in Health and Weight Loss
Just for giggles I signed up for WW 7-Day Free Trial. I noticed that they don't go on calories, when you add a food to their database it asks for Fat, Carbs, Protein and Fiber. Yesterday when I logged my food on MFP and WW the difference was ridiculous! By the end of the day on MFP I was within my daily goal but on WW I had gone over my points. This just leads me to worry, am I actually eating too much? The past few weeks I haven't been on my best behavior but by no means going overboard and this week I gained 1.6lbs. So maybe I am in panic mode because I've lost 25lbs so far using MFP but now that it's getting down to the last 10 that I would like to use it's getting hard!

Has anyone else tried WW?

    I've done it before! I had great sucess and lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks. I ate 18 points a day and worked out for a half hour each day

    I do WW in addition to Mfp to see the difference and what I love about WW is it encourages good food like fruit and veggies.

    I tried weight watchers for a while about a year ago. I found it very difficult to lose weight because it felt hungry ALL the time - which is probably why you went over your points. The pounds/week weight loss goal might be higher for WW.

    I just switched from WW points plus to MFP and I have felt better and lost 2 pounds on my first week of MFP. WW is really great but i think the new points plus system is not their best. I would get 29 points a day and on the new points plus a 110 calorie yogurt was 4 points! I was always over on points and getting very discouraged. I'm sticking with MFP.

    It has been many years since I've done WW, so it was before they went to the Point system. I lost quite a few pounds using WW, but as soon as I quit, the pounds came back on very quickly. I think that MFP has "opened" my eyes to how my food intake really affects my weight.

    I think that most programs out there are very good...and all WORK...however, it's up to the individual to be honest, record properly and STICK to a plan. I Love MFP and I too have tried WW. I lost 40 pounds through WW and found it very easy. I like MFP because it's FREE!!! WW can be very expensive. Just my two cents (=
