I've been a WW member since around April of last year, and to date I have lost 40 lbs. (today was my weigh-in day so I can tell you exactly!). It has definitely been an adjustment getting used to the new Smart Points program; we previously used Points Plus. Now the ingredients that you key on are calories, saturated fat, sugar, and protein. Anything that has any type of sugar in it has doubled in points (in my experience, anyway). I'm finding it a bit difficult right now, only because I've had to make some significant changes in what I'm eating. They are pushing us toward healthier foods and with the new tagline "Beyond the Scale", trying to teach us to concentrate on things other than just the numbers to find success. They have also made it much easier to gain what they call "Fit Points", which counts any type of exercise.
