I rarely eat WW branded foods Amy-Lea.
Fruit is pointed because of the naturally occurring sugars.
Slimming World made me ill. My doctor even recommended I leave. Her description was something along the lines of, all the fruit gave you a good "detox" yes, but eating huge amounts of other "free" foods like eggs, rice, and pasta wasn't good. you need a balance, including fat. SW encourages such low amounts of fat in your diet that, when you do eat it, your body rejects it and it either comes back up, or is rejected in other ways (i.e. toilet). (I had gone to her because I actually thought there was something wrong with me - I was running to the toilet at least 5 times a day, and I don't just mean to piddle! lol)
SW DOES work for people, but she reckoned in the long term, it wasn't a great option. She explained it better, and in more detail but basically, I took her word for it. I needed a plan to make me healthy and slimmer, not ill.
Stick with WW hun, it is very daunting at the beginning, but once you get your head round pointing snacks and everything you consume, it's a breeze!

Embo
SW has a shed load of things free that isn't in any other diet. It will take a while to get used to it but I promise it gets easier! a couple of weeks having to think about every bite and you'll soon do it all out of habit!
