in Motivation and Support
I started my weight loss journey by joining Weight Watchers. I loved the accountability and community the structure of WW provided, but over time grew dissatisfied with the points system. Bananas are zero point?! That doesn't even make sense...

So I left WW back in 2015, but have really been struggling with the lack of community and external accountability since I made the switch. I've decided I want to be more activate on the MFP message boards and make some health and fitness friends! Please add me and I'll add you back :)!

    I could never do the WW points thing myself. I am re-starting my weight loss journey. I lost a good bit after my son was born but now have gained some back. Now I need some motivation!

    The WW is a lot of magical thinking from my perspective - it didn't really teach me anything about the food I was eating. A rice krispy treat is the same number of points as a protein bar? Like, what?

    I decided I wanted to really learn more about the food I was eating so that I'd be able to make smart decision on my own, and not feed into the WW business model.

    Go you! :D Excited to be MFP friends.
