    Facebook is full of duck faced lips, drama, pointless updates and people you dislike. Myfitnesspal is full of supportive and kind people!

    I have never been on facebook, I hear too many crazy stories about it. It doesn't seem to serve much
    of a purpose other than socializing whereas MFP is a weight loss tool that can be used to socialize with people
    that you have something in common with. I love this site and find it to be very helpful with meeting my goals.

    As MDianne... Though, I only go on Facebook, cause that is the only way I can learn what is happening with family... no one calls any more :(

    That's why I joined FB. If I want to know what's happening with extended family -- weddings, babies, etc, that's where I have to go.

    Seems like FB might eventually go the way of Myspace, but who knows?

    I feel the same way. No drama only positive here with a focus on healthy.

    I agree, this is more healthier. I peek every so often at facebook. I sent out some invites to some FB fam/friends so far no one as has accepted. The only thing i have to say to them when the pounds start to drop is " Don't hate me cuz you ain't me".

    That is so sad and another reason I dislike Facebook nor do I use it.

    I have been on FB for years and love it: I have made some wonderful friends all over the world.Plus I also keep up with all the family happenings. FB is more a social site.

    I think MFP is wonderful, gives great weight advice and incentives on weight loss and being healthy, a life style change
    ... I just don't connect the two sites at all.

    Don't get me wrong, I would love to meet new friends on here as well, so please hit me up :)

    Cheers from Oz

    this is way better than Fb ;) everytime i talk about fitness/healthy life style on fb people are just being negative. and i dont want to be discourage by people who are in denial about their health and weight. i dont get any support from my friends on fb, id rather be here on mfp than fb.

    i've said this numerous times. when i go online this is my homepage. there is always something being discussed and you see many people's opinions on it good/bad.
    absolutely love it. i just started on facebook a few months ago and i really don't see the point of it.
    oh well, to each his own

    I :heart: this site. However it would be better if it had the games that facebook has. the only reason I get on fb nowadays and that is to play Castleville.

    Oh I couldn't disagree more!! The second MFP gets games like that is the day I deactivate.

    Yes I love it, only wish we got notifications!!!

    I love how genuine and supportive everyone on here is. Even my closest friends I have on facebook do not measure up!

    haha that is completely OK. It's not like you would have to play the games anyway. But it would be nice to have something else to do other than reading topics.

    ^^ THIS. Also having new comments just pop up like on YT and FB without having to constantly refresh the page.

    Edit: My reply button isn't working wtf.

    Lol, how is texting someone better then facebook messaging them? I don't really get any of it. I have never had a Facebook, and when I want to speak to someone, I call them :). I love mfp, though I don't really see how it is similar to Facebook in that you generally don't know your mfp friends? At least I don't!
