Re: WW New program

[Guest guest]

I've heard rumors on the official WW site that the new program is a " selection "

program. I'm wondering if it's like their old program of years ago.

I agree with you, I don't like the flex points at all. But to each his own, I

know some love it. I quit going to my meetings for a variety of reasons. I

like the leader as a person, she has sent me postcards encouraging me, which I

thought was nice. But I'm not a meeting person, never clicked with anyone, so I

quit. Not to mention the weird behavior I exhibited on meeting days. My

meetings (only ones available in my small town) were at 6 pm. Well, starting

about 2 pm I went to the bathroom a million times. I would weigh clothes to see

which weighed less. I quit drinking water at about 3 because that adds weight.

I played all those stupid games and just finally said, " This is stupid. " So now

I weigh in the morning, second thing. ;-)

WW New program

I went to a meeting today and here in AZ the new program is going to be

rolled out on or after Aug 22.

The meetings I've been to, have been poorly attended. I suspect the

difficulty with journaling flex points might be a problem. I had very much

difficulty journaling flex points - tried it for a few weeks and it was a

real pain. So went back to Winning Points which works very well for me. I

wonder why they changed to Flex Points anyway since Winning Points was

working so well. Anyway, I think a lot of people won't be like me and just

switch back to Winning Points. Or maybe the older members switched back to

Winning Points but the new joins found Flex Points too arduous but did not

KNOW Winning Points.

Let's hope the new roll out is going to solve some of the difficulty of

journaling flex points because journaling is one of the strengths of the WW

tool.

Yeah, I found too that I got in trouble trying to use the new flex

points program.. I did not like their new journal at all. I went back

to the Winning Points and track with the low to high end and bank

points..this was the one I started with, but I was very excited about

the new one, the flex, when it came out and tried to do it, but I was

quickly discourange with it..I found the extra 35 points was a killer

for me, because I have a lot of red-light foods that I just cannot

handle yet and they seem to be an excuse to have some, only to set me

on some rollercoaster..I know I did not need to use them, but I did

and they were too many. And that new journal well!!, I ended up

making my own, similiar to the winning points one...

I guess we all have a choice which one to use, because so many of you

can handle the extra 35 points per wk and do great with it..I wish I

was one of you. But I know I am not, because I did give it a good try

when it came out..I feel so much more in control and happier doing it

the Winning Points way. BUT now WW has me so curious again as to what

this new info on the program will be...won't be long will it?? I just

hope they make a really sensible journal..
