Video

Love your video, I just shelled out for the 14 day pass. The reason I did this was because I was having anxiety issues after watching (too) many videos about the Shinkansen. I had enough so I bit the bullet and I feel much better. I’m an experienced Asia traveler but the Shinkansen thing was driving me nuts. I booked on Klook which had better price than JR and they threw in free eSIM (3GB data only) but one less thing to worry about getting off the plane.

I’ve used the Simply Filling Plan , it was the best over 35 years that works for me👍🏻 WW will continue changing plans , it’s how they make $$ ,what plan worked for you and stick with it, it’s not easy but worth it. There are a lot of videos on about every WW plan , you should still have your books or calculators. Just type in Purple Plan on CZcams and you will have a lot to choose from🥰

We didn’t experience any of these issues or concerns with the Jr Pass. It was very easy to reserve seats for 9 people. And like someone else said, you don’t have to make a reservation to ride. There are certain cars that care for unreserved. JR Rail pass is amazing! Very efficient and effective. But hey to each its own.. All of my trains were quiet and not packed with tourists. I think she is just nit picking every little thing. Smh…

I'm glad I stumbled upon your video. I completely get what you're driving at. I was sort of on the fence re getting a regional JR Pass. This video helped me make up my mind not to buy JR Pass. Thank you!

Wondering if you have trouble changing your water amount. I've been trying to switch from 8 oz to 10 oz and I finally got it to work one day and then the next day it was back to 8 oz. Software glitch?

Can direct me to where I can get more information on the activity portion of my app? I have asked a lot of people and looked in the app, no one seems to know the answer, evern at the in person workshops. I don't understand why I only earn 1 to 3 extra points per day. How does it work? How do you get more points? I do have a tracker attached. Is there a formula somewhere?

How are you doing? ❤️

❤

Thank you for this information. I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I’m willing to spend a bit more to reduce travel stress.

how much of the 0 point food in one setting are u allowed does it go by portion size or weight ?

Hope all is well ❤️❤️

Hello, so I think im gonna do the Nozomi green bullet train for all the cities i visit. Not doing the JR pass. Do you recommend for them to be bought online or is it better to buy at the station kiosk the day of the trip?

CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW, IN THE NEW 2024 VERSION OF WW TO QUICK ADD FOODS? THANKS.

WHAT WAS/IS THE PURPLE PLAN?

Neaygoja to herroschima

Hi Manya, I recently did a trial of Slimming World and it seemed like how I remember the Purple Plan (so carbs like brown rice, pasta, quinoa and potatoes are "free foods" as well as fruit, veg, fat free yogurt, eggs, lean meat etc.). I felt that the plan was a bit stingy in terms of treats though, I always seemed to go over my allowance and it was discouraging. I'm thinking of going back to WW 😊

Hi! Thanks for the info. What happen if im stating in Ossaka and i need to go to hiroshima and tokyo? What pass can I use?

I always buy the JR pass when I plan on traveling. We usually go to Yokohama Station, where the lines are short or nonexistent. I’m sorry you had a horrible experience but that was not our case. We take the Hikari to Kobe in the green class and it was quiet and comfortable. Same on the Sanyo, Sakura and Hokuriku. Since the prices have gone up, I calculated how much it would cost for individual tickets compared to the pass. IThe 11:26 pass still came out cheaper than individual tickets. I also usually book hotels that are close to the station. Too bad they got rid of the cart. We usually bought ice cream on board. I don’t need the Japanese experience since I grew up in Japan. I am Japanese American and yes, I can speak Japanese. My husband, who is Chinese American prefers to go to Japan. I went to China once and I never want to go back.

Still helpful .❤️

Hi! I missed this one! Great tips! I do the purple plan a day or two a week or just when I’m extra hungry. I stay at 16 points those days . ❤️❤️

Thanks for re-posting some of your previous videos, Manya - still so useful.

Hi. Do you know if you can weigh your final recipes out in grams instead of portions/servings please?

Ich verfolge für mich alleine den violetten Plan und es funktioniert. Ich habe alle alten Unterlagen und einen Smart Points Rechner. Es geht auch so. Völlig Kostenlos und ohne WW. Ich bin aus 🇦🇹Austria. Mein Land hat sich leider letztes Jahr schon von Weight Wachter getrennt. Ich lasse mich aber gerne von solchen Videos wie dieses hier motivieren um dran zu bleiben und meinen Gewichtsverlust zu halten👍🏻

What worked for me in 2006 was Turnaround, and I maintained a 40-50 pound loss until I lost a few friends during Covid. When I tried Purple, each day I'd do a tally in my mind of Turnaround points, and I was somehow always on target! Now I want to try Turnaround eating mostly Purple foods like the healthy grains, oatmeal, lean meats, fruit and veggies, etc. I've got tons of paper trackers from ebay, so this is my plan. Track Turnaround with Purple in mind.

Thank you for your honesty. I enjoy your videos. I to do best when I eat a more plant based diet. Starches and veggies make me feel awesome. I love beans.........but I really don't care for meats. I do like fish every once in a while. I can't have dairy, nuts, and many spices due to allergies........so I am always having to change recipes I get and etc. I think the purple plan would be awesome for me, but since it don't exist anymore.........I am on the new plan, which I hate having to weigh and measure every starch I eat.......Starch makes up most of my meals and even desserts, since I use sweet potatoes for making cookies, muffins. I can't do fake sugars, or sugar free junk it breaks me out in hives.....so sugar, or date sugar or just date paste is my go to. Could you maybe make a video showing how I could maybe do the purple plan now either with the app or another app. Thank you very much.

I'm on WW, is there a site i can go to to try to follow the purple? I'm just doing WW via the app, no meetings.

I wish purple was still available. How do you feel now that your back to eating meat. Do you still eat as many potatoes and rice? Personally, I am struggling on WW new plan...because I don't eat eggs, dairy, meat and etc......not even tofu.........so that leaves me eating veggies and I eat starches......but not losing.

I miss Purple! It taught me about foods I didn't even know existed, like amaranth. So healthy!

Would you recommend the regional JR passes as opposed to a full one?

Thank you for the valuable information!🌹

1 serving of traditional peanut butter is 190 calories. 1 serving of any of these powdered brands are between 45- 60 calories per serving. Unless you are diabetic and watching your sugar intake, powdered form is a great route and the sugar is a non factor. Also, 1 packet of Stevia to all of these selections makes for a sweeter flavor. Great video.

Hi! Excellent video.. I use chronometer once in awhile to track the macros and yeah it’s a pain! I’m Slowing losing on WW but finding it easy to follow now . On a 63 day tracking streak. Down 6 pounds in those 2 months. Thanks for the information. Stay well! ❤❤

I just started WW this week. I don’t see the sleep section on the app. Was it changed?

Hi! Hope all is well ❤️❤️

How to you erase a number?

Do you like this new plan as well as the purple plan. I have been watching your purple plan videos. For me eating plant based, I believe the purple plan would do best. Are you not eating plant based anymore, more meats now.

Most JR people in the ticket offices do NOT speak English. This woman is out of her mind!

Do you recommend bus? And is not bus cheaper?

I am in Tokyo now Yes it is my misstated to buy JR pass return I lose 20% also I need to return the unused exchange order by tracked delivery the fee is cost me too if I see your CZcams I will not lose my money and also it not convenient at all you need to transfer even I bought a green card it not worked and first class convenience like the way you thought not recommend for to buy a green card you can buy a single ticket at the station ( from Tokyo to Osaka first class 1 way only $20000 JPY ) it will cost you less where ever you want to go( JR pass they charge me $476 USD / 7 days pass ) only pick you at your nearby station location and on the way back they drop you off the same station, even I am asking on the way back I asked for drop me off at Haneda airport they said I need transfer by my own OMG even you have your Green card ( do not listen to some people recommend to buy JRPass on CZcams) 🍁 🇨🇦

Love this video, I am on WW and wish they had the purple plan still. I eat vegan.

Hi, I don’t understand whats the difference between jr pass green car and faster train green car? where can I find more info?

Sitting here nodding my head the whole video through lol!! Yes yes and yes on your tips! Stay well ❤️❤️

Hello, excellent video, I'm going to Japan in April, is it worth buying the jrpass or buying a separate ticket for each route? I will stay 18 days (4-osaka, 4-kyoto and finally 10-tokyo) with the unlimited jrpass, can I go normally or will I still need to pay extra to get to Osaka? But my biggest initial question is whether it's worth getting the jrpass to go from Haneda to Shin Osaka, could you help me please? thanks (I'm using the translator, sorry)

Not a meal prep fan either! After a few days its boring & not very fresh tasting.

I wish that WW had the purple plan still. I eat a plant based diet which is mostly starches and veggies with beans. Under the purple plan the zero point foods were foods I eat mostly. On the WW plan now, the zero points foods I do not eat except for the veggies. I don't eat dairy, meat, fish eggs, tofu, corn, popcorn and etc. How could I do the purple plan and still use the app, do you think it is possible or not?

❤

Good tips! 😊
