But what I think you should do before making that decision (this is what I did and it helped me make the decision) is double track for a month or two and then see which system you gravitate towards and prefer.No matter what diet you choose, it’s important to track what you are eating so you can ensure you get fit. I’ll be honest I haven’t seen as many people on the lower side of the scale (I’m talking in RL at the WW meetings) have as much success on WW and I suspect it’s because of that issue. And what I found was that there isn’t enough preciseness in the points system for me to really keep watch over the calories and protein, which are the most important things for me.

There are nuances to that of course - sleep, avoiding foods that are inflammatory to our bodies, eating vegetables, drinking water - but you still have to cut the calories.

No matter the system weight loss is still a function (at its essence) about eating less calories. While I still pay for a WW membership I exclusively track on MFP (I lost over a hundred pounds on WW so it’s definitely a good system, especially if you are heavier) but as I’ve gotten closer to my goal weight I’ve found that the points are not precise enough to tell me much or control much. It seems that’s a low calorie intake.Īlso, just curious what the average calorie intake that people have on weight watchers? For example, I used all my 17 points today and it was approximately 650 calories. My question is, has anybody tracked points on weight watchers and calories on my fitnesspal simultaneously? I ask because I’m noticing a discrepancy in my points vs. My goal is to hit a calorie deficit each day to burn fat. So your girl has a deadline AND incentive. Now, I have a wedding coming up so I’m trying to be strict on portion control and adding in lots of cardio. I think the problem was that I would eat too much zero point foods thinking it was “healthy” but in reality, I was eating too much.

I’ve never had much success on it in the past and my max weight lost has been about 12 pounds. New to reddit and joined just to find inspiration on this sub! Okay, a little background: I just got back on Weight Watchers and I’m doing purple.
