I am back to calorie counting after a brief foray with Weight Watchers points. To make a long story short, I don't like how they figure them - higher points for healthy fats, lower points for processed foods with fake fiber added. It didn't make sense. Calories make sense!

I am making a fresh start tomorrow, dusting out some old books I have, particularly one called Eucalorics that I bought a few years ago.

Glad to meet you all!

And we're very glad to have you here!

Good luck!

Welcome back to the numbers that make sense

counting calories has always worked for me! good luck!

I was in the same boat!!! I tried Weight Watchers again and again but kept giving up because either I was:
1) sick of attending meetings
2) annoyed with the whole points system
3) disgusted by their endorsement of prepackaged highly processed snacks (I honestly thought it was ok to eat the 1-2 point snacks on a daily basis until I finally looked at the ingredients)

Calorie counting is much more straight forward and simple...plus, it's FREE! I've only been calorie counting for 2 1/2 months but I finally feel like this is something I can stick to.

I can tell you that calorie counting does work! And unfortunately, whenever I abandon calorie counting, my weight heads in the wrong direction. I really believe in counting calories.
