Just wondering if anyone has tried the new Weght Watchers Points Plus program in combination with MFP. I recently joined WW and I will be doing a 1 month trial, and I plan on continuing to use MFP to track my nutrition and make sure i am meeting all of my numbers. Just wondering what your thoughts were or if it worked for you. thanks

    I just started WW last week myself and I am doing MFP also. Boy it is alot of computer work here, because WW gave us a book and told us to go under the website to get the points of food. I just document my WW points under the notes on the bottom of your diary on MFP. But beware WW says we can eat all the fruit and veggies you want, well according to MFP bananas for example have alot of carbs, so my first week I stayed under the calories and carbs doing both, but then last nite I ate some wings and cheese fries and 2 glasses of wine because WW gives you an extra 49 points to use if you want on the weekend. So I did, we will see how that works out tomorrow is my weigh in, OH NO....Well good luck to you. Let me know how it is going for you doing both.

    WW is a good program to teach you about serving size and what's better for you to eat (ie. healthier foods tend to be lower in points). I did one of the older programs when my now 9 yr old was only 3 months old and I lost about 36/38 lbs in about 16 weeks. I have tried the program right before the Points Plus after having my youngest (4.5 yr old) and I think I mentally wasn't in it. I ended up quitting. Now I just use MFP. If you use MFP to track your food, I thin keeping track of your points in the notes is a PERFECT way to marry the two. Just do keep in mind that MFP doesn't take into account the extra weekly points that WW gives you. So you might go over MFPs daily allotment for that but as long as you keep track of them in your notes, I think that you'll do just fine.

    Good Luck!
