Looking for solid advice

I came to MFP from Weight Watchers because their website was changing and was crazy. I'm doing okay here...I love that I can find any food I want without trouble and I've lost 2lbs in 2 weeks! However, I'm worried that I don't understand too much about the whole macros thing. I get eating within my calories, but have a hard time always eating within my macros. Weight Watchers just revamped their program and includes all the macros in calculating their points values. I feel like that might help, but it might not. You can still eat free vegetables and fruits with no "points" cost. I tried to cancel Weight Watchers and they offered me a free month....I got sucked back in again!! I feel like I should stay with MFP but I don't know what it is that weight watchers has this grip that keeps pulling me back. I don't often even do well with WW because I find it hard to stay within the points. However, I do stay within my calories. I think I answered my own problem, just looking for someone to make it sound good from the outside. Thanks!!

Also if you've got a free month I'd just double enter eg on WW site and on here and see which method you prefer
Here you have to weigh your fruit and veg ...cos calories0 -
The problem with WW is that they don't really teach you about what you're actually eating. MFP is great because you learn how to set up your own nutrition plan and be accountable to what you're actually eating. I would stick here. By far, the most important factor is calories. After that, hitting appropriate macros can help you get better progress. Just keep doing your best!0
