I have the 2009 WW books would those still be good to use for points?
Why do foods have several different point listings?
What does the little green diamond mean?

I plan on going to meeting once finance straighten out but until then need to do it on my own, but have been confused by these things.

Here's what I know, hopefully others can help too!

1.) I assume the 2009 books would be fine, the program is the same, it might not have as many of the newer foods in it.

2.) I am not quite sure where you are getting the multiple Points values, in the book or off a website? I know that some foods have Set Points, like chicken breast. In my 2010 book it looks like this:

Chicken, Breast, without skin and bone (3 oz.) #A (#B)

This means that 3 oz. of chicken has #A Points. You can also choose to use the Set Points, which is #B. You can eat this item until satisfied (more than 3 oz.) and count it as #B. You are allowed only one Set Points food per meal (I think), although I only do one per day when I use it. It makes going out easier to count.

3.) The green diamonds are for filling foods. You are supposed to make these a first choice. They are also the foods that are allowed in the Simply Filling plan.

Hope this helps! I am still learning it all too. Good luck on your journey!

Thank you so much. That really did help. Do you know which sugar substitute it best to use?
