in Introduce Yourself
Hi just joined this site after quitting weight watchers. The new points plus program to me is difficult to manage. I think more a more realistic way of tracking the food we eat is by the caloric value of the food itself and not points. I have gained 5 lbs. from ww. Calories in vs. calories out is the key. This looks like a good site and (free). Hoping to meet some online buddies to support each other with our goals.

    Welcome! I'm also a WW refugee. I got sick of having to change the tools I learned to maintain my weight every few years. Calorie counting doesn't change the way WW does which is what I need.

    I am actually still a Weight Watchers member, soon to quit I'm sure. It is so much easier to track using this website, than trying to figure out the points for everything I eat. So basically, I have been following THIS plan, but still weighing-in and attending Weight Watchers meetings. Since I started using myfitnesspal, less than a month ago mind you, I have lost 7.2 pounds. More success than I ever had following the WW PointsPlus program. So good luck to you, I think you'll like it!
