    Hi!
    I once called myself the WW poster child because I kept on hanging on. Stopping and starting. It is a great program, and
    this one is similar and much, much easier to navigate. I lost my first 100# on WW. Now the loss is 162. I've lost
    5 and I'm just starting my 3rd week. Keep a close eye on the food diary, drink the water, and try to get in as much
    activity as you can. The people here are so nice and they post great recipes and helpful words of advice.
    Good Luck!

    I missed the daily menus on WW too. I seem to do much better with a food plan because if left on my own I tend to stray...

    Love MFP!! You will do well. You can get the online encouragement, and it basically is the same thing as far as tracking! I'm looking for some friends! I will send you a request! :smile:

    I did WW online after the birth of my first child and lost 25 lbs. I continued with WW and then got pregnant with my second child, so I stopped until she was born, but when I went back I just was not losing like I did the first time. About a year ago I finally canceled my WW online to save money, but I missed tracking. A friend told me about MFP and I really like it. I like that you can track carbs, protein and fiber along with calories. I don't think I will ever pay for WW services again.

    I did WW off and on for many years. I stopped because they kept changing programs. They constantly changed and for me...it was hard to stay faithful to something that wasn't faithful to me. My last straw was the "free foods." I was also suggested to follow programs past (when I had questions about past programs MULTIPLE leaders said they didn't know or used current programs as a reference.) MFP was and is better for me. I can count other macros and its free. I've considered doing both...but I'd rather save my money.

    WW works for a lot of people and still considered the "top diet."

    I have yo-yo'd but always went back to WW, last time I lost 42lbs and managed to keep it off for over 2 years but in the last 6 months have gained 8lbs. I went back to WW meetings but like you I would lose 1 then gain 1. I couldn't seem to get on with the new ProPoints so I decided to stop and join MFP, I been here for 2 weeks and have lost 5lb, my weigh in day is Thursday so hope to have lost some more this week. I know its gonna be slow but I will be very happy if I lose 15lbs in total. I always liked logging my foods when doing WW, I find it keeps me on track to weigh foods and log them, makes me more aware of what I'm eating, MFP on my phone is brilliant cos I can log wherever I am .

    I do did WW and still use it. Recently joined this site and finding it great so trying a mixture of everything. What is interesting I find is how you can be within your daily point allowance but over on calories. A mixture works for me ...slow and steady weight loss:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
