Down 6 pounds!

After a week and a half of doing WW, I am down 6 pounds (to 257).  That feels pretty good!  Their new Points-Plus system is odd -- it doesn't seem very different from the old system, but the fact that you don't include calories in the calculation makes it harder to estimate it in your head.  Also, their Android apps are HORRIBLE.  They crash all the time, you have to re-log in every time you open the app, and the scanner app doesn't seem to be able to send results to the tracking app, even though it claims to be able to.  Their database is still really small, too.  Unfortunately for me, the points tracking system seems to work too well for me to not use it.

One app I have found that's actually a lot more useful is MyFitnessPal: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/  Their app is free, as is access to their database.  They have a thermodynamics-based system with target caloric intake, and they include exercise as a way to get more points.  Might be worth a try if you're looking for something free to play with.
