go to weight watchers in england. there will be a site that has the diet. It looks great. It will have free veggies and fruits. it starts november 28th. I can not wait.

Fruits and vegetables are not free. They are 0 points for one serving but multiple servings eaten at the same time can have points. There is a difference between free and 0 point.

Every couple of years they tweak the program. Sometimes I think it is truly as they have learned through research as well as trial and error what works best. However, at other times, I think the changes and "new program" they advertise is a market tool.
They are a business like any other.
I will assess whatever this new program may be and I look forward to it. But, if I find it hard to follow, I can always stay with what I have now. The main difference for me is that I actually have to stick with it and live the program for it to work. This program we now have will work if I follow it.
So, as our holiday season approaches and more and more eating opportunities come my way, I have to find a way to live, eat, have good times but not over indulge - or when I do overindulge I need to make up for it.

This is the first major plan change since points came out 13 years ago. I heard the same remarks then about how much better the old program was and how many were not going to change. Nothing changes when it comes to human behavior.

I look forward to the new plan. I've been on every WW plan since the beginning and each one has worked better than the one before.

I seem to recall that "major change" thing being brought up a few years ago with the CORE plan, we shall all see soon.
I started WW in 1991 and have tried each plan since. I'm a lifetime member. One thing I have learned all these years since reaching goal for the first time is that no plan will make or break my success (though it can surely help) what truly makes me a success is ME and what effort I put into it. I'm here and I am motivated, so whatever the new program is will hopefully add to my accomplishments?

December 6th
 

I am doing the WW on-line program and received an email that information will be on-line Dec. 6th. Very curious to see what it will look like.

I found a calculator for the new ProPoints in Europe. If the new US program is like this, it will definetly be a whole new deal. :)

Dang. If I am entering this in right, my High Fiber oatmeal just went from 3 points a packet (current plan) to 4.9 points a packet (judging by that calculator link). :eek: I didn't like the oatmeal anyway, haha, but it's an example:

Calories: 160
Fat: 2g
Total Carbohydrate: 34g
Dietary Fiber: 10g
Protein: 4g

But if 29 is the new lowest daily, I go back up from my current 27 points anyway. :D

Baked Chicken, no skin, 4oz:
Calories: 140
Fat: 3g
Total Carbohydrate: 0g
Dietary Fiber: 0g
Protein: 27g

Currently 3 points, propoints calculator 3.2 pts.

This will be... interesting :s:

This was from the WW blog this morning:

community DOT weightwatchers DOT com / Blogs / userblog DOT aspx ? blog ID = 1039387


Hoping this works. You need that http thing with the : and the two / before you put the rest in your browser.

I'm excited about the changes. I've been doing WW for a couple of months now and I'm doing ok on it, but if its gonna be better and healtier, I'm all for it.

ACK! If that's the new formula...my current fat free ice cream/ frozen yogurt Edys Blend went from 1 pt per serving to 5.


Boooo...



It's not like I eat it a lot...but it was my "guilty pleasure"


I'll have to find a new one. :) I get what they're saying, and it makes sense. At least servings of fruit if it's true will be zero per serving.

I'm pumped about free mangoes. haha

And don't forget you will get more daily and weekly Points.

That is true. It was just a shock to see that much of a jump. I was thinking...ok...it'll be worth like 3pts or something. haha. 5.1
