I tried that once. I found it confusing. I liked the old points program they had years ago. Good luck to you.

I go to the meetings and have online as part of the fee. I love the interaction of people and do better that way.

the food tracking can not be beat, the exercise videos and tracking are the best on the internet, the information and even the forums are all FREE..and open 24/7.....

Give them a try and see what you think!

I did WW for a while, hardly lost anything. But Sparkpeople I find totally inspiring and much easier to follow. Bonus is that if I am diligent about tracking, I lose easily!!

I am a Lifetime memeber, I follow on line but dont follow the new PointsPlus plan I am still doing the Momentum because I already know most of the points and measurements by heart. All my recipes ETC are in the old plan also. Once you get going it gets easier to follow.
I found that writing on pkgs with a sharpie worked the best for me when I started, I still do that if I have bought something I dont use often or new to me.
It works but you really need to keep track and write everything down that you eat.

I need to get back to tracking again. I am a lifetime member but the pounds have recently started inching up. It would be nice to be able to check in regularly on this site for inspiration. We need to form a group here.

I'm not online but I had joined and was going to meetings then finances got in the way and am now re-starting on my own today. I have the books and calculator. I would love to have a "buddy" or "buddies" . I stay at home all the time and don't have many friends to talk to. :oops: I have a long way to go and had gained back the 10 I lost. Hugs, Julie

Did ww for awhile and lost the weight. After three years it slowly came back. I found the website www.Sparkpeople.com which is great and it is free. It has the food journal which is a wonderful helper.

I joined a week ago and I am really confused with the whole thing as I have a hard time figuring it all out! the labels are easier for me than trying to record all the tracking stuff 8-) But I will welcome someone following along with me hope you arnt as confused as I, one thing is we have dial-up computer, so maybe that has something to add to the confusion, at that is what I blame everything on that darn dial-up :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I also go a walking tape of Leslie Sanstone and it is awsome, dont have to leave your house and it works your whole body!!

i bought the walking dvd too!

i would rather do the old points way. i wonder if it is changable on the website, to go to just the points?

MarcyT 03-29-2011 06:05 AM

I also joined about 3 weeks ago. I find it confusing also. I read labels and go on line and find that things have higher points then what I thought. I did lose weight tho, just seems like a lot of work.
