    I have just cancelled my membership and come back to mfp. I was constantly going over points and craving sweet food! With mfp I don't feel so restricted.

    Lots of WW members are now MFP members. Do a search in the forums and you'll see many threads.

    Due to the WW belief in "free foods" and MFP being a calories in calories out CICO mentality, the two are vastly different.

    I have used the online WW. I learned a few things about myself and my food consumption. The majority of my calories come from the foods on the free list. I would track on WW and then at night post my foods on MFP. Most days I was under eating and had to add something to bring my calories up. So I think for some WW might work as long as you don't start stuffing the "free" foods in your mouth with no control and/or not allowing yourself to eat foods that use up points.

    One of the things that I am trying now (to see if I have learned portion control) is that I don't log my food until after dinner. I just want to see if I have learned to eat what is appropriate for me. If I have calories left then I can have a dessert.
