      I agree, I think I love CM9178... works like a charm once I arranged the cal, carb, fat fib and protein in order. I wonder if I can get this to work on my ipad?

      Haha thanks!! From what I've heard, it doesn't work on the Ipad, but if you figure it out, please share.

      Also, I cannot take credit for this, because I didn't create it - I don't know who did - just sharing the information!

      Thank you for sharing this info. I was able to load this and see it on the firefox browser. It doesn't seem to work with other browsers. Does anyone know if this change can be made to an iphone app to track points that way?

      Many people ask about this and very few people know this is possible. YES you can track your Weight Watchers point in your MFP diary.

      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!!

      I do WW because points are easier than calories. I also do MFP because I use the Body Media Fit band which is not compatible with WW. I pay $20 a month for WW which I hate but I am curious if this script will also tell you when you need to lower your points. As I lose weight WW tells me where to set my points so I continue to lose.

      Thank you for this! I was seriously considering re-joining WW online for a change in routine after 1.5 years on MFP and not doing so well for a while now; hoping to help myself refocus. This makes that decision so much easier! I already know how the program works, now I can do it without paying $20/mo+ for their very unimpressive mobile tools.

      :-)

      50 calories of chocolate are not equal to 50 calories of broccoli. That is why just counting calories isnt a great idea, but itself, IMO. WW P+ is about WHAT you eat... just a different perspective!

      I am using Chrome (should work) and have added the script. I can now see the Points column in my tracker but... its blank :( Any tips are greatly appreciated!! I did change the script to say TRUE and previously discussed. Thanks in advance

      Click on Food tab above, then settings. There is a section called Nutrients Tracked, you can arrange them there.

      Hi Everyone, I have followed all instructions for the script and have edited it and saved it, what do I do next, do I have to somehow install it to make it work in MFP? Thanks

      I need some techie help please..... I can't install grease monkey because it says it's not compatible with Firefox 21.0 - I installed Firefox on my Android. Does anyone know how to get past this?

      I just found out that Firefox/Greasemonkey doesn't work for Android - do us Android users have any other option to track on our phones?

      I have/had this working on all my pc's using chrome browser and tampermonkey, but for some reason it has stopped working today... I can see in tampermonkey the script appears to be enabled and is running, but pp column no longer showing up. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and\or got it working again? I tried re-installing script and flushing cache, but no luck...

      I am having the same issue!!

      FYI- I have since installed Firefox and the same script is working there. Not sure if the issue is in Chrome or TamperMonkey... Looks like TamperMonkey is still loading the script when I got to the page, just no points column showing up...

      I have also reported as a bug with TamperMonkey. If I get a response I will update here.

      For those experiencing this issue in Chrome, here is how to get it to work:
      Just add this to the top of the script file:
      (function () {

      and then this to the very bottom of the script:
      })();

      FYI- Here is the bug I filed with Tampermonkey: http://forum.tampermonkey.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=623&p=2518#p2518
