Im doing blue but im also tracking calories on my fit bit app

Answer 8

Move around more and drink more water

Answer 9

I started on Green and it works for me.  

Answer 10

I love the green plan. You have to be committed to tracking everything. I personally love the accountability. I started January 15 and have consistently lost weight every week.  

Answer 11

I’m on purple  It doesn’t matter what plan but any exercise you can do really helps to burn the calories, track your food. Good luck  

Answer 12

Ive tried them all out and they all have benefits. I think if you’re dedicated to weighing measuring and tracking than green sounds right to you.  

Answer 13

I am having a terrible time on blue! I lost 15 lbs and now have been stuck for 3 weeks regardless of staying within my points.  

Answer 14

Green works for me.  

Answer 15

Green is working for me

Answer 16

Thank you everyone very helpful information I’m gonna switch to Green on Friday

Answer 17

I’m finding it very slow loss even with good food choices

Answer 18

I was on purple, but I wasn't accountable for enough. I switched to blue and have no zero foods (except fruits/veggies) and it's so much better for my psyche. Losing now. I just know for myself, I cannot have zero point foods.  

Answer 19

Green works! You have to be disciplined in tracking

Answer 20

Green works for me. over the years, WW measuring, weighing and tracking feels so automatic to me. Everything and every quantity has fat, carb and protein calories and if one maybe overeating without even realizing, weight will be slower to come off.  

Answer 21

I love green! I have been on green since February 22nd and I’ve lost a total of 30 pounds. Of course everyone is different, but the green works great for me.  

Answer 22

I was on blue the first two months I lost less than 3 pounds Went on green mid of March iv lost 9lbs so far I do need to be disciplined I also track on my phone which is very helpful definitely download the app if you don’t have it

Answer 23

Depends on what your issue is. if yours is portion control, green will work best because you have very few free foods. you will have to stick to proper portions to lose, but you have the freedom to choose the foods you want to use your points on. I tried blue and hated it. I have been doing green and I am down 30 pounds once mid January. not as fast as others, but I am happy!  

Answer 24

I’m on green. To be successful I believe you have to measure and weigh everything. Green is more accountable. I usually lose about a pound a week. Sometimes more. Down 42 lbs so far. Started in December.  

Answer 25

You could try a switch to green. The thing with blue is that there are more zero point foods. It’s easier to use your points on junk. I would look at what you’re using your points for if you’re not losing. Eg. 10 points spent on a hearty beef dish is going to be a different 10 points then those spent on a bowl of chips. I know for me I was eventually able to find a bunch of carb-filled snacks that were less points and I would just crave them and spend most of my points on them. My cleverness was to my own detriment LOL I ended up not losing as much. I had to go back and re-evaluate what I was spending my points on.  

Answer 26

I think they all work, you just have to find the plan that works for you and the daily points you want to have to eat, and work on portion control. They all scientifically work, just decide which more types of free foods and how many you want. Just remember that the free foods have calories. Portion control.  

Answer 27

I agree. portion control in whichever group you’re in. I have been lifetime for 20 years and GREEN has been working wonderfully for me!  

Answer 28

I switched from blue to green this past week, and went from “no progress” to -2. 6. I was overdoing zero point foods, and green gives me the discipline I need!  

Comments

@sholem79 I think I need discipline.  

---

@sholem79 Thank you it’s exactly what I need. With the green plan does protein have Points?  

---

@sholem79 yes

---

@sholem79 Yes

---

@wisconsin7783 Yes, so do beans, corn, eggs, potatoes, oatmeal — but you also get more dailies. I went from 23 on blue to 30 on green.  

Answer 29

Green! I was eating too many 0 point foods which are still calories. Green makes you count everything. Don’t let the extra daily points fool you! You will need them!  

Answer 30

Green made more sense to me accountable for everything going in my mouth .  

Answer 31

Green definitely keeps me more accountable and accurate. I measure everything now. I'm shocked at how many extras I was adding in every day b/c it was zero.  

Answer 32

I like green because it makes me more accountable. The "free" foods still have calories and having too many will stop or stall your progress. Just my opinion, of course! Everyone has different needs and WW has a variety of plans to meet those needs!  

Answer 33

I am doing green only because it is like smartpoints from 1-2 years ago and its what I'm use to. I lost 40 pounds 2 years ago on smartpoints. It works for me because I get more points a day.  

Answer 34

Im 4 wks in on green. 10 lbs down. I think  holds more accountability. Zero points is not zero calories. I do watch my carbs. that's just me. I do better and feel so much better when I keep carbs to around 50 grams per day.  

Answer 35

I just started. I dont watch carbs, just points

Answer 36

Blue is best Stick at it

Answer 37

Like blue

Answer 38

Found I need the structure of Green.  

Answer 39

Different plans work for different people. I personally do not have the discipline to follow Blue. Green keeps me on track!  

Comments

@poulenc93 Clark green is better for me, too.  

Answer 40

I don’t like that I wasn’t given a choice. I was assigned a plan. How do you see how other plans work?  

Comments

@rheumy you can change your plan by going into settings and pick food and change it. Try for at least 2 weeks

---

@rheumy Nobody should assign you a plan. Maybe your leader suggested a plan that she thought would work best for you. You can always switch once you give it a chance. Good luck!  

---

@tanana5927 Steen no. I did everything on the app

Answer 41

I’m 4 months on green and 45 lbs down.  

Comments

@lamb - wow, can you please share some tips as how you lost? I am on green for two months now and not doing that great. Thanks

---

@orelu I just try to stay in my points range, drink lots of water, and exercise.  

---

@lamb - thank you. Do you use all your daily points ?  

---

I also make a menu for two weeks at a time and buy what I need for that. If I buy junk food for other members of the house, I hide it in my daughter’s playhouse and they go out there to eat it. “Outta sight, outta mind”

---

@orelu I try to, but if I have a couple left over, I don’t sweat it. I eat when I feel hungry but try not to eat after 7 pm. I also use unsweetened almond milk with Hershey’s sugar free syrup for a 2 pt. snack/chocolate fix.  

---

@lamb - thanks for the tip on Hershey syrup. I will get it because I do crave for chocolates sometimes.  

---

@orelu I like mine really chocolatey so I use 8oz of milk and 2 oz of syrup. lol. That is why it is 2 pts.  

Answer 42

Change to green same plan more accountability

Answer 43

I am almost 1 week in on green, but I have done past programs. I love how accountable I have to be on this plan. It also allows so much flexibility.  

Answer 44

Switched to green to reach my goal. Food more accountable

Answer 45

For a different perspective, I'm planning to switch back to blue because I get more points on green (30) and I don't use them well. whereas with 23 pts on blue, I was eating more healthy because I didn't have as many points to spend. ‍♀️ I'm a snacker with no self control though, blue makes me have to cook my own food more often because I don't have the few extra points a day to be able to spend on takeout, etc

Comments

@infeudation748 This is how I feel too. Went from blue to green and just switched back to blue as I was using the points on snacky stuff and not eating enough lean proteins and yogurt. I'm just being careful about portions of those items this time around.  

Answer 46

I switched from green to blue. I have been stuck for 3 weeks. Will see

Answer 47

I can not be trusted with zero point foods. I’ve been on green and it’s been working. You can always try green and after two weeks (they ask you give it two weeks) and go back if you don’t like it.  

Answer 48

I lost 80lbs on the blue 14 months, Just switch to the Green, yes you have to count more of the free foods like eggs. Beans. Do I'm starting to get the hang of it 40 to go!  

Answer 49

I went from Blue to Purple. Lots of zero foods that I like. Good luck.  

Answer 50

Yes I moved to green because I needed more accountability with zero point foods such as beans and eggs. It got the scale to move.  

Answer 51

Yes. I recently switched from blue to green after having the same struggle for a couple months! I definitely needed more structure because I would eat way too many potatoes!  

Answer 52

Switch to Green
