Have joined MFP less than a week ago and I feel like I spend so much time on here. Tracking calories, messaging and reading message boards. How much time do YOU spend on MFP a day?
Feel free to add me - I am on here alot so can help provide motivation :)

    I know exactly what you mean! My work is pretty boring so I easily get distracted reading this website!
    I think it might also be because we're new. I have been on here for 5/6 weeks now and realise that a lot of forum topics get repeated, so there isn't as much to read as in the first 2 weeks.

    It's not a bad thing to be addicted too though :) Healthier than chocolate!

    Totally with you on this one. I probably spend about half my day on here, if truth be told. Work is pretty slow right now and don't have a whole to do. Plus, some of the topics that people talk about on here is absolutely hilarious!!
    I hardly ever get on FB anymore. It seems like such a waste of time these days.

    By the way, will add you. Need all the motivation I can get :smile:

    At least we're not alone!!
    These forums are the firts place I go when I'm bored.
    I think I came on here about 40 minutes ago when I got an extreme chocolate craving and I havent left!

    (the benifit being now I'm going to go to the supermarket and buy a mango)
  • I'm on here pretty much all the time, reading pages and pages of stuff. I like to learn, but I may have a slight addiction. :ohwell: :smile:

    Oh yes, that's me! There's nothing on TV and my book isn't that interesting and it's too early to go to bed. MFP has more people on it commenting and doing things than there are on Facebook...

    usually it'll be an hour or so a day, plus tracking calories on my phone whilst at work. Recently as I have been on holiday it's been far more. Probably 3 hours a day minimum. I've learnt loads, but that hasn't stopped me putting on 4lbs over Christmas.....
  • I am pretty addicted!

    I go between facebook, MFP and a few other sites and it can keep me entertained for hours!

    Sometimes I even read the message boards while I'm on the exercise bike lol

    well it certainly is a good distraction to get away from food and it is helping us work towards our goals of a healthier lifestyle. i think i would spend at least two hours a day on here at the moment. going on holiday early january and there will be no internet! how will i cope??? lol

    I used to live on here, but after awhile I stepped away and went to normal life. Today is my first day back. Feels nice.

    I would say averaging at least 5hrs and when I am away...I am clicking on my phone..Luckily I don't have a demanding job...I can multi-task while on there...In the New Year I said that I would commit to may 2-3hrs...popping in because man it is just to hard not to love it all...The encouragement and really just chatting with friends... You are not alone...It is many of us addicted...:bigsmile:

    Ya.

    In fact, my husband had to initiate "a talk." He found it disturbing that for weeks every morning he found me sitting here with my coffee cast in this blue light, eyes glued to the [MFP] screen.

    Oops.

    It's a better vice than some alternatives. :ohwell:

    I AM A MFP ADDICT & WILL GLADLY ADMIT TO IT!!!
    I am a housewife with nothing but time on my hands once I get the house clean (which I do in between the hours I spend here) so I understand about being a MFP addict.
    I used to spend hours on Facebook - but not anymore.
    We live out in a rural area & the only friends I have are on MFP.
