hey! ive done both weight watchers and slimming world!!

this feels much more natural to me ive been here around 5 weeks and am loving it!

ive only had one bad week (i stayed the same) and am now back on top and ready to reach the goals i didnt reach on Weight Watchers

i dont have to convert anything into points or syns or whip out a calculator or folder evertime i want to eat something

there are so many different kinds of people and all kinds of help on here. its nice to find what works best for you and nothing is band or a dangerous food!

if you wanna spend all your daily allowance on fish fingers you can!!

welcome to mfp! feel free to friend me im a very active member! xxxx good luck all

Hi everyone
I have been here 4 weeks and have lost 1/2 a stone and hoping to lose 2 more. I find this so much better than WW as that damn food tracker never had the right stuff in it whereas this one has never not had what I want.
Good luck to you all and do add me if you want to. Kate

Hi,
Glad I have found a British Group! I have tried them all, Weight Watchers, Slimming World and most recently Rosemary Conley. I just find when I join a club I just dont stick to it, perhaps I dont like being told what to do? so today is my fresh start on my own and MFP! have lost 7lb since beginning of the year but have another 3 stone to shift! aiming for a stone by next Bank Holiday 2nd June.

I am 55 years old with 3 children - all left home sad to say, work full time as a medical secretary (so I know how bad it is for my helath to be overweight which you would think would spur me on!) .

Please feel free to add me as a friend?

I think this website is great, its free and you can log in any time of day or night. Wish me luck!

Hi,

Please feel free to add me. I havent done the slimming world or weight watchers, I prefer MFP is shows you what your doing and were you are going wrong.

I am just loving this site, really easy to use and very motivating. Finally I have got into my head that if I exercise more I can eat more. Weight Watchers is great if you follow it but over the last year I too have been playing with the same few pounds on one week, off the next.
I needed a change and this seems to fit the bill.

I find with this site you can eat whatever you fancy really so long as you keep within your calorie allowance, glad I found he UK groups!

Hi,
I too have tried WW. it worked for me but I inly did online and then put all the weight and then some back on.
Lost 2 stone this year so far and have just found this site so hopefully it will push me on.
Good luck

Hi, and welcome to MFP. I have been with MFP since 31st of March, and lost 37lb and 78.5". I have tried other methods, but this is the only thing that has changed my lifestyle completely. I injured my knee (cartilage damage) almost a year ago, and was unable to walk until about late January this year. Now, I run 4-8 miles a day with my Kangoo Jumps. Nobody would have even imagined me walking 5 months ago, let alone running.

I wish you every success on your journey to a healthier happier you.
