Back to MFP - Leaving Weight Watchers

I used MFP a couple years ago and then tried Weight Watchers. I've been doing great on WW but found out because I'm on their digital program I'll never reach their lifetime status (which would mean I could use their program for free due to meeting my goal), so rather than committing to fees the rest of my life, I'm planning to dual log on WW and MPF to figure out the averages I've been eating... in hopes to let WW go and move forward with MFP. Any prior WW users? What have you learned in your transition?

    Welcome to MFP!

    There's plenty of bugs and glitches, but overall it's a great tool. The food database can be a little frustrating at first, but be patient and find good matches and double check what they say. Some are way wrong! Once you enter them, if you use them frequently they'll keep showing up for you.

    Lifetime status on MFP gets it free, and it only takes thirty seconds. You're there!

    Thank you! I'm excited to give it another shot. It definitely beats paying for the app if the free version meets my needs.

    I am currently on a free trial of the Premium version. The BEST part is no advertisements. I'm not sure if I will continue to pay for it when my trial is over, but I might. Just for that. There's some other tools that are neat, but I would probably NOT pay just for them. But I will continue to use them if I have access.

    Success awaits!
