Pro points worked for me, smart points just feels like hard work. Will the above mentioned app let me track pro points, and offer a pro points calculator??

Well I've answered my own question - I've downloaded the app, and I'm now back to my much-loved Pro Points plan. It's like coming home!!! :)

I'm glad it's not just me. I've no idea why WW changed their scheme, but I'm so glad I can still find a way to use Pro Points. I can understand why WW are trying to steer people away from 'wrong' foods by making their points prohibitively high, but it also makes the diet plan (in my opinion) too restrictive and unsustainable.

With Pro Points, I can generally keep my daily intake within the 26 point allowance, enabling me to save my weekly extra points for the weekend. And as I can also use any exercise points I generate, this helps even further.

But on Smart Points, I ended up using my full daily allowance, plus a chunk of weekly points, just to get to the end of a normal day - not good.
