Stay with MFP and save yourself money. I did WW but attended the meetings. I used their e-tools to track my food and tried joining in on the forums but it's hard to break through the 'clicks'. I'd post questions and would rarely get responses. I think the MFP members are much for friendly, much more willing to answer…

I'm 37 so not quite middle aged but getting there. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

Welcome! I made the switch about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It's taken some adjusting because I'm so used to thinking in terms of points and not calories but I'm getting there. Feel free to add me as a friend, perhaps we can encourage each other as we continue on our journey. :)

Welcome! Congrats on your weight loss success through such trying times in your life. I've been using MFP for about a week and a half, maybe two weeks now and I really like it. Logging the calories and exercise is easy and the people I've met are so friendly and supportive. Feel free to add me, we can help motivate each…

Me me me even if I have to go by myself! One of the guys in the movie is also in True Blood and he's hot as hell!

Maybe she's jealous because you are changing your life and she isn't? Who knows. Sit your friend down and have a heart-to-heart with her. Tell her you're changing your life for you and would like her support, not snarky comments.

I"m in the same boat. My boyfriend tries to support me but a lot of time it ends up sounding like a lecture to me. I'll send you a friend request. Anyone else, please feel free to add me. :) Together we can do this!

I'm coming from Weight Watchers and they always taught us that you have to "eat your points" in order to lose. I'm using that lesson and 'eating my calories' that MFP gave me. If you're eating under what MFP gave you, the you may want to eat more but healthy filling foods. Fruits, veggies, yogurt, etc. that may help you…

I'm 5'6" and MFP gave me 1,570 calories because my goal is to lose 2lbs a week (I have 100+ to lose), I set my exercise to two days a week for 30 minutes and I have an office job so I spend most of the work day sitting at my computer. If you feel like you're starving, you perhaps need more filling foods like fruits and…

I'd also like to have you for a friend for support. I joined only a couple of days ago so I'm also looking to build a group of supportive friends who are on a similar journey.

Do beat yourself up too much. We didn't wake up one morning and look in the mirror and say "Dear God, what have you done to me?!" We've put weight on over time and it's going to take time to lose it and get healthy. It's hard to say no when your family is eating and you're not that hungry. If/when that happens again, have…

I joined last night and I'm also looking to add as friends. I need all the motivation I can get. Feel free to add me!

There used to be a show on PBS called Sit and be Fit. I don't know if they still show it but look into it. I remember flipping through the channels and watching it a few minutes at a time when I was a kid thinking 'what a waste!" but now I could use some sit and be fit sessions myself. lol The aquafit class mentioned in…

Wow!! You are an inspiration and you look amazing!

Hi! I'm new here too. I've been doing Weight Watchers for a couple of years and I'm just burned out with it. The meetings, the points, etc, etc. I thought I'd try something different. I also have 100+lbs to lose and can use every bit of motivation I can get. Feel free to add me as a friend. :) One quick question, when I…
