I've lost about 35 pounds with weight watchers, and unfortunately put 10 back on during vacation. I feel like I need a change from the monotony of counting points, and granted, counting calories is not too different, it's something NEW!@$#
And all the RESULTS are so inspiring!

    Welcome! I was on WW before they changed everything. I really like MFP a LOT more, and I lost a lot more weight on MFP. (i reset my ticker, but last year I lost 96 pounds). And MFP is FREE! :)

    I just couldn't do a point system. It worked for my mother in law, but every time I tried I just shook my head and walked away.

    I did it for awhile too. lost 50 pounds and gained back 30.
    I decided I didn't want to spent 40$ a month anymore and came to track my calories here.

    Plus there are a LOT more foods in MFP's database than in WW. I got annoyed constantly having to look up my calories on the net because WW didn't have them listed.

    Thanks for all the great responses! I'm excited to start my journey here. So how have you all been successful? Any tips or tricks for me?

    The only one that I can make is that you have to make little changes over time. I dropped sugary sodas, and the weight started dropping off. Then I limited red meat, and it came off even faster. I bought sandwich and bagel thins, and even more came off. Each change resulted in weight loss, and each weight loss encouraged more changes.
