Weight Watchers Form

By Laura Moncur @ 6:46 am — Filed under:

I love to create forms. Every time I start a new project, I usually fire up Microsoft Excel to create a form for it. I don’t know why. I think it might be genetic because when I taught my biological father to use Excel, he loved it as much as I did.

So, I started Weight Watchers on Monday and by Tuesday, I was creating a form for myself. In the past, I used to keep track of my points on my Palm, but Weight Watchers made the creator of the software stop, and it’s kind of buggy, so I decided to keep track on paper. The Quick Track that Weight Watchers gave me, however, will not fit in my journal, so I made a weekly sheet that would be easy to carry and when I was done with the week, I can put it in my handwritten journal with the rest of my pages.

You can download it here:

A special thank you to regular reader, Kelly, for creating a version of this form that fits in a smaller planner:

There is room to check off all the good health guidelines and even check off your multi-vitamin, which is strangely missing from the Quick Track now. There is room each day to write down everything you eat, track your fitness goals, and the Flex Points.

Of course, this form is for the Flex Plan. I’ve never tried the Core Plan, so you’re on your own with that one.

Hope this helps someone besides me!

Update 11-19-07: If you like these forms, but aren’t really spreadsheet savvy, I can print up a year’s worth for you and send it to you for $15. For more information, see here:

Update 03-03-08: A special thank you to Kelly for creating a version of this form that will fit into your 3 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ planner from Daytimer or Coach.

    This is awesome!! Thanks so much, I am forwarding this to a bunch of my friends.

    Have you heard anything about the new flex points system? I read that you can now personalize your daily points, so rather than base your daily points just on your current weight, a variety of factors are considered.

    Also, they say they now have 4 levels of exercise for calculating activity points. You once had the formulae for activity points here, do you by chance have the new formulae?

    Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much!!! I could not find anything to track my points (besides going to every meeting and getting a new booklet). You’re a lifesaver (dietsaver too)!

  7. Sara Says:

    This is EXACTLY what I was trying to recreate and lost patience on. THANK YOU!!

  8. Kathy Says:

    Thank you so much for creating the chart - now - will you come cook for us? ;-)

  9. Kim Says:

    Thanks, I googled to see if I could find a tracking sheet without having to create my own and yours rocks! I will pass this on to others!

  10. Tam Says:

    Thank you. This is so awesome. I love how the box becomes an x when you change the q to an x. I will be using this on my Palm T/X.

  11. Lynn Says:

    Thank you sooo much!! My daughter & I just rejoined WW last night and I thought I grabbed everything I needed for the day BUT forgot my tracker. It’s so much easier to fill this in rather than write it down on paper until I get home. Thanks again for being kind enough to do this for everyone!!!

  12. Kim Hal Says:

    Hi-Just wondering if you have a form to help keep track of weight loss for a group. We are starting a support group at work and wanted to track everyones progress. Thanks, Kim

  13. Laura Moncur Says:

    Kim,

    Sorry, no I don’t. I just use these things myself and share what I use. I don’t keep track of other people, so I haven’t created a form to do something like that.

    Best of luck,
    Laura

  14. Tamara Says:

    Thanks. Here I go again. Wish me luck.

    Thanks. This will say me some money. You must be in either Finance or Accounting. And yes here I go again too. I turn 40th next month. I will not be a size 7 by next month, but at least I have got a goal.

  16. Mona Says:

    this is great! Thanks!i am ordering one .

  17. Theresa Shepard Says:

    Do you still have this form you made? It doesn’t seem to be available on this website. Can you send it to me as an attachment in my email? This would be awesome. Thanks!

  20. Tami Says:

    Hi This was so nice of you to put online! It was exactly what I was hoping to find. I am a lifetime member of WW but havent been attending meetings. 30 pounds later I am counting points again but not wanting to attend meetings. I have new points books…and now I have your awesome chart! Very cool! So very appreciated! Tami

  21. Jana Says:

  25. nomes07 Says:

    thanks for the form - anything with easily to follow structure is a godsend!

  26. Barbara Says:

    This is great. I’ve fiddled with doing this many times and always gave up in frustration–you’re a genius!

  27. Shannon Says:

    Hi, I just downloaded your pages because I NEED to start tracking again, 15 pounds later and I finally realize this :) I was wondering how this is supposed to print? Is is supposed to fit on one page? I can’t get it to.
    Thanks for doing this !!!

  28. Bev Says:

    Thanks for the form!

    Shannon - If this doesn’t print on one page, save it to excel on your computer (assuming you have excel) by clicking File > Save As > and then putting it somewhere on your computer. Then open it from your own excel, click File > Page Setup > Page. Under here you can click a button that says Fit to: (enter 1 page wide by 1 page tall). Then it fits on one page and you have the form saved on your computer.

  29. debbie cluff Says:

    Thank you so much for posting this. Can you email it to me. My computer is being ridiculous and will not open it :)

  30. Crissy Says:

    I tried to download form and excell says the file is corrupt or read-only. Any ideas how to fix this?

  31. Laura Moncur Says:

    Crissy,

    All you have to do is Save-As and save it to a new file and it should work just fine.

    Best,
    Laura
