I am just starting this program and I have done weight watchers in the past. I am used to counting points, not calories. Does anyone have any good ideas of how to convert my thinking? I look at a food and think points for example banana 0 on this 105 calories for a banana!!

Also does anyone have any quick ideas for breakfast etc. that you know what the calories are?

I hope this makes sense Thanks :smile:

    Hi,
    I also was a weight watchers person before I started this. I find this program to be so much easier for me. I feel way less hungry and it is so muchmore convenient for me. I seem to lack staying power. I go head first into something and never seem to stick with it. I am thinking this community will be the one that finally works. Feel free to send me a friend request and we can change our thinking over together. Weight watchers is a good program it just doesn't fit me personally. I have to make small changes that will stick I think to make this work.

    I love this and its Free!!! The best part about MFP is that we can just add what we ate in and it figures calories and keeps track for us!

    Former weight watchers member here too! I think there are alot of us. :) I find the mobile app for MFP helpful. You can look up foods and see the nutritional info before eating them. It also has a barcode scanner so it can quickly find prepackaged items you are eating.
    I had success on WW but they kept changing the program and how the points were calculated. I found it hard to stick with if I wasn't going to meetings and keeping up with the changes.

    Add me if you'd like. All encouragement and motivation is helpful.
