Hello verntina
Since you are a member at Weight Watchers meetings, you can sign up as
a member of their web site. The eTools section has an online points
calculator. “Your online Journal instantly calculates POINTS for more
than 16,000 foods.” It also provides you with meal plans and recipes
“You can find an eTools access code in your Weight Watchers eTools
brochure or Week One Getting Started booklet, which can be picked up
at most US meeting locations.”
“By Fax or Mail
1. Make a photocopy of your Weight Watchers Membership Book (front and
back). You must show meeting attendance within the last two weeks.
Lifetime members must demonstrate attendance within the past four
weeks. 2. On the photocopy, please clearly write the following
information: - your first and last name - your daytime phone number
- your home zip code - your email address - the date of your last
meeting Then, please sign and date the photocopy
3. You can send this photocopy to us in the following ways: - fax to
the following number: 1-800-427-6814

I have also found the following resource, which can be downloaded.
However, it requires you to enter the calories, fat and fiber values
for each food you want to list.
“MS Excel Journal and Points Calculator
This spreadsheet allows you to keep track of the food consumed for a
period of one week and will calculate a point value when entering
calories, fat, and fiber values. The equation used to calculate the
point value is not the same one used by a popular weight loss program
but will give you exactly the same answer. This spreadsheet is an
electronic version of the sliderule and the paper journals they give
you at your first meeting. You can also keep information on your
favorite foods in a data sheet so you don't have to look it up in a
book every time you want to include it in your meals. Instructions are
included in the spreadsheet.”

Otherwise, it appears that Weight Watchers clamp down hard on anyone
who tries to provide any resource linked to their points system Here
are links to sites that used to offer a points calculator but were
forced to remove it:
