on 3/29/2009 There is a site that lists the points values of some foods, just google "weight watcher points list for gamers" Why gamers? I don't know but that's how you find it. Then there is a weight watcher points calculator where you can input the calories, fat and fiber and IT will calculate the value for you. Also you can use the WW message boards for free without being signed up, just register for the site for free. Finally, there are some yahoo groups that have a lot of the info in files and excel spreadsheets of the daily journals and what not. How do I know all this? I do weight watchers for free, from home. I've lost 76 pounds doing it this way. Good article but just wanted to let everyone know what else is out there! I feel bad but not everyone can afford a weight loss program who needs one.
