I recently found your site and have been printing recipes like crazy! I love it! But yeah, just change your wording a little bit and we will still understand it. WW needs to understand that not everyone can afford to pay a monthly fee and sit in meetings. Especially now a days. But please....don't leave us! This is the pits!!

I found your site to be easier to navigate than Weight Watchers. I am a lifetime Weight Watchers member and see no reason why both of you can't contribute to the success of millions of people who desire to lose weight in a healthy manner eating delicious food.

I can even find stuff to "surprise my hubby with" he never has to know, that it was a WWESQUE RECIPE. I've been a member with WW's since 2001. Never have made it to goal. But still I try.....-55 lbs. And counting. I can believe WW'S would do this to you, since there is nothing in it for them.....they have made ALOT OF MONEY OFF ME! we drew the line with the online site when they first started it.....$29 monthly! HA! My husband is an I.T. GUY...He said NO WAY, THAT IS RIDICILOUS! since he hosted many different sites. Even though, the site would have been awesome to have, we boycotted! We knew then.....IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, WE'LL KEEP READING!! YOU ARE MUCH APPRECIATED!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR RECIPES!

I just restarted WW and have looked at several other blogs recently for recipes. Most talk simply list calories, fiber, fat grams so you can compute points yourself. It is really easy to google WW points calulator so you can convert to points yourself. I agree that this is a silly postion for a huge company to take....especially when it helps them in the long run. Thank you so much for bogging. Deb I just found your blog and also love it.

I just found your site today and your issues with Weight Watchers. I work for a law firm and it doesn't surprise me a bit - you'd be amazed at how greedy huge corporations get when they think they might be missing out on a nickel somewhere amongst their billions. But, as you said "it is what it is" and I'm THRILLED you're not letting it stop you because you've helped me tremendously just in the past hour! Thanks! Hi!

I am still listing the points value for all the recipes, but I can't use the term "Points" or "Weight Watchers Points". So, I'm currently using "Point Total", which is a phrase that is NOT trademarked by Weight Watchers. You wouldn't believe the hard time they are giving me about this stuff! Basically, I'm just trying different terms and seeing if Weight Watchers will let me use it. It's really ridiculous. I still want it to be as close to the WW terminology as possible so that people can understand. As for Hungry Girl, she has an affiliation with Weight Watchers, which is why she is allowed to use their trademarked property. She has many more subscribers than I do, and that's why WW is working with her. Hi Kristin,

You may want to look into how Hungry-girl uses points values. I guess they probably pay to be able to do that. I like the idea of using starts instead of points. I guess Weight Watchers fails to realize that sites like this help me stay motivated, so I stay on track and keep going to meetings and they keep getting my money. Oh, well.

Sorry to hear about WW coming in and asking you to change things. Just a thought, what if you did the points with the alphabet. A-0, B-1, C-2 etc.... I also think the idea of the stars would work. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the great posts. I just found your site and very excited to see everyday recipes on it. Sorry to hear about WW coming in and asking you to change things.

I'm very health conscious and my fiancee is very picky and this site REALLY helped me come with ideas that we can both enjoy. It's a shame that WW is being such a stickler. Good luck with the revamp and keep posting the awesome recipes! I just found your website today and I'm already in love.
