Ok, so I looked up my location meeting times and there is one this coming Sunday at 9am so I will still weigh in this coming Saturday and then go to the meeting sunday to hear about the new program since the following Saturday is the wedding I'm in so I'll only have time to weigh in that day.

 

[k_null81]

The only problem is that I can't go then. I may be able to go on Monday though! But I was so anxious to get started! I'm ready to go and hate to delay it longer!

I really wanted my weigh in days to be Friday, if I start on Monday can I go on Friday for my weigh in? (either that week or just wait and go the following one?)

I noticed it says private weigh in or something like that. Is that new? When I used to go, everyone lined up and got weighed pretty much in front of everyone in line behind them.

Where I go to meetings it's a new location new building so the set up for weigh-in's are actually pretty private. The old location we were all on top of each other in line but they never said our weight out loud just if we were up or down.

Hey everyone!
Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I am in week 7 of of my new way of eating(not diet ) and I have lost 13 pounds! My goal for now is to lose 7 more for an even 20 before our trip to WDW! I think I've finally realized it doesn't matter so much what I eat, but that I count the points for each and every thing I eat! I don't have to deny myself any food I want, but simply count and adjust for it! I'm 45 and I hope others can have this "aha" moment long before they turn 45! The older you get the harder it is to lose, but I'm in it for the long-haul! Have a great week everyone!

I am dreading that first weigh in so much. I'm so embarrassed.

We have all been there done that! It will be fine and I'm positive you'll do great on this program! As long as your really ready to commit to it. Also get support where ever you can. This is a great board and I also check the facebook WW page even though the trolls on there can be horrible.

Don't be! They are very discreet and VERY nice at WW meetings! Good luck. You will love the program. It's the ONLY diet that has ever worked for me!

So, if I sign up on Friday and everything changes on Sunday....how do you think that would affect things? Do members have to buy new stuff with the new program? Anyone know how it works?

Sign up on Friday and follow the program material until you can get to that first meeting next week. I dont think it will affect things -- you wont be so used to the 'old ways' that you will resist the changes in the new program. I think you'll be just fine! Just look at it as practice. Some members will be so stuck on the old points plan that they wont want to make the switch right away but you'll be OK!

You will only have to buy one thing and they're making it affordable so no worries!

I never picked up on it before but when I read that post I knew you knew too much to not work for them haha! Nice to "meet" you! Good luck with your launch next week...we've been crazy getting ready for Sunday!

Thank you all so much. I'm nervous but excited to get started!!

I decided to take the plunge and I signed up for the monthly pass today. I can't wait until Friday!! I figured I'd sign up today to at least get familiar with the site and all. This just seemed to be the best bang for my buck!

Thank you all so much. I'm nervous but excited to get started!!

Let me ask you...if you pay each week rather than sign up for the monthly pass or whatever...do you have to pay when you miss a week??

you have to pay when you miss a week when it is a period of full registration...when there is no registration fee you do not need to pay for a missed week. However, you do have 3 missed meeting "passes" to use every 6 months, so during a period of full registration (now) you can use a missed meeting "pass" to waive the missed week fee. Confusing, I know. I recommend the monthly pass; it's the cheapest option, waives the registration fee and gives you full access to eTools on the WW website.

things are not looking pretty for this week. I have way to much food in my house for Thursday and I want to eat it all. Plus just got done stuffing the advent calendar's I made for my kids with mini chocolates (yes I had a few) ugh, so frustrating.

It's easy this time of year to lose control! Just glad the new program starts Monday. THat way we can all do good (hopefully) leading up to Christmas.

Hi everyone!
I am 24 and was on weight watchers while a senior in high school, while on it, I lost around 30 pounds or so..I got off track while in college and gained it back plus some. Fast forward to now, I have been married for 3 years and have a two year old son. I gained 40 pounds in the end of my pregnancy, which was only at 30 weeks due to preeclampsia. I lost all that weight because of breastfeeding, but am still at the weight I was before I had my son..So, now I figure I need to go back to what I know works...I am truly thinking about rejoining but want to know that there is still a good support system out there!

Amen!!! I need something new. My only saving grace is I am working the elliptical for 40 minutes daily.

WELCOME!!! WW rocks, just love it and they are rolling out a "new" program this Sunday so we will all be newbies again. I can't speak for other meetings but, my meeting is just awesome. With a great leader and a lot of great people. In addition to the meeting I feel I have made some really great friends on this thread. If you have something to celebrate everyone is here for you. If your tempted by cookies (not mentioning any names ) their here for you. If you are just having a cruddy week there is always someone here who gets it and makes you feel like it's going to be ok. Love you guys on here . Good luck!!

Last night I had a big slip up. I went shopping at the mall and I was really hungry. I ordered the turkey sandwich I usually get. Instead of getting fruit salad with it. I got pasta salad. I was planning on just eating a little bit but I ate it all. I didn't have the points for it either.

I am going to a meeting this morning for some support to get me through the next 4 days until the new program starts.

I wasn't going to say anything because I wanted to feel like a WW member on the thread, not a staff member. After you let us know that you were staff, I didn't see anything change for you on the thread so I thought it would be OK for me too! Even though I am staff, I still don't have it all figured out. I still struggle and life still gets in the way and at my meeting, I'm not always comfortable sharing things like that because they know that I work for WW. Here, I'm treated like a WW member and I like that. I didn't want to spoil it!

Don't make me come down there!

So have you decided when you're weighing in this week?? Tomorrow is a holiday for you. (and remember that is a holiDAY, not a holiWEEK!)

It happens... but you don't beat yourself up over it. You own it, you learn from it and get back on track.

Good luck at you meeting this morning!
