Hi I'm new! Slimming world hasn't worked for me (for the second time) and I'm going to try myfitnesspal out - anyone in the same boat as me? I've been on SW since August last year and have only lost 8Ibs - was horrified to complete one day of recording on myfitnesspal and find that if I carry on with SW I will lose precisely 1/2ib in 5weeks. Bit of a no-brainer?

Hope this works! :smile:

    hey, i have been on this site for just a couple of months and it has really helped me, whenever i see those calories go into the negatives it really affects me and motivates me to try harder. i know you can reach your goals, don't give up!

    Good Luck,

    I had the same thing happen with SW so decided to try another way! Hope it works for both of us.

    Tracking has always worked well for me in the past. Support is also a huge part of it. . .Good luck! (I just started today as well.)

    Thank you ladies! I'm feeling really positive about this! CrimsonXero I agree with your comment about the colour of the calories etc – to see that great big deficit in red was a shocker, and a motivator to stay ‘in the green’!

    I agree MikJenna, tracking looks to be a good way to stay in control. SW was too ambiguous for me I think.

    Colette – sorry that you also have had the same experience with SW – it makes me feel a bit better as I got very dispirited to be really trying and losing nothing.

    Let’s go for it then! :smile:

    Slightly different, I was on weightwatchers. After 3 months I had put on 3lb! I have been here 10days and lost 7 1/2lb!! I know it is first week water loss, but I never even had that at WW. Tracking every calorie you eat has got to be the right way to go. Good luck!
