| I don't like WW diet. I like counting points, but WW use sat fat and calories to calculate points, which means that anything high in good fats, like avocados, are v. high in points, but anything high in sugar (despite being very addictive), can be low in points. Therefore, they would prefer me to eat a whole packet of pink n whites (crappy low fat wafer biscuits with no nutritional value at all), than one avocado.
At least with calorie counting, you can choose what to spend your calories on. I choose to cut out sugar, but don't buy low fat / diet things as they tend to be full of cr*p.
On the other hand, I loved the fact veg are free on WW, so you can have soups and other healthy things without getting obsessed with 6 kcal here etc.
I can't report my successes with calorie counting here, because I've only been doing it 3 days, but I've done WW on and off for years (was a leader for a few months, but hated pushing people into WW, when quite frankly, any diet works, it's whether its right for you at that time). I lost 4 stone with WW once. Put it all back on again tho.
You can change between WW and CC without any problems, so you could do a couple of weeks of each and compare the weight loss (a month may be more accurate but less motivating!). One way to keep you motivated!
Good luck - you've done so well already! - and congratulations on your wedding!
