I'm not linked to it. I was when I did DailyMile but not here. Don't really know why. Just didn't feel as comfortable.0

No. Freaking. Way.
That is the LAST thing I'd want to broadcast to everyone.0 -
I don't link my account either, this is something personal and just for me. I think that I need to seperate some of my personal life from FB as everyone is your best friend on there but also a critic. I like the comfortability on here socializing with like minded people and the positive energy0

I haven't told anyone IRL about my MFP account. The things I post on here can be very personal, emotional, sometimes embarrassing. I know that the support I get on here is enough, and I don't know how my facebook friends would react.
This is a very specific community for a specific purpose, and you can't be sure of how all your facebook friends would respond to the things you say, eat, and post.
Those are my reasons!0 -

Yes...but the only thing I have it tell Facebook is when I have lost weight (not when I do a workout). I don't care if people know. I started out at about 35 pounds over my goal weight. I have a lot of FB friends who keep complaining about how fat they are and how they're doing this workout or that workout (all cardio) and then they post about eating at Chick-Fil-A just about every day so I figure whenever they're ready to get serious and start eating better and adding in some weight training, they will know who to come to with questions!0

MFP not linked to FB at all. Infact MFP is pulling me away from FB0

I havnt linked mine but I have spread the word of it and alot of my friends have joined recently (they havnt added me though pfft) I think everyone in my life knows about my weight issue and journey so It doesnt bother me if they see. Its a good subject you have brought up0

While I tell everyone about MFP and how awesome and what a great tool I think it is it is not linked to my FB. For one I don't even know how to do that and for two I think it would be annoying to see those kinds of updates all the time (not sure what those updates would be, just what my imagination is telling me it would be like ).0

Exactly....why broadcast it to everyone??No. Freaking. Way.

I don't have it linked to MFP, but I do have it linked to my endomondo account, which shows my exercise. I am pretty open with my FB friends about my weight loss journey.
If you have people who you believe would be critical of you, why are they your FB friends? Time to trim that fat, too, me thinks.0 -
Nope. They serve two different purposes for me.0

I post.. I post my workouts and my when I complete my dairy and am under or over calorie goal and I also post weight loss.. I get many friends there that add to my motivation and I have inspired others to join me here... I'm also a facebook addict!! LOL0

I tend to use facebook as my public face in case someone whats to have a look at my life without me giving up too many details about my life. Here, twitter, my VBB profile are all places I feel more comfortable to be myself.0

ME TOO!!!!!0 -
My friends hate my fitness stuff as it is... the last thing I need is for them to see the posts on facebook =\
MFP has become a replacement for facebook anyway haha0 -
Nah, those *kitten* don't care about my weightloss! LOL0
-
FAcebook?! What is this facebook you speak about? To be honest since I have been here I haven't been on facebook much. I have told some folks about it when I first started MFP but it went on deaf ears. Oh well their loss on such an amazing community.0

I have a photo album on Facebook that only a handful of my most trusted family/friends can see. Other than that, no one even knows I'm trying to lose weight. The guys at work know I'm trying to improve my upper body strength and my overall stamina, and also that I log my food to assure I'm eating sensibly. That's it.
I don't talk about my weight loss of Facebook because I don't like the pressure it creates. I don't being checked up on and if I fall off the wagon for a month, I don't want to have to explain it to anyone.0 -
Pretty sure that would upset the space-time continuum0
-
I HAZ NO FACEBOOK!0
-
mine is linked to post workouts and weight loss only.
Its actually prompted a few friends to join here and get their own butts in gear when they see my weight going down, down, down0 -

I have MFP linked to Facebook.
As a result, a few of the friends on there have taken a look and, 1 or 2 have joined MFP.
Therefore, if I can help others by getting them on here, I am happy to let others see my posts.0 -
No. Freaking. Way.

I 'liked' MFP on Facebook, never really been on the page tho.
I have a photo album on there of exercise, nutrition (meals, dishes) and progress pics. I figure if someone wants to check it out, they can. Occasionally people message me with questions.
Out of 5 or 600 friends, I can think of 4 that actually exercise (and look like they do) of my immediate friends, and 2 amazing ladies that compete internationally.
And sadly, I'd say at least 1/3 of my friends list is outta shape. More realistically probly even 1/2.0 -
Nope.. not on your life. In fact, since I've started MFP, I spend more time here than Facebook. Loving it! :-)0

I am linked up. I have fitness friends so they can comment on my post. Also MFP gives you the choice to chose from. I only post about my diary and mt workouts. BTW. Who cares what people think!0
