Weight Watchers Points Green

Weight Watchers Points Green

The new WW changes are here and everyone is excited to try a new plan! The WW Green Plan is the one I chose, so I wanted to make a guide for those of you who chose the same plan. I'll have a Purple and Blue Guide up soon! 🙂

Weight Watchers Green Plan

I chose the Green Plan for accountability. I'm doing this plan on the iTrackBites, but the info and advice are the same across the board – WW and iTrackBites are almost identical (iTrackBites just costs WAY less and I'm on a budget). If you are looking to do the Green Plan for free, read my post about it here.

WW Assessment

Not everyone is getting an assessment. Only new members are getting an assessment. Current members can take the assessment on the app or choose which plan they want to be on without the assessment.

Many WW members have reported NOT getting an assessment sent to them. Peek around the app and you can find the assessment if you'd like to take it. New members will get the assessment automatically.

How are SmartPoints Calculated?

The SmartPoints formula is based on:

• calories
• saturated fat
• protein
• sugar

How many SmartPoints do I get on the Green Plan?

You will get a minimum of 30 SmartPoints, being adjusted for height, weight, gender, etc.

Do I Get Rollover Points on the Green Plan?

You get 4 Rollover SmartPoints.

Does the Green Program Have FitPoints?

Yes! We love FitPoints and are thankful the plans will have them.

Does the Green Plan Have Weeklies?

Yes! That means you can have that protein bar for a snack or a low point drink in the evening (or morning – it's 5 o'clock somewhere!) without worrying about going off plan.

Pros and Cons of WW Green Plan

For me, the Green Plan provides accountability which is something I need. My wife switched to the PointsPlus program (on iTrackBites) and loves it, but we both have those boundaries and accountability needed for success. Some people can be successful without those boundaries and that is awesome!

Only 100 Zero Point Foods

Pros: better for those of us who need stricter parameters than Freestyle gives us, Easier to memorize 100 foods.

Cons: more foods to scan because we are used to 200 Zero Point Foods, may need some adjusting as far as not feeling as satisfied with 30 points because there are less Zero Point Foods.

Eggs, nonfat Greek yogurt, and chicken are points, which would be a HUGE adjustment for many of us. This could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how you look at it. If you tend to overeat some of the Zero Point foods on Freestyle, you may have better luck with a smaller list from the Green Plan.

Quick Recap of Weight Watcher's Green Plan

Here's a quick rundown of the Green Plan:

• SmartPoints start at 30 (vs 23 for Freestyle)
• 100 Zero Point Foods (vs 200 for Freestyle)
• 4 Rollover SmartPoints
• Weeklies
• FitPoints

With the Green Plan, foods like eggs and chicken have points. If you're used to living off of these types of foods, you may want to consider the Purple or Blue Plan! If you're over-eating zero point foods, you're going to love the Green plan. 🙂

If you are on life-time and you choose the Green plan, you will get 6 more points. Right now you get 5 more points on Freestyle.

The Instant Pot has been a big help in my wife and me losing weight. Meal planning has been an essential factor in our success with Weight Watchers. We are short on time, so we joined Instant Pot for Weight Loss and it jump started our weight loss in a BIG WAY! If you're intimidated by your electric pressure cooker, this is a way to get over it… fast. 🙂

Also check out my Ultimate Instant Pot Weight Watchers Guide and my 30 day weight loss results with Noom.

What to Eat on WW Green Plan

If you're wondering what a day on the Green Plan would look like, here's a great video that shows you what Carrie, a fellow WW vlogger, ate on the Green Plan this week.

In the book you get at the meeting you will find 5-Day Sample Meal Plans to help you get adjusted to the Green Program, including vegetarian and vegan meal plans.

Who is the WW Green Program best for?

The Green Plan is going to be great for those of you who have struggled with the freedom Freestyle has given. If you haven't lost much on Freestyle or have stalled after losing just a little bit, the Green Program may be perfect for you! It offers more boundaries, less freedom, and more accountability. If this is what you were looking for, try the Green Plan and let me know what you think.

Love those "grab n go" options like Zero Point deviled eggs, meal prep chicken breast, and nonfat Greek yogurt mixed in with everything under the sun to keep it low in points? The Purple Plan (Freestyle) may be a better option for you.

How Does the WW App Work With the New Plans?

The plan you choose will be reflected in your app. If your app is blue, you're on Freestyle (Blue Plan). If your app is green, you're on the Green Plan, and so on. Your WW app will still have an extensive food database, restaurant guide, and Connect – all based on the plan you choose.

While there is no time limit for switching plans, WW recommends giving each plan at least two weeks before changing. We know if a plan is working or it isn't, so use your best judgment and switch if you have to.

All of the plans are calculated with SmartPoints. The main difference in plans will be the number of zero-point foods you get, and how many foods you track.

The Bottom Line

I'm excited to try the Green Plan and would love to hear what you all think about it as well. Please leave a comment below! 🙂

Great Wallpaper but beware batch numbers

Anonymous - 1 year ago

Nice pattern, good quality paper and really easy to hang. This wallpaper is very forgiving when hanging and paste to wall works well. No messy pasted wallpaper to deal with.
Patten is quite difficult to match - best to use a torch shinning along the length of the join to highlight the pattern. Pattern repeat along the edge every 320mm, NOT as stated..
Beware mixing batch numbers - look for the number AND the date code. Different date codes have a good colour match but VERY POOR cut edge match. Make sure you have rolls from the same DATE CODE.

Can't match pattern and sides aren't straight

Jessburrage94 - 1 year ago

Impossible to line up on sides to give seamless finish and "click & collect" don't match batches so my patterns only match in certain areas.

Very pretty design and paper quality is nice. But if you want an impeccable match - this product isn't for you

Lovely pattern

Kim59 - 2 year ago

Beautiful pattern, really easy to hang. Had lots of compliments

Different colour to picture

Jade2892 - 2 year ago

I saw this wallpaper online and fell in love with the pattern. It was everything I wanted, white, simple and elegant. However when I went to buy it from my nearest store I noticed the leaf details were actually a yellow colour. I was very disappointed. If you wanted it to look like it does in the picture you would have to paint it white. Meaning more money and time.

Ship Bathroom

Ship Bathroom

Ship's toilet

The head on the beakhead of the 17th-century warship Vasa. The toilets are the two square box-like structures on either side of the bowsprit. On the starboard side, there are still minor remnants of the original seat.

The head (pl. heads) is a ship's toilet. The name derives from sailing ships in which the toilet area for the regular sailors was placed at the head or bow of the ship.

Design [edit]

In sailing ships, the toilet was placed in the bow somewhat above the water line with vents or slots cut near the floor level allowing normal wave action to wash out the facility. Only the captain had a private toilet near his quarters, at the stern of the ship in the quarter gallery.

The plans of 18th-century naval ships do not reveal the construction of toilet facilities when the ships were first built. The Journal of Aaron Thomas aboard HMS Lapwing in the Caribbean in the 1790s [now in the possession of the University of Miami and available online] records that a canvas tube was attached, presumably by the ship's sailmaker, to a superstructure [probably built by the ship's carpenter] beside the bowsprit near the figurehead, ending just above the normal waterline.

In many modern boats, the heads look similar to seated flush toilets but use a system of valves and pumps that brings sea water into the toilet and pumps the waste out through the hull (in place of the more normal cistern and plumbing trap) to a drain. In small boats the pump is often hand operated. The cleaning mechanism is easily blocked if too much toilet paper or other fibrous material is put down the pan.

Submarine heads face the problem that at greater depths higher water pressure makes it harder to pump the waste out through the hull. As a result, early systems could be complicated, with the head fitted to the US Navy S class submarine being described as almost taking an engineer to operate.^[1] Making a mistake resulted in waste or seawater being forcibly expelled back into the hull of the submarine.^[1] This caused the loss of German submarine U-1206.

The toilet on the World War I British E class submarine was considered so poor by the captain of HMS E35 that he preferred the crew to wait to relieve themselves until the submarine surfaced at night.^[2] As a result, many submarines only used the heads as an extra storage space for provisions.^[2]

Aboard sailing ships and during the era when all hands aboard a vessel were men, the heads received most of their use for defecation; for routine urination, however, a pissdale was easier to access and simpler to use.

Small Bathroom Rug Placement

Small Bathroom Rug Placement

When looking for a new rug to purchase for your home, it's likely you have an idea what room it's for. You probably have a color or design in mind, but you may not be sure what size rug is best for that room, as well as where exactly it should be placed. These factors are almost as important as the color and design. Don't allow your new rug to lose its shine because of your placement choice. Taking the time to learn about the importance of rug placement will help you avoid these four common rug placement mistakes.

1. A rug that is too small for the dining room table

The dining room is a perfect place for a rug, but only if it's the right size for the dining room table. A common mistake is choosing a rug that is so small that the dining room chairs come off the rug when pulled out. If the rug is too small, the chairs will constantly rub against and get caught on the edges of the rug. Whether your dining room table is rectangle, round or oval, there are ways to prevent this from happening.

To avoid this, allow for two feet from the edge of the table so that the chairs stay on the rug. A good rule of thumb is to go by the amount of chairs your dining room table holds.

The most ideal measurements are as follows:6 chair table: 8×10′, 8 chair table: 9×12′, 10 chair table: 10×14′

2. A rug that doesn't extend far enough beyond the edge of your bed

This mistake impacts both appearance and comfort. First off, if the rug isn't extending beyond the sides of your bed, you're hiding too much of the rug. Second, you're causing yourself to step on to the cold floor, which defeats part of the rug's purpose. The size of your rug should depend on the size of your bed. For the best results, a queen size bed should go on top of an 8×10′ rug. This allows 2 1/2 feet on either side of the bed for the design to show and your feet to land. A king size bed should have a 9×12′ rug, giving you 2'10" on either side. Going with these measurements will make all the difference.

3. A rug that looks like a floating island or a postage stamp in your living room

To prevent your rug from looking like a floating island or postage stamp in your living room, utilize your furniture. Most living rooms consist of couches, coffee tables and end tables, and a rug underneath helps to enhance that furniture and tie it all together. The living room has a little more flexibility than the dining room and bedroom. Decide if you want to place your furniture on or around the rug, or a combination of half on/half off. Just be careful that the rug size you select isn't too small for the space. If you have a large room with high ceilings, you want the rug to look proportionately sized.

4. A rug that covers an entire room, going right up to the edges of the walls

Instead of purchasing a rug that covers the entire room, allow your current floors to act as the border. A nice hardwood floor, tile or carpet border is bound to break up the room and add to the overall appearance. The recommendation is to have a two-foot border around the edge of your rug to show off your floor, and to prevent the rug from looking like wall-to-wall carpeting.

Don't worry if you're guilty of making these rug placement mistakes, you're not alone and they are fixable! If you're getting ready to purchase a new rug, keep these common mistakes in mind. It's important to make the most out of your rug purchase. Don't hide away those pretty and comfortable rugs, and don't place them in ways that don't show them off well. There's so much to consider when it comes to interior design, don't forget the rugs!
