I'm cheating on Facebook! :o)

Ever since I've been on MFP, which as only been about 2 weeks, I have been on FB less and less. I still log on to FB everyday to check to see what's going on, but as far as posting things or even commenting on my friends' statuses, nope.

It's like I've had this friend for a long time and the friend is really cool...but then I met a new friend. The new friend and I have WAY more in common than the old friend. The old friend called and wanted to hang out...I told them I was busy. Now they're suspicious. Saying things like, "I saw a new app on your phone, what's that about?" Dare I tell the truth? Should I confess that I've found a friend who has my best interest in mind? Do I admit that I really DON'T like to log on and see how much people hate their lives and all they do is complain? Will I admit that my feelings have changed? That's it me and not them? Or do I live the double life? Playing both ends of the rope? (blank stare into space like they do on the soap operas)

    I know the feeling. FB is ok, but just not as cool as MFP. LOL

    facebook has been getting pretty boring lately. I don't have many friends on here so I am not sure I enjoy it better as of right now

    OMG, this is the TRUTH!!!!, girl do what you have to do, FB is international news!. Ihave also given up fb i just check an bounce, theres nothing i want to say to fb why, cause people are do caught up in BS sorry for my language. I find on mfp I can be ME and only ME and I know people dont hate or say bad stuff. Your friends will always be your freinds, but there are times in our lives were we need to DO US!!, whoever is there on the end of your journey are the ones who went through it with you. Dont give nobody the satisfaction of makiing you feel guilty of changing your lifestyle for the better. You serve happinessand you will succeed!

    lol....this is great...i'm still getting on fb, we use it for our ministry to keep in contact with people and let them know when we're going to be ministering somewhere, and all my friends are christians, but i still find there is so much stupid drama.....i find myself staying more and more on MFP. it rocks!!!!

    I too am in the same boat. I prefer this friend much more. This friend supports me and cheers me on. FB just lets me down because there is never anything interesting and few who cheer me on like here.

    I totally understand this. My MFP friends are way more cheerful and supportive. Half my facebook friends look the other way if they see me out! Too funny.

    I used to be a twitter addict. Was on it all day everyday....Since signing up with MFP 70 days ago, I have logged on to Twitter twice. :happy:

    What a great post!! Although I haven't totally ditched my old friend, this new friend (we share) is so much more better. I think it's about time top sit the old friend down and tell 'em the truth. That way you, and your new friend, can officially go public and no more hiding around!! :laugh:

    & you know what.. facebook is a bad influence..lol Most of my friends are in their early to mid 30's and they are always posting pictures of them having drinks and partying.. not to mention pictures of their yummy I mean gross meals... hahaha I'd much rather be on here getting my workout on, eating healthy and enjoying friends that don't need any favors =)

    LOL, This is the coolest app for health and fitness. FB just can't compare. Sometimes we just have to move on in life to move ahead. Good luck with reaching you fitness goals. I've lost 30 Lbs since I started using this app. It wasn't easy at first but got easier as time progressed.

    You shake away the fog, stand tall, and proudly admit it! I'm seeing someone else! Someone who cares for me like you never did and I'm glad, I tell you, GLAD to have found my new friend and I'm strong enough to shout it to the world.....I LOVE MFP!!!!!

    I feel the same way! I've been on here way more than on Facebook. Who wouldn't love MFP?! I talk it up all the time when people ask what I've been doing: "Working hard exercising, eating right and logging my calories and exercise on this great website and app for my phone called MyFitnessPal! Tons of great support from real people who have the same goals! You should check it out." Why keep this awesome thing a secret--share it with everyone!

    I was getting bored with FB anyways, and was not logging on as much. I do like MFP better, just wish it functioned a little more like FB with auto refreshing and letting you know when someone posted on your links. Here, I have to go to my profile and check for responses more.

    I feel the same way - the only reason I get on facebook anymore is because everything I post on here is automatically posted on my facebook page.

    By the way... those of you who don't know me... I have created my own little weight loss group on facebook and have the settings set so that everything on there is very private! Look for us at Ourlittle Girlblog if you'd like to join us!! A lot of the people on there are on WW or are doing some other kind of plan, but we're all in the same boat with the same goals.
