    just in response to all the people who tried weight watchers with no long term success....is this not the same basic premise (counting calories vs counting points) wrapped up in a nice little facebooky package?

    Nope. Not to my mind. I am actually doing both WW and MFP together for 3 months to see which I like better. I have been on WW many times before with little success.

    On MFP I feel like I am learning a lot more because when I log my food I see the breakdown of calories, fats, fibres, protein, sodium, etc. It is no longer just a point value.

    Also, MFP has a much more active community and quite a few knowledgeable people who are willing to share their knowledge. It's only been a couple of weeks but I am quite sure that I will be dropping WW and staying with MFP.

    And there you have my 2cents for what's it worth! I love MFP.
