Hi everyone ! I have just started using both weight watchers and myfitnesspal to track what I eat. I was wondering if anyone here tracks their calories and also tracks their points with weight watchers ? Or maybe counts calories and uses the weight watchers meetings for accountability ?

    I did weight watchers for the past year and lost 71 lbs. I recently switched to calories because the new plan wasnt working for me. I tracked both places for a while but it was too time consuming. So now om just on MFP and losing at a steady rate again. Ww is good for accountability when ya need it. Thats how I lost what i did going to meetings. But that mew plan is just meh. I think counting calories and using the meeting for weigh-in and accountability is a good ideal though actually. If i didnt have a group of family that meet and weighin every week id prob do that too.

    I just joined ww too. This is a great question. I am already over my points for the day but not my calories on Mfp. My large coffee was 12 points alone and Im allotted 23 a day. Mfp has my coffee at around 200 calories....I still have some calories I need to get in me by the end of the day! Its really confusing lol

    I did both for a bit, now I do mfp , just like the other people here posted I was eating around 900 calories for 23 points and I was losing very slow.

    Thanks so much everyone !! I think I will focus more on being in a healthy calorie range and going to weight watcher meetings to get weighed and for motivation.

    No, WW points are proprietary to WW.

    A lot of people on here seem to have done the same. Just doing the new program alone I gained weight, that’s why I joined MFP too

    Actually you can use the itrackbites ap to do points for older versions of WW.

    I use MFP for the calories and I use WW for the meetings. Meetings keep me accountable!
