80's Weight Watchers Plan

I am searching for the Weight Watchers weekly journals from the late 80s and 90s. I believe there were six weeks worth and then there was a large maintenance sheet where you filled in your daily progress, food categories, water, exercise, etc. This was the best program! I used it to return to my pre-pregnancy weight, five times. Now I'm approaching menopause and have had serious health issues and gained 60 pounds in one year. If anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Is the the plan that has the large diary sheet, maybe legal size? The plan booklet is paperback, orange, with the outline of a moving person on it? I have it.

Thanks for posting this information. I agree that the WW plan back then was better, and I'm going to try it again. The current plan seems too complicated to me. I also had great success with this previously.

Me again. Diet bites.com has tracking sheets, not the same as WW ones but should work. I hope you have inspired me to start.

I think if you look up diabetes exchange diet you will find about the same thing.
I, too, loved this program. You'd think WW would take a hint and bring it back.
I am going to try this (my version):
6 bread/starch
3+ vegies
2-3 fruit
2 dairy
6-8 protein
3-4 fat
8 water

I am looking for the Weight Watchers plan from around 1985. It contained booklets and I remember you got to add foods every week. Does anyone have this info?

RE: 80's Weight Watchers Plan

Hi Jamies65,
I was looking for the same thing and found the information today on this site. If you go to http://healthy.hillbillyhousewife.com/exchanges.pdf they have the Weight Watchers Exchange program. This is the original exchange program which is wonderful! I am so excited to find it and can't wait to start!

If you read down though these posts you will find a lot of great information regarding the weight watchers exchange program. Good luck and I hope this is helpful. (04/02/2009)

Does anyone have the old 4 week Weight Watcher's diet that was around in the middle 80s?

RE: 80s Weight Watchers Plan

I am thinking that you might browse used book stores, eBay, etc. for old Weight Watcher's guides. (04/28/2009)

I am looking for a chicken recipe that was in a Weight Watchers recipe book in the 1980s it had dried mushrooms, green peppers, and soy sauce (only ingredients I can remember). Any help would be greatly appreciated. (09/09/2009)
