Weight Watchers Chat

I was just wondering if anyone on here just does WW online? I was a member and went to meeting about 2 years ago and did pretty good on the plan. I live in a relatively small town and we only have 2 meetings - one at 10:30 and one at 6:00 both on Tuesdays. I ended up with another committment that I can't get out of on Tuesday evenings and work during the day, so I had to stop going to them meetings.

I'm thinking about starting the program again, but just doing the online since I still can't go to the meetings.

Since they are rolling out a new program, do they send you any of the booklets that they hand out at the meetings, or do you just read about it all online? I like how they kind of give you one thing a week to focus on to learn about the program at the meetings. If you get all of the information at the beginning, I was just wondering how that works.

I was also wondering about the mobile applications. I have an andriod phone and was wondering if WW has an app that included a point tracker on the phone? Probably asking too much, just curious.

I know there are people on the thread who do WW online. I'll let them chime in . You can also join one of the forums on the WW website ... I know there is an online-only community there. From the previous link that cepmom mom posted it looks like they will walk you through the program change when you log into the online tools the first time after the change. You DON'T get booklets online but IIRC the content of the booklets is all available in electronic form. I don't know if it's sectioned off into "Week 1", "Week 2", etc but I wouldn't be surprised.

As for the app, here's what I found:

Weight Watchers Mobile for the Web is designed for use with most BlackBerry, Windows Mobile 6, and iPhone. Weight Watchers Mobile may function on other devices, including Palm OS; however, we cannot provide technical support for those devices. Weight Watchers Mobile for iPhone works with any iPhone or iPod touch.

I use the iPhone app.

I had my WI this a.m. and I'm down 4.2!!!
So now my grand total lost is 8.6 lbs. And I lost one of my points today. I think that is going to take some adjusting b/c I would plow through all my points, even the 35 extras, every week.
So...yea me!

Here I am!!

I've been a lurker this week. I've also been busy baking cookies and cupcakes too, but we dont need to talk about that.

Anyway, I lived the plan this week. Thought I did a good job at it too, but I was up 0.2. I know it's not much but I should have been down. Maybe I ate too much fruit!

Hi! I do WW online - well, the etools anyhow. As I understand it, there are 3 modes of WWonline. There is the WW online where you have full access to the program materials - they will walk you through everything, I'm sure. There is also something called eTools - which includes the points tracker, recipes, food lists, etc. And then there is the "Free" part which includes the community blogs and challenges and message boards, and maybe the science center articles, though I'm not sure about that. If you have eTools (which is at a reduced rate) from a previous time as a meeting member, you may not get walked through the plan.

I believe there are 2 ways to get the booklets - you can go to meetings or it used to be with Momentum that you could order an "At Home" kit with all the meeting materials in one package. I'm sure that the WW Online program will contain all the same information, though.

I have no idea how they will do the roll-out for the new program - if they will walk everyone through week by week or if they'll hand people a stack on that first day. I know I am going to request the vegetarian, activity and maintenance booklets right away.

For the mobile applications, currently there is a fully interactive app for iPod touch/iPhones which is amazing. Other phones can use an application that includes points tracker, calculator and a few other things, but is pretty bare bones. WW has said that they are coming out with a new app for the new program and will have it iPhone/pod ready at the end of Nov. They say that apps for other phones will follow.

Yay! Congratulations and {{hugs}} to you!

I am currently sitting 11 points above my weekly total. The Badger game and Sunday's Amazing Race dinner did me in (again). I have be SOOOO hungry. I keep on blowing my points out of the water and I know I'm up right now. I am trying to get some APs in to bring that down but I weigh in on Friday and I almost feel like it's a losing battle this week. Still ... I will promise to finish the week strong and NOT give up.

Thank goodness the football season and the Amazing Race is over soon.

Yeah, kind of lost track . I want to do it though I'll go back for last week and add up and post.

Ok, I'm still sticking to the change in weather why some of us are struggling , glad you are not giving up, either am I. Those of us having a tough time, we will get through this. Maybe some of those peeps with 4lb losses can sprinkle us with some pixie dust .

Gosh, it's nice to be missed. Here I am! I have been crazy busy at work. A meeting this morning went into extra innings, so I missed my WW meeting. I went over later in the afternoon -- after eating lunch -- to get my WI done because tomorrow looks no better. I had a slight gain, but I'm blaming that on having lunch right before a WI. I'm just glad I went to face the scales.

We're on vacation next week (starting Friday of this week), so I'll miss WW meetings and the WI. I'll have my laptop and will try to check in with y'all.

Good for you on weighing in. I'm not sure how I'm going to do tomorrow. The elliptical is going well though. I do it everyday for 40 minutes, 38 which is in my prime heart rate. Going any where good? Regardless a vacation is a vacation. Have a good time.

Congratulations for facing the scale! I admit that I never eat before a WI but mine is in the morning so I can get away with that kind of thing.

Yay!

I just returned from a brisk (it's 30-degrees here) 45 minute 2.25 mile walk with the dog. I have been trying to exercise at the YMCA while my DD swims but things have been conspiring against me. On Tuesday the coaches asked me to sort ribbons & medals from the meet 2 weeks ago. That took the whole hour. On Wednesday I needed to go to the grocery store and I thought I could do it in just 30 minutes. Wrong, that took the whole hour. Yesterday I packed my workout clothes in my DD's school backpack from last year ... and I carried out her backpack from THIS year to the car and didn't notice until I was there. *sigh*

I hear that! I've actually started keeping light hand weights by the chair I like to use in the living room. That way even while I'm parked in front of the TV I can fling the weights around a bit and not feel like a total sloth.
