Default Weight Watchers Books and literature.

I am new to this. I used weight watchers for a while but I never signed up for the meetings or anything. I bought the books and all of the info on ebay and I was wondering about the new Weight Watchers 2011 info. I want to join Weight Watchers on-line and I and since I have never done it before, so I was wondering when I sign up will I get the books and info from weight watchers with the membership or will I have to purchase them separately?
Any bit of info would help......thank you

I think if you are a member, when you go in to weigh during the week it launches you'll get a new calculator/slider and a start up book. That is what they did when they introduced the core plan. I like the idea of a new plan, but I rely heavily on my old weight watchers cookbooks...I guess I'll just have to go thru my favorite ones and favorite recipes and redo the points. It rolls out in Canada December 6th.

ok - so any of you in the US have you checked out the new plan online?
I'm wondering how you figure out your daily points allowance on the new plan... on the old plan I get 24 pts per day.....

I'm in Canada and they aren't launching the new program till our meeting next week... but I think you guys in the US have access to it today!

anyways if anyone can tell me I'd appreciate it!

There is a questionaire when you log in. If your ticker is right you are likely going to be at 29 daily points though. I'm at 196.8 and am 5'4" and get 29 points and that is the minimum.

If you go to meetings when you weigh in they give you your points. I went to a meeting Sunday and got my points there but also got it online since I do recording online.

Is anyone else having trouble with logging in to the weight watcher website? I am not able to access my account to add my points for the day. I have my meeting tomorrow so I assume they are hiding the website from me till then.

I hope this new point system is something I will be able to do. I like weight watchers because it is almost effortless. I wont like it as much if I it is more work.

Trying clearing your cache.

So far the program doesn't seem like more work except that you do have to calculate the new points. I'm sure that as time goes on I will remember foods that I eat a lot so I think it will be fine.

Can you order books, points calculators, and food scales online on the WW online site?

I am not seeing them but I haven't joined yet either.

Has anyone checked out Wiki? They posted the new calculation for the US ProPoints. Just google Weight Watchers Wiki.

I'm wondering if it works for most items?

I'd love to know my daily points allowance.
I'm 5'8" female and I weight 180 at the moment, looking to weight 165.
Anyone got some tips on that?

Oops, I'm 25

Is there an online calculator yet for this? Or an easier formula? I'm in dire need for more information of this plan and Canada is keeping us out of the loop until who knows when. I called a couple centers in my province and they were not willing to say when the official date was for the release of PointPlus.

this was a good point- if you have more weight to lose, what happens? anyone talk to a leader about this? (i do WW online)
