    but I'm checkin mfp like every 30 minutes when I'm at work
    and on my smartphone when I'm going from work to home by metro
    and at home

    I deleted my MFP account last year because I found myself being too obsessed. And I guess the fact that I'm back under a new account proves that I really AM too obsessed.


    Seriously though, sometimes I do think I'm nearly unhealthily (is that a word) obsessed with this. Always thinking about food, calories, exercise.... it's not normal right?! I've lost the weight, I'm at a good weight now (less would be nice but not a necessity anymore), so why am I still so obsessed with this, wish I could let go more and just eat/exercise normally without thinking it over so much.

    I am. Not only because it keeps me motivated, but because everyone on here cares more about me doing a workout than people on facebook. People probably go blah blah blah but on here they encourage me! I love this site. Yes, it's my social site as well!! And tons of people in similar situations!!

    Love love love it! I am a relative newcomer... I should probably get more friends who like to write because I only have a few. And the ones who I interact with are so supportive and help keep me going!

    I'm a SAHM and MFP is up and running on my laptop whenever I'm home. I check in every few minutes and log meals and exercise as I go...and read the message boards... and check in on my friends.....does that mean I'm addicted ?? ;)

    Funny I was just thinking before I found your post that if I could just stay on MFP all day long, I would lose the weight because it is such great motivation for not eating.:flowerforyou:

    Yes - totally obsessed. I've been sitting here for an hour about to go for a walk but scrolling through more and more community pages. But i'm getting up and going for that walk right now. Really. Right now.

    :laugh: Are you still here or have you really gone for that walk lol???

    Finally! I did the walk! And about twice as far as i intended. And note, the minute i'm back from my walk, i'm back on MFP!

    All I do between anything in my day is log onto MFP and check the message boards or log my food! I love logging my food it makes me feel so good to see that I can meet a goal daily and that at the end of the week, I have met another goal!!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the support here where on FB its like.. no one supports you and if you even mention your losing weight they just judge you for how big you already were.. not supporting you for changing your life..

    Yes... MFP is so totally my fav website and place to be!! :love:

    If I didn't know I was not cyberskirt, I would think I wrote that post myself. I agree 100%. I have MFP open at work all day and run to my laptop when I get home. I like planning my entire day's food intake early in the morning and making adjustments along the way. It helps me to make better choices and when I make some "not so good choiceas", I can at least keep track of them and somehow find a way to fit them in. So the long answer to a short question...I AM OBSESSED!!

    You bet I'm consumed! I may not be a poster right now, but I've been lurking around and reading for a LONG time now. Especially since I hit a huge plateau and changed my calorie range. I love the support that is available here! I'm totally going to get in trouble at work one day. LOL
