I have tried using the Weight Watchers Point Plus program with no results. Many would say “well, just consume less and you will lose weight”. This is true, but I need more structure. I was very successful back in the late eighties with the old exchange program which was very structured. It was easy to follow and most importantly I lost weight with the program. In fact back in 2008, the last time I lost over 35 lbs, I used the old system–I was fed up with the new points system. I had forgotten about it until a couple of nights ago when I was searching the internet for Weight Watcher programs. Four weeks ago I joined WW again, and had no success with the new program so I decided to search for the older program since I had long ago thrown out all of my booklets. I was able to find enough information here and there to piece together a workable program with some modifications. The exchange system is perfect for people like me that need a more structured weight loss plan. There are still plenty of choices available but you are more restricted as to how much and what you can eat. In the new WW program, there is no reference as to how much carbohydrates should be consumed daily. WW is a great program and works for many people, but the new Points Plus system is not working for me. I am going to try the old exchange system again and let you know how it works for me. As we know, there is not one size fits all when it comes to weight loss. I am going to start my program tomorrow morning. Here is my weight loss chart.
