Move over facebook....myfitnesspal is my new most visited website!! I have had the mobile app for 2 weeks and I love it! Today is the first day I actually logged onto the website. I love it even more then the mobile version! The people on here are very friendly and offer great advice. It's great to connect with people who have the same goals and struggles that I do. I'm looking forward to losing all my weight along with gaining new friends. Add me and let's encourage one another!

    I agree. I think I'd much rather come on here rather then Facebook.

    Definitely more positive here than on facebook. And a little bit more addictive too (even w/ the facebook games lol)

    Feel free to add me!

    I spend way more time on here than I do FB now! I love MFP! When I am not working out or logging in my food or whatever I look around and see what people share. It's a fab community. I love it too!!!!

    Facebook, what's that? lolololo just kidding, agreed, I love this site... Facebook is great for connecting with friends and family. I started a weight loss challenge in my facebook groups for my friends and family, it ended today. 7 of us lost close to 10 lbs each over 8 weeks, and most of them joined this site because of the challenge..... this site has it benefits but so does facebook. Don't ya'll just LOVE networking... I wish I would have invented it.. I would be rich now and I could hire a chef and a personal trainer... hahahahahahah

    I agree totally, Started this site 5 weeks ago with my family(14 of us) as part of a biggest loser challenge. We post and motivate each other daily. It's been wonderful. Were starting to see and feel results. This site is so positive and easy to use. I'm thinking of deleting my facebook account because i'm addicted to MFP

    This site is awesome so far and I'm bouncing back and forth between the 2 :) My hope here is to find some local exercise buddies. I found my way to this site through a facebook weight loss and fitness support group started by a friend. The group there is pretty active, private and invite only with people that are connected by actually knowing each other in real life for the most part. We've got near 100 people involved and about 40 of us are doing the Warrior Dash in June. (It will be my first!) It has been a great motivator.

    hahaha crackbook! yes this is my new addiction too!

    AND I dont have to feel like a desperate gen y (no offence gen yers!) to ask for friends, since the people who are my friend are also my sources of motivation and eventually success :)

    The more friends the merrier!!

    Hi there and glad you dropped it for the online version. I don't have the app on my phone but I'm sure it is great too. The support is great on here! I was spending way too much time on fb and this site is sooo much healthier:)

    Welcome to the site.. i would be more than happy to be friends with you.. I use this site for 2months an counting.:happy:

    I feel the same way...I'm so tired of all the slurs I see people throwing back and forth via their status updates. Pick up the phone if you want to argue. The rest of the world doesn't need to know you now hate your BFF. Oh, and those vague cryptic remarks people make that could apply to half their friends list make me cringe. Would you say that in person to a group of people? I think not. I'd much rather use this site, where we all just want to motivate and support each other.

    It's nice when addictions are good for our body. lol Usually they are bad for us. On here I get so motivated if I'm being lazy on getting to my workout or what I'm eating it takes just a few minutes of reading and I'm snapped back in place.
