One unintended consequence I've noticed since moving to MFP is that I've started tracking my intake again. I figure maybe it's time to put forth a bit of effort to re-drop those last 10 pounds!

Right there with you! While I'm still not "perfect" about tracking, I have been tracking *most* things here on MFP. I'm still pretty much following the Core program, but this gives me the opportunity to see how well I'm staying within the recommended caloric intake (for me that's about 1200 calories a day). I'm happy to say that since I started doing that, I've dropped about 2.5 of the 10-15 I need to lose to get back to my personal goal weight.

WW introduced me to a common sense way to lose and then maintain weight loss. GOAD and meetings helped me with accountability. I went back to a meeting a couple months ago and there were no more men in attendance. There used to be several couples when my wife and I attended. It is such a different dynamic now, and not too much to my liking. I'm going to try this on my own with as much assistance as I can get from this board. If this doesn't provide enough accountability for me, then I will go back and ask if there are any weekly meeting that have a more balanced attendance of both men and women.

Welcome, Jane!

Hi, I'm Laura, Lgoodwood here and when I was on WW. Had lost 100 lbs, ran a 5k and then got cocky. Currently about 40 lbs above low. Am going to be using Value Diary app to track if I get back to it. Missed you "guys".

SoFLpeg, aka Peg, aka CaseyDoglet at WW. While I have joined you all here, that now makes 4 places I have to go to find WW refugees so I am unlikely to be around much. In general I find the MFP boards a bunch of drivel so I don't check them. Ever.

After dropping almost 40 lbs on WW online only I got fed up with paying for crap technology and switched to MFP where I lost 30 more. I put 10 of those back on but feel a bit better here, I know I was too thin at 150. Not that I would mind getting back there but apparently not enough to actually work at it.

I mostly don't even use MFP much any more, I've moved to more intuitive eating and it seems to be working for me. Though I am likely to track again once I start marathon training (next week, eek) to be sure the macros are lining up appropriately more than for the calorie tracking.

All of you GoaDies know the twisted sense of humor my ex hates, and some things never change, especially because I'm enjoying life. Beginning with Monday "What Day Is It" will be on this site, FB and WW until their message board evaporates.

Hi. I'm Chris. I'm mrpher on GOAD on the WW board and mrpher here too. I used to be a very active poster on GOAD, but now I normally just check in when I can. I'd like to lose a few pounds to get closer to where I was when I was at my lowest weight, but my motivation isn't very strong right now. Hanging in there and waiting to get back "in the zone" again.

You are doing great Jim!

My name is Mike and I'm back on WW again. It is the only thing that works for me yet I can't seem to stick with it....Need to lose about 40#'s. Joined with my daughter who wants to lose some weight for her upcoming wedding in December. Because of this I know I will lose weight, my wallet will be much lighter......

Hi, and thank goodness (and Kim) I found GoaD again. Just coming back to WW, wouldn't know how to do it without GoaD. I lost 45 pounds on WW four years ago and slowly put 35 of them back on. Time to get serious and stay serious. My goal is 50 pounds below where I am now. But mostly my goal is to eat well, stay fit and feel good about myself. -Curtis

Hi Goadies. My name is K and I have been lurking since 2006, the year I joined WW, lost 30 pounds and found the GoaD message board. Managed to keep under goal for 2 years and have been slowly creeping up.
I do want to say THANK YOU to all those who are active here, reading your posts have kept me closer to goal than I would have been without GoaD. Followed you all here to keep reading What Day is It and LTL.
My main exercise is walking the dog and enjoying retirement in southern NH.
As others have stated, time to get serious and get back to WW goal.

Welcome Curtis, K and chrisdad

Hi, Guys. Finally made it over here to MFP! I've been a GOAD since Oct 2007, happy to find so many of you here already. I have been hovering at 20 lbs over goal weight for over a year. I'd like to shed at least 10 of that and have been making some progress. I track calories on the LoseIt! app and haven't paid for WW in many years. I like running, lifting, biking, and hiking. Husband, dad, lawyer . . . Twin Cities, MN.

Newbie here. I'm novo7412 also known as Corbin. I have tried WW one other time so hopefully second time is the charm (I don't want to go for three!) My photo is at my optimal weight, was there 3 years and 35 pounds ago but now not so much.

As far as my WW participation, I'm an online member only. I don't think I would do well with the meetings. So, I have to try to find my motivation somewhere else. I like the MFP board better than the WW ones. When I tried WW last year and failed, I tried to participate in the WW community boards, but felt like I was ignored.

My greatest challenge is motivation and moving around. I am a full time student again and find myself sitting at computers all day writing papers.

General Question: For those on WW, do you log our days on MFP as well? I don't like to think about double posting everything twice but will for the best results.

Nice to meet everyone. Have a great adventure.

Welcome, Corbin!
