I loved their system however in my opinion I couldn't count points for the rest of my life. I like tracking on MFP better cause I just put in that I had 2 hard boiled eggs and it counts everything for me. : ) I just make sure at the end of the day I am close to target with my calorie, protein, and fiber targets. : ) Same results as WW tracking, but easier in my opinion. Though I suppose WW has online tools you can use now too that calculate your Points (tm) total for you etc. So not too different. I loved the weekly meetings and topics for the week. I always felt renewed after support group. I don't get that from my WLS support group.<br />Thanks for dispelling the rumor. I hadn't heard it, but I can for sure understand why some may think that. Forums I used to visit that were pro-WW were very anti WLS. /frownCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445662188443874065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-70162829598439235582013-08-01T13:37:11.402-04:002013-08-01T13:37:11.402-04:00I've found WW so helpful for tracking in the p...I've found WW so helpful for tracking in the past. I'm not sure if you've done this lately, so if you have just direct me to the post, but what is a typical food day like for you lately (obviously not a Fat Girl Friday...loved that post!)jennyr1222https://www.blogger.com/profile/09716754550641172002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-5090016966897479582013-08-01T07:55:29.034-04:002013-08-01T07:55:29.034-04:00I hadn't heard those rumors either -- too bad ...I hadn't heard those rumors either -- too bad they're going around because WW and other places can offer great support for people losing weight and maintaining weight loss. And weighing like that...can you imagine? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have as many members as they do if that's what they did.tzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586960868908412491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-317907107525648592013-08-01T05:12:36.684-04:002013-08-01T05:12:36.684-04:00They can also join TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly)...They can also join TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), which is far less expensive, btw. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-37755008424581295882013-07-31T22:52:46.612-04:002013-07-31T22:52:46.612-04:00I had never heard either of those rumors.

And paying each week to gain a pound, lose a few ounces, etc. was so frustrating. It works for like everyone in the world, but me :(Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076912971009055017noreply@blogger.com
