    I use both Facebook and MFP. I must admit the last two weeks I have spent more time on here then I have on fb.
    I am sick of the attention seeking, *****ness, cryptic status messages. I find the people on here are usually working towards the same goal and its about real feelings and thoughts not just so they can get compliments etc.

    I dont think I have made a friend on here yet that I have regretted (although its early days)

    I totally love MFP and invite you all to add me if you like :)

    This is much more useful than Facebook. At least killing time here is helping others, motivating, learning and on occasion just having fun. FB is pretty much just a fabulous waste of time. Having said that, I do love Facebook lol

    Oh this site wins hands down. When I post on Facebook anything health related, meh, no one cares. Here, you get a wtg!! Or something motivational like that. Love the support!

    I check in on fb but real quick. I am on MFP all the time. I guess I feel we all have a common goal. I think we still get a bit of the drama on the boards here but mostly just people trying7 to discuss a point of view. I feel this site is motivating and helpful to my current goal.

    I don't even have a FB. It's silly to me and serves no purpose. All my family and friends know how to get ahold of me and likewise! MFP has a purpose and most of us are on here for similar reasons. I have met a few women on here that I have wonderful friendships with and ADORE! I am definitely addicted to this site!!!

    As much as I love the false sense of connectedness FB provides....I'm sorry but nobody has 514 friends. FB is complete BS and just an outlet for all of us to unleash our inner stalker (see tagging at a location function) or to try to make other people jealouse of whats "going on" in our lives (If I see one more photo of an infant I may projectile vomit). At least MFP friends and strangers alike connect with a unified purpose - health, weightloss, etc. at least MFP serves a practical purpose... I can't say FB ever helped me lose a pound... I think it perpetuated weight gain more than anything - I maintain there needs to be a statute of limitations on photos I'm sorry but if you dont look like that now take it down

    Another odd observation: I noticed last night at the fireworks show a ton of people were too busy trying to take photos of themselves and upload them to FB rather than watching what was actually going on... whats up with that?

    Hardly anyone posts actual words on FB anymore. Every f'n friend that likes a picture (or several) muck up my feed with a green square that says something like "teenager post #387432, "if you have me hold your drink, i will drink it."

    WTF is that??

    Also, I really only use facebook to keep in touch with my friends and family that live across the country. And b!tch about dumb stuff.

    MFP I use every day, a few times a day. I mainly keep in touch with my sister on FB.
