Just wondering, I think I'm becoming addicted to these forums. I am currently unemployed and spend way too much time on here. At least I'm not watching TV and I'm learning alot of good tips and picked up some great recipes. Honestly I spend about 4 hours per day. I know, I need to get a life. Maybe when I'm skinny, I search one out. :wink:

    I think of MFP as monounsaturated fat, and some (not all) other sites as less healthy fat. MFP is good fat, but if you consume too much, you'll gain unwanted weight!

    That said, I have no idea how much time I spend here...

    It can be addicting but I have pulled back a lot and need to pull back so more because I have stuff and responsiblities that are going lacking. But I am getting better and plan to limit it to less than one hour if that per day.

    Way, way too much. I used to spend up 16 hours a day on MFP. Now, I've cut back to 1-3 hours.

    If I am having a "bad" day I spend more time on here devouring the message boards. I love reading success stories to keep myself motivated, reading about different food or recipes so I can come up with new ideas ect...

    Days that I am really tracking...eh, not on here very much....

    I check in quite a few times a day, sometimes spend a good amount of time looking through the forums. I'm sure I spend too much time. At least a couple hours a day I would guess.

    Probably about an hour a day if I'm at home or if work is really slow, but on busy days, I'm on just long enough to log in my food and exercise.

    :ohwell: depends. My feed is littered with others who are also trying to cut back.


    The advice will contradict itself every third post. :laugh:

    The same topic will be repeated eleven times a day.

    Don't ask me how I know this......

    MFP is the main reason I refuse to even start a FB account. If I open a FB account it will be solely for counpons offered now from food companies.

    When I get up Monday-Friday before work I check MFP for about 30 mins. Then on my lunch break (1 hour) I'm on MFP for about 45 mins, so yeah, most of my break! Then after work I go on a little bit before working out, then after I get back from working out it's usually the first thing I check. :laugh: Then after I'm all dressed and ready for beg I'm on it again...

    So basically I'd say I spend a good 3-4 hours on MFP daily right now, not including the logging I do from my phone when I'm on the go! On the weekends it varies depending on how busy I am.

    when i first joined i was pretty addicted to the forums, but now after a few months of being a member i find people posting the same thing daily. i still check it daily, but id say all together total between logging stuff and posting on forums i spend probably about 45 minutes on MFP.

    I definitely check this more than I check facebook but I am just starting and learning. I am sure I will cut back at some point.

    I check this site more than any other of my social networking sites. I would say that I spend at least 4-5 hours a day on here.
