    I have tried WW a few times before. I've always done well on it but then gain back when I stop following the program of course. I was planning to join again when I found out about MFP. In my opinion, it basically comes down to the same thing - eating healthy. I find MFP easier since you don't have to figure out points. I've done well so far so for now I plan to stick with MFP instead of WW. I don't see any reason to spend the money on WW when MFP is such a terrific resource with tons of support. I don't have the time to attend the meetings anyway.

    I still do the old Flex Points program with great success this time around. I use MFP to log food and exercise and to keep track of things like protein, fat, fiber and sodium. I'd say give it a try for 30 days and see if you like it. I know when I went to meetings, it made me feel accountable. Now, I am more in charge of my life and can be accountable to myself without "falling off the wagon" so to speak.

    its interesting to note that quite a few people dont like the new points plus system.... i only did the old points which was good for me, but makes me realise now i may be doing the rite thing by being on hear and calorie counting... im enjoying it to, and very focused ....... so far!

    I've done WW online twice and the meetings once. I live in a small town and the leader at the meeting was horrible and there wasn't another option. I didn't do well.

    I felt like the points were difficult to calculate - esp. with new PP+ system - you have to have a calculator or phone app (which isn't free - you have to subscribe online)

    I also think WW focuses a lot on low-fat which just doesn't work for me. I need some fat to feel satiated.

    I did like the WW online check off boxes where you check off your dairy and Fruit and veggies servings. Kept me mindful of that.
