I love the friends I have met on here.... I find myself drawn to the people here then the friends on my facebook pages! I find that I can be completely honest about myself here bc no one here will judge me bc I'm heavier then everyone else! We all have the same goal whether we are losing 100+ pounds, 50 pounds or 10 pounds! Every pound is just as hard to lose. No matter how many you have to lose. We can do this!!! MFP helps in so many ways!!! Thanks for being my friends and keeping me accountable and cheering me on or encouraging me when needed! MFP friends make it really hard to give up! We got this!!!

    about 50/50 I'd say. but I wish that this site was more like FB. I use the mobile app mostly, and find it difficult to track threads of comments on MFP if I go back on after being at work, whereas, FB will tell me when someone has commented on a status that I have commented on. Maybe this years the developers will get the hint! oh and a spellcheck or autocorrect!

    I like that there is always someone around the world going through the same and you can bounce ideas off on this site.
    Once I've checked people's stati on FB that's it, but on here you can spend hours going through forums or tracking stuff and seeing what it gives ya etc!
    I love getting a WTG and some motivation from here, never get that from FB. And I'm totally honest on here. When I'm down or put on a lb, it goes on here and when I'm really happy about losing a lb or NSV everyone cheers for me on here. I don't get that on FB

    I do! I mainly go onto FB now just to play Words with Friends, and that takes maybe 10 minutes, then I'm off again.

    I'm on here way more than I was ever on Facebook, over the holidays I pared down my friends list over on Facebook, I didn't really need 20 people on there from highschool that we didn't have the time to talk to each other during school and have maybe run into one another twice in the 14 years since school. It's trimmed down to a few key friends and family that is from coast to coast.
    So much better now that I've trimmed the ones that always do the "status updates" IE "I'm deciding what to have for dinner" I'm taking out what I decided on... I'm cooking dinner ... I'm eating dinner.... I'm walking the dog after dinner... who cares you are NOT that important that you need to spam my news feed endlessly.

    Oh and... please don't go with auto-correct, the red squiggly line under misspelled words is plenty.. auto-correct isn't intuitive enough to select the word I'm actually trying to use...
    example from the other night ""Did you mean: what is "nutritional info" of a home butchered human" came up when I misspelled HAM... cripes " I was trying to find the sodium levels for some ham that was done at a butcher shop rather than what is at the grocery store loaded with salt...

    I also don't link this to facebook, this handle is a unique to me identifier only used here, the profile pic here is not used elsewhere, every site I belong to there is a unique username. It's kind of scary how much personal info can be pieced together from the sites you frequent :)

    Me! FB doesn't have cool forum discussions/threads like MFP.

    Absolutely! The postive attitude and encouragement we receive on here is incredible. I find FB a gossip hole and I don't really care what people are doing every minute of the day, whereas on here we can actually talk while bettering ourselves! What more can we ask for? Glad to see others feel the same!

    So absolutely true! I'm a natural born MFPer!!! Facebook is okay, but it doesn't really build relationships and you may not have much in common with your friends there...but MFP is full of relationships and lots of feel good things. Love it.
