I heard a rumor?..... - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Captain Ladybug · 11-14-2006, 03:17 PM

I was on another website and I heard a rumor that weight watchers is launching a new program for the new year. The person said they would hear more about the second week in December at their meeting.

Has anyone else heard about this new program?

I'm really curious. I know Weight Watchers usually put a new one out ever 2 years or so.

Anyway, let me know what you've heard Thanks!

Yes - there are changes a comin.
The way your target points are calculated is going to based on age, gender and lifestyle (activity level).

They will also focus more on the emotional aspect of weight loss and eating "until satisfied" and what that really means.

CORE is staying pretty much the same except for some definitition around "eat until satisfied".

Are they still going to keep the 35 flex a week or do you think they will do away with that? personally I loved when they had a range or if they would just have one target and no flex points to play with. They just kill me LOL

From what I've heard, all the basics are staying the same; the big change is how you calculate how many points you get - which I would think would affect your activity points but not your flex points.

We should know more soon - the official announcement is Dec 10th, but leaders are giving sneak peaks and hints.

There are also new program materials and handouts.

Also I know that it is rumored that soy milk will be considered a dairy product...

Really? I thought it already was as long as it was at least 25% calcium.

No with Winning Points it turned to a DIARY PRODUCT and 25% calcium was only part of the equation. It also had to have the same RDA amount of protein, zinc, riboflavin and Vitamin D along with the calcium.

Soy milk IS considered a dairy on the Core plan. Just saw it again this am when I was actually reviewing my Week 1 booklet.

Can you point me to the page then. Because in my Week 1 Booklet it is not included as a dairy. It is however considered a Core food but not a dairy serving. I just want to see for myself. TIA.
