Do any of you have any good recipes and points values for the new Weight Watchers Program?

I wish.

This might help

Go to HungryGirl.com and sign up for her e-newsletter. She sends out new recipes every day and they always include Points Plus. She has also posted on her website the new points plus for older receipes.

I particularly love her 'egg mug' recipes! You can go to her website and check them out. She also has mug recipes for deserts ... all made in a coffee mug in the microwave, serving for 1! It certainly keeps you from 'over indulging' when there's only one serving made!

Hope you find something yummie. I'll check my notes from the last couple of WW meetings to see if anything new has been appealing to me.

Thanks so much Peggy! It's great to prepare something that you already know what the point value is. I appreciate your help!

Oh Thank you! I'll take a look tomorrow!

Jenni---Would you explain to me what the points mean? I have thought seriously of joining Weight Watchers Online but I'm dense as to the points they talk about. You may PM me if you like. Thanks. Marge

Me too! Me too! Please! Thank you. :lol:

Points are calculated by the contents of carbs, protein, fat, and fiber. An egg for example has 2 points. The daily allowance may be 29 points a day and as a bonus a weekly allowance may be 45 points that may be used anytime you need them. A special calculator is used to find points using the labels on foods or the Weight watchers books has them listed. Calories are no longer used in the calculations and all fruits ore zero points and most vegetables are zero points.

Thanks so much for the great explanation! It really is a healthy way to eat. I was more familiar with the old system, but had not been to ammeeting for about 3 years. I love the new program and the additional flexibility. Especially the free fruits and veggies!

Wanted to let you know that there is a great post on the original thread from another member who gave a great explanation of the points system. Much better than I could have given lol! I really do like the program!

At the bottom of this thread, there's an adv for a WW cook book.Big Bro really does watch over us on the board. :mrgreen:

:mrgreen:

thanks for the information

There are many, many weight watcher recipes out there that are not a part of the WW cookbooks. Not all WW recipes are copywritten so Big Bro can watch all he wants! LOL

The folks in my group are always bringing in new things they have tried. I have not 're-pointed' my recipes yet but I will try and remember to post the better ones as I do.

WW also has free recipes on line even if you aren't a member. Of course, you get many more if you are!

Stay strong, keep on plugging.
