anyone else feel themself loggin on at all hours of the day and night?
There is no logical reason for this. This site is addictive. Soon we will
have to start a new site as a support group to ween people off this site.

    That's too funny! I was thinking the same thing. I often check this site before I even open my email!! LOL

    Well, the support is great and the information and hearing other stories is what helps us to continue.

    I know exactly what you mean:laugh: I like to log read the forums. Gives me a little motivation boost all day. And it's great to log on just before I sleep as I usually get an urge to eat something sweet so logging here gives me that extra bit of willpower when needed.

    So, I am new to this site. It is already set to my homepage and I update it CONSTANTLY (I stay at home 24-7)! I have only been on the site for 3 days now and I have lost 2 pounds!! My name is Mindy and I am addicted to MFP after only 3 days :oP It's my addiction and I love it! hehe

    I am so excited I came across this site. It is WONDERFUL !! I didn't realize how much I did eat during the day. This site is a reality check!! It is not that I was gaining weight, I just could not get the baby bulge off. My daughter did a doozie on me.

    Have a good day all!!

    Yes, I know exactly what every one is talking about. Ever since I joined this site, I am always checking in and seeing new memebers joining the new revolution of getting healthy. If by chance that I do not get the opportunity to enter my daily food intake, I am writing it down on any piece of paper and then entering when I get the chance. When this occurs I feel that I am neglecting something, it has become a daily ritual, just like my exercise. Yes, my name is Conny and I am a MFP addict.......

    I don't know what you're talking about!

    I'm not an addict! I can quit anytime I want to!

    I'll log off in five minutes, honest!

    I'm FINE!

    Yeah, I used to play computer solitaire and drink my morning coffee. Now I'm reading posts (and other fitness/nutrition sites). Honestly, when I went on vacation, I missed you guys. And that's more than I can say for some people I see all the time!:laugh:

    I admit I check my myspace first before all. LOL
    This is my second myspace?

    I know what you mean though. I think most of us come here to see what everyone is up to, to read the message boards and to look for motivation.

    :laugh: Too funny, but too true.

    Just look at how many posts I've had since I started in Jan! I'm not only addicted to MFP, but I can't shut up! :smile:

    Seriously though, they say people who are part of a community ie. weight watcher, nutrisystem that has support and tracks daily food intake, are more likely to lose weight and keep it off.

    I think this site does two things. Gives us something to do besides eat and gives us daily support, inspiration and praise. Things many of us can't get elsewhere.

    Like last night I was showing my boyfriend how you could see the muscle in my forearm now and he was like "what muscle?" (Love the man but he can be dense sometimes :grumble: ) I know if I posted here that I could now see a muscle emerging, I'd get all kinds of praise for it.

    This is something very healthy to be addicted to and I'll take it any day over chocolate... :happy:
