You'll likely get 29 points.

I lost a lot of weight on the old ww, but since points plus is out I'm having a harder time staying with it. if ur not planning on attending meetings anyway, go with the tried-and-true old plan. I have a feeling points plus won't stay too long.

I'm actually having a much easier time on the new plan. All fruits are free, and I have a fruit salad with banana, mango, and pineapple most days, which would have been quite a few points in the past, and am still losing weight.

I like that the new plan gives you more leeway with protein, so overall I'm able to have a healthier diet. I have not been hungry at all on this plan, unlike the older one, and I often find I have a few extra points at the end of the day that I can treat myself with.

I think I am eating more food than before, but it's also a lot healthier. The new plan was introduced in Europe a lot earlier than in the States, too, so it's been around a lot longer than you'd think. I also did the same research before starting, trying to figure out which one to go on, and I found that most people like the new plan better. It probably has a lot to do with what types of foods you eat. If you have a diet low in fruits and vegetables and high in unrefined carbs, I would think that it would be harder than the old plan, but part of the idea is to encourage you to eat healthier.

The points are calculated differently, and foods higher in protein have lower points than foods with the same calories that are higher in carbs.

I don't put anything on the fruit salad-- it's yummy just as is Smile
