Weight watchers v Fitness Pal

I did WW after baby 1 & 2, but after the twins I didn't have a lot of money to spend on WW. MFP is free and works just as well

No offense, nut isn't this like walking into a Honda dealership and asking what they think the good points of a Toyota are? Just seems odd to me to ask people on the map site if they think WW or MFP is better.

WW actually worked for me several years ago - I loss 22 lbs and was very happy with the program. I went back to them recently, but decided that the cost wasn't worth it. I felt MFP was a better choice for me. But they are quite similar. I think ultimately it's the format that works best for you. Many people have been and still are quite successful with WW.

I personally like WW. I lost 30 lbs! I love their app for tracking. In my opinion, its easier to use than MFP. And the meetings really help with accountability. Plus you have a leader that has lost weight on WW and can give you a lot of good advice... Downside is the price! I just couldn't afford it anymore so I switched to MFP. I've only been using MFP for 3 weeks but I have had pretty good success so far. The key to weight loss for me is tracking... Both programs seem to work, but I miss the WWs meetings...

There is no way that the calories worked out to 1800 a day. I've don't that level of restriction here and not had losses, but steadily lost on WW... So I am going to guess its less than 1500.

I did it, but in the end, it's expensive. This is free. I am still losing weight, and YES! MFP is way more tedious and makes me feel a little bit neurotic. But whatever needs to happen, you know? I quit last month when they changed the program. I was already eating a variety of foods and rarely purchased their premade crap. I was angry about the difference between the two points programs suddenly increasing the "cost" of everything. The amounts that I was eating before (and losing a pound a week on) were no longer available, and I was HUNGRY. Not worth the money I was spending, so I quit.

I have done both. I like MFP better because I like to watch my sodium intake along with proteins carbs and fats.

Their new program is very restrictive and very low calorie. I would stick with straight forward MFP.
