Answer 1

I didn’t pick, I answered the questionnaire and the app picked

Answer 2

Purple for me!  

Answer 3

I prefer green. You don’t have to stick to one plan. See which one works best for you.

Blue works good for me. purple has pasta on it as a 0 point food and I know myself and that would be disastrous for me lol. on blue even the whole wheat pasta has points but other than that blue and purple are very similar. I've lost about 48 pounds so far on blue. Hope this helps!

I started October 22, 2018 and the three separate plans were not in place at that point. When they did roll out the new plans I stuck with Blue, because that’s what I was use to, and it works for me! I’m down 117lbs so far! I have a few more to go! I tried purple for a few weeks but it gave me anxiety  definitely a mental thing, for me. not having enough points to play with.

Answer 55

Hello I'm new to this what r the zero points fruits and vegetables?  

Comments

@flory72 All fruits and non starchy vegetables are zero on all plans

Answer 56

I am on blue

Answer 57

Don’t stress over . They are all designed for loss. The plan choice really isn’t about food - you can eat anything on all plans in balance. The choice of plan is about Mindset. The one that fits your lifestyle is the right choice. That’s the one you will stick with and see long term results  Has the most daily points but fewer zero point foods  7 fewer dailies than Green but lean proteins (chicken/turkey breast, eggs, fish, beans, nonfat plain yogurt) and corn & peas are all zero points  7 fewer dailies than Blue but potatoes and some whole grain foods are zero points Fruits and non starchy vegetables are zero points on all plans I’ve lost (and gained) on all three based on how well I worked the plan. Blue fits me best

Answer 58

I did Freestyle (now blue), and I loved it. I switched to purple the day it launched, and I LOVE it! Purple is a lifestyle I will have no trouble maintaining for life. Click on my profile picture to see recipes I've created or made over to fit the purple plan.

I love purple but always did good in core and simply filling

Answer 77

Let them choose for you and if you don’t like it you can always switch

Answer 78

I like the flexibility of green and is good when I feel like I am overdoing zero point foods. Blue I tend to eat more zero point foods which are obviously healthier. I switch back and fourth between the two and they both give me results. I’m not a purple kind of gal but it works for others.

Comments

@recoverable4477 how do I see a food list for each plan before deciding which plan I want to go on?  

---

@garold250 I look at what is zero point foods and keep in mind that I have “n” number of points to flavor up those foods. The more zero foods the less points in your daily and weekly budget. I like brown rice, potatoes, whole-wheat pasta so adding foods with those will make a meal for me. If you hate those foods it won’t be easy to navigate a day using the fewer points. Choose a plan with more points so you can occasionally work in regular pasta or white rice.  

---

@recoverable4477 My weight comes off so slowly, does one of the plans kinda jump start it?  

---

@garold250 not that I’ve figured out. I lose slow slow slow and then drop a pound and a half. Then gain half of that back and then it’s 0. 2 -0. 4 and so on. Then a 1 pound gain and then 1. 4 lost. ‍♀️

---

@recoverable4477 you sound exactly like me. It’s so discouraging. I was a lifetime member & stopped going to meetings. I’m waiting for meetings to start up again before I rejoin.  

---

@garold250 I’ve enjoyed the Zoom meetings. I am not sure but I think anyone can watch. I just go to the same meeting I attended in person and I weigh myself at home right before and record it.  

---

@recoverable4477 I’ll try that, thanks.  

Answer 98

Julie-Blue. I lost 60 lbs using this plan.  

Answer 99

I am on green and love it. Answer the questions honestly and it will give you the plan that fits you. I started January 6th Started at 173 pounds now 138 and lots of inches!  

Comments

@capful that’s amazing - have you done all of this on green as well? I’ve lost over 30lb on blue but 4 days into green atm and scared  

---

@quinone4 yes green the entire time. I weigh all my food at home. We are still ordering out once a week usually too. I’m very satisfied but since I was on green the entire time and it worked for me, I wouldn’t change unless I hit a plateau.  

---

@capful that’s brilliant! Hopefully I’ll see success with Green because so far I love it but just afraid as I’m eating more but at least I’m not hungry at all anymore!

Answer 111

I'm blue. I tried Purple for a while but didn't utilize the extra 100 foods and was constantly over my points so I switched back to blue.  

Answer 112

I follow blue, but you can try them all. Give it a few weeks, if it’s not working, you can change. Good luck!  

Answer 113

Blue  

Answer 114

I was very successful for a long time on blue. When the other options came out, I tried purple. I'm not good at my portions on purple. I kind of plateaued on blue, so I've been using green with great success.  

Comments

@freak thanks!  

Answer 115

Right now I am on the blue plan and love it

Answer 116

Green-need to be held accountable. I didn’t do well on the other plans

Comments

@madera same

Answer 117

I just started and I'm doing purple. Here's my take. it's reminding me to eat right. I'm eating healthy filling food. I am not craving sweets or junk, and go to fruits and veggies and protein to fill me up. I knew how to do this pre pandemic. but somehow forgot. or just ignored what I knew. In a matter of four days I feel better. less bloated more in control. So for me, stepping into purple was like stepping back into sanity and I needed it. I don't know what the scale will say when I weigh in on Monday. but I know I feel better. I say whatever you pick if you are ready, it will work.  

Answer 118

Blue and I love it. Started January 2nd and i'm down 38 pounds. It works!  

Answer 119

I like Green best but maybe when I am in matinence I may change. I've heard lots of people like Blue.

I still use the OL@pervious ORIGINAAL WW this works 100% for me so I will stick to this one

Answer 123

I tried Blue but my weight loss has been much better on green. think I ate to many eggs and chicken.  

Answer 124

Blue is great

Answer 125

I need one that doesn't have any zero point foods. A no self control black plan  

Comments

@beardsley Lolol. I know what you mean girl. I do the green plan, however I count everything including the freebies. I use the calculator and create my own fruits and veggies so I have the points. For me personally, free is a floodgate! Good luck.  

---

@danella Rotondi-Moore that's a great idea. I will binge free foods. I wish they could just make a hard core plan.  

---

@beardsley Yes, I agree with the plan idea. Good luck. we got this!  

Answer 126

I love the green because when I first started WW in 2012 the plan was Points Plus and it is the closest to it.  

Answer 127

I’m a happy purple girl. Each plan truly has its merits though. Depending on your lifestyle, there will be a plan that works for you.  

Answer 128

Blue. I started on Green and it was too limiting. I do much better on Blue.

Answer 138
