I did the same thing for 3 months. But in the end i rejoined ww because i wasn't losing counting calories. Try MFP for 1 month and see your results, compare to the results you got when you were doing the ww plan and make that be your deciding factor.

I did MFP for 2 months and i gained and lost the same 5 lbs. I'm back with ww down 3 lbs and the scale is sticking to that loss so far. I will know Sat what this week holds but I'm a daily weigher (i'm ok with fluctuations) and the 3 lbs is still gone..

Hi, I plan on using MFP to track loosely; I will NOT follow their guideline of eating over 200g of carbs a day, that's for sure. I know that I do better staying away from the breads, pastas, rices, etc. So I will input my food here, and I've manually inputted some nutritional goals, but that's clumsy as well. I make a "note" on each day stating how many of my WW points I've used for each meal and total at end of day.

I am on Day 7 of WW 360 and so far I am doing rather well; I thought that I would hate looking up points, weighing and measuring, etc., but it's not as bad as thought. I am in a special 10 week class through work, so after the 10 weeks I will just be following it on my own; I am hoping I will be firmly established with losing and the whole WW way so that I will stick with it to the end of my journey.

I will use the forums, make a blog and try to make friends here as well; I figure that the more tools I have, the more successful I will be!

Here's to success for all of us!

Thanks guys!

Ready4thin, hi and welcome!

I kind of see figuring out points like a game. It's more fun than calories.

We'll see what the scale says on Friday!

Yes, it is rather like a game! And it does make you *think* about everything. You have to decide if the points are worth it. One thing I decided was absolutely worth it was the points for half and half in my coffee! Not giving that up, no way, no how!
