i did SW last year and gave it up as it wasn't working for me. have now been doing WW for 6 weeks and lost a stone !
love on WW where tinned (in juice, drained) and cooked fruit is 0pp where as they had to be syn'd on SW ! ..... which i always though was stupid as its still fruit !!
although you don't get much free / 0pp foods on ww i really find it does help with portion control and also you can easily have ready meals rather then having to cook everything fresh !
and on the "naughty" things you get more for your points
e.g on SW you get 15 syns a day and 20 kcal is 1 syn .... on WW you get 29 pp's a day and 40 kcal is 1pp ! .... so although you have to count everything if you are careful with what you have you can still have lots of goodies ..... and then you get an extra 49 a week for a meal out / takeaway or a few bottles of wine ... rather then having to save your syns up for it like on SW !

No matter what ur on I would recommend having yer craving and get it out of the way.. the more ya deprive yerself of something you really really want the harder yer fall will be.. As in when u cave u'll do a hurricane of damage rather than the little bit ya might do by just having it.. Obviously that doesn't mean everyday have that chipper or chinese ya want but we all need and deserve a treat every now n then
Yea have heard that allot with SW.. its great to get things going but once you hit that plateau ya need to move on.. I suppose coz you can eat as many carbs n things as u like there's no restriction and no "reason" to hav a smaller portion..Oh don't get me wrong I haven't deprived myself completely but it just means I have to work doubly hard for the rest of week to counteract one treat and that's what gets me down. Whereas on ww it can be incorporated in yr daily points and no need to cut back for rest of week.
Have done fairly well on sw and had lost over 4 and 1/2 stone but since january have put on a stone by continually losing/putting on same old pounds. Just thinking I need a change
