    Im in the same boat as you and i have also 3 stones to loose. I've also tried weight watchers - found it laughable.

    I did weight watchers once too and although I did lose about a stone it becomes very tedious and I agree that counting calories more fulfilling and gives more control. This is a really good site as most of the foods we eat on a day to day basis are in the database already so logging them is a piece of cake (excuse the pun lol) and after a while you kinda start to make the right choices automatically and you can see at a glance where you've gone wrong and right. Viewing other member's food diaries is also quite inspiring and motivational.

    Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me as a friend.

    I did WW a long time ago and while I DID lose weight - I was sooooo hungry ALL the time. I much prefer counting calories. It's far easier. :)
