Is anyone familiar with/ or following the original points plan?

  • Just started using the old Points plan
    Hello, while I did recently, use the new WW program, I found it good, but not as effective as the old Points plan, where I had more structure and success, so I am going back to that. I appreciate the link to the One More Pound site. I had found this site years ago.

    I found that the act of writing down to track more effective at driving into my brain YOU ARE EATING something... Vs. on my phone. I realize that a manual tracking system is a bit cumbersome, and the need to manually track may just be a quirk of my own!
    YMMV, but if a program isn't working well, the old Points plan was around for a long time before they started changing it significantly. So it may work for you. I'd love to connect with others who are doing the old Points plan!
  • I just went back this week. I love how it is much easier to calculate points, and easier to follow. I can still eat beef and even bacon for decent points.
