Hi all,
I've been struggling with my weight now for a few years and over the last few weeks I've been watching the scale go up and up. Monday morning I got on the scale and I was in amaze that I had allowed myself to get up to 216 pounds. I've never been this much before. I made a committment to myself at that point that I was going to get my weight under control and get my body back that I used to have. I've very proud of myself in that I have stuck to it so far this week. I've exercised and ate right and counted my calories. I plan to take things week to week and hope that I don't fall off the bandwagon.
Anyway, my reason for posting is because I'm confused about whether to do weight watchers or to count calories. I signed up for the free 7 day trial of weight watchers online and I did an experiement yesterday. The total calories I ate were 1580 which is right where I think I need to be. But on the weight watchers website, it said my points for the day should be 27 but I had 35 which is way too much. So which is more accurate and which would I see better results with?
Here are my stats if anyone is interested:
29 years old, 5'5", I was 216 pounds on Monday, just checked today and I'm 213.8, woohoo!!
Thanks so much for the help.
