I'm doing South Beach right now and I lost 13lbs the first three weeks and I'm gradually losing now that I switched to phase 2. I'm currently down 17lbs in two months!

I work in that field ...and WW is better for u and it will not mess u up where as south beach will ..WW is a better program and u can lost weight in the first weeks ... South beach is just one way to mess up your body bc it cuts out carbs completely and that's not good for your body at all ..good luck and just stick with WW!!

I say WW 100%. I don't believe in the diets that make you cut out certain types of foods completely. They may help you lose more weight quicker, but let's face it you're not going to cut out certain foods forever, which is why you're more likely to gain the weight back.
I've been on the points plus for 2 months now and have lost about 13 lbs. My FH lost 20 lbs!

I would say WW, but try My Fitness Pal (dotcom) too... I've been using it and it works GREAT! It's the same concept as WW, minus the meetings. Good luck!

Everything I've read about South Beach basically says that it's just an unrealistic diet where Weight Watchers is a lifestyle change.
The quicker you lose the weight, the more likely and quicker you are to gain it back.
Good luck!

Exactly!
I actually work for WW .. it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. You are more likely to stay on it and be successful .. because ALL food are allowed. You just have to point them! :)
The new plan is even better than previous ones! Fruit is FREE .. try it!
I'm happy to answer any questions you might have ...

Re: South Beach Diet vs WW?
i've done both and love the OLD system for WW. South beach did work but only for a short while the second it stopped i gained it all back in no time. i liked WW cause i wasnt so stressed and felt better too. (not to sound like a commercial)

Yep WW for sure! Lost 20 pounds on it in total...put 5 back on, but now back to it and the gym since my wedding is 5 months away. It is definatley a lifestyle change, not just a diet, so you are more likely to keep the skills of eating healthy and keep the weight off.
yea on your .6! every little bit counts!

Re: South Beach Diet vs WW?
Totally just my opinion but I don't think South Beach is bad for you. It's a lifestyle as well. What I learned from doing South Beach is to be less afraid of fat than sugar. I would say to do a combo of both diets and take the idea of staying away from white flour and sugar (like pasta, rice, white bread, etc) but still do your 'point sytem'
But I'm not a nutritionist or anything, it's just worked really well for me in the last year...
Good luck!!!

WW has better long term results.. if you go off SB then your metabolism is all out of wack and you have to start over.. and IMO its easier to eat on WW even though you get to eat bigger portions on SB.
