in Introduce Yourself
I am LOVING MFP!!!!!!!! I love sugar, carbs, take-out, delivery.... I lost 2.4lbs my first week. (YES, I am accountable...absolutely!) Wed - Wed. I am now into my 2nd week with MFP and it is sooooooo easy. (Waaaaaay better than WW! WW became a diet. Jello is 280 calories but 19 pts.) Thank you MFP I am losing...in a good way. :). xoxoxoxo

    I'm doing WW and tracking. I am also breastfeeding so as soon as my three month thing is up with WW I'm just going to track here too! Could use a friend!

    I lost weight on the "old" WW program. WW changed their points system and I became a binge eater. MFP is true. I would be happy to be your friend. :) (I too need friends on my journey. :) )

    I left WW shortly after the new year - I gave the SP system a real try, but I was miserable. I started dual tracking, and at one point I'd hit my daily pts target dead on (eating all healthy foods, whole grains, lean protein, fruits & veggies), and I was only at 920 calories per MFP. 920! That is the day I decided to give up my WW membership. Welcome to MFP, and great job with your losses so far.

    NEOHgirl, I realized that WW was not for me when jello was 19 pts!!! (only 280 calories.) I found MFP and I have been eating baked potatoes (with fat free sour cream), bread, avocados WITH olive oil in my salads. (I am soooo happy with MFP. xoxoxo)

    WW refugee as well. I couldn't deal with their new points system. Too restrictive. I came to MFP and I love it.

    To add friends ? Tap on the persons name. It will open another page. Tap on their name again. Then another page. Then tap on the little add thingy. And then you will have to type your name in and alittle note then send. Hope this helps everyone
