Turning to MFP after Frustrations with WW Freestyle

Hello All,

I used MFP years ago in an attempt to be healthy and lose weight, but I didn't stick with it. Then a year ago I tried out Weight Watchers. I really liked the Smartpoints program and lost almost 20 pounds on it before my wedding.

After the wedding I relaxed for a bit until returning to WW. I gave Freestyle a chance for at least six weeks and I just couldn't stand it. I would be down .4 one week, up 1.2 the next, etc. I wasn't eating enough protein and the zero point foods are all so boring for a vegetarian like me. I felt the need for more accurate data. It's been one week on MFP and I've finally lost a whole pound! I don't feel gassy or bloated all the time and I finally feel like I'm back on track. I need some "friends" for motivation though--one thing I do like about WW is the Connect feature on their app and how easy it is to share with others.
