We did the point system with WW last year and will go back soon. We've
been on "hiatus"for a few months! <G> One tip we followed that eliminated
most of the tedium of choosing foods from the pantry, fridge, or freezer,
was to mark every can, box, bag, etc., with the number of points per
serving as soon as we got home from the store. It made grabbing something
off the shelf simple and painless.
