    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?



    Yes...totally! I'm not even a week in and my husband has noticed all my internet activities.... he say " No Online Dating Woman" lmbo! silly!

    I'm on it all the time now. I've never been on facebook or twitter or any of that.. never did any of the social networking stuff at all, but this site is my new addiction... I would never be so focused on pushing myself on a daily basis of eating right and challenging my workouts if it wasn't for this site and the MFP support I have found here. It's awesome!

    yeah... but I like to think of it as a healthy addiction!



    I think so! ;-)
  • I have totally given up Facebook. MFP is my new passion. There's no drama and the people are much more supportive

    I'm with you on that one, I have deactivated my facebook account - because I find it boring compared to what I read and learn on here!

    I used to be..... last year, (joined in 2010) then I went on maintenance after losing 30lbs and put on 10lbs, it was hard and I gave up.... and came back again in November to lose the 10lbs but I had erased my old account (big mistake). I miss my old friends and it's just not the same this time :-(

    I have the App on my smartphone, and Im on it all time when I get home from work or right after I eat or drink something. Also when I go out to eat I usually look up something before I order it that way I know the nutritional facts. I Love this site, and I even got my dad hooked on it now...:happy:

    ...............There is a whole sub-culture of us that should really be in treatment.

    First the body... then the mind...

    but I guess it's a mind over matter situation

    If you don't mind, it don't matter....

    I guess I qualify...
    :)
    I remember when I was sedentary getting really annoyed when people would update their Facebook feeds about their runs all the time. So I've transitioned all of my weight based neuroses and analysis here.

    Sorry MFP. You're stuck with me.

    i am SOOOOO glad i'm not alone ... i was just thinking about how i replaced one addiction (to eating candy at my desk between meetings) with another (obsessively logging my food intake and reading the latest success story news) ...
  • I am totally obsessed with it...I have to enter all of my meals before I let myself eat...today is the first day since starting a month ago that I went over my calories and I'm totally bummed!

    I am getting there. I find myself logging in at work at least 2 times a day and when I get home.

    Love Love Love it. Everyone on here have the same goal in mind, health and fitness, whether it is seeking advice, giving advice, inspiring others or inspired by othere. I have not incountered any negativity on here yet, unlike fb every day drama.

    Yeah, I usually spend too much time here. But hey, I'm retired and I can do (or not do) what I want! :laugh:
  • Hello. My name is Jessica H. I am a MFP addict!....totally addicted!
    Have toyed with the idea of giving up Facebook, sometimes!
    :happy:
  • I call it my "Fitness Facebook"



    Seriously. That is awesome. I just started this week and I've barely been on FB or Pinterest or any of my previous addictions. I love this site!!!!! I think I have found a new addiction, which is just what I need, LOL, except this IS what I need and what I've been looking for. I am always on it on phone, laptop, wherever I am. And the friends I've made already in just a few short days are so nice and supportive. Couldn't ask for better :)

    I am completely addicted. I think at this point I could not go one day without checking it for at least 5 minutes. I am addicted to my MFP friendsies as well :)
