vintage WW 2016

[Wardy1993]

Hello all!

I've been using the vintage weight watchers system for A week now and lost half a stone, I have 3 to lose in total. I was just wondering if there was anyone else using the vintage system and if so thought we could share experiences/ support.

Thanks

I know this thread is no longer active but i jus wanna say thanks to all those who posted on here providing vital information about the vintage point system & sharing your success! Im going at it alone and using itrackbites app where the classic points setting is based on calories and saturated fat jus like the WW i had much success with in the past. The new versions of WW are terrible. I dont want freedom of certain foods and then be “charged” a hell of a lot in points for sweet or savoury snacks. Afterall, how much chicken breast, eggs and veg can u eat? Id much rather have everything available to me within a simple allowance/calculation and portion control. Anyone considering getting the app might wanna know that its American so has mostly American foods and most annoyingly, American units of measure of cups and oz which i just cant warm up to but having spent a fair bit of time saving my own long list of favourites and foods i regularly eat, im well on my way! The scanner is really useful and the point calculator along with other tools is right there so im happy with it. week one is over and 4lb down so whoop whoop! Thanks again to you guys, no other diet has ever worked for me either. :)

I'm getting a new 'phone tomorrow so will be buying your app then

Hi,
I recently made a change to Vintage WW app that will very soon be available on iOS for your iPhone or iPad.
Android version to follow.
You can now store your daily allowance and a weekly bankable amount that is depleted should you overshoot your daily points.
Hopefully this can be useful!

Does anyone still do the old weight watchers with the calculator where you input caories and saturated fat to get points value of food ?

[ThymeLord]

Excellent, I will have a look when I get home

[wilfscorner]

Hi there ThymeLord.
You can see a couple of links to the app (iOS and Android) on this page: www.wilfscorner.co.uk/ww/

It's very basic but I'd be happy to consider any changes that people want.
Cheers, Wilf.

I'd also definitely be interested in buying an app, if you created one

[ThymeLord]

Gosh I remember your website from years ago wilf. I found it invaluable, so thank you!

I have just posted on the other vintage thread that popped up on here. Maybe we should start a new one so we are all posting in the same place?

I got to goal a week before Christmas, a total loss of 7 stone 1lb. From 17 stone, to 9stone 13lb in 16 months. I did put 6lbs on over Christmas which I need to lose

Is anyone interested in starting a separate single vintage points thread?

[wilfscorner]

Hi,

I just wanted to mention that I have a web page that I set up to help me lose weight several years ago and I still use it!

It's at www.wilfscorner.co.uk/ww

I'm also developing an app for iOS that will allow you to install it and use it without any internet connection.

If that's of any interest to anyone I'll gladly post here when it's available.
I may charge for it as I don't much like putting adverts in things but it won't be a lot.

Hi everyone, I'm just starting Vintage WW this week. I know this thread has become quite. So a little bit more action on another thread I'm linking into.
Thymelord you have done amazing & your losses will spur me on when the going gets tough! I eat a lot of vegetarian food & am intolerant to dairy. I know that you are vegetarian / vegan. Do you have any meal plans or menu ideas or can you even point me in the direction of where I can find them. I'd really appreciate it, Ta.

Hi Leah, have you seen the website one more pound.com. It is American but lists the WW points for everything under the sun. It gives the value in the three different ww plans that have been around over the years. I think the vintage points system is the same for US & UK. I'll have to double check. I have all the old vintage ww booklets etc in the attic & have resolved to get them dwn this Friday! If you still need the points values for that stuff let me know. I'm going to be starting nxt wk myself so I plan on posting here regularly for motivation although not much action on here at the moment. It would be great to hear how you are getting on all the same. I wish they never changed the old weight watchers points system as would be great to go to meetings for support but I'm going to try to tap into different threads on here for support.

Hi all

Hi all,
Just started the vintage version again three days ago. Have got to do something- am 2 pounds below what I weighed before having my first (enormous) baby and officially weigh more than my husband (sob sob!)
Have been googling up a storm about the vintage version- does anyone know if you get any flexi-points (I seem to recall being able to use up to ten or so more if you needed it but only once a month or something)? The best thing about the vintage version is that it is only 1 point for a gin and slimline tonic! I will keep posting my progress- gotta try hold myself accountable some way!

[ThymeLord]

Sorry, I forgot I said i'd come back to the thread! Linda McCartney sausages are 2.5 points for 2 sausages. Fruit is different for each kind of fruit. I'm vegan so I don't know about chicken or bacon i'm afraid. Bread is around 1.5 points per slice. Milk it depends whether you have full fat, semi skimmed or skimmed.

[ThymeLord]

I'll have a look at my books when I get home and find the points

[Leahshannon123]

Hi can anyone tell me how many points for bread potatoes milk bran flakes weetabix fruit chicken bacon on discovery thanks in advancex

[Leahshannon123]
