HB Weightwatchers recipe book for £5.99 in WHSmith

The new electronic calculators don't use calories - just carbs/fat/protein/fibre to show propoints. You can also use it as a propoints diary, as it calculates your allowance for the week (+ 49 pp for the weeks' safety net). So if you calculate a meal's PP value you can deduct it off your weekly allowance on the calculator which will show you what's left. After a week, you're forced to recalculate your allowance (as your weight makes a difference) and may see a drop in daily points). If you go over allowance, it'll start deducting ProPoints from your weekly allowance of 49 ProPoints.

Quite good really and has helped me a lot, but I can understand the feelings of people on the Discover(points) plan, as they may have invested a small fortune in scales/calculators & books that are now useless.

Was thinking of going back to WW but this all sounds very complicated. Are there any other threads on here about it?

Thanks very much for this OP. I was looking for a new healthy-eating recipe book and this one seems perfect! My local WH Smith had none in stock so I rang the nearest town. Luckily they had just 1 of each of the 2 different ones in stock and are keeping for me until tomorrow.

My son was looking for a Captain Underpants book and again the local WH Smith was OOS but the other one had just 1 left and is keeping that too!

So, if you hadn't posted, I wouldn't be getting 2 books and my son would also be missing out. :j

Thanks! xx

WW website has a 'community' board might be worth popping onto it and looking at what members have to say about the new plan - its free to join and u can post any questions about the new plan on there...

Hope this helps...

Does anyone know if these are still on offer in store?

I have looked online but they don't seem to be showing, so maybe expired?

Just trying to save myself a wasted journey if I can......

Many thanks!
