Hello,
I too just re-joined WW even though I said I would never join it again. I have been with MFP and have been going up and down for almost 4 years. In 2010 I joined WW and used points and was more consistent too but stopped because I did not like the WW community like I liked MFP community. So I tracked on WW and came here for support. I liked the WW program and the face to face accountability and weigh in.
So this time around I am going to track on MFP using 40 calories for each point I get. I like the WW apps too. So I give myself 1960 allowance points which equals 49 allowance points and I don't count my calories for the veggies and fruits that are zero points. My 1st week I lost 2.4 pounds with a bad weekend in eating but so far I am still losing weight and looking for a good 2nd week. At this point any lose is a good lose. My goal it just to lose something every week or even maintain. I know one week is coming where I will gain but if I can help they will few and not the constant rollercoaster I have been on.
I feel I can't lose with the support here and WW face to face support and plus I am doing it with co-workers too!! A win win. I feel MFP data base for foods wins hands down compared to WW. The last time I was on WW I kept coming to MFP to figure out my points. If I stop losing weight with this formula than I will track with WW but until then I am going to use MFP.
