Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / December 2006New WW program
Has anyone gone to a meeting this week to get the new materials? I'll be at one tomorrow and I am ready for a fresh start! Audrey Well...I went yesterday...Really seems like a whole lot of hype for very little...Maybe I'm just jaded...I expected some big changes...But really WW worked fine for me as it was...Nice new point lookup card...Pretty pictures...But really not much new in my humble opinion...I'm interested in what others thinks...GG > Has anyone gone to a meeting this week to get the new materials? I'll be > at one tomorrow and I am ready for a fresh start! > > Audrey They did make a lot out of simple changes, but I think they ARE changes for the best.. personal daily point target makes so much more sense, as do the new snack list for Core.. As for the material, it's more people friendly, more meaningful visuals, better organized. The new starter kit is so much better than the old one... you actually can find stuff in it!!!! As a leader, I'm happy to find material that the members will understand. We can spend less time of program details and more on really what's going on since members can read and understand the program better by themselves. And... the new complete food companion is organized by categories, not just alphabetical order !! FINALLY ! It is simple changes but I think it's significant ones..

I don't like changes for changes.. and it has happened in the past. This time they looked at the US program, at the UK program and saw that it works better in the UK and adjusted..

This time I am looking forward to it. Guess am getting better. Lee > Naaww a lot of people (member AND staff) have a hard time with changes.. > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > >>>> > >>>> Audrey My point total has decreased by one point to 21. That will be tough as I generally average 23. This past week though I lost 2.6 and didn't track. I just knew I was eating the right amount of food and not snacking on bad stuff. I may save the new tracker for after Christmas and try to maintain these next two weeks. I like the new materials. They are easier to read. I am going to SF tomorrow and will read them on the trip.

I know what the changes are but I am interested in how she presents them. There's lots of negative reaction to the core changes over on the WW message board. As I indicated before, I recalculated my Flex target points and I should be eating 19-21 points instead of the 22 points based on the old flex point ranges. I know that I need to increase my activity level if I am ever going to get the scale moving again. That and get my dang eating under control. With the new lower target points did you get any members suddenly realise that Core might be an easier program for them? I can't see being able to survive on less than 20 points per day. 22 seems to be more my norm. > They did make a lot out of simple changes, but I think they ARE changes > for the best.. personal daily point target makes so much more sense, as do [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >>> >>> Audrey I did mine on the WW site and am still at 22.

I am currently at 155 so I am approaching the lower limit of the 22 points per day range. That may have been part of it too. I don't know if they have changed the ranges since I also have not made it to a meeting yet. >I did mine on the WW site and am still at 22. Lee >> Thanks for your insight into the changes.

I did it then went to work so I am going to get input from DH. I didn't want to change because my work has been the same all the time I have been on WW so I figured my body was used to it but I am considering changing it as I do move pretty steadily while at work, if not walking, I am bending stretching and similar, Lee > What activity level did you select?

I basically alternate from very busy days running errands to light days sitting at the computer. Which level should I pick? I ran both sitting and standing which resulted in 19 or 21 points. How are we supposed to handle our varying lifestyles with this new formula? > Keep in mind that by "activity level" they mean day to day stuff, not your > work outs, walks ect.

I would be going down to 20 soon anyway so maybe one point at a time is good idea. I'm guessing too. I'll ask my leader on Saturday what she thinks. Maybe when I see the materials it will be more obvious what to do. > maybe average it at 20 or know on the not busy days you eat 2 points > less,?

BUT, it does seem to me that it's more intuitive (not to mention easier!) to lose one point at a time as you are losing weight, as opposed to losing two points at once. AND, the differences for men and women I think are a big thing...JMHO. Louise > Has anyone gone to a meeting this week to get the new materials?
