I was on weight watchers too...I actually still am signed up but have been using MFP. I wanted to see how Smart points worked but I feel as though the new ideas are the same ones that are here on MFP. The whole being able to eat fruit and not having anymore GHG for me is crazy. I could eat so much fruit in one day. What I…

That's amazing...@queenliz99 thank you so much!!

@bcjan562 ...Did you get the e-mail from the CEO? Before I read it, I almost felt bad, like maybe I should go back there...then I read it! He just says thanks for your patience. Doesn't even offer anyone any type of compensation...I think everyone should have gotten 2 weeks free because of their mess. They offered it to me…

I did it just now...cancelled Weight Watchers! I have been on and off for the past 6 years...I'd like to start the new year fresh with something new, that I am not embarrassed about and that I can do for a lifetime. I think MFP is the way to go! :)

Comforting to know I'm not the only one. Since that fabulous website over at WW works so well, I can't change my weigh in day. My plan was to try the new SmartPoints system before really making a decision, however, my WI day is on a Friday so my SmartPoints won't reset until December 11, the same day that my plan renews.…

@dogwalk I totally agree with what you're saying. For me, it's a little different because I do weight watchers just online. It's almost as if I'm doing what I'm doing on MFP but paying for it on WW. I initially thought it would help because the points make things count differently towards what you have for the day.…

@Living360 ...I've heard a lot of things from a lot of people that weight watchers has taught people to eat to their plan only. Therefore, people who go off or achieve lifetime often gain back weight. They are a business, so to keep everyone at lifetime getting their offerings for free would mean they would essentially…

My renewal day is the 11th - and my points do not reset until then, so I won't even get to try SmartPoints before my decision. I know they're trying to incorporate less saturated fat, and less sugar. A poster from the UK said that the candy they like has doubled in points. I skipped ahead in my plan and I usually get 26…

@motivccess it's fine... laughed at your first post! @GuitarJerry I've been looking at food that way because that's what WW has always essentially taught us. At least being an online member I've gotten that. However, I've always wondered why, natural unmessed around with peanut butter would be more points than low fat…

Me too - could use lots of support and will try to help support - add me as a friend if you'd like!! :)

I didn't mean partying on the weekends, but what you are saying is right ... I meant like, I can't always plan what I'm going to eat all day everyday and 21 day fix requires you to do that. I can still eat within my calorie goal for the day without all that planning...that is what I meant by life and parties happening.

It's amazing how much knowledge you all have and how helpful you all are!! I know it sounded crazy to say that I needed someone to tell me what to do, but I said that because I feel like WW has this mental hold on me for some reason. They make everything look so enticing and I know that's all part of their gimmick to make…

@thespringbuck‌ I noticed your post and was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me a little. I've posted before about the differences between weight watchers and my fitness pal. I thought that with my fitness pal I was eating the "wrong" foods (I was staying within my macros for the most part) and so I went back to…

Thanks for all the responses so far - great suggestions/comments! :) Those who are more experienced with MFP, is it really calorie in/calorie out? I have a fitbit and it is linked to MFP, so it tells me throughout the day how many more calories I can eat, should I choose to. I'm also looking for some new friend requests…

^^This 'Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated' http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819925-the-basics-don-t-complicate-it Thank you. I needed that!!

Isn't that the point of having friends? I am not understanding the difference other than one is private and one is public. Still not trying to be negative. Just trying to understand what you are wanting. [/quote] When I was on WW the message boards had different "groups." They had different titles, and they had the same…

Ya that is the point...but I was talking more about making a thread for the same group of "friends" to go to everyday to talk to one another and support one another.

Let me clarify -I would like to start or join a board like that here on MFP. Who's interested?!?

I'm trying to find some good buddies on MFP too! Feel free to add me!!

Hey - I have about 50 lbs to lose as well! I have a goal set to lose 24 lbs by beginning of March as I have a hair appointment then and I'd like to have lost weight and do something different with my hair for reaching my goal! - I was teetering on the idea of maybe joining weight watchers again, however, maybe if I could…

Great! Thank you so much!

You can link your FitBit with MFP. Once linked track your food on MFP and your exercise on FitBit and it will automatically link with one another. It's actually really nice to have that.

Great - Thanks so much! I think I am going to stick with the suggestions from MFP and then see what happens once I hit goal.

Great question! I've wondered the same thing and I've also wondered if we could possibly only see the food items from MFP first - and then ones that have been added in by users! I'm looking forward to answer as well! Thanks for the original post!

I'm new as well - just started a couple of weeks ago. It took a little bit but I'm really starting to get the hang of it! Good luck to you!

I just started MFP about a week ago. I'd be interested to know if you could delete them as well. :smile:

I just started too and I'd love some motivation and support!! :flowerforyou:

I have the flex and I love it. I actually just ordered some new bands for it to match with other outfits! I like it because I can get an idea of where I am by tapping on it and it shows me what percentage I'm at for the day. Also, it syncs with MFP and I can get all up to date info on my phone or online. I really like it a…

Very helpful! Thanks to you as well! :smile:

Somewhat simple enough I guess! Thank you! :smile:
