in Introduce Yourself
Hiya, just joined this this morning, after struggling on WW's for a long time, lol.

Can anyone tell me if you count veg/salad and diet pop in your calories, or do you not count these? Some calorie diets you do, and yet some (like Rosemary Conley), you don't. Thanks. Sam xx:laugh:

    Hi, welcome! I have been here less than 1 week. You can add me to your friends. Everyone on this site is so very kind and supportive. I follow low-carb dieting, so I log all my veggies. I don't drink pop, so cannot help you there.
    Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    I'm on WW too but since i've been here, i haven't been on there too much. I think it's a nice blend of the two. i count all things i put in my body -- even crystal light packets. You have to count everything -- it's the only way to be conscious about where your calories are going. at least for me, that's what I do. good luck!

    Hey! I am new as well and looking for tips and helpful hints. I have been on WW since February 5 and have lost 18pounds so far. I decided to give this site a try after it was suggested by one of my friends. I also count everything, although it is very challenging at times, it keeps you aware of what your intake is.

    Hi and welcome to a terrific site of terific people! FOr me I log everything that I eat or drink. I rarely drink soda but if I did it would go in! That is the main reason I joined MFP, I needed something to hold me accountable for what I ate and my calories. This site has been great!
    Feel free to add me if you'd like!!

    Welcome to MFP! This site is so easy and full of amazingly supportive people. I log everything that I eat or drink, even if it is zero calories I log it so that I have a complete account. Good luck to you!

    Former WWer myself. I understand their new system you do not count fruits/veggies. MFP counts calories so log everything. WW has not worked for me for awhile. This site is awesome, puts ETools to shame. Add me as a friend if you want. Good Luck!

    Welcome!
    I have been seriously using this site for almost 2 weeks. Never been with WW so not certain how it works. For me, I have been adding in everything I eat or drink during the day. I am trying to get a handle on what I consume so that I can start making adjustments. Looking to lose weight and improve my eating habits.
    Best of luck!
