I am still not sure which program is better so might continue a few more days then decide.
Conquer Cravings: 15/22
Carb Conscious: 21/26 Sugar Smart: 21/30
Not sure what you mean by "better" Cathy. I think it really is just a matter of personal preference based on your eating style. I do think anyone will have a better chance of success if they pick the one that closely aligns with their eating style. For instance if you are a carb lover, then Carb Conscious (PP) is going to have you eating the walls, but that is why they give you more Weeklies on it, to use if you need them.

DebDoesWW I started on carb conscious or it was called PP back then. I had no trouble sticking to 26 points. Now that I eat differently when I did try it again I used all my maintenance points. That would be fine except I am about 5 lbs higher than I would like. I don’t really seem to lose on any of the plans right now but that is me being a little sloppy in what I eat at times. Right now I am feeling more comfortable on sugar smart because I have no problem getting in my daily points. After I lose the 5 lbs sometime this year. I am not in a big rush I am sure I can add back in maintenance points. What is odd about ITB is it only gives me 33 points for maintenance. I have no problem using that little slider to make it 36. LOL. I had a good teacher though:

cathygeha 30 points is correct on sugar smart. It is the same as green on WW.

Cathy, Becky is right. 30 is lowest points for SmartPoints. (SugarSmart)
26 is the bottom end for PointsPlus. (CarbConscious)
And I believe 18 was the lowest for Points. (ConquerCravings)
It is all in how the foods are calculated. SugarSmart takes the biggest hit on sugars so they give you more points to compensate.
They did the same when they went to PP, with that plan carbs became the reason for the higher points.

Today I have not tallied the Carb Conscious and Sugar Smart but *think* I am at 23/22 on Conquer Cravings and may have weeklies to cover it. Sometimes it is hard to know exactly the points since the food is not packaged and I don't always weigh/measure when I cook.

What is odd about ITB is it only gives me 33 points for maintenance. Becky I have been wondering since I read this. Wouldn't that be right? 28 weeklies plus 5 maintenance? Sugar smart gives me 30 daily points so 6 maintenance points is what WW gives for green so I would think it should be the same on ITB. Better Balance gives 23 plus 5 maintenance points would be the same as WW but I think ITB only gives 25 with maintenance.
