Thank You so much for posting in the general boards as I had no idea there would be a WW group on MFP. I don't know why I didn't think to look here earlier in the year when I was on WW. It was a rocky road for me this past year as I joined Jan 26th 2012, one day after my birthday and by June 7th I quit or should I say I was more or less forced out of the classes. When I started the program they told me I was allowed 52 points. In the first 16 weeks I lost 15 pounds. When you weigh as much as I do 15 pounds in my eyes in 16 weeks was nothing. I lower my points to 37 and in the next 3 weeks I lost an additional 20 pounds. I was told if I didn't bring my points back up I would not be allowed to continued so I left. Unfortunately I was so soured by that whole encounter that I didn't continue on my own. I will not go back to a WW class again and I have been a customer since I was 13 years old and sent to their first Fat Camp in New York.
However I do plan to keep my points at 37 and follow the program at home on my own starting Jan 2 1013. I have entered a BL challenge which starts on Saturday Jan 5th. So If you would like to become buddies and support each other I would love to hear from you and anyone else doing WW on MFP.

I rejoined WW just before Christmas. It's the only program I've stuck to for any length of time in the past so I use that for tracking and MFP for motivation and support. In the first 2 weeks back I lost 16.4 and have my week 3 weigh in tonight.

So glad to have found this group!! I too, have been off/on WW for several years and know it's what works for me when I work the program. I started tracking in MFP but felt hungry with only 1200/day so I started tracking PP the old fashion way (tracker) on Sunday 1/6 and have done really good this week so far. For me, not having to weigh or measure every piece of fruit/vegetables has helped tremendously. I know it's a mindset but it's what works. I tried just tracking food that has PP values and not entering the 0 PP foods but felt like I was spending too much time TRACKING. I planned out my whole week's meals and have had to adjust a couple of times due to unexpected interruptions but it wasn't hard to swap out meals.

I've enjoyed reading all of your posts and looking forward to being an active member in this group!!!:flowerforyou:

I've been a long time supporter and off and on again member of WW and said that if I feel I'm not getting anywhere using MFP then I would re-join WW before the end of March. I'm seriously thinking about signing up tonight. I've always had great success with WW and currently I like MFP but it's not really helping me right now.

Why don't you use Mfp and still count points? Unless you need the meetings.

I'm in the same boat with you. I've been on and off WW for years and when I stick to it, it works. I feel like I'm not deprived and if I have my slips, I have the extra points for that....
