I'm on here more than Facebook

Love the phone app, as it gives the news feed, shame we cant get forums on the phone too. My evenings are now spent reading the success stories and look at the photos instead of FB and eating crap.

I haven't been on FB in months....MFP is much more interesting!! :happy:

I just found this site June 28th, and I like this way better than facebook. As far as getting up for exercise, just do it, it is worth it in the long run. I can sleep when I am dead, right now I have weight to lose and there is no time better than the present.

Right there with ya'~ I feel I have real friends here that support my journey- not trying to talk me out of it!!

Same screw fb, I've tried to recrute some of my friends but hey never log in. As soon as you say eat healthy everyone runs for the hills.

I MFP
FB :grumble:

I was just thinking this! I actually suspended my facebook because I was getting sick of negativity and "woe is me"s I've done really well this week and I hope it keeps up!

Feel free to add me!

I havent suspended mine because i have very close friends i cant call all the time, but i agree.. im on here more because of all the negativity there. I have actually had people tell me that i would fail..... thats okay.. when im rockin the bikini.. they will still be fat! LOL!

I use FB and MFP in very different ways.

My FB is full of people I know IRL, family, friends, acquaintances, people I know from running club, people from the dog rescue where I volunteer, old University friends etc etc, e.g. people who actually know me as a person. I've never been one to accept "friend" requests from random strangers on FB just to "up" the numbers.

MFP is a random collection of strangers with whom I share only one aspect of my life. The frequent communicators on my wall feed, yes you get to know those a little better, but they still don't "know" me.

For me they're quite different worlds.

This really explains why I use both, a lot of my "real life" friends don't live in the same state any more so it is a quick and easy way to keep in touch...I also use FB to connect with people in the music business (I photograph bands/concerts etc).

I don't have a lot of drama on my FB page...if I don't want to see what somebody's posting about, it's very easy to "hide" their postings.

I love MFP but the drama in the forums gets old...I find myself having to step away from the computer for a while to get my positivity back!

FAKE-BOOK is terrible and depressing

Facebook is a dying fad... I am logged in on MFP almost all every, every day now.

facebook... what's that?

I am definitely on here more but I was getting tired of my FB page anyway. It's more interesting here, I get tips about my weightloss, I can actually be open and honest about my weightloss, etc. etc. No one on my FB page even knows I am losing weight.

I'm on here more than Facebook too. I think it's because I get to learn new things here and that's always fun!

Feel free to add :-)

Facebook is starting to not interest me anymore. I'm on this site more than that one for sure!

exactly this, i rarely get on or post anything there anymore

I am addicted to this website. I have never had a drive to want to lose weight/eat healthy//be healthy until I started two weeks ago. I have an iPhone and I'm on here after every meal logging my food. I love the support from people on here. It's more than I get from friends. I am still pretty new and looking for more people to add who have a drive to succeed. So far I'm good on staying with my calorie limit. But excersizing i haven't stuck with yet. I just need to tell myself to just get up at 5:00 no excuses!!

I can relate so precisely with you!! I have been tracking calories for 2 weeks, but only on MFP since Monday. I used to be so bad about facebook I would get annoyed with myself for checking it so frequently. I am definitely addicted to MFP already!

I feel like I get so much more support here too, from people I have never met in my life and probably never will meet, than I do from my own sister whom I talk to multiple times a day.

About getting up at 5:00 - I was like you three days ago. I asked my husband to wake me up at 5:30 when he leaves for work. I surprised myself and actually got out of bed!! I ended up purchasing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred for only $4.00 and streamed it instantly. Therefore I had something new and exciting to work out to, and I had a great reason to wake up today early and work out again that early.

Saturday might be a different story! :laugh:

feel free to add me too. actually your post sounds like I wrote it, I'm in a similar place at the moment and really want to succeed in becoming healthier and more active.
keep it up!

me too.my friend told me about mfp. she warned me how addictive this place was. I am finishing glasses of water just so I can tick the water box lol. I always use to log onto FB first thing I got to work but now it's this. I'm getting so much support and can't remember the last time I felt this motivated. Feel free to add me!!!
