How to Track Weight Watchers Points on MFP!!
Replies

After removing the forward slashes from the 5th and 6th line of the code, this worked perfectly - thank you so much!0

Script now apparently works no matter what order you have your nutrients in, which makes me happy, but it's not super accurate. For example, Kroger - Olives (25 calores, 1g sat fat, 0 sugar, 0 protein) shows up as 1 point on another SmartPoints calculator and 1.5 points with MFP script. I don't have access to the WW official app/website.1

I have the points column now, how do I get the fruits and veg to be 0? Okay, now it disappeared, when I signed out.0

Same here!
I love this potential functionality, but the SmartPoints are coming in wrong. For example: 1 large egg is coming in as 3 SmartPoints (should be 2), and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk is coming in at 2.5 SmartPoints when it should be 1.
Is the script *for sure* using the latest SmartPoints equation, or an older one?

I really want to use MFP to track my WW Points Plus. Mostly because the WW site isn't very easy to work with. Not a lot of foods in it's database. Ssssooooooo I've been reading the other posts' and I don't understand what to do. Could someone spell it out for me. I have a MacBook Air and just downloaded Firefox. Now how do I get the script from tineyd00 onto my laptop so I can use it to track my points? Please remember I'm not very techy, so the more you spell it out the better. EX "right click and drag to address bar or highlight the whole thing and copy it and paste it......." Thanks, Thanks and more thanks0

Hi - Is there ANY way to get this to work on an Android Phone? I track all of my ww/mfp stuff on my phone and don't see anywhere that there is a way to add/alter a script on a droid.0
-
I can get it to display a points column, but it only says NaN for each calculation. Any ideas programmers? Thanks!0

Smart Points aren't going to work here because some foods carry penalties. WW wants to steer you away from "bad" foods by making the point value much higher than their calorie count warrants.
WW wants you to pay for their service......and not use something for free.
Many of these "how to" posts pre-date the Smart Points program.0 -

Thanks PollyPickpocket5--I have the right order but it doesn't seem to recognize the number value of points (NaN--not a number). I wonder if an adjustment to the code would resolve this, but I don't know much about coding.0 -
I got smart points to work by ordering columns this way - after calories: sugar, sat fat, protein. 4th column doesn't matter. In the script those three columns are in the Smart Points formula, not carbs, fiber and total fat like the Points Plus used. When I had the Points Plus columns showing I was getting an egg counting for 3 points , etc., as others have said. Now it works fine. I am using FireFox for MFP only. Usually use Chrome but couldn't get the script to work there.0

I have this working as far as showing a column, but it just shows a 0 in the points column.

Copied the script from above, pasted, saved, enabled.. Still NO SmartPoints column.. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks.0

I have this working in both Chrome and Opera. I installed TamperMonkey, then copied the script (which is available several pages back), and saved it. At first, no points column appeared. I had to open TamperMonkey, click to edit the script (which is called "MyFitnessPal Weight Watchers Points"), and then click the "Settings" tab. Under "User includes" I added "http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary". For some reason, adding the URL without the slash at the end got everything working for me.0

The count doesn't exactly match what I tally up in WW, but it is close. For example, it still counts WW Freestyle "Free" items like a boiled egg and fruit, but that is easy to just mentally delete from the final WW Points count. It does count half-Points, which I like. It also under-counted the Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups I indulged in, which is also fine with me, since I find that WW incriminates us for unwise food items, which can be discouraging.
Please let me know if this helps!

Does this still work since the Weight Watchers changes? I have tried it in both Firefox and Chrome. I would appreciate it if someone could give me step by step instructions as I'm afraid it is all a bit too technical for me! 1

I don't mind which version of WW it uses - I've done them all over the years

I also would love step by step instructions. Weight Watchers is the program I'm following. But I'd like to at least be able to keep an eye on the calories.3 -
I've tried all of the suggestions here on both Firefox and Chrome but to no avail. Unfortunately, the points column doesn't show up. Is it a Mac OS issue perhaps? Any advice would be great.
I have used the most recently updated code.0 -
Has anyone have the script working for the new freestyle?0
-
I can't get any column to show up anymore?

does this work on mobile0

I can't get this to work on Mac OS -- have tried both the Firefox and Google Chrome versions. Have tried changing the include statement to use the url without the trailing slash, but nothing works. Does it still work for anyone else on a Mac?0
-
From what I can tell, the code is for Points Plus. The original code was created in 2012. Any programmers out there that can modify the code to current Freestyle points?0

Combining all kinds of protocols is overthinking it. The premise of ww is counting their points and doing it their way. This way usually changes every year or so to keep you on your toes and it's good marketing strategy. Throw everything out with the bath water, clean the slate and clear the decks...time to buy all of the new material.
Simply track your data points here. It's not complicated and it's straightforward. There's no wiggle room. You track every portion and item. There's really no such thing as a free lunch. Freewheeling it. If that really worked there would be no such thing as repeat customers for weight loss. Ever.
You would freestyle and freewheel, free lunch it. You would conduct one diet, one time and be fixed for the rest of your life. No rebound weight gain with friends. Fixed.
But until someone can prove that actually works, from the top of the head, top head to the bottom of the food chain, you can moderate yourself and food by simply tracking your data points every day. And you can do it on your own terms while eating the foods you enjoy.0 -
Any updates?

I did not know that this could be possible and I would like to find out as well if there is an update to this. I am using WW because for me the points was easier than just using MFP. I like to track both to be sure that I'm consuming enough calories since there are so many foods that are 0 pts on WW.1
