Yes!! Planning makes a difference. I have lost 20 lbs on Weight Watchers and am just now starting to track calories on MFP. But I can tell you that when I pre-track my day the way you suggest, I stay within my daily points on WW. When I don't, I tend to go over. Now, it's not always possible--the weekends are more up in…

That's what makes sense to me, especially since I have a fancy new HRM that is supposed to also track strength training (Polar FT80). New to MFP so trying to get the hang of this. Have lost 19.6 on since May 1st on WW but really need a better sense of my macros so turning to MFP. Thanks everyone..have a great weekend!!!

fcp, that's my situation...I leave at 7:15 and get home around 6:30. By the time I make dinner, clean up and we've got the kids (5 and 2) ready for bed, it's 8:30. I have trouble sleeping as it is, so I'm not about to exercise then. I've started getting up early in the morning and walking so that I'm back before they wake…

Ok, so now you know the numbers, I suggest you then go into MFP Goal custom settings and change daily calorie goal to 1955, carbs 40, prot 30, fat 30, and fiber 30. So, this takes into account your exercise so you shouldn't have to eat back any extra calories UNLESS (as in this example 1955-1500= 455) you burn over 455…

So are you setting MFP at 1400 and eating burned calories on both days? Or are you eating cardio calories on non-workout days and the higher NROLW number on workout days? Thanks.

It does! I know that they now have any "Any Store" option and that you can change your plan every month. But I will also check out build a meal!!!

I also don't know how you would count the 6th serving, given that all WW written materials and online tracker have 0 PP fruits and vegetables listed as--you guessed it--0 PP. Plus, the GHGs are for a MINIMUM of 5 servings a day.

There is actually a ceiling. Fruit and Vegetables are 0 pts only for the first 5 servings, then you are to calculate the point values and log it. They really push the fact that you cannot eat unlimited, say, bananas and still stay within points _____ There is NO ceiling. All fruits, except avocado, and most veggies…

I've been doing it since May 1st. I've lost 17.6 lbs, which averages to 1.1 lb a week. I get 26 DPs. I try to stick to that M thru F lunch, and only dip into my WPs on the weekend (Fri night through SU). We tend to eat out at least twice every weekend, so I want the flexibility there. I have not eaten my APs because I was…
