Hello All,

I am making the switch from WW to MFP because I need to start saving money. I have been doing WW since October and have lost 15lbs, but for the last couple of months I have been at a stand still. Needing to try something new (and even better - free), I joined MFP. So far I am loving that I can keep track of things on my phone and it really is eye opening to see the amount of calories in the foods I eat.

I have about 60 pounds I would like to lose and I know I can do it, but it is just going to take time.

    Just another MN resident of MFP :happy: I live in SE MN, small town. I also switched from WW to MFP, not only the money, but I wanted to see what kind of nutrition I was getting. At the time my cholesterol had gone south from bad habits. MFP helped me fix it in no time. If you want another MN friend feel free to add me.

    I am also new to this site and from MN. I am from Central MN. I love this so far....I have noticed it is easy to track meals and snacks. It helps detour me from snacking at night.
