So I know that everyone has their opinions, and I'm just here for some advice. I have kind of posted about this before but I'm making myself crazy in my head so I'm posting again. I've been going on a teeter totter (real words?? haha) ... ok so. I was on Weight Watchers for like...4-5 years, back and fourth, on and off, lose and gain. For those who don't know, Weight Watchers gives you a daily "points" allowance, as well as a weekly allowance. You also are expected to eat approximately 4-5 servings of fruit and vegetables per day which cost you "no points" but are already assumed into your daily points allowance.
That being said...I signed back up for Weight Watchers about 2 weeks ago and have had a loss...however I'm at a confusing point here. On WW you have a weigh in day, and then your points "reset." You get that extra weekly allotment again. Friday is my weigh in day so my extra points reset...then I went away for the weekend and used all my daily points and my weekly (plus a few extra). Now I have no weekly points and I find myself hungry but don't have any points left for my day. Essentially here is where I'm looking for advice/help/whatever you can say to me without a bias...I feel like MFP helps me to keep track and also lets me eat a little more when I am hungry, but I feel like Weight Watchers helps me eat a little more healthy because they give you check boxes for your daily fruits and veggies and milk servings that you should have everyday.
BASICALLY all this rambling is just saying I don't know what to stick with. Anyone ever been on both plans and then made a decision? I feel kind of embarrassed to say I'm on weight watchers but have no issues admitting to my fitness pal. I'm just so confused of what would be better for me, and tracking on both at the same time just makes me even more crazy. I'm looking for some nice (new friends) with some weight loss experience, to help maybe guide me towards what would be a better choice to track with. Ohh and, I only am an online member with Weight Watchers, it's about $19/mo.
Thank you in advance for reading my rant and your help!! :)
