Is this group still active? Do people still use it or should I close it down?

    I recently found it but haven't seen much activity. I wish there was--I'd like to talk to others who are doing WW PP but also counting calories/watching macros.

    Yeah - I created it and eventually stopped using it because no one else was sticking to the group. So I walked away . . . for months.

    I am new but I would love to use this board. I just got the materials 3 weeks ago and am doing the program at home. I would love the support!

    i had noticed also not many people around anymore. maybe just a passing fad to them. i know it's working for me, and i am sticking to it.
    i was on vacation last week. came back lost 2.8, hit a total of 41.2 loss. it can be done.
    i am loving it. so i work it, and it's paying me back by it working....

    New joiner here. Lots of people on the WW boards talk about MFP. That's why I checked it out. Would love to see this group stay open!

    Awesome. Alright!

    When do you ladies want to do a board check in? Which day of the week?

    I'm back here again.

    I found that I'm way, way more successful counting points rather than calories but I still use the ticker on here and keep an eye on my macros.

    Congratulations on the weight loss. Are you using any kind of pedometer or fitness tracker?

    Hello, Im new to myfitnesspal, ...I am really hoping this group is still active!

    Still active, just quiet at the moment. I've noticed all the groups I'm in are really quiet, I imagine that will change once vacations are over and kids are back to school or off to college.

    How long have you been following the WW plan? I just went back after a year off and coming to the realization I need the structure and accountability.

    Feel free to send me a friend request.

    I have been back on weight watchers for 6 weeks now, and lost 16 pounds before I joined mfp.I lost 6 more this week, so I'm doing good so far :smile:

    Just re-joined WW today. I need to shake up my routine somehow and I hope this works. After talking to my doctor today he told me to try WW. Hopefully I will see the weight start dropping again.

    I'm planning to track both calories and points for the three months I've paid for. Don't plan to pay for WW for much longer than that. Unless of course I get amazing results.

    Planned to weigh-in for my first week tomorrow night, but I can't go to the meeting. Will have to wait until Friday.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm back on WW after leaving in early 2011 when they switched to Points Plus in Canada. I'm only doing it online so I'm very happy to see that there's a community here on MFP!

    I started the program three weeks ago, but didn't track for the first two weeks and actually gained some weight in that time. Tomorrow's my first weigh-in, 10 days after successful tracking, wish me luck!

    Feel free to add me as a friend - I keep my diary open and am happy to help anyone out that I can :)

    Shlo
