@minda How many calories do you allow yourself a day

---

@minda I think it’s simple with the app.  

---

@minda the green program is like what we did 20 years ago

---

@minda I stayed with points plus. It always worked for me. Never liked Smart Points

---

I lost 85 lbs this past year using the old points with the slider since my mom still had all the information. The thing I don't like about the app is that it's making everyone dependant on it to figure out the points, where with the older programs, you learned how to read a food label. I don't even need my slider to figure out points since I know roughly 50 cal. is a point and if it has over 10 grams of fat, I need to bump it up another point (again, this is on an older program). I'm not saying the newer programs are bad, it would just be nicer if you could decipher their algorithm easier to figure out points without needed to scan it first.

Most people lose on 1200 calories

---

@perch I allow myself 1200 to 1500 on a regular day.

@minda that’s what I am doing as well I’m using my fitness pal. I think u hit a plateau I didn’t gain or loose this week

Answer 2

Yes you join

Answer 3

No you can use I trackbites. They have a similar point plan.  

Answer 4

Yes - that’s how they make money.  

Answer 5

Yes, when you sign up you are told what plan is recommended for you, how many points you get, and you have access to the database that has foods in it so you count your points. Some people do it on their own; there are some similar apps and ways to just search for points.  

Answer 6

Yes, here’s a free month if you are interested. .

Answer 7

Sign up and down load the app ✔️

Answer 8

Me too but, 'No Comment' is the best thing to say.  

Answer 9

No, you can get all info you need on Pinterest but the app sure helps. If you can’t afford the app you can get tons of help and info off this fb page

Answer 10

It's so worth it!  

Answer 11

WW keeps coming out with "New Plans" so they can justify the cost, it's really simple take a week write down everything you eat and calories consumed. Lots of info online of what you should consume.  

Answer 12

I count my calories, everything I eat! I can barely reach 1100 cal a day and steadily loosing weight. I dont pay anybody to do it.  

Answer 13

Can someone help? Is this helpful for people who are vegan or vegetarian

Answer 14

You can pay for the app which is about 20 a month

Answer 15

It’s 30 a month

Comments

@footway on/line only? i pay $19. 00–you should look at their site and see if there’s any specials going on. Meetings are in the $40s

---

@swarts I joined they charging me 30 a month ?  

Answer 16

I’m sure if you Google you will find the info. I am a WW member because I like the resources such as the meetings and app. If you feel you can do it on your own, you don’t need to spend the money.  

Answer 17

But itrackbites has the plans

Answer 18

By paying for a monthly subscription I found myself more dedicated to tracking because I’m paying for it. I’ve stopped and tried doing it on my own and no weight was lost over 3 months. So I’m back on and down another 10lbs!  

Answer 19

Yes you need to join.  

Answer 20

Here is a free month. You can see what it's all about. There isn't any fees and you can cancel at anytime. Give it a try! .

Answer 21

No, but joining weight watchers gives you perks for joining like coaching when u need it, more workout routine help, and groups on there too. Along with weigh in days

Answer 22

App and meeting are worth it 100% to me. The meeting gives me accountability. I signed up at the beginning of January when the deal was first month free and fees waived. If you loose 10 lbs you get a second month free. Signed up for 6 months because I figured it would motivate me to stay on for 6 months.  

Answer 23

It’s worth it!  

Answer 24

You can try iTrackBites. Most of their programs are free

Answer 25

Very best way to do it. If you have money issues, ask about new member specials or just join on line. The website and app are loaded with great info
