    My post got cut off. A few years ago I did Weight Watchers and lost 10 pounds in the first month. It seems tracking points worked better than counting calories. Has anyone else done WW and had better results? :'(

    It's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. WW's point system (which replace the exchange based plan) was supposed to make it easier to maintain a deficit without directly counting calories. This was good for the time period (90s) before food databases were easy to access.

    The revised point system has some detractors because of the adjustments WW made to encourage fruits and vegetables (i.e. point free items), especially since certain fruits can add up in calories.

    You can get results with WW just as well as with directly counting calories with MFP, it just matters which you prefer and how well you work the system.

    Do you weigh all your food on a food scale? and dont use any cups, spoons or serving sizes?

    I don't, but I will start weighing food on a scale.
