    I've done WW and lost weight. It did help me look at food differently. It's a great program. But, honestly, it all depends on how you look at food!!! On WW it was so easy to tell yourself "Oh, I can have that piece of cake and it's only __ points" and not think of the calories or fat. Because, honestly, 14 points sounds a heck of a whole lot better that 350 calories!!! :happy: With MFP, it forces you to know the calories... I was coming to MFP while I did WW just to get nutrition facts on foods that I ate while doing WW. I had to stop WW for financial reasons and decided to continue with MFP and am sticking with it. I've lost over 60 lbs since the first of the year and am at the lowest weight I've been in over 15 years!!! Now that is what I call progress... :smile:

    You have lost 60lbs since the beginning of the year?! That's so amazing!!! I must add you as a friend!!!

    I'm actually on the opposite end, I love MFP but i also love WW, I joined WW in april and have lost 22 lbs since then. I still count cals on here just to see the difference and bc i like this website/community, BUT i feel like WW helps you realize what you're actually eating better, some one said in a early post something about having cake and being like "oh i can have it bc its only 14 points" but on here you see its 350 cals and then youre like oh wait no i dont want it now bc thats too many, For me I would be more likely to use 350 cals than 14 pts lol like today I had to have a quick lunch so i had a mcchicken its only 360 cals, but its 11 points to me 350 isnt too bad, but 11 points is....and to me the fruit being 0, i think thats awesome, and i dont think any ones gained weight or hasn't lost because they ate too many bananas lol My insurance gives 200 dollars back from whatever i pay for weight watchers so the moneys not a big deal for me, but i really do enjoy it and it has made me look at food different and its done me some good. :)

    I lost all my weight on the momentum plan. I was maintaining when the PP plan came out. I did go back as a lifetime member to learn the new plan. I followed it for a while but gained weight. So I stopped and came back to MFP. I understand that WW has modified it some, so it may work better than the original PP plan.

    Hi! Feel free to add me if you'd like. I did WW for about a yr and a half and lost weight; it also got me into exercise. When I stopped tracking my points because they changed the program, I gained some weight back. I continued to exercise but ate what I want when I wanted. Then I found this website and I'm hooked!! Can't beat the price and so many people with such good info and support to share. Loving it! Good luck! :)
