    I like WW for the meetings and accountability, but their program doesn't do anything for me. I feel some loyalty to them based on old success (got to my goal weight and stayed there for years before a big life change). I use MFP for tracking.

    Maybe a mix of the two would work for you? It is a little weird going to the meetings and never fully admitting that I don't count points, but points always seemed gimmicky to me and I'd much rather see the real numbers of my calories and macros.

    I am a WW lifetime member, I made lifetime years ago when we had to check the boxes for protein, carbs etc. Due to a back injury and being unable to exercise I gained 10lbs so thought I would give WW another try. I have been on freestyle for 2 months now and I really don't like it. On connect they all talk about "fake" foods and artificial sweeteners that are low in points. I want to eat real healthy food not some concoction that I can't pronounce! I can't have a banana in my smoothie or it's more points, avocado is 3 points for a quarter of it but frankenfood is less. I can't wrap my brain around this. I'm back to MFP and real food!
