Anyone using WW online?

I've been a Fitbit user since last December and I'm not a big fan of its food tracking. I like WW online but can't find a way to link the two so I'm going to give MFP a shot here since it does link. Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, experiences. I'm open. Big year 2015 with my first born betting married in late October so I have a target date

I have used WW but not the online version. MFP works really well with fitbit. Use the fit bit to log your exercise then use MFP to log your food (don't log any food on the fitbit site). The two should sync so you can see how many exercise calories you have earned. If you want to log a particular exercise on MFP make sure you include the start and finish times (so it ignores the fitbit steps for that time period). Good luck with your healthy eating.

Thank you. I was thinking that is the way I might have to proceed

It's so funny, I just woke up thinking about some of the same, then I see your post. I use WW online. I'm down a little over 100 lbs over the last year. I have not been real committed however to WW. I have bee doing part time their online version and MFP along with a work sponsored diet that was basically low cal/low carb. The work diet ended a month ago and I've been trying to decide which to commit to 100% to - WW or MFP. I think both are very good but I do think MFP is a little easier to use and their food database seems better. I still have 80 lbs to lose and WILL NOT gain back the 100 lbs. for exercise I do a lot of walking and started some running. I use runkeeper and it syncs with MFP. It works very well for me. With WW it seems very limited on being able to sync a lot of the exercise type devices and to me I find that frustrating. The runkeeper provides a lot of info to me. On WW you can manually enter all your activity info though. This is all just my experience and opinion. I think it's very important to find what will work for you and commit to it completely. Hope this is helpful. Any other questions I'd be glad to help. Best wishes!

You are an inspiration. Down 100 pounds. That is very impressive. Good for you and there's no doubt you will achieve your next goal. I agree with you completely that it's so important to pick something and commit to it 100%, totally, and to work through the minor set backs as no doubt there wil be a few. It's probably going to to take me a week or two to get used to MFP for food tracking but so far (ok for today - my first full day) I do find the database quite extensive. I have the big goal set, 58.4 pounds and would like to make that by September 1 or sooner. And for the short term I'm targeting the 240s In January, 230s in Feb / March, 220s in April. And then I suspect it will get a lot harder to drop the last 20 pounds or so. I'm planning 3 to 4 Tread Climber 25 to 30 minute workouts per week and 3 weight training sessions or 45 minutes each.
