in Introduce Yourself
Hi all, Just saying hello, as i thought i would give mfp a proper good go, got sick of weigh watchers and fell off the wagon as i have done with all the diets i have tried - how annoying

Hope to " chat" with some people on here and encourage each other

    As a former WW member, welcome. But hey - let's not look at it as a 'diet'. You go on a diet, you go off. Look at this as a change to your lifestyle, becoming more healthy and living better. This is an everyday way to live!! Take care.

    Welcome! I find that, in today's world, it's hard to maintain a healthy food lifestyle.... especially when my co-workers are always bringing in donuts and cookies! I don't eat them, tho... but I look to my friends on mfp for encouragement. Sometimes, just reading their status updates and their success stories is enough to keep my fingers from the donuts. :) Good luck!!

    Welcome! Yes, it is another day. But don't think of it as another diet. Think of it as a new way of thinking and eating. I have done WW, NutraSystem, and a lot of other ones to loose weight. And I have gained back the pounds plus more. Feel free to friend me if you want you.

    I probably won't be popular for saying this but I hate WW with a passion! lol! It encourages people to lose too much weight too quickly with no real advice on good exercise and nutition goes out the window!

    Better off on here I reckon welcome back! :)

    Welcome!

    I am a former WW also. WW worked but was just too expensive. This site has great tracking and lots of people to help. If you want you can add me as a friend.

    I'm with you girl! I've done it all, WW, Formu3, the whole 9. Start, stop, start, stop...an:wink: endless and VICIOUS cycle! I'm new to this site and I too plan on giving it a good go! Glad to know I'm not alone :)

    MFP isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle :) Good luck!

    I did loose weight on WW but you are right that it does not really emphasize exercise. The points at first seemed easier but then they went and changed them and you needed a special calculator - what a mess. And it was just too costly!

    The phonw app is what saved me this week. I just did not have time to log in to track things. All I had to do was pull up the phone app and I was done!
