Hi, I was doing WW Points Plus for awhile. It was a little expensive for the amount of weight I was losing, I even gained the second time I joined. So I googled tools for WW PP and did it on my own. I lost 20 lbs. I have been stuck for a long time, and
thought maybe MFP would help. I was on 22 WW points. I figured that at about 1100 cals. WW doesn't count fruits and veggies though, so I could eat a huge salad and just count the dressing pts/cals. Is there a happy medium somewhere here? I like the idea of no pts for veggies and fruit (except high carb ones).
Thanks for any help

I did the WW PP system before coming here. If you put all of your goals into the MFP system then it will give you a caloire goal to eat to. You can adjust it so you can lose a half a pound to two pounds.
I really got pissed off at the WWPP system because fruit and vegetables are not calorie free. This allowed for a lot of "cheating". I personally feel that if it goes into your mouth you need to count it.0 -

Oh veggies and fruit have calories. A banana has 100 and an Advocado over 300 so I really wouldn't ignore those.0 -

Thank you, you all helped me decide to stick with MFP. It has everything for me already, I just had to put in my goals etc. It will also help me in the long run to maintain. I would hate to have to figure out points the rest of my life, lol. Thanks guys!0
