in Introduce Yourself
I am starting the program after losing 31 lbs on Weight Watchers because I am at a stand still. I have learned enough that between my husband and I; we believe that we can both keep on track and go from here. We both have iPads, iTouchs and even iPhones so that tracking food and keeping on track is going to be easy. Can't wait to get started on 1 July 2013.

    I lost around 70 lbs. over 8 years on and off at Weight Watchers and reached my goal in fall of 2010, but I'm up 20 lbs from that now, and this is where it stops! I got so bored with it after a while and I also disagree with the current plan's disregard of calories in fruits and vegetables, not counting those does NOT work for me. I'm Robin, from Nashville. Also, I am a runner, I race, and plan to do another half-marathon in September, and I need to get back to racing weight.

    I did WW for a short time last year and I tracked in WW Tools and MFP and they came out the same even with the fruit / vegetable difference. All I can say is the fruit / veg is in there in the points somewhere. If you are eating normal servings it is the same.

    I don't like WW because it all seems like a sales pitch to me that I have to pay for.
    What's on sale this week, oh buy and subscribe to ActiveLink etc. Always something.
    They do have some items that I did buy but it always felt like a hard sell every week.

    I have also just left WW after losing almost 80lbs. Cant afford the meetings any more and have kind of lost interest. Hence why I'm here. I am getting married in just over 6 months and need to try something new.

    Looking forward to getting to know some people on a similar journey to me. I'm in New Zealand by the way so any Kiwi's out there flick me a message! :)
