Calorie counting and WW

Tried calorie counting and I'm back to WW... I should have never left, but I was trying to save a few bucks and chose to try it for a few months, we live and learn. It is definitely a different dynamic and I like the point system better.
At the end of the day it's what works for each individual
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!!

I feel a lot like you. I've gone back and forth for months telling myself I can make calories work but always going back to WW because I just like it more.
Now I'm sticking with WW (only online) and if it costs me $18 a month so be it.
I'm just happier with WW.0 -
I'm thinking the same...it's the only thing that I've ever been successful with!0

I'm doing the online only as well...when I get closer to goal ill join meetings to make life time.
I lost 37 lbs first time around and got my diabetes under control that it didn't even show on glucose testing...0 -
Hi all, I was juts doing the exact same thing. I have joined ww online and find it so much easier than calorie counting but I do begrudge paying for the online cost. It was only £12.95 this month but goes up to £20 next month!0

I tried doing the cal counting to save some money and for me that was a mistake... I hate that monthly fee but you know what i chalk it up as something I'm doing "for me" alone, I'm going to put myself first and it cost a little to get me back in order ill take that small price for now.. I'm hoping to join meetings once closer to goal and getting lifetime so i don't have to pay ever again 0 -

I have to agree with this...I hate paying as well, but it seems to be worth it since I know it works! Also remember, Lifetime is only free if you are within 2 lbs. of goal at weigh-in - otherwise they make you pay. But my goal is to get back there and and stay there!!

yup, it's 2#s above or below your goal at the end of 6 weeks. than you become lifetime. than if you feel you could lose or want to you can go down.
my doctor set my goal 20# more than they have for my highest. he said no way would he want me that low. that their high would be my absolute lowest. so, after i hit lifetime i can still lose and it not affect my lifetime. he said that is my play goal. after that we will see where, feel, look i am as i move down again after i hit lifetime. i have 6#s to go.0 -
Chipper15173, your weight loss is amazing! Did you do it all following WW?0
-
Is there a way to post points to this app instead of counting the calories? It would be easier to work with one program.0

U are right..it is all about what works for each person. I looked at WW online, but decided to do MFP. I can do points and calories, both here. I do love Weight Watchers, though..( The meetings). Best of luck to you.0
-
Ahhh. Yes.. Love doing calories AND POINTS on here. Works great..and is easy to add the script. Thanks for the 'share'.0
-
Is there a way to do the script without Firefox? It won't work on my mac.0

It works with Chrome as well, but it won't work with Safari.0 -
i went to WW meeting today and was down 2 pounds. i was doing MFP religiously for 6 months and then am now taking care of two children suddenly, a 14 and 6 year old so geeze my life is different then when it was just me and keeping track of everything so good and eating all my stuff and only thinking of myself......but i think that WW works cause i have to go weigh in and it keeps me more honest than on MFP I give myself slack and say i will just do good the next day, well the next day has turned into the next month. So i am going to try my best at WW since i have already paid. I try to make it fun by doing it on Saturday then go do my grocery shopping and look through clothes i might fit at the local Fred Meyer/Kroger store. So thanks for sharing!1

I follow the UK 'propoints' system as well as logging my calories on MFP. I stopped going to class a while ago as my leader changed and I didn't find the new leader inspirational, lovely as she was. I took a bit of a break and lo and behold, gained the weight back. As none of the classes suited me timewise I downloaded an Android app called 'Value Diary' for around £2.00 and it's far better than the WW official android app which crashed all the time (loved the app for the iphone though). I also log my meals on here as I like to see the breakdown of what I'm eating.0

yes I am realizing that I miss the points plus. I noticed counting calories is not working for me.1
-
done WW twice and loved it but really loved the CORE program.
now i'm here trying to track. i think that will help me best. i eat pretty healthy foods and follow a lower-carb diet but i need to track. which i hate. would rather not have to pay for that!
would love to meet some friends. i'm 35 from the jersey shore.0 -
I did WW for 3 yrs and lost about 35 lbs. I stopped going~too much going on to make it to meetings~and got 15 if it back! I have the WW points plus app(greasemonkey userscript) and I LOVe IT!!! I use my fitness pal for FREE and get the benefit of WW!!!! By making the changes in the userscript, you get the new Pts. Plus-FREE!!!0
-
i wanna figure out how to get that script in--it's a jumble of text. where do i copy/paste it to? i don't get it:)0
-
I count points too, but keep aware of calories also..by tracking here. I love WW
points! 0 -
I have the WW points Script..and do not know if it works without Firefox. I have had it so long, I don't even remember how I did it. but..in addition to tracking calories, it tracks points. 0

I'll look late tonight when I have more time.. I have had mine so long that I forgot. But I love it! 0

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/122949 < try this. But I think it has to be with the Firefox browser only. 0

I just joined WW 9 days ago and love it!!! I've lost almost 4 lbs. and I don't feel deprived, guilty, like quitting... I'm only 9 days in, but it feels like the right fit for me. I'm going to meetings and weighing in. I have 16 lbs to go, so hopefully I will only be paying for another month or 2.0

I was on WW for several years. I now use MFP (FREE) with the WW Points user script (FREE)!! My Fitness Pal tracks the NEW WW Points Plus and is so easy touse!:flowerforyou:0
