  • I followed weight watchers and dropped 45 pounds and found the program extremely easy to use, especially once I 'memorized' point values and portions. That said, I much prefer My Fitness Pal because I'm able to track my nutrition, not just calories. The fact that it's FREE, syncs with devices like the FitBit, etc, is just…
