Are you addicted to MFP?

Is it just me, or does anyone else check MFP as much (if not more) than Facebook? I check the forums. I look up recipes. I check to see if anyone has responded to my forum posts. I stalk other people's progress. I get jealous when one of my friends looses weight and I don't. Yep.....it's a sickness!

    ABSOLUTELY! The only reason I still have a facebook is for my friends that do not have MFP, lol

    lol now I will log in everyday to the point where my calculation of food is obsessive. But I just want to make sure I am as accurate as possible. lol

    I am!
    I wasn't on here much last week and I felt like I went off my diet(even though I didn't) sometimes I wonder if it's a good or bad thing, keeps me focused but I can't be obsessed forever right? At some point I'm going to have to survive on my own.

    I was the same when I first started, but it has worn off a bit. I am addicted during the work week but weekends I hardly log on! Trying to get better with that aspect of things.

    Funny thing...I think most people on MFP are straight up addicts! I was just reading a post from a guy who is complaining that it is such a pain to log everything...lol. I had such a different reaction when I first joined, I found it to be exciting and fun! (go figure). I think you are either crazy addicted to MFP, or it doesn't really move you. Yeah, I am on MFP waaaaay more than FB, I hardly even go there anymore...and I am on MFP first thing in the morning ... intermittently all day, and last thing before bed. Oh and I forgot to mention that when I am not on MFP on my computer, I am for sure on my phone checking the latest comment via email!
