    You and me both. But as long as the pounds keep coming off, I refuse to give it up!

    ......when you weigh yourself after solid waste has passed so that it adds to the amount of pounds lost...



    Wow - other people do that too????

    I've got one more - when the other people in your household know they better not throw any food packaging out before you've had a chance to log it. :laugh:

    I just came up with a few more:

    ...when you log 0 calorie condiments just for the sodium content to be added into your diary...
    ...when you're intrigued by the muscle and tendon movements in your *now* slender hands as you're typing status updates, thread responses, and PM's...
    ...when you secretly use the MFP app to look up the amount of calories of your friends' meals when you're out with them...
    ...when you quietly start muttering healthy alternative ingredient replacements to your friends' meals...

    ...when you actually wonder if it's acceptable to bring your food scale with you to the restaurant you're going to tonight.... :embarassed: :ohwell:

    Omg I'm so guilty of most of these! I'm glad u all understand. My fbook friends just don't understand my MFP addiction. It often makes me wonder if my FB friends would get along with my MFP pals? Lol

    Great thread.

    Soo guilty! And glad to see this didn't end up another debate on exercise calories, even though it came close:)

    My co-worker is constantly astounded by how much time I spend on this site when there isn't any work to do. Just astounded! If she only knew;)

    You have MFP up on your computer while using the MFP bar-code reader on your Android phone.

    been there done that.

    I knew I was addicted last night, when we lost power, due to high winds, and I was freaking out because I couldn't log in my 100 calorie popcorn and clementine, and I couldn't post on these chit-chat forums!! :noway:

    So I'm not the only one who has been tempted to "forget" to take off my HRM for you know what? I still want to one of these days out of curiosity and so I can justify an extra snack! My fiancé would really be lookin at me like "what are you wearing?"

    You also know your an addict when you jump out of bed on a weigh in day excited to tell MFP what you lost and bring your phone to the bathroom! This morning I lost one pound and didn't even have time to do a victory dance because I was updating MFP, and my signature LOL

    This is me too.

    Hahahaha...brilliant post!!!!!

    the only thing i'd add is

    - you're gutted when you realise you've left your phone at home, not because you don't want to miss any calls or texts but because you won't be able to log your food the second after (or even before) you put it in your mouth!!

    ...when you start competing with your MFP friends' calorie burns...
    ...when you weigh yourself after solid waste has passed so that it adds to the amount of pounds lost...
    ...when you refresh for status updates so much, you almost forget to eat...
    ...when you're refreshing status updates while you're eating...
    ...when you have your laptop in the kitchen as you're cooking...
    ...when there's a food scale next to your laptop like an add-on accessory...

    These are TOTALLY me. My laptop is in the kitchen with me the second I wake up in the morning while I make my breakfast and follows me again in the evening while I make my dinner. I don't have a smartphone so no app for me. Which means I don't eat out very often. WHEN/IF I do, I log it before I leave!! And the second I get home I am back on again in case I missed something!!!

    What do you mean quietly?!? I just flat out tell em! Hey, you know if you had gotten green beans instead of mashed potatoes it would have been much healthier for you, right? ROFL!
    I am still fairly new so I haven't met ALL the requirements for being an addict, but there is a huge YET at the end of that statement! I LOVE MFP!

    - You check MFP in the morning, before any other website.
    - Your friends on facebook are wondering where you've been.
    - You suspect that you're burning significant calories just from hitting the reload button.
    - You avoid eating something because you think it will be too complicated to log.
    - You have an amazing knack for estimating the calories in a plate just by looking at it.
    - You work out extra hard just so your "____ burned ____ calories" post will be impressive.
    - You do a happy dance when your friends lose weight (or gain, depending on goals).
    - Someone asks you how much you weigh in regular conversation and your answer is accurate to the tenth of a lb.
    - You've engaged in a passionate discussion exploring alternatives to mayonaisse.
    - You've engaged in an online flame-war around the topics of nutrition and exercise.
    - You roll your eyes when you see a "should I eat my exercise calories" post appear in recent activity (which is to say, several times a day)
    - You weigh yourself before and after daily activities, such as shaving, just to see if there was a difference.
    - During sex you find yourself wishing you wore your HRM.

    I'm sure ya'll can add to this list :bigsmile:


    Check, check. check, check........ Yep that about covers them. Yea I can cover every one of them. :tongue:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...this one was my favourite: "You roll your eyes when you see a "should I eat my exercise calories" post appear in recent activity (which is to say, several times a day)"...lol...soooooo true...the neverending debate that is on MFP over and over and over again...lol.

    LMAO to this one but I fear I can relate to most of them!

    Thanks for sharing!
