Congrats on doing so well on the prior WW plan(s)! I'm Lifetime too and it took me a while to figure out that Points Plus wasnt working for me. I attribute it to their push to make nearly all fruits and vegs zero points on the new plan. When I started with WW, most fruits and some vegs had 1-2 points per serving, and i counted those in my (handwritten, pre-app days) journal. I noticed that the points values for some of my staple foods (besides fruits or vegs) went up 1-2 points. I gained some of my weight back over the years.
Before the holidays, I decided to count calories instead of points using My Fitness Pal (website and app). It worked better for me than counting points, at least to get me back on track to losing a few pounds and not having to pay at monthly weigh-in. That gave me some positive reinforcement. I am still taking my vouchers for free e-tools, but it was MFP that helped me account for fruits and vegs which do make a difference for me in loss and maintenance.
