Weight Watchers or Slimmimg World?

[stopthenoise]

Ok. After discovering I am now the heaviest I've ever been I really need to do something about it. To get to my ideal weight, or at least the weight I was when I met DP 8 years ago, I need to lose 4 stone. I don't want any complicated calorie counting or anything too 'diety'. I've done WW before, about 10 years ago, and quite enjoyed it. Didn't feel too strict and was quite easy to follow but I think it has changed now. Never tried SW so don't really know how it works. Are they pretty much the same? Which is best? Any advice greatly appreciated.

I have given up the idea of going to WW or SW and have opted to do myfitnesspal.com instead. (I did try WW but got fed up with the time taken going to the meeting and the guilt of not going!)
I use it on my iphone and it has a barcode scanner. If you are not eating something with a barcode you enter the thing you have eaten and there are plenty of options. I also use it on the pc.

Of course if you find going to a regular place to weigh in and get group support then myfitnesspal probably isn't for you.

Thanks winky. I do prefer to go to the meetings, if I have to stand in front of someone to get weighed every week it makes me try a bit harder! I have looked at online programmes before but I know I wouldn't stick to it.

Sw for me, I like to eat big portions and I like to not have to count points for every single thing I put in my mouth apart from fruit and veg.

Ww is good when your heavy and you get lots of points, but as they get reduced, I found it really hard.
