    MFP dominates my time over Facebook, Google+, and Twitter combined. The others still serve a useful purpose but I can go days without logging into them. I don't miss a day on MFP as it is directly tied to my health and fitness. That's the hook right there.
    this! I love that this keeps me motivated and I have such great friends too!

    I'm not a fan of FB but it kind of reconnected me to old friends and relatives. I say 'kind of' because I am rarely on FB and don't really communicate often with anyone there and didn't even before I discovered this site.

    However, I am on here every day anyway to log my food and exercise and stay accountable throughout the day and enjoy encouraging friends on here and having their support as well. This is way better and more supportive than FB.

    I have a Twitter account and never use it. Hate it and think it's a really stupid, boring site. Does anyone really read tweets? Who has time for that? Not sure why it's so popular. (No offense to anyone who enjoys it or has time to read tweets.)

    facebook for fat people,lol

    LOL! That's what I call it too! I love MFP for just that reason...I am a FAT PERSON trying to learn how to be a THIN PERSON, because I have no idea how to do that, I need more than a diet. Everyone here are teaching me how to acheive the mindset and lifestyle to be that thin person while they are going through the exact same struggles I am.

    Yes. I log in faithfully on MFP. I went one week where I didn't go on FB and I posted to say hi and and no one commented or liked my post.... Only my mom :/ ...... Yea I come on here and I wake up to everyone telling me have a great day, etc. So.... I don't go on FB at all...I completely <3 MFP :) and if it wasn't for MFP I wouldn't have lost weight, eat better, exercise regularly again, and meet the greatest people on this planet! :)

    I go on FB when MFP doesn't have enough updates fast enough for me, but MFP is my preferred site :wink: I just love all the positivity and the great advice and all the love :) oh and it's filled with so many more "real" people. At least my pals seem very open and honest and I just love them all :heart:

    I just love it when people on FB are posting various nutritional myths randomly. Don't want to get too technical on their arses :tongue:

    MFP for me for sure!

    I check FB every day but I spend more time on here. I like the support from my MFP friends because we're all in the same boat. If I mentioned my weight loss or anything related on FB I'd be fighting off the tumbleweed. It's just not interesting enough... although photos of cats and info about the colour of someone's kid's poop is :/

    FB is great for keeping in touch with friends far away but I rarely share my weight stuff on there because it's not really relevant to my FB peeps. I'd feel like I was bragging or boring everyone to tears.

    I've only been on here two weeks (starting my third) but yeah, I'm here more than FB. I leave MFP up all day. FB is up only when I get an email notification or I want to play solitare.

    This is my homepage. I spend WAY more time on mfp than anything else. This is the only reason I even turn the computer on LOL. Sure I play a few games of tetris or words with friends :smile: since i got the internet going, but that is about it for fb. I feel encouraged every time I get on mfp!

    I'm on MFP way more than facebook. This is a part of my life that my real life friends don't know about, and I feel like I can relate to people here dealing with the same issues. It's a wonderful safe place :)
