I'm a MFP addict because instead of working right now I'm writing this post.

I'm a MFP addict because sometimes I refuse to eat until I check my MFP diary first.

What makes you a MFP addict? C'mon don't be shy.

    I'm an addict because I look forward to seeing all my friends succeed and secretly yearn to be there to help support them when they are struggling a bit.

    I WAS a total FB junkie! Loved it and constantly checking or updating now. Now I'm ALWAYS on here updating my food or exercise diaries, checking up on my MFP friends, or reading the post here. Still keeping my FB account but don't use it nearly as much as I did!

    Hi, my name is Rod and I'm not a MFP addict...

    Why?

    Simple, I ditched my last addiciton (nicotine) 5 months ago and swore not to get addicted to anything else. That being said however I do spend a awful lot of time in here... the reasons for that are many but here are some:

    - Great Database of foods
    - Easy to use and track food and exercise on the go
    - Free to use as opposed to other systems that really offer no advantage for the price they charge
    - Fantastic community of people that are always available to help one another
    - Great source of information
    - Many friends that motivate me daily to become better
    - Easy to share with my partner
    - Easy to track goals
    - Progress reports
    - Nutrition Reports

    These are just a small number of great features of MFP, I'd probably stay here all day to try to list them all but now I really need to go stretch after my daily exercise.

    Be back later!! :)

    the fact that everytime i see a thread about being addicted to mfp i post,

    if i'm not on mfp on my computer at home, i'm on it on my phone, and i dont even have an app!

    i get in trouble at home for being on it too much

    i've earned a nickname only on mfp ( well i am awesome and all so i deserve it lol)

    I find this the most encouraging way to connect with people. Here is a group of people who are focused with goals and want each other to succeed. What's better than that?

    MFP has given me control over my health (via diet and exercise tracking). I'm a believer and I can't live without it.

    I'm pretty much on here all day, and lurk just about everywhere. And finally, a tool that has proved successful to me. This is this smallest I've ever been in a looong time and still losing.

    I am a MFP addict because We all have SO much in common and am not afraid to admit it. I feel so empowered since taking charge of my life and have an entire cheering section on MFP:flowerforyou:

    I am an addict because:
    I check MFP more than I check Facebook...
    I’m on it all the time (usually on my phone, but sometimes on the computer)...
    I love the accountability it provides me for working out & eating right...
    I tell everyone I know about it…especially if they’re paying fees to be a part of something similar...
    I love knowing how many calories I can “spend” throughout my day...
    I love that complete strangers comment & encourage me...
    I love celebrating successes with others…even if I only know them through MFP...
    I have no one on my friends list that I know in real life & I enjoy it...

    I could go on, but that’s enough for you to get the idea. :happy:

    DITTO! I'm totally inspired to have a healthier lifestyle and I can't eat a thing before I check to see if it'll put me in the read....
    I definitely know I'm an addict because I don't like to cook and today I just bought 3 recipe books so that I'll be the queen in my kitchen :)
