Lemme just give the DIS some OT praise

[mrzrich]

I've been doing Weight Watchers for the last month or so. To keep my motivated I visit the message boards on the WW site several times a day.
OMG! This is a multi million dollar company. Their boards are the least user friendly message boards I have ever visited. You can't even edit your own posts, let alone quote a pp or add a link. No thread bumping...when a post gets old, it just gets buried, regardless of how many people are interested in in. Don't you think on a weight loss website, they should have some smilies for encouraging fellow posters etc. Nope, nothing.

Has the DIS spoiled me? I've frequented other message boards in my day for various interests and hobbies, but I must say the DIS is the BEST hands down!

Congrats on doing WW. NC Beast has lost over 100 lbs on it doing the online (I eat the same foods/meals...just less of it). We like the points in meal planning. Today, we calculated the new pretzel m&ms to be 4 points per serving (17 m&Ms in a serving)...so each pretzel is 1/4 point. My MIL is using the more traditional meeting ones.

I saw this link once on the budget board that is helpful in calculating points in major chain resteraunts: http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html

Good luck!

i have said before that the +'s well outweigh the -'s here. there is some drama once in a while but for the most part they put on a good show and the factfinding side of the site stays pretty up to date.
