Has anyone tried weight watchers with MFP? Thoughts?

I decided to do weight watchers before I found MFP. Today for example I met my WW points but came in under the 1200 calories MFP recommends. Will that discrepancy sabotage my weight loss goals? Also thought of following weight watchers but try to meet that 1200 calorie goal. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Sorry if this confusing! Also I am looking for MFP friends to help me stay on track and motivated! :)

    Did you log your fruit and veg on MFP even though they're free on WW? If not then this may make up for the calorie difference.

    Yes I added the fruits and veggies. I don't need my metabolism to slow down; so adding everything up on here was a shock!

    How many points do you get? What did you spend them on? You may need more calorie dense foods.

    I get 26 points. The food is listed on Sundays food diary.

    I personally, don’t really care for the new program. I’ve tried it a few times and I always gain. The only program (before they gave those extra points) worked fine for me and I lost 100 pounds with it. But that is just me.

    I love WW and only recently canceled my online membership just because of the cost, and decided to try MFP instead. So far, it seems to be a wash. That is, I'm eating about the same for 1200 calories as I was for 29 points, even with including fruits & veggies in my MFP tracker.
