I am thinking about using their point system to help me determine how much food I can eat per day and still lose weight along with how much exercise I need to achieve this.
I've kept track of what I eat and have even counted the calories to no avail and hoping this will help me along a bit.
Thanks.

Between 600-800 calories per pound, with some moderate exercise, they all lost weight.

I decided to join WW last month and do MWL at the same time, but so far, I've found myself gravitating to unhealthier, refined vegan food. And since WW assigns a lot of points to starches, even the healthy, whole grain varieties, I'm eating less of those than I was before.
I think I was frustrated that I wasn't losing weight following MWL, but I wasn't following it to the letter, either.
Since I'm signed up for 3 months of WW, I'm going to try and make the most of it and use it to record what I eat.
Thanks again.

Lost weight upto what point? If your starting weight is high, it is easy to lose weight.
