    Have you thought about the online? It's much cheaper; I think it's about $20 a month and they often have deals to sign up.

    Crazy thought here; use MFP the way it is designed to be used. Guess what, you'll lose weight.

    Why do you need Weight Watchers? MFP is free and has all the tools and support you need. As long as you track your food and make good decisions, you will lose weight. Good luck!

    Use the support on MFP for free, I am sure there is a group with your particular goals. Weight Watchers is overpriced, MFP is free.

    MFP is better than weight watchers! You have access to data on thousands of foods, not just ones you can find points on. This works!!! (and it's free, as mentioned above.).

    MFP has helped some, but I like the idea of the point system vs having to find a computer to look up whether I can eat something or not bc I don't have internet on my phone to check all the time.. I've heard of so many people having such great long term success with weight watchers!!!

    MFP is WAY better than WW (online). You have manually enter most all your food. I've tried WW numerous times, and always came back to MFP.

    I found MFP as a bet to my wife that i could lose weight for free instead of paying WW membership so she signed up for WW and i downloaded MFP for free and i have lost more weight... BOOM!.

    Ive done weight watchers. Its not much more than eating healthier choices and keeping track of points. The problem I had with it was that it was alot more work and effort to calculate the points (you can get a points calculator as an app on the iphone or droid..for free). It is so much easier to track calories, food intake, exercise and water on MFP. I've lost way more with MFP than I ever did at WW! Good luck with whichever you choose!

    Don't you still have to enter something with WW? And you wouldn't you still have to look up the points on something that isn't a WW product with the points labeled on it?

    My GF and I did W.W. for about 6 months and lost the first 3 months. After that no to well. They have gotten to comercialized for us and counting points was a real pain. This site is so much better. It really lets you see what you are eating not just points. Fruits can be eaten for 0 points but my GF was having issues due to the sugar. MFP shows you all the info you need and much better support that we ever had at a meeting. Plus we are saving 40.00 each a month.

    I can't do apps or anything on my phone:( It seems like it'd be a lot easier to keep track if I could! lol

    Why? What do you think you'll get from Weight Watchers that you can't get free here or elsewhere? Just asking, because that seems important, and I can easily afford it (it is less than $50/month) but wouldn't consider it.
