WW assigns "points" to foods based on the nutritional values of the food. You are given a set number of points each day to use and a set of "Good Health Guidelines" to follow. GHGs are things like 5 servings of fruits and veggies, 2sevings of dairy, etc. So you "budget" your food choices using the points and following the good health guidelines. You are also given a set of "Weekly Points Allowance" to use in addition to your daily points. Weekly points can be used however you want or you can choose mot to use them. You also get extra points for exercise. I love the plan. Hope that helps a little. - vernswifevickie  348.6 #416 8:18AM

Thanks it helps a lot:) I've asked a couple people and all they tell me is oh you eat points.. You cleared up a lot for me. Im almost due with my first child and after that I know it's going to be tough for me to lose the weight - kayrassaCM  25.7 #4606 8:40AM

WW didn't work for me. I have still lost some weight but I won't credit it to WW. I credit it to busting my bum in the gym and making healthier eating choices. - candymation  286.1 #692 2:27PM
