    I have the WW points Script..and do not know if it works without Firefox. I have had it so long, I don't even remember how I did it. but..in addition to tracking calories, it tracks :heart: points.:smile:

    http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/122949 < try this. But I think it has to be with the Firefox browser only.

    I just joined WW 9 days ago and love it!!! I've lost almost 4 lbs. and I don't feel deprived, guilty, like quitting... I'm only 9 days in, but it feels like the right fit for me. I'm going to meetings and weighing in. I have 16 lbs to go, so hopefully I will only be paying for another month or 2.

    Am I the only one who is tracking both ways? I'm still figuring out a way to make it work but I'm losing weight with it. I go to the meetings because I need the extra push.

    Hello everyone!

    It seems as if I'm in the same boat as all of you... I have been on and off weight watchers and MFP and have found that I do better with the point system on WW. The last time I was on WW was in 2010, I lost about 20 lbs and stopped because I didn't want to pay anymore. What a bad decision that was. I gained the 20 lbs back and now I'm going to join WW again at some point within the next few weeks.

    I have the same username on MFP that I do on WW, so if any of you would like to add me as a friend, go right ahead! We are all in this together!

    Good luck!

    I installed the firefox points script for MFP to track points... One question, does anyone know how to enter our points daily goals? Also is there a way to track weekly free points? I'm new to WW, but have been on MFP for a couple months. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/822197-how-to-track-weight-watchers-points-on-mfp?page=14#posts-16436493

    I have to agree. Ever since I have been on MFP, no matter what I do I am just up and down the same couple of pounds. WW worked for me so I think I should just go back to it. I downloaded Firefox and was able to get the script to work for me which shows me the points on here so at least I can still do it for free.

    Went back to WW on Saturday and have been dual tracking.. love the idea of the PP showing up in MFP as well as the nutritional info..

    wish meetings were cheaper if you didn't use all their tools (like the online tracking). I would definitely go to meetings and just track through MFP with the script....fixing to start back to tracking points through MFP. I lose better with points than counting calories for some reason...

    Amber, WW is having a promo now if you're not currently a Monthly Pass member... Prepay 6 months of monthly pass at 50% off ($128.95) for six months.

    If you're interested go to www.weightwatchers.com/6months (if you do have eTools, log out first.. it will ask for your ID and password if you already have one).. Works out to having both the meetings and online tools for only $4.95 a week. I decided to do that and went back last weekend.. I need the "face-to-face" accountability and at half price I'm now committed till the end of June.
