I've been struggling to lose weight for 6 years now - going on and off WW, constantly discouraged by my lack of progress there even when I followed the plan to a T.
Imagine my shock at the daily calorie target I received on here - several hundred calories less than I've been consuming on WW!
So, I've decided to give this a try and see if I can finally tame the monkey that has been on my back (and around my waist, and around my thighs, and sitting on my butt) for the past 6 years.

Hi from RI! I just stumbled upon this website via a favorite Android app, wwdiary. I use this app with wwdiary to get all my 'points' in check.
Good luck with everything!!

Oh my gosh--yes, it was the same thing for me! The calorie counter pretty much showed me why I haven't been able to lose weight! What a shocker! With that in check, I've already (unofficially, since my weigh in is tomorrow) lost 3 pounds! Here's hoping my success continues, and hoping that this is what you need, too!

I've tried WW on and off for a couple of years. I was able to lose the first time, but not after that. I really love this site, and like people have said, the best part is that its free!!! Good luck!0
