to this damn site!! I'm checking it constantly to meet new people, get more workout ideas/tips, find new workout music and see how my friends are doing on their workouts and eating. Feeling a slight bit obsessive here...but I suppose there are worse things to obsess about. Just please tell me I'm not the only MFP addict!!

    Hate to tell you.. I think I am the same way... I need to make sure I document everything I eat, drink, do in terms of workouts.. and I love being on here to meet new friends as well.. I love looking at how my friends are doing in their weight loss goals and I commend them on their high's and comfort them on their lows.. always looking for people who can give me new work out routines and ideas and if I don't add up my food and work out diary each day.. I feel like I am gaining rather then loosing.. I love looking at how my weight goes up or down ( Always want down).. but really I guess what I am trying to say is... I LOVE MFP!!

    This morning, I knew I was headed down the same path when I logged into MFP to weigh-in and enter my breakfast BEFORE I went to Facebook to see what I missed overnight :)

    It's in my background at work, on my phone and on my desktop at home. I don't do well when I don't track. I haven't learned to eyeball or count in my head yet, I need an app for that lol. You're fine, I'm constantly on here snooping around. There's worse bandwagons to jump on.

LOL i guess there could be worse things right!? i log on after every meal (when we are out to eat it's when we get home), everytime i get on the computer, and at work it's always pulled up! :] this website keeps me motivated! i even calculate the calories of every meal BEFORE i eat them and then every one else's calories in my head now..

    I didn't come obsessed with this site until January. Than bam it was like LOVE at first sight. Even my FB posts are slackin' - but it doesn't matter. I'm goin' to be Bikini ready and than some, this summer. While everyone is just startin' to think about losin' or gettin' in shape for it :) ...

    Life is what you make it...xo

    addiction, what addiction. Plenty of nice people, great ideas, good motivation. Not to mention the awesome meal planning/tracking side of things.

    Nooooo, you're not addicted. Thats bad for you and this site is great for you!

    Great topic! I am totally addicted. I work from home and keep a tab open so I can keep peeking in, I love the friends I have and making new ones. I have not been on face book in weeks. I check on everyone before bed and say good night and can not wait to get up in the morning to say hello.

    Nope, you're not the only one....this is kind a lifeline to me...now that I'm trying to lose weight and live healthier....I'm new, so I haven't any friends on here yet....and more often than most....I read the post without ever posting anything or starting a new topic of my own.....but I'm still on here ALL the time.....it's nice to see that the struggle isn't personal....everyone is going through it.....I'm glad we have this resource....
