pwdebbie, you had me worried there for a moment--so I did some frantic googling and finally found the article I read last week.

I also found the nutrition info for Guinness on Livestrong, and did the points myself--came out to 1 pt, seems to be low carb?? Like I said, voodoo magic.
Well, per justdietnow.com, a 12 oz Guinness Stout or a pint of Guinness draught is 4 PPV. On a 2011 WW community thread, a pint of Guinness was listed at 6 PP (the old system, prior to PPV). Just be aware!
On my etools tracking (and my "book", the one with the a-z foods), you can plug in just about any amount of ff greek yogurt and it comes up 0 points. I never would even have considered it (figured it would be, you know, not worth it) but my leader mentioned it as a "free" food in the meeting.
I use e-tools and consistently find 3 or 4 points for Greek yogurt, fat free. Is any one else finding this?
Now I am wondering if the Canadian program and the US program are different somehow? It seems odd to me that the differences would be that extreme, but I can't come up with any other reason. I have 28 pts (or rather "Points PLUS!"
) a day, at a BMI of 33, plus 49 weekly points. Is that comparable?
I have 26 points a day and yes, the weekly points are 49. I don't know if Canada and US programs are different.
Congrats to you, pwdebbie, Lynn and Karyn on your losses this week! Your totals are inspiring to me, still officially in the single digits.
Dizzyr, I sooo know what you mean about the pics! I have a pic of me when I was at goal, with my kids at KSC, as my wallpaper--the last pic I was happy to be in! (And 60 lbs and 7 years later, I still sometimes use it as my fb profile.
Hey, if you're my fb friend and you don't know the difference, it's not my job to disillusion you!) Good luck with your plan. Personally I can't eat that little, I usually eat half my points by the time I'm finished lunch.
