Hello;

Was doing WW online, then they up and changed everything! Any books I have, my points calculator, all useless!!! I'm not paying for anything that figures it can take advantage of me every so often and make me spend a fortune. Also sick of the discrimination that since I'm not paying to go to meetings I cannot purchase "specialty products".

I heard about this site from a friend who just started with me today. It looks awsome and I already love the fact if you enter a new items it is shared with everybody! Still have 55lbs to go and truely believe this site is going to help me get there! Joined the FB group and ready to go!!

Chelsea :)

    I am new to this site also. Was on WW for a few years which worked at first but lately I don't seem to be losing. Joined a gym and like it. The weight machines are my favorite but also like the group classes.

    I feel like using this site is pretty much just like using the WW site, only free. I paid for WW online a few times and didn't feel like it was really worth the money, esp. since I wasn't attending meetings. This site has all the features of the WW site that I have seen so far.

    I still attend the WW meetings, I'm lifetime. I was unable to lose my last pounds until I started on this site! The fact that we are counting ALL the nutrients and not just calories, fat and fiber made a huge difference in my weight loss. Hope it works for you too!

    I still attend the WW meetings, I'm lifetime.

    I plan on eventually going back to the meetings. I'm lifetime as well, but feel really bad about being over goal and too ashamed to go back to the meetings. Besiddes, I was thinking that counting calories might be easier for me. Ultimately, I know that as long as I track honestly & faithfully and exercise regularly that the weight will eventually come back off & stay off.

    I didn't become a lifetime member of WW, I made that expensive mistake with Jenny Craig before I got pregnant. Couldn't do Jenny while pregnant, without the prepackaged (and horrible) meals I went form 183lbs to 245lbs by the end of my pregnancy. Hadn't learned self control, just ate what was in the boxes. The cost a week was outrageous for food too, by the end I had to force myself to eat the stuff it was so boring and repedative.

    Still I think I'll enjoy not paying anything and still having tools to work with. Already have a bunch of people added as friends (cool) and snooping around the site.
