    When i did weight watchers I ate so many low-fat carby kind of things cause the food that higher in fat and full of protein gives you a bigger hit on points. Now on MFP (I do TDEE method) I try to stay lower on carbs and higher on protein and I don't feel hungry much ever. I think that is a problem with WW is that you can go all day eating 100 calorie packs of junk and never get all your points in, but you are never eating real food and you are always hungry. Making the change to eating food that is higher in fat and protein, but also will making you feel much fuller for the day will definitely help with your evening binges I think!

    And please remember the first couple of weeks of any new regimen is gonna suck. So give it some time!!

    Definitely pick one calculator or the other - basically the same. If you go the TDEE route (I do) change your goals in MFP by using the custom button to manually set your goals - put in 0 for calories burned and when you track your exercise (If you want to) change the calories burned to 1. This will make it so that it doesn't change your calorie goal.

    Don't make any more changes until you've tried this for at least 4 weeks.

    Good luck!!

    Thank you for your help everyone it's just hard when your use to doing something for so many years, I'm going down tdee method and sticking to 1700 cals, as for my "punctuation" I do APOLOGISE if it has offended anyone but I''am dyslexic so I do struggle with grammar!! But thanks for taking extra time to amended my spelling mistakes and punctuation I really really appreciate it now people can understand it more :)

    Didn't like system 1 so tried system 2 .. didn't like that so tried number 3 .. not sure about that either so I say I'm doing it but actually I'm not - doing my own thing instead ... guess what ... that's not working either .... WTF?

    How about this - PICK A PLAN AND STICK TO IT PROPERLY - Give it a chance!!!

    her MFP journey has to start somewhere - everyone's had a first 4 days in it.

    Isn't it better that she asks questions early and gets off to a better start?
