How to Track Weight Watchers Points on MFP!!

I got it to work yay! I just cancelled my Weight watchers subscription. I have all the written handbooks if I ever need a reference. So why pay for it? This is so much better and I'm addicted lol. With the money I will be saving I'm gonna buy myself a Fitbit this week .

I have tried to use the userscripts.org link and with no prevail. I am also using an android phone. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Would love to try this change to MFP since I have recently quit WW due to cost, but had a 24 lb loss in less than a year. Please help if you can. Thanks Allisha

Does this still work? I tried both links and neither will work. I've decided to go back to counting points because after 70+ days of daily logging on MFP I'm not loosing weight, in fact have gained 3 pounds this month. I LOVE MFP!!! It's unbelievably user friendly. I've tried so many others including the WW app and MFP is by far the best. I don't understand why we pay what we do for WW and their app seriously lacks! I began using pts plus diary yesterday (free WW points app), but it's terribly slow and time consuming to use. I would love to count my WW points on MFP....this would make me so happy Thank you!

Here is what I did...


* Make sure your diary is set up like this - Carbs then Fat then Fibre then Protein then None
(edited from Settings - Diary Settings) This will allow it to calculate the Points.


1st - You need to use the Mozilla Firefox browser. If you don't have it, download it for free.
(I've heard there is something that will make this work on Chrome browser as well, but this is the one I did)

2nd - Use this link to add the grease monkey add on to mozilla firefox...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../greasemonkey/


3rd - Then go to this link and hit install...
http://userscripts.org:8080/scripts/show/122949


And now here is my diary

I'm with you. I cannot get this thing to work.

I just get "Web application could not be started" when I copy and paste the script address. What am I doing wrong?

When I open the link today, it says the same thing as you. Very strange. This worked for me the other day when I did it, now the script isn't opening. My MFP diary still has my points though.

Can someone better with computers help?

I found a mirror site: http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/122949 and it seems to be working. Good Luck!

it still doesn't work for me... did you install the script at the script's address, then add it to TamperMonkey? When I go to TamperMonkey on my sidebar it says No Scripts Running. I do have it enabled.

Is there any reason I can't paste the script here to simplify things?

Do you feel like you climbed a mountain? I did! I think I've tried to get this thing to run several times and always gave up in frustration. It's so nice now to have the huge MFP database to search on.

Good idea. I think I will need to make a custom food that is "one WW point" so I can use it to Quick Add in points.

OMG I did it!

Thanks to Releasingitforgood's May 9 instructions plus the full script provided by WalkingAlong...I was able to get the column to appear on my food diary but it still wouldn't populate...thanks to Siobhan's screen shot I realized I had an extra column. Once I deleted it the pp values appeared~it takes a village!!!

Sadly - that was the easy part...hard part is being disciplined to journal all my meals...what I really need is a group to stay accountable where we post points consumed daily. If anyone starts one please let me know.

Thanks again everyone - I'm really excited to have the wwpp calculations on my mfp food log!

Yes, WW doesn't tell you "you're done" at 26. It's up to you when you're done. You can go on eating zero point foods or eat from your WPs or your APs or stop. It's a lot more flexible than MFP's 1200 calorie hard target.

This took me a couple tries, but I was able to successfully do it on Firefox.
Thank you for this!
