How to Track Weight Watchers Points on MFP!!

robinalexis

You can use the app on your phone and double track but WW is sooooo propriety they won’t share data. Somewhere on MFP is a script for installing a conversion to convert MFP food into WW points but (as far as I know) its in the old point system and only works on computer. My IT son had to install it for me but it was a headache

If someone can get this to work it would be awesome, Don't like double tracking!

Updated the script. I'm using FireFox w/ Tampermonkey on a Mac. I also updated the calcs, using https://wonkypie.com/ww-points-calculators/

Oops - forgot to adjust the includes (line 8 and 9) so it works for any day. Just copy everything BELOW the line. You'll will get error warnings when doing syntax checks in Tampermonkey but you can ignore them. Mine says there are 15 of them. (The interpreter doesn't like the JQuery stuff.)

Again, I'm using the free calcs posted on https://wonkypie.com/ww-points-calculators/. My guess is that they aren't exact but are very close. (I currently have WW as well)

How to track WW? Don't

CorrieLA

Thank you @bondservant75 This works for me!!
The more data the better to keep me motivated. WW worked for me years ago but I've got a yearly sub to MFP and I still want to track macros, etc. Plus integration with Fitbit is useful to me as well.
Hoping to make some post-pandemic positive health changes.

LeanneCutrara

I still can't get the script to work1 Any help would be appreciated

LeanneCutrara

Update got it to work this morning! Thank you @bondservant75

jdudley1956

I just switched from WW to MFP. I would also appreciate step by step instructions to calculate my points on MFP
