Hiya,

I am pretty new to all of this but thought I would say hello! I am looking to lose 2 stone and joining SW tomorrow for some extra motivation- any hints, tips advice would be much appreciated!

    The only reason SW works is because it makes people eat a calorie deficit. In my opinion it's easier to ensure success by following the program here than by following the SW program.

    Using MFP you have much more control over your deficit and nutrition. You can choose an exact calorie limit and stick to it. Whereas you could follow the SW plan to the letter but have very different calorie counts depending on what you ate that day. Being able to track macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and protein) is also helpful to ensure you're getting a well balanced diet.
