I love MFP. love, love, love. I'm starting to think I love it too much. I'm on here more than I'm on any other site, including netflix and facebook O_0 I even started bringing my laptop to lectures JUST to browse around MFP. Anybody else feel like this?

    MFP IS my facebook. And it makes me happier than facebook because people are actually supportive...

    My boyfriend gets mad at me for being on it all the time

    YES.
    Oh my goodness. My twitter is down to about once a month and my facebook once a week for about 3 seconds just to check events and check in my friends.
    MFP is my new life.

    I have totally given up Facebook. MFP is my new passion. There's no drama and the people are much more supportive

    Yep, obsessed as well! It's refreshing to be able to talk about fitness and nutrition with other like minded people!

    I only joined on the 12th and MFP has been my first site, my last site and my inbetween everything else site. It stays open while I'm at work.

    I constantly browse the message boards, blogs etc.

    I'm new and just learning and I haven't worked up the nerve to talk on the boards... but I am also obsessed with MFP.

    Edit* like just now I learned I didn't have to copy/paste my ticker... haha.

    MFP IS my facebook.

    ^^This. :drinker:

    Calculated calories in my head on the way home? Check.
    Have MFP friends who I text on a daily basis? Check.
    Have MFP friends who know entirely too much about me? Check.
    Had dreams that involve MFP? Check.

    I could probably think of more. Umm... yeah, I'm obsessed.

    I kind of gave up an addiction to foods for an addiction to MFP. I actually started a FB account to get myself away from MFP. My FB is for extended family and old friends that we don't live near anymore. MFP is for fitness. I don't ever want to be without it. I get so much positive feedback and advice here. :flowerforyou:

    It's basically taken the place of FB for me. As someone else said, people are more supportive and generally more happy here. I don't care if your dog just peed on your rug. How many calories did you burn cleaning it up is what I want to know. :laugh:

    Just kidding! Kinda.

    Yep, I'm off work at the moment as I'm recovering from a hospital procedure and it has really helped pass the time and give me direction. I can't stand facebook any more.

    Totally obsessed. I eat a meal, I can't wait to log it in. I exercise, I can't wait to log it in. I run reports checking my nutrition, my carbs, my calories, my cholesterol for the past 7, 30 60 whatever days. Totally obsessed and love the results! Much better obsession than binge eating.

    I honestly would never be able to live without this site. This site has changed my life. I love this site, even more than facebook, and I love facebook to death.
