Question

I have old plans from like 10/15 years ago. Might I use them, I will still lose weight? No need to buy one of these new “coloured” plans.  

Answer 1

I lost 90 lbs last year doing an older plan (one with a slider) :) Nothing against the new plans, I just had the material and it's free.  

Comments

You look amazing. I just worry when I lose the extra skin?

You look great!  

Answer 2

You'll get better results with new plans. I am speaking from experience

Answer 3

They all work just pick one and follow it

Answer 4

I got my old one out too. ca t afford the meetings gs so I'm doing it myself. I have my little card board points finder too and that is what I'm using.  

Answer 5

I really believe the answer is in yourself. Pick a plan and really follow  

Answer 6

Old plans work better than this new one.  

Answer 7

I love the new plan. I like to change things up lifetime 4 years. On the green plan

Answer 8

What I like is the ability to switch between the plans now.  

Answer 9

I really like the 1-2-3 Success plan and also the Core plan worked really well for me.  

Answer 10

I use the old plan and it works just like it did before! I've lost a few pounds that had crept back on after 10 yrs and I can maintain during the tough weeks which keeps me from blowing a whole week!

---

@duplessis7 I've found online calculators and sites with enough information to succeed.  

Answer 11

They work but the science evolves making better choices for your health. Like higher protein etc

Answer 12

I’ve lost 22 pounds using the smart points from years ago! Worked for me!  

Answer 13

I still follow smart points.  

Answer 14

I use the old plan and have lost 70+ lbs. New plans just didn’t work for me.  

Answer 15

No doubt you will lose!  

Answer 16

Oh ur gas joyce! Yea i should of done that im on purple plan

Answer 17

I am doing the old points plus plan but I am using I track bites because it is free. Can’t afford WW right now. I lost 70 pds on the old points plus .  

Answer 18

I hated old plans with slider. so happy to have the app. Nothing to write down.  

Answer 19

I still do the old plan. Kinda fallen off track though! And I love my slider!  

Comments

This is a hard time to stay on track but we know the plan works, we just have to do it. I'm struggling too but have to remind myself that I can do this!  

Answer 20

I use the original points plan. I know it, its free and no $ going to Oprah. Also the itrackbites app is free and supports the plan under Conquering Cravings.  

Answer 21

I use an old plan (Simply Filling), paper and pen track and journal, AND attend meetings. I need the accountability of weighing in, I can get something from the meeting, I enjoy seeing old and new friends, and we out at Denny’s afterwards. Their menu allows us to eat WW or not. I realize I am retired and not all are at my point in life, but I sure have been missing all this during the shutdown.  

Answer 22

I personally like the old plan best! Still gave my books & slider!  

Answer 23

The only differences may be: that the point counts for foods have changed, the number of daily points you get and the zero point foods (green - 100 zero pts - only fruits and most vegs; blue - 200 zeros- all fruits and vegs, chicken/turkey breast, all fish/seafood; and purple - 300 zeros - blue + 100 more - whole grains, some whole wheat product, rice, popcorn, quinoa etc)

Answer 24

Guess one can say, I have a car from the 1940’s do I really need a car from 2020 with its modern amenities and efficiencies, the refinements from lessons learned over the years. Your choice! Why would you resort to old school when you have available new knowledge that can improve on success? Progress comes from lessons learned. In the late 60’s and early70’s you could not have banana’s and had to eat liver once a week. You could even go that far back. The current 3 plans provide versatility for people to choose from according to their preference in food choices. These plans are based on earlier plans. Choosing an up to date plan arms you with lots of knowledge as to your particular weakness towards foods that may cause you to loose control. I suggest you research them carefully, bet one of them will work for you.  

Answer 25

Use watch works

Answer 26

Well. they worked then. not sure why they wouldn't work now. but they are much stricter

Answer 27

The older plans work and they are much simpler and easier to use

Answer 28

I still go with old school plan but go to meetings and weigh ins (when was open)

Answer 29

I still use my old "slider points calculator". and I just track points in a notebook. the old stuff works just fine. Down 35 # since Thanksgiving.  

Answer 30

I still use Points Plus from 2011

Answer 31

The app isn’t going to work with the old plans and the app is great! Recipes, exercises, freebies, etc. the app is motivational all on its own. But to answer your question - yes all plans new and old will enable a lifestyle to lose weight.  

Answer 32

I still do points plus

Comments

@tonne6696 me too! It got me twice to Lifetime, so I’m sticking with a plan that worked!  

---

@rendition me too!  

---

@tonne6696 plus I don’t want to use an app! I physically journal everything I eat! It works!  

Answer 33

The idea is to make a permanent change to your life style. Not a diet that you go on and than go off and gain the weight.  

Answer 34

Do what works best for you! We are all different!  

Answer 35

No thanks The app is amazing! You have everything you need right at your fingertips. No calculating anything or writing anything down.
