Now, chocolate hummus is another of those foods that divides opinion in the world of Weight Watchers members! Some love it, some don't.

I’m very sad to report that the WW bar code scanner is wrong, and that Trader Joe’s Vegan Mint Chip Bon bons are 5 points for each individual Bon Bon. NOT for 8 pieces! Part of the blame belongs to Trader Joe’s, who lists the serving size as the entire box of 8 Bon bons.
Beware: Eight Bon Bons has 560 calories and 42 grams of fat!

re the bonbons... I am reminded of something my mom used to say, "if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true"

I am so happy WW went “back to basics”! I stopped using WW about 1-1/2 years ago because my plan changed and I was used to having 0 points for fruit. I got aggravated and stopped my subscription. But, as we all know, nothing works as well as WW for losing weight in a healthy way! So last week I decided to start again, and just adapt to the new plan…SO delighted to see they went back to “how things were” - and fruit is ZERO points again! Now to list my last 18 pounds (down 30 pounds from my highest) - thanks, WW! ????
