    The only one reason why I may go back to fb is because I was in Iraq for two years and made friends with a lot of Iraqis and would like to keep in touch.

    I also deleted my FB account last year after 10 years of being a "user". Best decision I ever made. People are much more positive here and are less prone to rant.

    I quit FB 3 or 4 years ago. I missed it for about a month...now I am so glad I quit. It's such a drain in so many ways. As for the photos - I had over 1000 of my kids. I logged back in a few months ago and exported them all. Now they reside in my google photos, rendering FB useless to me. MFP I enjoy because I have a goal and I use it as a tool. I stay out of the silliness, I don't visit "chit-chat" and I'm very picky about who I let be my friend. I've been here since Jan 2013 - so far, so good. I've remained drama free, I've enriched my mind and body and I've met some like-minded ladies :)

    got family across the globe and some good friends I have on Facebook, so account open as that's how I share pics with my family in one swift go. Could do like mentioned above without all the "don't be heartless and type Amen" or the child abuse and animal abuse stuff. I mean I'm not blind, I know there's a crappy world out there with crazy folks I don't need FB reminding me. I could also do with every other person taking a pic with their Starbucks drink....
    Other than that, this is also my zone away from FB and my hearty advice, plus tons of encouragement here that you don't necessarily get on FB because after a while, people really don't care that you worked out and ate well.... IMHO

    For me each serves a different purpose, although I do have a few friends who are on both. But for the most part, I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends from high school, college, and my time in NYC, as well as my extended family. I also use it to communicate with people in my community...friends and neighbors.

    I suppose I can be a little more uncensored on MFP (although I can be pretty outrageous on FB.) I figure I don't have to worry about the judgement of my mother-in-law or the president of the PTO here on MFP. While my social interactions here are mostly somewhat superficial...there are times I feel I can also be more candid. There is no fear of revealing the whole truth when there is no fear of judgement.

    Just as I rarely post pictures of my family on MFP, I wouldn't dream of posting some of my MFP photos on Facebook (especially not the ones that have led up to my current photo ban).

    And i thought FB was bad for photo bans. If it doesn't involve violence it should be celebrated. I'm the same with pics here, I would never post them on FB although I have posted some on my photo blog
