Lots of people open threads on this very topic, I know this because I hunted down in desperation the difference between the two. So I wanted to post for people who may be thinking of swapping from SW to WW....DO IT.
3 years ago, I lost 4 stone on slimming world. After one event after another, I managed to put that back on in less than a year and have been struggling with false SW starts ever since. One of the reason I put the weight back on is because, in my opinion, SW teaches nothing about portion control and restriction which is where my issues lie. SW only ever exacerbated my inability to say no. So without slating SW (everyone's different), I have decided to follow the smartpoints ww plan.
It's only part way into week one, but I'm sat here asking myself why I've not done it sooner. The recipe ideas are much more varied than sw standard tomato based stuff. The online tools and point tracker are really useful and I've really enjoyed the fact that the sessions are 1hour long. I can Remember being in a 3 hour sw meeting once, crazy.
The thing I like the most is the emphasis on holistic well-being and I've really started taking that seriously as part of my weight loss journey.
I also have the reassurance that if I'm caught short I can always grab a ww meal or a ww soup... Which are accessible and affordable.
Can't recommend enough, I'm really really enjoying smart points and finally feel postive about the new foods and positivity surrounding ww. Its a breath of fresh air and a much needed transition from sweetner galore and variations of spaghetti bol.
The proof will of course be on the scales... Or will it? Ww now talks about off scale successes and not thinking about blockbuster weight loss. Again, something which is so refreshing to see and is the first step in prolonged and sustained weight control.
