Hi everyone,

My name is jtallwood and I'm addicted to MFP! I've been logging for 2 weeks but only recently started using the message boards. I'm 23, live in Canada (a french canadian!), go to university (L.L.B + MBA) and today, while doing school work, I found myself procrastinating on MFP instead of Facebook!

Like I said, I'm new with the friend thing and message board here so if you're like me (or not!), feel free to add me! I'm a real fan of bootcamp, I have a love/hate relationship with squats and lunges (I'm sure I'm not the only one around here!), I go to a lot of music concerts and movies and LOVE cooking, browsing for new recipes.

Am I the only one addicted to this website? :)

    I'm also addicted! I can't even believe this freaking site. It's amazing and has completely changed my life!! LOVE it!! All my friends are so supportive, also!! Sadly, more so than most of my real life friends and family who think I'm silly for counting calories. Pfffffft let them tell me I'm silly this summer when I'm ROCKING my new bathing suit! ;)

    Yep, count me in too.

    When you check MFP before Facebook each time, I think you are a qualified member of the club. :smokin:

    Lol, I always check MFP before Facebook. And sometimes just MFP! Although I wish MFP had certain features like Facebook. For example a "Like" button and I wish it told you when someone commented on your status so you don't have to go look through them all again.

    I am addicted too; when I am online this is the first place I go to. There is too much drama on Facebook. I limit myself to about an hour a day on there and that's just to catch up with friend's I don't get to see a lot.

    Me too!! I love this site! I've only been using it for six days and am completely addicted. Everyone here is so nice and positive. I was really surprised at the level of support that people give to others they just "met".

    Me too. I am on here several times a day. Dont even check facebook anymore. I'd rather be here with friends that have the same problems as me. You can add me. I just joined a little over a week ago.

    <~~~totally addicted. I love the support I have received here. I check here before FB every morning. I have JUST started to open up on my FB about my weight loss journey, but I would NEVER feel comfortable telling anyone there how much I weigh, but I would here, because there are people heavier and lighter, but we all have the same goal, a new, fit, life! I love the Success Stories the most, and I will read them for hours. I used the app first, so didn't know about the boards, and when I found the website, I was hooked for sure! I always check my email to see if anyone has responded to my updates, and then come here and refresh constantly...lol.

    I think that we're more in tune with each other here because our purpose is the same! :) I still check fb because many of my friends aren't in the same wave length, but I've invited a few to the site and some have joined! I was invited to check out this site by a friend and I love him for that! :love: My first thought was, "so you think I'm fat?!?!?! " lol! :wink: but I know it's his way of saying he cares! :flowerforyou:
