Where can I find info on the new program? Is it something about fruits and veggies?

It won't be announced until after Thanksgiving.

And right before the mad New Year's resolution rush. I think we're going to be test subjects for the leaders, LOL!

about WW for kids? Well, I think the girl is about 15. I know someone who has a daughter and she needs to lose like 40lbs. I told her I really didn't have any info about the program for teens but I think at one time there was a teen at one of my meetings, I'm sure there is an age limit but she should be ok joining at 15. Does anyone have any info on this?

I did WW when I was 17 (and eventually 18) my first time around, with my mom. I didn't have a Dr. note though but maybe because I was a little older and doing it with my mom? We did see younger children there though - many of which were just the child, not a parent (parent was there but not on program), and they did well. I would think they had a medical note.

Officially, the program isn't going to be rolled out to the US members until Nov 28th and not until Dec 5 for those of us in Canada. There have been lots of 'leaks' however. All of the staff have had training on the new program and are supposed to be living it now but were asked to keep it top secret. Not everyone did. There was also an article in the WW magazine where the head of WW International talked a bit about it and I believe that one of the leaders had an interview on one of the US news TV programs (CNN or Today or something like that) so there are bits and pieces of the new program out there but the program wont be rolled out in it's entirety until the dates above.

Good for you! Isn't it funny how doing what you're supposed to do actually works!?

I just got back from my WI and I'm down 1.2 -- because I followed the program this week, too.

You Go GIRLS!

I am trying hard to stay on program, but I have bad PMS. And I have been taking care of the kids and the housework instead of exercising.

I am nervous about the new program. The anticipation is killing me.

Hello ladies-

Looks like everyone is doing really well! I weighed in this past Saturday and I'm down 1.4 and that put's me .6 away from 20lbs loss so far. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I actually break the 20lb mark this Saturday. So I'm roughly half way to where I want to be give or take a few. Just waiting to see how I feel about my body as the weight comes off. I'm already way more confident then I was and shopping for clothes is starting to become more fun again as well.

I do have a bachelorette party and shower to attend this weekend but that is after weigh in so I should be good even though I did have a rocky start to this week.

I also have discovered recently that I can fit into a swimming suit I bought in summer 08! And I'm starting to fit into some of my older pants from when I was gaining weight. Thank goodness b/c I have bought some clothes recently in the past 6-8 weeks that are falling off me. It's a bad and a good thing. Bad b/c it was a waste of money good b/c I'm losing weight. I need to see if I can find more clothes packed away that I can wear so I don't waste anymore money till I get where I want to be.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Tomorrow is my usual weigh in day but do to the Veteran's Day holiday my location is closed so, not sure what I will do. Was thinking of going to another location on Friday but not sure if I will or just skip this week.

Just my opinion, but don't skip if you can get to a meeting for a WI. Good luck == we're on a roll this week!

I know I hate not to go to a meeting however, I love my meeting and leader. And this may sound silly but I think I finally will be hitting my 55lbs lost and would rather hit that milestone at my meeting than some strange meeting I don't know anyone at. We will see I'll let you all know what I do.

I know what you mean, I used to go to a meeting on Wed. mornings and I miss the people and the leader from that group. The day before Thanksgiving I don't have to work so I am going back to that meeting. I also promised the leader that when I get to my lifetime goal I will come to her meeting. It was easy to agree to that.

Congratulations on your making the 55 pound mark!

Hi!

Just joining into this board and thread for the first time!

A little info about myself - \I am a 48yo, South Jersey yo-yo dieter, wife, mother of 2 (21ds & 17dd) and WDW lover. Also, I am a lifetime WW member from waaaaay back, then gained then lost multiple times with MANY diets, including a 5 years ago, a stint with an Atkins like-diet/personal trainer where I got to my fittest point - lost over 50 lbs.(probably too thin!), then left (I felt I had become too dependent - plus $$'s . However, now slowly I have gained 40 lbs. back and was sooo depressed that I decided to go back to the tried and true WW! So along with my 17 yo dd we joined WW 2 weeks ago and I have lost 4 lbs and my dd 5 lbs. so far!

Now, I hope to check in from time to time for encouragement from new friends who have a love of Disney too! This weekend we are going to NYC - for me the food capital of the world - so hopefully the temptation to eat will lose to our going to stores where I will realize I HAVE be good in order to really enjoy shopping, along with stopping by the new Disney store of course- and btw, worrying about the NY bedbugs in our hotel too!!

So now you know a little bit about me! I'm looking forward to 'meeting' everybody on this board and also hoping for tips, etc.. as well as hearing about the new program which will be coming out and how everyone is doing!!

Thanks for allowing me to join your board!!

Welcome Melissa , although DH's job moved us to NC I am a true Jersey Girl! And believe it or not DH and I miss it. Anyway, back to WW I think we will all be like newbies again in the next few weeks with this "new" program. I wonder how many of us will adapt to it or just stick with good ole faithful. Good luck to you and your daughter. We have a variety of people doing WW here, newbies, workin the program for a while and our wonderful Lifer's. Make sure you keep us posted on your progress congrats on the 4lbs loss so far.

Welcome to the board uromac. This thread is a great place to be if you're on Weight Watchers. Have fun in NY and 'don't let the bed bugs bite'!

I wonder how many of us will adapt to it or just stick with good ole faithful.

Don't worry... you'll adapt and you'll love it! Old faithful will still work, of course, but this new plan is better. You can't mix the two plans either. The perks we get on the new plan just wont work with the old one.
