Question VFers on Facebook

I just searched videofitness.com on Facebook and found "VFers on Facebook". I requested to become a group member but there are only 232 members. Is this really a page affiliated with this website? I was excited, thinking I could read stuff on the FB app on my phone. Now I'm not sure if it's legit. Anyone ?

It is. I don't know how active it is, though.

Is it affiliated with VF and created by VF or a separate group formed by members?

I agree bzar. I wasn't looking to "friend" people specifically, just was wondering what the group thing was and if it was really affiliated with this site.

Yes, a VFer set it up but I don't remember who. I think I originally joined, but then cancelled for some reason.

KathAL79 set it up originally, but it had very little activity, and I think it ended up being archived. The last activity was in May.

There's a newer Facebook group for VFers who want to discuss diet. I didn't join - I like to limit my time on FB - but it may be more active than the previous group.

Yeah; I joined the group a while ago then unjoined after someone asked to friend me. That was a bit of a jolt, and like you, I decided I didn't want forums and FB to intersect.

"Beautiful Losers" is the FB group started by some VFers.
I was a member for a while, but 'unjoined' (not that interested in 'weight loss' discussion, and had other 'friends' to keep up with).
