Love love love this last paragraph!

I’ve just cancelled my weight watchers membership after realising that I’d essentially been the same weight for years, gaining and losing the same few pounds over and over. My advice is to scrap any diets that you have to pay for as they are making money from failure. Since switching to calorie counting, I have lost weight…

I’m in East Sussex and wanting to lose a stone and a half. Ideally before Christmas as well.

I’ve been double tracking for a couple of weeks to see what was going on for me. I’m going to give up WW points based on this as I’ve found that I’ve eaten between 9 and 16 points over my 30 point allowance every day. I’ve eaten all my fitness points as well and weeklies and last week was overall -29 weekly points. But I…

OP. Please go to a doctor. You sound very close to having an eating disorder and it’s concerning. You’ve made multiple posts all saying the same thing. You are not overweight and are actually losing more will place you in the underweight category. You are restricting calories and exercising a lot. Your period is starting…

I like the support element of WW. But I’m now ignoring points and just counting calories. I’ve been double tracking for a couple of weeks... This week just gone I’ve been between 9 and 16 points over my 30 points allowance every single day and yet been just under my calorie goal every day (1360). I’ve earned and used…

Be careful. At 5,6 115lbs is the lowest “healthy” weight within the BMI range. Even with a small frame, 110 would be very very light.

Bananas? A couple of squares of chocolate? What about upping fat content in terms of oils, butter, full fat milk, yoghurt? A couple of glasses of wine every now and then? 😜

5,6 here. I currently weigh 176. Ultimate goal would be 147 but I don’t think I’ve weighed that since I was a kid! I was 156 at my wedding 10 years ago and looked and felt slim so somewhere between 147 - 160?

A calorie is just a calorie is just a calorie though. The nutritional value might be different but ultimately calories themselves are all equal. I found that WW disproportionately penalised “bad” foods. Yes you could count them in but it would mean you couldn’t eat much/ anything else all day. Whereas in terms of…

How are you getting on @jlsmith4439 ?

Feel much less restricted too which is odd since WW feels very free

I think it’s easy to do either or both of these. Finding very interesting how much more I’m eating for mycalories than I could for my points.

Yes quite possibly. Without having been counting calories it’s hard to tell. I stuck within my weekly points though (deficit is supposedly built in) and earned but didn’t use fitness points.

Yep. I’m double checking everything on other calorie counting sites, weighing everything, tracking everything, making sure as accurate as I can be. And inputting the exact same into WW. I have no doubt that on WW I eat under 1000 calories on a “normal” day. Regardless of losing weight, that’s not enough.

Currently dual tracking on here and on my WW app and am shocked at how few calories one gets to eat on WW. Today, as an example, my breakfast, lunch and morning coffee/biscuit has been 764 calories, leaving me with plenty for dinner tonight. I’ve tracked this on WW... and have zero points left for today. I’ve eaten all 30…

I’ve eaten much much more since switching to mfp (with dual tracking I’m daily over by 8-10 points on WW.)

Sort of. I’ve gained and lost the same few pounds over and over again for months. I was finding that eating my “weeklies” on a weekend would mean that I’d gain 3-5 pounds over those 3 days. Then would lose that again over the next 4 days... and therefore no overall weight loss. I’m shocked by how few calories a “normal”…

Brilliant! I’m really up for having people to support/keep me accountable!

Awesome! Well done! Really hoping this clicks with me too.

I’ve just made the same decision... switching over to here after a year of overall not losing any weight. In fact, I’m about 5lbs heavier than last year. I just kept losing and gaining the same few pounds over and over again. I eat (reasonably) well and run 4 times a week. I think I wasn’t eating enough on ww... doing a…
