Question

I am really struggling on the Green plan. I rejoined because I thought the green plan was the same as the old green plan. But I am not loosing. I have been on the green plan since the beginning of January and it took FOREVER to lose the first 5 pounds. I don't think this new green plan is the same as the old green plan( beyond the scale, smart points). Anybody else feel this way? I know WW works and it has worked for me in the past. I went from wearing 2x clothes to large/large. I want it to work for me again this time.  

Answer 1

I like blue too. Honestly, I thought my metabolism ws so messed up that I ws unable to loose. I joined again around the 2nd week of @knucklebone and have lost 18 pounds. I am 5 lbs from goal. I’ve lost every week but one and stayed the same that week

Answer 2

I use the blue plan

Answer 3

I had a hard time with green and switched to purple and I love it! Many many more 0 point foods same weekly points but less daily points since there are so many more free point foods

Answer 4

I thought that same thing. I wish something was the same as the old green plan.  

Answer 5

I use the purple plan and love it. Most whole foods are zero points and I use my points for dairy, heathy fats, organic sugar and breads

Answer 6

I like the blue. I started out on blue a couple of years ago. I now have lost 55 pounds and have been at lifetime for a year. Blue is so easy.  

Answer 7

I was really excited when I saw the green program was back. I lost over 60 lbs on it last time. I couldn’t lose anything on it at all. I went to blue and have been seeing results now

Answer 8

I don’t think anyone is losing like they use too. im I’m in same boat

Answer 9

Right before the “virus” outbreak I switched from blue to green. that’s been 3 weeks ago with no change . So after this week’s weigh in I’m switching back to blue.  

Answer 10

Try the blue plan

Answer 11

Switch to blue

Answer 12

I was on blue nothing. green barely losing.  

Answer 13

I just want the old plan that works.  

Answer 14

I use the old old original points system. Everything has points except most veggies. I’ve tried the “new” ones each time they came out with them and either gained or lost almost nothing. I gave up on everything but the original points system (pre-2008).  

Comments

@cerebrovascular597 same with me Tammy. I am still using the old points system too.  

---

How do we get a copy of that old points system?  

---

@bigham I use the iTrackBites app. Old Points program is called Conquer Cravings.  

---

@cerebrovascular597 thank you

---

I don't remember how many points I was allowed on the old plan, but I count EVERYTHING except lettuce, broccoli and celery. And I am GAINING. Every . single Day.  

---

@cerebrovascular597 thanks for this - do you have to pay for the pro version itrackbites to be good or is the free version just as good?  

Answer 15

I am losing the same on the green plan as I did on the old points system. not exactly the same as some of the things I used to enjoy are higher in points, but fruits and veggies are o points. but I adjust. some weeks are better than others. I know my problem foods are pasta, pizza and bagels, so I limit those to maybe 1-2 times a month.  

Answer 16

I’ve lost 20 on the green plan. I feel like it works best for me because it really is a lifestyle change and I’m not starving myself

Answer 17

I’ve lost 5 more pounds on green and have been lifetime for 4 years. Maybe you should try a different one.  

Answer 18

I have lost 20 pounds on green in last 8 weeks. I feel like people don’t portion control their food with zero points items especially. nor, weigh or measure servinv sizes on any other plans either. You can eat anything you want on WW, track it. but it has to be an actual serving size.  

Comments

@midway I’ve been on the green plan since Thanksgiving. By the first week in January I hadn’t lost one pound. How did you lose 20 in the same amount of time?!  

---

@seizure Portion control. lots of fruits & veg. Tons of water. Tracking. track everything.  

Answer 19

The only thing really different is the addition of rollovers. This is a stressful time for everyone and stress impacts everything about our mind, body and soul Finally, don’t compare your progress to anyone else - that includes yester-you

Answer 20

No, it's pretty much the same thing. Our bodies change over time though, so your body may not react the way it used to. Are you tracking honestly? Are you getting enough protein? Protein helps us lose fat and build new muscle. The more muscle we have, the more calories we burn at rest, the more weight we can potentially lose. Are you getting some good fat's each day? They also help keep us satiated (like protein) and help us lose. Are you being active? You might need to add in some activity to help burn calories and kick up the losses (if you are able). Are you eating too many carbs? Some people are more sensitive to carbs and they can make you hold water (me). I eat a cup of pasta and the scale goes up 3 pounds the next day. Are you staying hydrated? Are you eating your daily allotment? Weeklies? If you are eating all your weeklies and not losing, try just eating the dailies. If you are only eating the dailies, try eating some weeklies. If nothing seems to work, try one of the other options to see if you begin to lose. I find one of the most important thing is to track everything that goes in our mouths honestly. It's so easy to slack and over eat.  

Answer 21

Blue is beyond the scale and sp. green is points plus

Comments

@icarus3335 blue is freestyle and green is beyond the scale. Points plus does not use the smart point calculation for points.  

Answer 22

Following. I’ve been on green since Thanksgiving and haven’t lost anything either. I’m super discouraged.  

Answer 23

I’ve been on it since January 6th and have lost 9. 2 pounds. I can’t get the scale to move. Holding steady is better than gaining. I have had some changes like clothes fitting better and fitting in clothes I haven’t worn in awhile. It’s frustrating!  

Answer 24

I have been on the blue plan since January. Loss 33. 5 lbs as of last Tuesday.  

Answer 25

Did you complete the questionnaire on the app that recommends the best plan for you? You might suit purple or blue better.  

Answer 26

For real! I have changed everything I do. portion and count everything I eat. Initially lost some weight and just stopped completely. Haven't moved the scale in 2 months. Just maintaining at this point. I'm on a birth control medication that really makes it hard to drop weight. Going to try the wendie plan for a bit to see if that helps. Hang in there! You are not alone.  

Answer 27

It’s so interesting that one plan works so well for one but not for another. I was not having success on blue, switch to purple and still did not do well. Tried green and am doing much better so I would suggest trying one of the other plans to see what clicks for you. I lost 90 pounds on the plan closest to purple several years back but don’t like purple now . it’s fascinating to me. Hang in there, we are all going through such a difficult time, I hope you find some success!
