  • Last week was the first week I had a gain using MFP. (MFP showed a loss, not sure why, now I just have more ground to make up). I went over my calorie target every day, and didn't make wise choices in what I did eat, so I knew a gain was coming. When I stepped on the scale, something different happened. Not that I didn't…

  • I lost 120lbs. ninerbuff is right. I ended up getting an abdominoplasty, I was a total apple shape before the loss, and even after my loss, I was still wearing clothes to camouflage my middle. I could not accept it. I don't want to dash any hopes (and I do not know what is the extent of your extra skin), but please do not…

  • You should not be pushed so hard you are getting stress fractures. Then basically be told to put some tape on and suck it up. I remember one episode where the teams had to create a meal under a certain number of calories and the best meal won an advantage. One team used butter because butter tastes better than butter…

  • Woo is pseudoscience masquerading as real science. Links to Natural News & Mercola as "evidence" is always a red flag for woo. Cure all stuff and easy weight loss. Thorsmom gave great examples of woo.

  • I am glad you have been so successful as a transplant/former LT member, @trina1049 ! I am seeing good results as well, adjusting the macros is a great feature. Paying for one year of MFP is the same as one month of WW, so I love that aspect as well. I just got an Apple Watch and am very happy with the integration. I think…

  • I have tried it. I have started it a few times, but never made it past week 3 because it is so BORRRRRing. I think it is a good workout, just doing the exact same thing, day after day wore on me. The good thing is that you can use your own music if you wish, so it mixes it up at least a little.

  • that's why I am here. people are really livid with WW in a way I have not seen before. @robinalexis sometimes there are weeks where we do everything right and the scale does not budge. Hang in there. So many different things can effect the number on the scale. I would wait out another week, if that doesn't work, talk to…

  • It was scary for me to walk away from WW as well, having been a member for >10 years and lost 120lbs on it. I was very successful my first week on MFP, so I feel a lot better about it. My weight loss had stalled. The biggest reason that I think this will work for me because I enjoy having the social media support system.…

  • I don't log condiments, tea, coffee (I log the creamer), spices, diet soda or zero-calorie water enhancers or stevia. If you think about it, what are the odds that you are actually tracking every single calorie accurately? As someone mentioned, a pickle could be a couple of calories, even if the label says 0. I measure…

  • I told my doctor (isn't my doctor anymore) that I wanted to lose weight and he gave me phentermine (appetite suppressant). I lost a lot of weight, but I could not be on it forever (it is basically speed) and my appetite came right back when the prescription ran out. I tried other OTC appetite suppressants and the same…
    in All protein diet? Comment by pitcherday January 2016
  • I am glad you were successful (as was I). I am glad that you like the new plan, a lot of people do. Where is that rule written about desserts only being for special occasions? THAT is what I do not like about the new WW plan... they're telling ME when I should and should not have food. Isn't that really up to me? Is there…

  • Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Kilo. He was being very silly. He had surgery and wasn't supposed to be on the furniture. I got up for 20 seconds and returned to this.

  • I agree @WeaselbeanzMum the new system really pushes for artificial sweeteners. Many of their suggested recipes (especially the dessert choices) are chock full of artificial sweeteners and non-dairy butter substitutes. I always chose butter. It contains milk and salt, so it was worth it. Now only yellow pastes and sprays…

  • @DianePK I also worked for WW. I was a leader for 2 years but around the time of Simple Start. After I quit, it feels so weird to be in meetings and see my old co-workers every day. What other job would you have that you show up to all the time after you left? I don't feel like just a member now, so the meetings weren't…
