Which is best WW or SW

[JustAskingForAFriend]

I need to do something. And I need to kick up to ass to do it.
Have always had weight issues.. From being Overweight to starving to lose weight or taking laxative if I eat to get rid of to food quick. This made me I'll and too skinny. I got out of this habit alone and no one knew
Thankfully that was a few yrs ago. And I wouldn't now as I'm happy with my life (that was my way of Being in control when my life was shit) .

I'm now happy, met a fab man. We have a baby and wedding date set.
Now I'm about 2st overweight to what I'd like to be. I hate it. But I honestly can't get the motivation to go it alone.
It don't help when dp is 'I love you how you are, or whatever size you are'

Since giving up work, due to no childcare. I eat through boredom. I do take baby out most days. And try not to use the car at all. Walk lots of hills etc. But I eat crap.
.
I want to join a group to help me kick start. Wondering whats best?

For example today I had weetabix and banana for breakfast.. Got bored and eaten 4..yes 4 pick up bars. A bag of crisp. 2 of DS sweets.. And a bloody cookie., ( I don't need telling how bad this is, I know)

I then didn't want lunch.

Dinner / tea is Bolognese.

Dp brought mince pies and no doubt he'll serve them up and I won't resist.

A group I know will help as the thought of getting in scales and them saying I've gained would mortify me z and pointless paying for groups to cheat iyswim

Both are good. The group is the thing that really works I think.

Anecdotally, the difference is WW does portion control and SW does a lot of substituting.

I do SW and am liking it cos a) I can eat massive portions of "free" foods and I am essentially a greedy mare, and b) I'm not a gourmand so eating Laughing Cow Light cheese triangles and 0% Coconut yoghurt in curry is fine by me. But people who value lovely ingredients would probably hate it.

But I'm never hungry and have lost loads.

I lost 2 stone on sw but found I've really struggled for the last 18 months so switched to ww

Their app is so much better and I'm much more focused

Definitely find ww stricter but I need that! There's a groupon deal at the moment that's about £18 for 3 months

Here's a link that would get you an extra month added on too

I've lost 8lb in 3 weeks on ww so far, find it easier as less cooking and can even have thinks like bagels, crumpets without too many points

It's swings and roundabouts. I love SW, I've lost over 2 stone so far, and it suits me to be able to eat whenever I'm hungry and have huge meals to boot. But I've got a friend who tried it and hated the whole thing, she actually gained weight on it too.

WW is stricter, more rigid rules, and everything is weighed/measured/counted.

SW is less rigid, more options for eating out, and most food is unlimited quantities - they work more on substituting lower calorie/more filling foods for any high calorie/'empty calorie' foods.

I’d say go for SW if you have a big appetite or are a snacker. Or go for WW if you have a small appetite and don’t snack much.

Ww for the app alone, I can't quite understand why sw is sooo far behind in the app universe!
