Weight Watchers Plans

[annetoin]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me the difference between the WW original 123 plan and the new plans that have come out over the past several years. I did the original plan and I loved it. As I was reading some WW info online, I noticed the points range changed. My maximum amount of points was 29 and now I noticed they changed it to 27. I want to go back on the plan because of the flexibility, but do not want to "subtly" starve myself for the sake of seeing results to report at the meetings. Winning points, Flex Points...what is all of this? It appears to be more tedious.

Any help would be appreciated.

There are two plans, Flex Points and Core.

For Flex, you get a set number of points that you eat each day(you are supposed to eat them all each day). On top of that you get 35 extra points per week to use as you wish. You can spread them out equally and use 5 points per day or save them for the weekend or a splurge meal. The daily points are:
under 150 lbs - 20 pts
150-174 lbs - 22 pts
175-199 lbs - 24 pts
200-224 lbs - 26 pts
Add two points per 25 lbs above that.

For Core you don't count points and instead have a group of food you can choose from and "eat until satisified".
Vegetables and fruits
Soups (non-creamy)
Whole Wheat Pasta, Brown Rice, Potatoes and Grains
High Fiber and other cereals without added sugar
Lean Meats, poultry, fish and eggs
Fat-Free Milk Products
Healthy Oils
Condiments
Coffee, Tea and sugar-free beverages

I've never done the Core plan, but had great success with Flex. Hope this helps!
