As you know I worry about the new program. I was thinking this morning how glad I was to have this group to help me through getting use to the new program. Then I wondered how many of you are actually doing the WW program now and will getting on the new program? I am. I joined in 1999 and never left, I've always done the current program - except for SmartPoints which caused me to quit my part-time gig as a WW receptionist of 15 years. I gained 10 pounds while drifting along and not tracking because I abhorred Smart Points so much. I personally like the Purple/Blue/Green options. I am settled in with Green, having great success, and am very worried about changing plans now that I've found my momentum.

DebDoesWW ,I heard that they no longer will be selling Calculators - They do sell them on Ebay and Amazon. Have heard so much about the new plan - hope it isn't as bad as some of the messages that have been posted. Wait what? So the new plan won't have calculators? We are talking about the current program not the new one. I suggested everyone who likes the current program to make sure you have the SP materials and a calculator ☺️

Sorry, new here.. was trying to quote the poster about smartpoints & leaving ww. Is it true that the green plan just like the original smart points? I understood blue is what freestyle used to be. I’ve been on WW off an on since 2001 and went along with every plan change. I never seemed to have a problem transitioning until smart points. I’m hoping the way the new personal points are calculated is different than smart points, but either way I’m looking forward to a change. I tend to switch back and forth between green & blue now. I’m a Lifetime member but have gained 20 during the pandemic so I’ve been halving to pay. Ready for a new plan!

The current program IS SmartPoints and green 💚 is “Beyond the Scale” the first version of SmartPoints. As long as it is now working, you go girl and hang on to those materials 🤗

I am settled in with Green, having great success, and am very worried about changing plans now that I've found my momentum. THIS!! I am so close to goal, I worry about losing my GREEN plan! BUT if I just keep doing what I'm doing, I'm sure I will be OK! RIGHT?? LOL
I caused a small commotion on Connect (oops)! Someone was asking about changing her plan color, and I told her to just wait, the new program is rolling out in a few weeks! Several responses were 'WHAT NEW PLAN??' OOPS! I just left it alone!

If you're worried about the new plan and want to keep with your current but don't have a local meeting to receive a hard copy of the plans; you can print them from the WW Website (as long as you are a member).
Log in and then choose "My WW+" in the upper left corner (next to My Day). Once in there you can choose "How My WW+ Green/Blue/Purple Works" (there's a separate choice for each plan); from there choose "Your Guide To Green/Blue/Purple". You can print from there. Also on the Guide page, scroll down some for the zero point list and there's an option to print that as pdf as well.
If you want the whole Guide Choose "My WW+" and then scroll and click the "Learn More" button. They'll be an option for "The Full My WW+ Guide" for download...also the Success Planner and a Printable Tracker.
The points calculator is still in the online shop for $9.99.
If you're a smartphone user though, itrackbites app is still the best option for the older plans.

I at least hope that the week before the rollout of the new plan, coaches are allowed to at least give a heads up about changes. I would feel bad for those who try to track the day of the rollout and find out the plan changed.
There was one post on Connect that I found where the plan changes were mentioned by a member. There were several comments, but then the comments stopped and I could not find the post except by going up to my notifications since I had replied on the post. I guess WW deleted her post.

The green plan is like the original SP (Beyond the Scale), however, you are allowed to rollover 4 SP per day. BTS did not allow rollovers. That came with Freestyle. When they came out with Green, Blue, Purple they allowed everyone to have rollovers

Laura M - thanks for posting instructions for printing myWW materials. I had no idea that there was a printable tracker, too. I'm not following any WW plan right now, and I haven't tracked on paper for many years, but I'm glad to know that there are these options. I hope it'll be the same for the new plan.

I hope so too, because if I like the new plan, I’ll definitely want hard copy material. Has anyone found out for sure if WW is definitely doing away with printed material? That is the rumor I’ve heard repeatedly, and if true, it’s a shame. I’ll always be a “ book” girl at heart.

I tried it out of desperation, a "boot camp" of sorts. I was doing well on Purple since it debuted, but got lazy after several months of stressful family issues. It got to the point my pants were hurting and it finally snapped my brain into gear. I figured Green was the most restrictive and I needed the accountability. At least for a while.
