Is anyone else doing another program like weight watchers, atkins, jenny craig etc, in addition to this? Just curious if the majority of users use this site exclusively or in conjunction with another regimented program?

    I follow a lot of the weight watchers principles...high fiber, lots of veggies (low in cals), but also try to keep my protein intake around 30% since I excercise regularly.

    I'm also using just this site. Mainly to keep a better record of my calories. I lost about 13 pounds before using this site, and have since lost another 19.

    I eat low carb, keep track of portions / carbs using MFP. Generally try to stay within a calorie range.

    I use 'me-version' of MFP - MFP along with diet principles I used during my diet and nutrition classes.

    Only this site. It is so easy to really just pay attention to calories and lose weight. My DH and I have both reached our goals here. We excercised only a handful of times and I lost 21 and he lost 40.

    I'm just calorie counting and exercising...seems to work great! I thinks this site/program is the foundation to those other programs you have mentioned.

    I'm obsessed with good balanced nutrition and an intense 6 days/week workout regimen. This site is just for bookkeeping, support & motivation, and kicking back with my MFP Peeps.

    I use this site exclusively... eating healthy is the way to go. You don't need fad diets... you need a lifestyle change that's sustainable.

    Just counting calories as that is what has worked in the past. I see the calories as a budget. I can have anything I want to eat -- but it's easy to see what gives you the best bang for the buck after you see how it adds up. My indulgence is flavored creamer in my coffee, normally limited to 2 per day. But I'm now using a sugar free version for one of those cups of coffee because MFP helped me to see how many good food calories I was giving up for the creamer.

    I do try to stick with lean meats and vegetables - tastes good, fills you up and best 'bang for your buck' again. :-) Best of success to you! Yvonne

    This site and lots of advice and tips from trainers at the gym, and friends that compete in Bodybuilding and Fitness! Can never have to much information :)

    This site is my alternate main source of online entertainment, virtual social interaction, and calorie tracking. If that were to change it goes back to p0rn, GameFAQs, and LiveStrong, respectively... in that order.

    I'm pretty much the same way. I use this site to look at all the nutritional info and not just count calories. I want this to be a lifestyle change and by watching that it is helping me to know what good food choices I can make. It also helps me see where exercise helps in working towards my food goals. I'm slowing beginning to know instinctively what I can and cannot eat and also the amounts.

    I just try to eat pretty balanced. I use MFP to keep track of my specific numbers for my macronutrients (and of course my calories). Other than that, I'm not on a "diet". :bigsmile:

    I just use this site. I don't consider this a diet or even calorie counting. I just use it to gain the knowledge of what I am putting into my body. I never realized that I was eating so much, because I only ate three times a day. But I traveled alot and most of those meals were in places like Longhorn, Outback, Applebees(which does have a nice under 550 cal menu). To me this is just about changing my bad learned behaviors and getting back to a sane way of eating.

    I started out with Weight Watchers but I'm not working, so I can't really afford the meeting fees. This site is actually teaching me to eat much healthier. I just hope I can keep up the motivation without the support of WW meetings!

    I am with both you guys. I've tried, with some success, every "diet" out there. Diets do not work for me. It has to be a total lifestyle change. I use this site multiple times a day and only this site to log exercise, food and to research. I, too, keep up with several nutritional values i.e, sodium, sugar, etc.

    I use MFP exclusively and have had fabulous results :) I follow the plan - including eating my exercise calories nearly every day.

    I started with Nutrisystem, ...did that for a few months (it's expensive, ...but it works) and I am here! This is keeping me on track to eat healthier all the time. I can see how some people can get obsessive about logging their food, some days I am, but for most of the time it only takes a few minutes to plug in my food, after that you can make what you want of the site> I enjoy chatting it up so it is nice to meet new people!! :smile:

    Just MFP. Diets don't work. I am learning how to eat in a more healthful way that I can live with for the rest of my life.
