Hi there, I just joined MFP again and I'm look for people to share my weight loss journey with :) I had another account on here before that I used on and off around a time where I developed an eating disorder. When I logged back on, many of my friends had either disappeared or had those same unhealthy habits. I decided to just start a new account so I can start fresh. I'm on Weight Watchers as well, but I just like keeping track of my calories and WW doesn't base things off of calories.

Feel free to add me if you log consistently and want to share your weight loss with other people! :)

    I did WW years ago but stopped when Fruits became free... because they are not free :) I think WW went from a good tool to something more about keeping members paying dues. Calories, Fat, Carbs, Protein... they don't lie.

    I see what you're saying! Fruits being free does bother me some, and that's part of the reason why I decided to start tracking everything here so I can see exactly how many calories, carbs, etc. I am putting in my body. But I've had success with WW so far- I lost 17 pounds in about 5 weeks :)

    The biggest thing that helped me was dancing. My wife and I started ballroom dancing and the weight fell off. We were dancing three nights a week, for about 6 to 8 hours (total) a week. We have two kids now, so going out like that is really not possible.
