I too have vision problems (partially blind in right eye), it was the only reason I didn't do Itrackbites and went with WW in the first place. If WW keeps relying solely on "Apps" they will alienate a lot people, myself included. I like the new plan though, but if it becomes too much strain for my eye to go back and forth just to add my water and Veggie intakes, I'll have to drop it. You can record them on the website. For veggies look for the specific veggie and then add 1 cup of it. Honestly, if you don't really care about recording it except to get the point added I would just pick something like broccoli and make it a favorite and just add cups of broccoli. You will get a point added for each cup. Same thing on water. Just search for water, say how many ounces you had and you will get a point added when you get to 60 ounces.

There is someone under the name dhallakx7 (Captain Cupcake) on connect who has a post on what to choose to get the blue plan. He plans on doing one for green as well.

I won't be going to a mtg. until Thursday, but I would think if you answered the questionnaire honestly and entered the foods you want/like to eat, you would come out with a plan that works for you. Why do we need someone else to tell us what to eat if it's called Personal Points? Maybe I just don't understand the program but think I do. I'm confused. 🙃

catfishbabs , can we count water with lemon in it? If so, I drink lemon water a lot already. Yes. I believe water with lemon can be counted. I have my meeting tomorrow so will confirm.

Some of "My Foods" aren't tracking when I pull them up and click track. I get a note that I tracked it, but then it doesn't actually show up. It works for some, but not all of my items. Anyone else have that problem? t was the only reason I didn't do Itrackbites and went with WW in the first place. If WW keeps relying solely on "Apps" they will alienate a lot people, I too am very discouraged about the website. I don't have specific vision impairments, just old eyes and a small phone that I like because it fits my small hands and small clothing pockets. I use itrackbites but strain with the visuals on the app and sometimes take a break for periods of time from it. Between not having the activity tracker and it not being fully functional for all of the new features, I think WW is making a big mistake on not keeping it updated. I could deal with read only on Connect, but this is a whole different level of problem.

People don't like change and don't want to count points for things they didn't have to previously. If you don't choose an option under the area that asks about snacks, fast food, etc... you get to choose more options under the protein area.
I have always believed you should adjust your plan to accommodate you. I never counted baked potatoes under blue as an example...but would always be told I wasn't doing the plan.

Best comment I've seen in a WW facebook group today with all the complaints: "I’m going back to re-answer all the questions until I get a free Dairy Queen Blizzard every day."

At the meeting I went to water and Sparkling water was fine.? I use MIP drops in my water and have always counted it and will continue to. They did say not to count coffee or tea which I never do anyway.

WW Personal Points is supposed to give us a plan that is personalized for us and us alone after we are finished with the questionnaire. If it is not what works for us isn't the process inherently flawed? I know we can keep at it until we get something we like but I'm not sure how this is the way this all is supposed to work.

It was actually what my leader suggested since she isn't a huge water fan. Adding lemon/lime slices, mint, cucumber or some fruit slices for a hint of flavor. vzinma was told the same thing too at her meeting so in case anyone is wondering, yes this is okay. Actually if you look at "Raise a (60oz.) Glass" under the "discover" section you will see a pitcher with orange slices and mint in it.

fullmahina I understand what you are saying but some people are resistant to change and have a HUGE fear of the unknown. They've done whatever plan for a long time and have lost weight and are worried that the new plan won't work for them like whichever plan they did. It happens with every.single.program.change. This isn't so much about the new plan being inherently flawed it is about human nature and the reluctance to boldly go where we haven't gone before 😉

To me, it shows that the WW "questionnaire/right program for you" process does not really work and when it doesn't, you're left to figure out how to do keep playing with it until you come up with something you like. I guess for those who are determined to stick with WW because there are lots of things they like about it then it's worth it for them to keep whacking away until they get the results they can live with. But I honestly can't think that this is the way it was all supposed to go down.

Just my opinion based on ME and my mindset: I don't mind change, I really enjoy a challenge lol. However, I know, for me, labeling anything "free" or "zero" can be a slippery slope for my brain. I took the quiz a few times to wind up with the most amount of "countable" points and the lowest amount of "free" foods. I also know, because I'm a bit .. retentive lol.. I will track on my fitness pal as well for a few weeks to see where my macros fall.
