I had great success on the old Weight Watchers plan in 1989, if someone can help me with the food list, the exchanges, and what ever else I would need to get started I would appreciate your help more then you would know? To be honest I'm very scared at this point with the unknown.
I became immobile due to my right knee needing to be replaced. I weighed 329 pounds on July 29, 2007 that saved my life. I'm now at 183, however, I had lost down to 155 pounds. I've had a steady weight gain since about October causing me great concern. I've also had a total left hip replacement with a DePuy device which has been recalled, I have high levels of cobalt and chromium in my system. The specialist I've been seeing doesn't seem to know what to do. He just keeps sending me for test upon test, I guess trying to figure out what to do.
I know in the mean time I have felt sick since late June 2010, I'm not sure if it's the stress causing me to gain weight or the fact that I'm becoming immobile again due to the amount of pain I'm in and feeling sick all the time.
I had my right knee replaced, also with a DePuy device, I've continued to be in great pain with this device, and fluid that ponds just below my knee, with pain that shoots down into my shin bone. I keep being told that the x-rays show I'm fine however I know I'm not fine it hurts all the time. I doing my best to live with all of this pain and suffering I'm in.
I feel if I can find the Weight Watchers plan that helped me lose 50 pounds after the birth of my son in 1985 I could lose these extra pounds and keep them off.
Thank you for your time.

I do not have the data from that far back and I don't think the WW frozen foods have those exchanges on them any more. WW has a new Points Plus system, but I cannot find any site that tells you how to calculate the number of points you are allowed per day. But I can tell you how to calculate based on the older points system (it was just replaced recently--I think so WW could say it is a "new" program).
I know this is a very old post, but I still have to ask. Was there a base # of points? Using this formula I wind up with only 5 points for a day.
I believe the diabetic exchange diet is very similar, so you might want to look that up.
2 fruits
3+ vegies
2 dairy
3 fats
6 breads/grains
6 proteins
8 glasses of water
But how do I figure out what is in the frozen foods they sell now. It only tells the points? Is it possible to do so? I loved the old program too.
I have the meal tracker sheets, the introduction and then the first 5 weeks of the freedom plan. This was the best plan WW ever had. They should never have changed it.
Do consider a second opinion on the recalled hip replacement. Two people I know who had these hip replacements felt very sick. They felt it was the heavy metals in their systems. Both of them had the replacements replaced. Afterwards they did not feel ill all the time.
Try this used books site. Click on advanced search in the upper right corner to enter weight watchers and the years 1980 to 1990. I found a few titles. Good luck.
Am looking for a copy of the old weight watchers program. the one where you counted , fat, protein, dairy and so on

I am interested in the level1-2-3plan for males. Please send to lperry06354@yahoo.com
I have the meal tracker sheets, the introduction and then the first 5 week books. It gives you the foods in categories and then meal ideas, bonus foods, exchanges, etc. It is the plan where you had weekends off and you got 250 bonus calories per day that you could use or save.
I just found this post. Do the weekly books you have list new foods to the various categories each week? If so, I would love to get copies of those. I remember my husband lost 7 lbs the first week.
I have it. Just started on it last week. I've already lost 4 pounds. Send email to me. bpowell5512 AT yahoo.com
Please send me the 80/90 weight watchers program,
Thank you

I would love the plan too. I lost weight successfully in the 90's.
If you have copies of the 4 weeks of quick start plan could you email to me. It was a great program and I desperately need to start it due to health. The weekly sheets I would put on the fridge and could keep up with what I ate back then.
I would very gratefully like a copy of the old plan, it worked great for me.
