Has My Fitness Pal helped you lose weight. I have been doing weight Watchers but want to just use M.F.P. and see how I do. How much have you lost and in what amount of time with M.F.P......and have you switched from other programs and had MORE success here. Thanks in advance for leaving comments :)

    Getting rid of everything I thought I knew about dieting from weightwatchers, slimming world, newspapers, magazines, friends etc

    Focusing on calories only ...weighing, logging accurately using MFP ..averaging across the week

    Moving more ...walking and lifting and gym workouts

    And committing every single day to do it

    That's what helped me lose weight, and now maintain it

    I tried to do Weight Watchers and MFP at the same time but ended up quitting WW after about 2 months. MFP works the best for me because I don't have to worry about translating things into points. I also know that for MYSELF, I cannot stick with a program that has a lot of processed carbs. I take in a lot of protein and dairy so the points system wasn't really working for me. Try both and see which one suits you better. WW is a good plan for a lot of people. Good luck!

    Using the app to count my calories has helped me lose weight. I don't think there is anything magical about MFP itself but I think that the tool that is provided is useful.

    I've lost 25 pounds with MFP since late April 2014.

    I've lost 18 pounds in 72 days. The calorie counting has helped me lose weight -- MFP tools and the advice on the forums has helped me calorie count effectively.
