I do WW but I do WW in person, and I'm kind of confused about what you are talking about.0
-
I am a WW member also. I found this sight last night while watching Dietribe on lifetime. I'm thinking it may be better than WW.0

I was using the food diary to find out the calorie/fiber/fat contents. and some things are off.
do you guys use the diary to track your points?0 -
how long have you been on WW? What do you think about this sight?0
-
I only started last night., but I only see a little difference. For example, I like the honey mustard wraps at McDonalds. They are 7 points on WW, but when I looked at the food data base on this sight the were 6 points after I put the numbers in my WW calculator. I don't think that is a BIG difference.0

I have been on WW off and on for a month. I'm a horrible dieter. but this was fun to plug in your daily menu and see the actual listings. I usually write it all down on a piece of paper.
How long have you been on WW? how is it going?

I just started this site also today. I listed everything I have planned out to eat today and it was all there. I was surprised. Even the brands I was using.0

did they specificaly talk about MFP on lifetime ? or just about diet journals ?0 -
Calories is what it is all about in ever diet plan and this certainly does a fine job ot that.

Good point. Calories is the main goal. I was trying to find a good balance of using it. Points vs calories.0

I just watched the show and I didnt see them talk about MFP but I had DVR'd it and I forwarded through the commercials.0 -
with you going to WW in person, do you track your points on here? the daily food diary I mean.0
-
They didn't mention the sight but I noticed that he put them on a 1,500 calorie diet. That 's what sparked my interest. Plus my school is doing the biggest loser and our school nurse email us this site.0
-
I'm keeping track of the points through using the calorie counter and the data base nutrition info. Or I just might end WW altogether. I do like the weigh ins and the meetings. I could spend the 40 dollars a month on a good scale.0
-
Aren't points the same as calories? I thought like 50 calories = 1 point, or roughly the same.0
-
50 cals per point is a loose estimation, you would have to take into consideration a high fiber count, etc.
I am on WW, but am now counting calories as well. I keep my WW monthly pass, I need to be weighed in. But I love the counting calories aspect. Besides that the food tracker here has a much better list.0 -
I was on WW for about 14-15 months.. religiosly..
I have lost about 45-50 lbs
It has thought me a lot of things and I think if you follow it .. you can not only loose weight but actually learn a few things here and there- and keep that knowledge..
portion sizes.. for me was a big trouble.. learned with them
and than i learned a calorie is not always a calorie.. i always thought " i knew everything " what there is to know.. i looked up the labels for calories and fat content.. never really cared so much about
* sugar- in food that you wound't think they have sugar !
* fiber- no fiber- not worth
* sodium- to much of it- not good for you -water retention..
etc .. so I have learned to use my calories/ points with more " quality " I have learned to actually say
" no its' not worth it's calories or ' points " while b/f ww. i would just juggle down what ever was in sight..
Liked the weigh ins and meetings - while the weight was coming of.. than i hit a forever platoe.. and just couldn't loose another oz no matter what i did/changed/ tried.. so eventually after few months of weigh ins and not really moving anywhere .. lbs up- two down.. two up- one down.. etc.. i just lost my motivation for it- now i would maybe go back to it - but can't afford..0 -
I agree, I found Aldi, fit active food on the data base list0
