I agree with shareli that WW's is almost the opposite of LCing and the points you're allowed are based on a low fat diet. Points disappear quickly when you're trying to eat enough fat.

I was still a WW's member when I started LC but I quickly realized that my points were almost gone by dinner and then I would stress out over the fact that I was out of points! So I quit the WW's and started only concentrating on fat, protein and carb counts.

I've recently gone back to counting calories too because I've been stalled and I have a very very slow metabolism and I have found that if I don't track my calories and only rely on feeling full, that I tend to eat too many calories so I'm counting them while I adjust them down a couple hundred per day.

So I can see where points can be a guide, but I dont' think they should be the rule to live by. Concentrate more on the amount of fat, protein and carbs you're taking in each day to make sure you're getting minimum healthy amounts of fat and protein.
