Weight Watchers Points Plus

Hello! Looking to mix somethings up and do something new. I have become a grazer and I think the WW PP would be good for me. I am thinking about doing it without paying for it. Anyone had success? Anyone want to start a WW PP group and weigh in electronically every week?

If you want to follow the program as you understand it without the actual material and want the connection with other WW PP folks, you can join the WW boards ~ when I was paying for an online-only membership, there were plenty of folks on the WW boards who were not currently members but were participating in the community (and reporting weigh-ins).

People on the boards will not give out plan information. First, it's against forum rules and any posts giving away "trade secrets" will be pulled. Second, people aren't keen on the idea of giving you something for free when they have to pay for it.

How do you plan on doing it without paying for it? Do you have the handheld points calculator?

And why do you feel that WW is more conducive to "grazing" than MFP is? Both are based on CICO....just with WW you use points instead of calories. Is it because of the "free" fruits and vegetables? Because they're not really free. They're zero points and you should eat them to satisfaction, not all day long.

I had success on the old WW plan back in 2009, when points were given to fruits and some veggies. After that, I had one heck of a time losing. My "free fruits" were really expensive meeting after meeting. I'm enjoying MFP and find its still the same WW principles, but if you feel a meeting and a leader would motivate you, then WW is excellent for that. However, that's for a paying member.

Why not just use MFP but log your grazing? You can look for supportive friends here to encourage you, and it's free! Yay!
