Several years ago I lost 50 lbs using the points plus system. Fast forward 15 years and I’d like to lose some more weight. I’m confused with all the option though! Is there one system that is similar to the old points plus that I can refer to? Thanks!

I am doing the old, tried and true points system. All of the information is still available online. I just searched old WW points system. It was easy for me and worked. I have lost ten pounds since 2/14. Good luck.

Plus I found a great easy free app that I use to track my food and weight changes also. It is called: I Track Bites. They have a paid portion, but I use the free app.

I am doing the old points system too. I have spent way too much time trying to figure out which one is right for me and is giving me anxiety lol. So back to the old points slider and a pad of paper for me :)

@christa I use an online tracker, keeps me accountable if I go out. I can log, look up foods no matter where I am.

@christa I’m with you. Easier for me.

@christa green is closest . All are points and they just gave more 0 point foods and changed measurements and points of others. I’ve done points plus but once I did green and use my phone to keep track it’s so much easier. Scanner on phone allows you to know points easily in grocery store. If you go to meetings they will go over this but if online I believe you can go to meeting where they do teaching for online once a month

Using a scanner on your phone for points sounds like an amazing idea! Do you only have access to this feature if you have officially joined WW? I always have to stand there with my old, rusty WW calculator, taking up isle space while I figured out the points on foods!

I love the new program! So much easier and I don't feel like I'm so restricted. I'm on blue.
