Just joined digitally..a couple of questions

[Mandraki]

Hello! I am fairly ok with the points thing, I'm enjoying it so far on Green. Just wondering about exercise points, am I meant to eat them? I haven't been. I also heard something about points rolling over. So far I've eaten all my daily points each day but if I didn't (or didn't eat my weeklies) would they roll over?

Also any tips for success would be great please :)

People tend not to eat fit points usually.
I think if you have any left up to four points roll over to the next day , until your week is reset on weigh day.
Weeklies are in your budget , it varies , some use them all , some never do.
Maybe see how you get on ? Some use them for a glass of wine at the weekend. Good luck

I'm considering it but the reviews on trustpilot are dreadful. Is the actual plan doable?

@MyHipsDontLieUnfortunately yes , it really does if you stick to it. Meetings are great I'd recommend them highly ( when you're allowed to go)

I was loving it pre lockdown, but now can't get all the fresh food I was eating before. The weight was falling off me. You can set it so that unused daily points do not roll over, and this is what we were encouraged to do by our leader. Good luck! I'll be rejoining once I have my routine back. I'm doing MFP for now.

Do you mind me asking how many daily points you have allocated I have just joined been placed on green and have 36 points daily? Why is the usual amount?

I’m on green and I get 52 (but I’m breastfeeding and think that gets you extra) plus I think you get more if you start at a heavier weight

I've got 30 dailies and 36 weeklies, not sure what the minimum is? It used to be 26 on the old plan but i'm sure you got more weeklies on that one.

Hi can anyone explain the 2020 plan to me. I lost over 6 stone previously on propoints 2011 I think. I literally joined thr week they introduced it and stuck it it. I've since got married had a child put most of it back on and tried mfp, loads of exercise and just nothing is working. Tempted to rejoin. I did rejoin 2 years ago just after ds born but too exhausted to stick to it at the point

I'm still trying to get my head round it @Greenphonegirl but there seems to be different coloured plans with varying degrees of tracking points and free food. I got given the green one which seems like the ProPoints - daily points allowance with a weekly allowance to use as and when you want over the week and free foods are only fruit and veg. Then there's also a purple and blue plan. I think one has more free foods e.g. chicken breast but also tracking points, and the other is all free foods, more like slimming world. There's still fitness points but i've yet to work out if you can eat them - the number it gave me for a walk round the block i'm thinking not!!

I joined today and I'm on blue. I breifly joined WW in 2017 to shift some weight after DD was born, and it looks quite different. I have 28 dailies and 35 weeklies.

•   <strong>*Green:</strong> Offers the smallest list of zero point foods, and the largest daily points budget. The lowest daily points total on Green is 30 SmartPoints. The zero point foods list is limited to fruits and non-starchy vegetables. This plan will feel very familiar to WW members who did the program a couple years ago before Freestyle was introduced, because it is extremely similar to the Beyond the Scale program (the original SmartPoints plan). If you choose this plan you’ll have less zero point food options, but more daily points to spend on whichever foods you like.
  

•   <strong>*Blue:</strong> This is the plan formerly known as Freestyle and is now the middle-of-the-road plan. The lowest daily points allowance on Blue is 23 SmartPoints. In addition to fruits and non-starchy vegetables, the Blue plan adds some starchy vegetables like corn and peas, skinless chicken and turkey breast, eggs, fish and shellfish, beans and legumes, nonfat plain yogurt, tofu and tempeh to the zero point food list. If you choose this plan, you’ll want to incorporate the zero point foods into your meal planning, but you’ll also have a moderate daily points budget to use on other foods.
  

•   <strong>*Purple:</strong> Offers the largest list of zero point foods, and the smallest daily points budget. The lowest daily points total on Purple is 16 SmartPoints. In addition to all the zero point food categories offered on the Blue plan, the Purple plan adds potatoes, whole wheat pasta and certain veggie pastas (like chickpea pasta), brown rice, oats, and other grains like barley, quinoa, and farro to the zero point foods list. This plan reminds me a bit of the old Simply Filling plan, so if you loved filling up on healthy basics with less tracking on that style of plan, this one may be for you. If you choose this plan, you’ll base your meals around the longer list of zero point foods, and have a smaller daily points budget to spend on other foods.
