- Are you completely unhappy with the switch from Weight Watchers PointsPlus program to SmartPoints?
- Not seeing the same results with SmartPoints that you were seeing with PointsPlus?
- Frustrated that you are paying the same membership fee but unable to take advantage of the eTools now that it's default set to calculate SmartPoints values?
- Tired of feeling defeated, discouraged, deprived, hungry and dismissed?
- Wouldn't it be great if EVERYONE could experience weight loss success?
If you answered yes to any of these, read on to find out why you should sign this petition! Don't forget to use the FB and Twitter icons to share this on your personal social media pages as well! It takes more than a few to make an army!
Let me begin by saying that the goal of this petition isn't for Weight Watchers to scrap SmartPoints. The goal of this petition is to persuade Weight Watchers to allow its members to choose between the two programs and make both available in eTools.
I decided to start this petition in response to the overwhelming and undeniable outcry by both current and former Weight Watchers members. After reading countless comments in various forums and social media feeds from other members who feel Weight Watchers is ignoring the pleas to bring back PointsPlus, it seemed as though Weight Watchers wasn't hearing people individually.Thus the need for a collaborative effort!
Representatives are quick to credit science and research as proof that the new SmartPoints program is better than the PointsPlus program. Many argue that SmartPoints encourages making healthier food choices. However, Weight Watchers forgot one very important variable in their research process - its members! Science cannot determine what the people want. And, well, let's be honest - a person can just as easily "work the points" on SmartPoints as they could on PointsPlus. No doubt, SmartPoints works for some, but the fact of the matter is, there are just as many (if not more) who found greater success with PointsPlus. As with any weight loss program, it is what you make it.
It's time Weight Watchers start listening to its members! Whether you are currently a member or a former member, please join us in this fight to be heard! Success for all!
Thank you for your support! It is greatly appreciated! Now, help get the word out!
I challenge each signer to the following:
- Use the Facebook and/or Twitter icons on this page to share this petition on your page!
- Personally find at least 2 people to sign! There are a number of ways to do this! Email the link, tag someone, take it to your weekly meeting, etc. (Don't forget to pass on the challenge!)

The stories coming in about your own personal struggles with the switch are eye-opening. I am currently organizing these into a formal request for the company.

I lost 86 lbs on Points Plus and gained 20 back on Smart Points. We should have a CHOICE of which system to use, otherwise I'm not PAYING for the program anymore!
Loss 60 lbs to lifetime and weight watchers wants me to change because they say so?? No weight watchers i quit and following a program you put in my head 5 years ago and did wonderful on it! Bring back points plus!!
Feel let down ww should let us decide what plans to follow, I had to leave my meeting as leader said she would no longer support me, smart points does not work for me,
Yes - Bring back points plus! I have been a lifetime member of weight watchers for 14 years and I have never felt so little motivation or such discouragement on the plan as I have with the smart points. I have also never felt as hungry on the plan as I do a smart points. Points plus worked – bring it back!
I finally cancelled my monthly pass membership yesterday. I just can't stick with SmartPoints and have been gaining weight rather than losing on this plan. I miss Points Plus so much and am really disappointed that all of my recipes I had entered in Points Plus were lost in the transition to their new web design too. This program and transition was very poorly designed.
I HATE Smart Points and quit WW altogether after gaining weight back. Please bring back points plus or at least give options on which plan can be used.
I hate smartpoints, points plus was very successful for me

I don't like the newest program, Smart Points, because it's not real life eating. Points Plus taught me how to eat and lose weight in the real world. Please bring it back, maybe offering both. This would allow your clients choices. I'll be discontinuing Weight watchers as soon as I finish signing this petition.
