Trying My Fitness Pal

I lost 25 pounds on Weight Watchers but program is too expensive. I’ve used My fitness pal briefly before. Going to try out the free version for now. Need to lose at least another 25+ pounds. Any words of advice for this over 50 gal is greatly appreciated.

Welcome back! Definitely take your time easing in, and give it some time before deciding whether it's working for you! I also came over from Weight Watchers…I did well on the program but found that sometimes high point values of food I really needed to eat given that I have a gluten allergy made me become far more restrictive than is healthy.

Track every bite, lick, sip and taste.
Use a scale, measuring cup or spoon.
Drink water.
Strength train if you can.
Be honest with yourself and MFP.
Track your weight the same time everyday.
Establish a motivational goal.

I am 63 years old and have lost over 70 pounds since October using MFP premium. I believe it is worth every penny. It has saved my life.

There is a free version of MFP (ad-supported), or we can pay for two different levels that have more features. Premium is one of them, premium+ is the other. If you're paying to use MFP, you have at least premium.
