Well, I officially started the Weight Watchers Plan.

I've dissected it want to record it to be able to refer to it.

Per day 29 Points Per week 49 extra points. (in my case)

All fruits and nearly all vegetables count of 0 points (yay)

(2) slices of bread are 5 points!!! yikes!

Target:

6 glasses of fluid per day, best option H20
2 t healthy oils
2 portions dairy
Be active

Expect to lose between .5 lbs to 2 lbs per week (yay)

Go for a 5% goal in the beginning (for me 8lbs)

Suggested breakdown of points :

Breakfast 5, Lunch 8, Dinner 11 Snack 3, snack 2

Not suggested to go below points for the daily target.

There's a calculator available to count how many points by inserting the amounts of fats, carbs, protein etc.

Also: Two identical meals with the same number of calories will not yield the same number of points. WW calculates the 'work' done by the body to metabolise.

So, I think this is doable and what I need. I'm looking for a steady loss (no matter how small) , and this is what WW is promising.

We'll see how this goes.

Good night all!

I hope it goes well for you. I would watch out to not eat too much fruit, especially bananas and grapes. Weird that they are 0 points. Good luck :-)

Thank you! Fruits are 0 points on this plan 'The Points Plus Plan' however, they are not on the old plan. And it was specifically pointed out in the brochure that you cannot take the 0 Points to fruit and apply it to the old points plan. They've tweaked the plan to include them. Apparently these plan have been subjected to a study or(ies) involving participants. Hope so. Yes, I am inspired. It's almost the same as counting calories, except that it's 'packaged' calories for an easier time at it. I know I can do this.

So glad you've found something that feels right. That's 90% of the task IMO. I've had success with WW twice in my life under a couple of the different plans. A couple reasons I drifted away - 1) the old OLD plan was very restictive 2) one of the different plans was a full time job keeping track of what you ate. It sounds like they've made vast improvements and fixed both those things. I know that US News does a diet ranking every year and WW ranks as one of the top ones every year. Onward!!
