    I believe it is the same.. If proPoints is based on protein, carbohydrate, fat and fiber, then it is the same program (just a different name)

    Got it working fine, thanks to whoever wrote this, but I have a Q - Is pointsPlus the same as proPoints? (I'm in the UK).

    Hmm think it can't be because it's tracking different points in MFP than WW (banana, soyamilk, bitter)...

    Is there a way to put the old point system, calorie, fat and fiber on with myfitnesspal instead of the new
    points plus, I like the old one better?
    I can't get on here very often so I would like if whoever has an answer to email please.

    Is the correct settings for the script

    var precisonWW = false or true? I have seen it both ways in the string posts . . .

    I'm having trouble getting the Points column to show up at all. I read through all 16 pages of this thread and don't see an answer to my question. I am on a Mac and use Chrome. I downloaded TamperMonkey and installed the script there, and corrected line 10 to read "true" rather than "false" and restarting Chrome a couple of times. Still don't see it. Any suggestions?

    Thank you so much for this information! I really hate tracking with WW, and miss MFP because they have info on everything, even the store brands. I also like the way you can add multiple things at a time. Now if they can only make it work on my Android APP!!

    has anyone not been able to install the greasemonkey plug in because it's not compatible with firefox version 27? Is there a way around this? They said installing an older version may expose you to security risks.

    Thank you so much for this!!! This is having the best of both worlds at our fingertips. I love the points system, but WW database is horrible. MFP's database is AWESOME! Now I have both. Thanks again!!

    I just found this board and tried it as well and I am having no luck with getting this to work. Any ideas? Help

    AWESOME! Thanks a bunch! I am not a techy person by any means!! Im super excited, yup, BIG dork! Thanks again!!!
    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

    OMG it works...just copy and paste those changes and the script works this is awesome! thanks so much to the person that added this post and the creator. Best of both worlds.

    I saw your post and I was having the same issues. I found a post that showed how to fix the issue with Chrome and it works for me now.

    Just got this installed. Some points are not showing correctly. Example Silk almond milk 1 cup is 3 points according to my ww calculator and is only showing as 2 with formula.
    Any thoughts?

    Has anyone found that the 1200 calories from MFP is showing as way more points than is allowed. i.e. my points should be 26 but the points that are coming up are like 34.

    Someone said to set both to true. Is that not correct?
    Still can't get it to stop displaying 1/2 point values. Any suggestions? I have already changed line 11 to false. I'm using chrome. Thanks!

    Okay I am pretty much computer illiterate but thanks to you guys I was able to install it....kind of. I could not get the source code portion to change the points plus to true. It would let me make any changes. What am I doing wrong? Thank you all so much for your help! I have been fretting about how I am going to track once I make goal. I simply can't afford 42.50 a month just for the w.w. tracking system.

    If you get to lifetime you don't have to pay. I know easier said than done.

    I'm just bumping for others. I LOVE this!

    First, make sure you have Firefox installed.
    Next, install Greasemonkey from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748
    Once that is installed, go here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/122949 and click on INSTALL in the top right corner.

    Greasemonkey will recognize that it is a script and install it for you.

    Once you have installed the script, if you want to edit it, follow these instructions:
    In the upper right hand corner of Firefox, there should be a little monkey. Click on the drop down menu and click on "manage user scripts." Then it will bring up a new window. Highlight weight watchers script (if its your only one it will already be highlighted) and click on options. It will bring up a new window. Click on script settings and then edit this script. Select "notepad" as your editor, edit line 10 as needed, then click save".

    In order for the points to display on MFP, you MUST ONLY have the following stats showing in your diary in this EXACT order:
    Calories Carbs Fat Fiber Protein
