in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm new to myfitnesspal. Have been on WW for years but it is not working for me anymore. Too many "free" fruits and veggies that eventual add up and slow/stop weight loss. SO I will start tracking calories. This site is easy to use and even fun. Looking forward to getting back on track!

    Welcome! I also tried WW, problem with those programs is typically we are all different! Definitely didn't work for me! I tried counting calories as well but I found my body responded best to low carb/high fat! It's a trial and error process isn't it?? Good luck on your journey! You can do it! :smile:

    WW is a good start for people to become mindful about the foods they're eating. As you start needing to dial it in, tracking calories does help, even if it's for a while just to become more aware about how much an actual serving of food is and the estimated calorie value it holds.

    My dietician recommended MFP years ago as I used to use another website. I have a digital scale. I weigh everything to keep count. I use recipe builder when I batch cook. Bar code scanner is a nice feature.
