Hi I'm new, on WW at the mo, but planning on changing

Hello! I have been doing WW for 5 years now! I have lost 80 lbs and have been maintaing well. I recently joined MFP to "shake" things up for me. I really think they both work well. You have to find what works best for you and keeps you motivated. Neither is "easy", but both will get you to your goals if you stick with it! Slow and steady wins the race! Good Luck! You CAN do this!

There are a lot of people out here who are kind of doing both. Not sure how they do that, but they seem to be here.

Both are really doing the same thing--limiting how much you eat and encouraging you to exercise. I find this easier than counting points, just because it's pretty doggone hard to find food that somebody hasn't listed here. You DO need to be careful in that most of the calorie and nutrition counts have been entered by we, the users. Some of us are apparently not as careful as others. So if the calories just LOOK wrong, I find I need to double check to see if someone else listed it properly. But obviously this has been very successful for me and for others, and the price is definitely right.

The biggest change we need to make is how we think about food.
