A note on personal WW points:
Many of you are asking if I'll be adding the new WW Personal items to my recipes, and right now I'm not sure how to do that as each item is different. But right now I'm adding links to my recipe builder, see the orange button on the print recipes button that shows my personal points. Click on that and it will take you to the WW website where you can see the dots and add them to your tag (US only, you need to be logged into your account). I hope to find a solution to adding points as I know many of you would like to take a look at the points before doing anything.
