Is there a way to track WW points??

Here is a WW article that addresses pretty much everything I just said:

http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=108831&sc=3002

Some points from it:
How much 0 PointsPlus values fruit is too much?
We’ll say it again: Yes, fruits and vegetables aren’t magically calorie-free just by dint of us making most of them free of PointsPlus values. We took this step to encourage people to eat more fruits and vegetables; foods that are nutritious, satisfying and help to encourage you to make healthy, lasting choices that will lead to weight loss.

If you’re concerned that you’re eating “too much fruit," ask yourself if you’re enjoying what you’re eating, or if you’re honestly stuffing yourself with bananas because they’re “free." Or maybe you’re blending pounds of berries and bananas with ice into big-gulp smoothies.

If you’re using fruit and veggies as a way to stuff yourself in lieu of stuffing yourself with less healthy foods, then it’s possible that you may be reaching the point of “too much." If you’re eating more than you used to, but you’re using them for healthy snacks, to bulk up your meals or as a tide-me-over when you’re down to the last few PointsPlus values for the day or week, then you’re probably OK.

The bottom line? Let your hunger, and your weight loss, be your guide.

I have followed all the instructions and cannot get it to work?

Ok so I setup in my fitness pal a seperate section for fruits and veggies and will watch the points and see how I do. I know how many points a day I can have and if I go over 3 or 4 then I have a seperate section to watch it.

No, because WW has it's own online system and is liscenced to them.

Hello all-

I have been doing WW since 10/22/12 and am currently down about 30lbs... Is there a way to track WW points on here?

Best of luck to all!

YES YES YES, there is a way to track WW points on MFP!! This is something that MANY people on here don't know!!
First off, you need to use the Mozilla Firefox browser. If you don't have it, download it for free - You won't be sorry.

Second - You will need to install a script into Firefox (like a plug-in) that will display the points in your food diary.
Here is the link: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/122949

It can be used for both the old and new points systems.
Here are more instructions about getting it setup: http://userscripts.org/about/installing

I've been using this since March and I absolutely LOVE it. It is like using the WW E tools except for free!!

Bumping just for this, I need to try this when I get home. I was on WW about a two years ago and lost 45 lbs in about 6 months along with working out which I assumed is a pretty good rate. Then wouldn't you know a loss of a person extremely close to me (mother like figure) + a bad relationship with my boyfriend at the time (now an ex boyfriend) + me + emotional eating = gaining it all back plus another 20 lbs. :brokenheart: I am dealing better with emotions and using them to fuel my workouts and not my midnight binges. But this seems like a neat thing to try so, thanks!

I read somewhere in here that you CAN convert it to ww Points. I didn't bother because I am happier using calories and it looked a bit techy for me .. but I remember reading it - search the blogs

(sorry I cant be more helpful but i DID see it )

I currently track on both. After this month I am not renewing my WW online membership and will just be doing MFP. Since you're doing WW why not track on both and once you see how many calories your eating with your WW points you can easily adjust over to just doing MFP. Or you can just figure out that every point is about 48 calories. Example: One of those 90 calorie fiber one bars is 2 WW points.

If you find that you are meeting or going over your points, but you are way under on calories, then that pretty much means you aren't eating the RIGHT foods. Foods higher in certain macros are going to be higher points, so you will use up your points faster, while possibly not eating enough calories. If you make the RIGHT food choices, you will have no problem meeting your calorie and point goals at the same time.
I am currently following the old points - I get 27 points per day and I never have a problem getting to around 1300 calories. If I was getting way under that, it would be because I ate foods higher in fats and lower in fiber, which would use up my points and not my calories. It really isn't rocket science.

Yes there is a way! Go here:

Not getting embroiled in the pros and cons of WW - I've used it twice, under 2 generations of Points systems, and lost weight on both, but I prefer using MFP these days.

But if you want to convert your daily totals on MFP into WW points, here's a formula that'll get you close enough (taking grams in each case):

Fat - divide by 4
Carbs - divide by 9
Protein - divide by 11
Fibre - divide by 40
Add them all up and you have near enough your WW Points.

If you want to simplify it, divide both Carbs and Protein by 10 (so much easier to do in the head), and leave out the Fibre. It'll still be near enough.

As a matter of interest, the old WW Points formula was roughly: Divide Calories by 75 and Saturated Fat by 4, then add them.

BUMP FOR LATER....
