I tried it again and this time it works. So who knows what the trick is. borntexan, you actually have to go into the settings on your computer and change the date so that the computer thinks it's a future date (I used 12/15). That tricks the tracker into thinking you're on the new program and it will let you advance to that date.

I can change my date and it gives me 23 points and it is set to rollover. But, everything still has points. The recipe that I have for salmon, for example, still has points for the salmon. So, not sure what the magic things are to do to get the numbers to change. I've logged out and back in a couple of times.

23 points? That sounds like highway robbery!

Kitty, try going into your settings where you specify rollover and whether to use fitpoints and whether to swap fitpoints or weeklies first. That was one thing I did. Also, just do some tracking. Then go forward a few days, then click the Today button. That's another thing I did. I also read various articles in Living. No idea what made it work.

Well, Fenreporter, technically she didn't lie. Someone mentioned that we were not going to have to count eggs and beans and lean protein. She said not true. The lean protein part probably isn't true and this let her shoot down the whole answer without telling a lie. Just stuff like that.

So, not sure what the magic things are to do to get the numbers to change. I've logged out and back in a couple of times. I tracked and got the zero point values. I actually only used half or less of my points where as I'd be into my weeklies on SP. I didn't log a lot of food either. Just shifted the balance to planning meals around protein and veggies. I put a whole lot less thinking into my meal planning too. I didn't try the rollover. I think I'm gonna like this plan!

zazzles , thanks Mike, what do you call your recipe so I can find it😜 I don't think there is community sharing of recipes any more; I certainly don't see any way to make one public. I named it "Custom: Ham and Bean Soup" but doubt you'll be able to search it.

newheavensearth2 , Kitty , I tracked what could be at typical day for me nowadays and only used 14 of my 35 points, leaving 21 to use. But that totaled 1,469 calories and if I used the 17 points on buttered popcorn or some such food, my calorie count would jump over 2,000. So it seems this is going to require some diligence and assessment of actual hunger so I don't overeat, People who know when they're full will probably be okay; those with broken appestats (mine is at least partially defective) will have to practice restraint. This is going to be very, very interesting.

I'll say this much. As staff, we sign an extensive NDA that I'm pretty sure takes our firstborn as damages. Joke's on them since I never spawned. But there might be something in their about taking my liver instead. And I need that because bourbon.
I'd weasel out if I had to. Whenever WW has something new and shiny, we're provided with guidelines on what we can and can't say. And they do mystery shop our meetings on occasion.
When it came up in my meeting, I simply replied "Naughty children peak at their presents" and left it at that. Of course, I can get away with it because I'm adorable.

All of my time on exchange plans have given me a good sense of how many servings of what per day.

Mike - can you post a sample menu of what made the 14 points? I'd be curious to see how you are on balance.
ETA: I'm very in tune with my appestat, but I usually roll on Core. Except Friday, because cake happens. It's like everything else. You'll try it, you'll overdo it, you'll adjust. *If* there's an actual plan change and y'all aren't pulling my leg.

flexgirl, saying something isn't true when it may turn out it really is true is pretty much my definition of lying! maybe yours differs! either way, i would find it funny if she denied things that are true. instead of just being honest and saying "can't talk about it, so don't ask me. end of story."
