Welcome, and congrats on your escape :p I had a brief trial on the new WW system, and, like you, found it incredibly restrictive. It seemed to me that the majority of people in the community were filling their day with low-cal fake foods. Good luck with your MFP journey!

You can absolutely do it! Once you get into the routine of it, it will get easier.
-
I've gone for the mid-point in my healthy BMI range, so 133lb (I'm 5ft 6).
-
My face, I think, but other than that it seems pretty even.
-
A friend's wedding in early September. I want to invest in a really nice dress, in what will hopefully be my permanent size!

Bath, England.
-
My cropped-length trousers are not so cropped anymore, as they are sliding down my hips.
-
I can't have sweeteners, so I just got used to having my drinks without any sweetness. I occasionally put a sugar in, just to see, and it just tastes wrong to me now!
-
1500, as MFP has already included a deficit.
-
You might need to change the 'Steps' setting, as it sounds like you have 'Don't track steps' selected.
-
Absolutely; my exercise calories stay at zero until I've done a couple of thousand steps. You would need to be set as sedentary though :)
-
I set myself to sedentary and turned negative adjustments off, so that my adjustment only goes up (I'm never inactive). After a week or two I knew how many extra calories I was likely to get each day.
-
For me, it's because it makes me feel better - more energised - and I can earn extra calories.
-
I'm definitely finding things much easier this time round, and that's because, this time, I made the decision to continue eating the things I enjoy and will be happy eating for the rest of my life.
-
Congratulations! I'm the same height, and I'm now 1lb away from the healthy weight range.
-
I eat some. I'm losing more than my weekly target, so I could definitely eat more of them.

I joined WW Online in February, and cancelled after 2 weeks. I found it incredibly restrictive, due to the way that the plan policed the food I chose (e.g. 7 points for a 250kcal ready-meal), and I was extremely hungry all of the time. I dual-logged in MFP for the second week, and discovered that I was only eating…

I have my goals set to a 1/2 lb loss per week, but if I don't eat my Fitbit calories back I lose around 2 lb per week. If I eat some back I lose around 1lb per week.
-
I love this thread! I still eat exactly the same foods as I did before... pizza, curry, doughnuts, sausage sandwiches, wine, lemonade, chocolate....... I can't see the point in making changes I won't stick with!
-
If it causes you no harm, don't feel guilty about it. I'm sensitive to sweeteners, so I can't drink it without discomfort, but I would if I could!
-
I would change your goal to a 1/2 lb loss per week. I'm finding that, even with my goal set to 1/2 lb, I'm still losing 1-2 lb per week because I don't eat back all my activity (walking) calories.
-
I've found mine to be very helpful; from my experience, the calorie increase it gives me is a lot more accurate than MFP's exercise database. Mine didn't sync for a couple of days, and I felt lost!
-
I was so pleased about the doughnuts!
-
Mine is getting back into the 'healthy' BMI range... I'm very close!
-
Panache's underwired sports bra is the best I have found, and it has an optional racer-back clip for days when I feel like I need a bit more 'securing'. They do depend on your body type though... some bras just come up too high in the centre and under the arms for me, and that's not caused by an incorrect size.
-
I wish they would add a salt field; it's inconvenient to do a conversion each time, and sodium isn't listed on packets here.
-
Yep! I've been on here for years, on and off, but re-started about a month ago.
-
Happy Birthday :smile:, and good luck with your journey!

I'm out tonight, so had mine yesterday; classic sugar and lemon all the way :)
