The only thing I like about WW is not having to count fruit and veg - I find it a bit tedious measuring it all. When I did WW years ago I lost weight consistently- however on the new plan I was hungry - found it faffy with the free/not free foods and never lost much weight. At least with MFP you know where you stand.

I found the new plan too faffy - MFP is much more flexible - the only bit I do like is the free fruit and veg on WW as it makes measuring easier!

I must admit the two things I liked about WW was the weekly allowance and not having to count veg as I find it tedious weighing it all out - but even though I was following it I never seemed to lose weight - which became really demotivating. If you have MFP premium you can have different calorie goals per day so you could…

Feel free to add! I struggle too! I have currently upped my calories to help stay in control - so far it’s working but every day is a challenge!

Hi - I lost 21lbs this year on SW - I still make the recipies, eat plenty of fruit and veg however I like the flexibility of MFP - i didn’t like the meetings either!!

I upgraded and paid the annual fee. I found the adds too annoying - I decided that over the year it was worth it as I plan to track every day. Personal choice really.

I did WW over 10 years ago - lost weight and managed to stick to it. I gave it a try with the new pro points and really struggled! I was hungry all the time maxed out my daily and weekly points. Which the psychologically made me feel like I had blown the plan. I find calories better - you know exactly where you are. I also…

@Nevadaden so far so good! I have planned my meals out for the week! I have been staying within my calorie goal set - I have also been working out! I just need to remain consistent!

I can go weeks and months without a binge then bang I am back on that roller coaster! The last couple of weeks have been tough - the last one was on Saturday - long draining day at work - Cooked dinner for everyone else and I sat and ate tubs of icecream biscuit cake then anything else left in the house!! Sunday I said…

If you go to a gym they should be able to do you a program. The weights in my gym are quite limited - I tend to do 40 mins cardio and 20 mins weights and core - but I tend to look online for ideas, I used to also do body pump at my gym which is a weights class - that helped with posture etc.

I have struggled with this for years! At the start of this year I was at my heaviest weight in 20 years! I starting slimming world and that helped me loose 21 lbs. I thought I knew what I was doing and stopping going to group / slipped back into old habits so I am back at group now but also tracking on MFP as I am…

I have tried both and for some reason I struggled with WW to lose weight! Pros of WW - unlimited fruit and veg saves weighing and tracking. I also liked the weekly allowance however this was also a con as I would use them all the first few days then be starving the others! Atleast with MFP you know where you are each day,…

Hi, I lost 17lbs on Sw and started to plateau so came back to MFP - SW drives you to lower calorie foods therefore you can eat more and still loose weight , it's good if you don't want to count everything you eat.

My Fitness pal seems to set 1200 calories if you want to lose 2lbs per week. For most people this is too low especially if you are exercising. I am a similar weight and height and I am on over 1700 per day. Feel free to add -

I find tracking helps - I am at a point where I have binge dieted for so long I no longer really know how to eat - I have increased my calories to 1800 and I work out 5 times a week. I try and eat healthy foods plenty of fruit and veg and build treats into my allowance.

I have gone premium - it is less annoying and I plan to be on here for at least a year. If I joined a slimming group I would pay monthly and I'll probably save from not eating out so much etc. I guess you have to weigh it up for yourself!

Exercise helps me. If I don't exercise I am more prone to over eat. Tracking also helps even when I go over.

Hi you can add me if you like - I am 1650 with an open diary for friends. What I have found with this and past failings if my calories are too low - I go off plan and fall off the wagon - so I have increased my allowance and hopefully with exercise will make progress this time!

Hi back onit after the Christmas break! I have about 50lbs to lose MFP is the only thing that really works for me - so I really need to stay focused and track every day - no matter what I eat! Feel free to add - uk based open diary for friends!
