    I'm thinking about it. Do you find it easier to follow if you do it online or by going to the meetings?

    I did it for a short while last year and have signed back up today, ready to start tomorrow. I've been messing around with calorie counting for too long now and need a fresh approach!

    I personally find meetings to be more motivating. You have more of reason to kind of stick with it all week because you weigh in- in front of someone, not just yourself. To each their own (:

    I have an honest question....what is the difference between WW and counting calories?

    It costs money and has less flexibility/customisation.

    WW's helped me learn the basics about food. I couldn't do it just by counting calories when I started out because I thought that meant only salads. So of course I never lasted. I joined WW's in Nov. 2009 and it has honestly changed my life. I'm one of those people that need that accountability and I defiantly got it from the meetings. I highly recommend WW's. Especially if your just starting on your WLJ.

    I was about to ask the same thing as it seems counting points looks on the surface the same as counting calories. I am not bashing but to me it does not make much sense. Is it just because maybe your paying for it you feel the need to adhere to it more?

    I think paying helps to push you more. But thats not all it is. When I started trying to loose weight I had no clue where to start and WW's helped me learn about what food is and how I can look at it better. I like it because everyone at the meetings has the same struggles as me and they're there to help.

    You have to realize what we're paying for... accountability, someone we can talk to.. in person, and knowledge. WW teaches you why you need to eat certain foods.. not just tell you- here's a calorie goal eat whatever you want until you've reached it. WW teaches you proportion control, and what food groups to eat and how much of them a day.

    I will be doing it at home, on my own along with this site program. I've been doing it off and on so I know what my ranges are and have last years point info to keep me on track. Using WW more of a guide than a hard core program for my intended purposes. I need to focus more on activity than food.

    Do you track your food both online with WW site and on this site then? Just curious. I'm looking at all my options right now...
