    pros and cons

    facebook:
    pros: you can post pics easier and when commenting it notifies you
    cons: can't access it at work

    mfp:
    pros: i can access it at work and its supportive
    cons: doesnt notify me when i get updates on status's and posts.

    i like both though.

    FB = people you know in real life who have millions of different goals & interests.
    MFP = people you don't know in real life with common goals & interests.


    People tend to hang tighter with those who have same common goals and interests.

    I love MFP. I socialise so much more on here than on Facebook... :)

    I use facebook to show family and friends pictures. I don't talk about my day or express my thoughts every hour or even upload pictures of a child to where you can make a flip book. Nor do I check in to places so people can come stalk me.

    I use MFP for healthy food, track my calories and exercise, and to gain and give some support for whoever may need it. ;)

    Two different worlds for me.

    I like MFP better for the reasons Mercenary1914 states above, but I DON'T like when it gets too randomly off topic - or when I add a friend who I don't know in real life and I find out they use MFP like Twitter and fill up 8 out of 10 posts in my news feed posting statuses about every random thing in their social life. I just end up deleting them a few days later...

    I feel the same way...Thought it was only Me. Seems that I have MORE in common here. And for some reason, I do NOT trust Facebook, they want to know too much personal info, NOR do I trust the Creator of Facebook, I don't see him as honorable, I think he'd sell anything for a buck.

    True

    I have begun to spend less and less time on FB and more and more time on MFP. Of course it helps that MFP isn't blocked at work...at least not yet...

    I have both and love MFP more.. mainly because it keeps me focused more on fitness than fb ever could lol. Love the friends I have here and they actually show interest in what I'm doing to make my life better and healthier.. fb they prob don't care what I do lol.

    I am not a fan of FB - Status update - just eating my toast.

    MFP - I still hear about the toast BUT in the proper context(diary) & they have moved from the sofa & exercised :)

    I like that you can "like" posts and comment on pictures with facebook. I like that I can talk about weight loss stuff here. I wish MFP was set up a bit more like sparkpeople. But I feel like people on sparkpeople don't interact the same way and are not as supportive as MFP.

    I deactivated my FB 5 months ago. I don't miss it either, it got boring real quick and I was tired of the constant changes, plus there was so much pointless drama. I actually like my friends on MFP way more than the ones I had on FB. Although it would be kinda cool to go back to it, having lost all the weight I wanted and to have everyone (who are active on there) go, "Omg, look at you!"

    I stopped using FB about a year ago. IMO, MFP is for weight loss.. so usually any non-weight loss posts are generally hidden or deleted from my feed. However, usually people who are in a weight loss regimen are apt to posting only about weight loss... so I'm going to say MFP, but I think we're all a little biased here. :smokin:

    mfp! yes, there's drama on here, but not as much as there is on fbook! and i just can't stand fbook in general anymore.

    Yeah, Facebook doesn't allow me to eat back my exercise calories! :laugh:

    Honestly, I can't compare the two on any level. Facebook is where all of my real life friends are. The MFP forum is where I meet other people who are also struggling with weight loss and request and offer help.

    Both are effective at accomplishing the goals they set out to accomplish.

    I love MFP, but I do wish they would implement a notification system for posts and replies. I feel like some of the people here are friendlier than the people on my friends list on facebook. Facebook is pretty boring; bad rap lyrics as statuses, annoying drama related relationship changes, etc.

    I spend way way more time on MFP because there is so much more to see and do.

    Drama? On Facebook?

    I obviously need to acquire some more interesting friends. :happy:

    This is so much better for weight loss! You get to find new people facing the same struggles and it's so annoying reading people's fb pages when all they talk about is fitness ( especially if you are one of the people who aren't running or exercising)
