Does anybody know how many calories that 30 smartpoints is equal to? It really doesn't work that way, although I wish it did. The algorithm is pretty sophisticated, and items with identical calories can have vastly different SPVs based on varying sugar, saturated fat and protein content. Also, I had DSP of 30 too, but my…

Haven't updated the spreadsheet, but am down about 7 lbs to 154 since switching from tracking using the WW app to MFP. The first few weeks were slow going, but a great opportunity to learn what small changes I needed to make for success. Hoping to be 150 by my brother's Bahamas wedding August 20

Hi all! Wanted to share what for me was a big 'aha' moment. I was facilitating a WW meeting focused on thinking 'beyond the scale ' when I realized that I've somehow slipped back into the old habit of allowing the scale to dictate my mood. I had gotten away from that years ago, but as I struggle to prevent regain I've…

After several weekend -setbacks I'm finally admitting, if only to myself, that my lack of good scale-results is completely self imposed. My big win for this week is "taking accountability " and accepting the consequences of the choices I make to self-sabotage. Weighing in at 159.8 today (-1.2 from the start). Working on…

So I am working with a Personal Trainer who strongly suggested I should be eating more calories than MFP suggests due to my activity level (I am a part-time group exercise instructor). Is anyone eating some of the calories 'earned' through exercise? If so, curious to know how it has impacted your scale results. Thanks!

Went from 161 to 159.8 this week, even with a disastrous weekend .... I'll take it! Congrats to everyone else who posted their results ... good, bad, or ugly, we're all in this together! :D

MichelleP31, I love WW smartpoints! I feel like a professional dieter lol, because I've been on every diet known to mankind! WW teaches you how to eat real food, in the real world ... love that! I lost 44 pounds 10 years ago, and only now am starting to struggle with weight maintenance. Am using MFP to pinpoint better why…

Thank you MichelleP31. Your comment about 0 points value foods is insightful. I am noticing my portions for these foods, and also for protein are more appropriate (smaller) now that I have a budgeted # of calories. Will have to pay more attention to treats as well in light of what you'very shared.

1.2 pounds down is a great result! WW sets an expectation of losing 1/2 to 2 pounds per week, on average. Keep up the good habits of tracking and you will continue to be successful!

Check out the WW online shopping list (or even the app under "Foods" - Meat & Poultry / Meat Substitutes / Fish & Seafood ) for a comprehensive list of protein rich food options. I know I had to experiment a little to find those I now love. Good luck!

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experiences, and congrats on finding your way back to "self-care". I'm a WW at goal lifetime member and totally see the benefits of tracking SmartPoints values AND calories via MFP. SPVs definitely get you picking healthier foods, and over time you learn how to eat more balanced. MFP…

So happy to find some WW peeps on here! I'm an at-goal (for 10 + yrs) who also happens to work for WW. I know it works ... if you follow the program! Problem is I turned 50 last year, and lost some two important 'M's .... Motivation & Motabolism, lol. Looking to this new way of tracking to find them! Friend me for mutual…

MaxT370, your spreadsheet is a terrific idea! I am technologically challenged, lol, but would love it if the link to the spreadsheet automatically appeared at the top of this message board. Any thoughts on how to make that happen? Thanks for creating the sheet!

How perfect that I just joined the FitPal community, and happened upon your message board just today! This is exactly what I need to kick-off summer with some accountability and support. I'm all in, and thank you for supplying the framework! SW (2005): 188 (Lost 40 pounds on WW, but have regained 11) CW: 161 GW:150

I remind myself of how far I've come, and that what I'm doing is for life. In life there are always ups and downs ... you just have to learn from all of it and keep moving forward.

Credit: continuing to love myself beyond that darn # on the scale! Gratitude: for being able to hike in Vermont for 3 days without quitting or feeling terribly sore!
