I have done both, and really, they both accomplish the same thing...

The points system really is just counting calories in a most easy and efficient way...

I liked them both, and they both work...I have had the most success with counting calories, but thats because of how I work and think...

Try one for a while, if it doesnt work, switch to the other...That would be my suggestion...

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Ok girls and guys.* I would like to know which works best.* Counting calories, or counting points.* Whos had the most success doing what?

Truthfully, both work. When I was younger, I counted calories and fat*grams, and lost quite a bunch. HOWEVER, the WW also takes fiber into account and that is so important. I suggest the WW if you can do it. Otherwise, just count your calories, fiber, and fat grams and you'll basically be working the same program. Hope I was able to help.

I prefer the Weight Watchers cuz it's a bit more controlled and somewhat more disciplined.* And if you go to meetings, you have that much more support.
