Warm, gooey, homemade chocolate chip cookies...! ::yes::

la la la, I can't hear you

I almost want to just skip over the holidays and have it be January 2. I'm not trying to sound like a scrooge but too many temptations. Plus my kids will be off of school from Dec 3 to Jan 3. It's going to be a long month :confused3

Why are the off for a whole month?? :confused3

My kids go to year round school (it's an option here in NC that I love) So, it's 9 weeks of school followed by a 3 week break. So, their 3 week break starts Dec 3 and then it goes into the Christmas break so instead on 3 weeks they get 4 in December.

I like the idea but how do your kids feel about going to school in the summer while all the other kids are off?
 
Well, it was a struggle but last night in the battle of me versus chocolate chip cookies, I WON!!! :tigger: I distracted myself by getting on some other threads on this board (sometimes I forget that this is not a weight watchers website! :lmao:) and by doing the supper dishes. Then it was time to get DS to bed and eventually, I forgot about the cookies.

So, I had a pretty successful weekend. We took DS9 to see Megamind :3dglasses . I smuggled a Mars Bar into the theatre (which I had points for) and ate that and drank diet coke while DH and DS had their popcorn. There was a fund raising bake sale at church on Sunday and I just walked past everything and right out the door. Then last night there was the 'cookies' thing. So I think I did alright!

Hope everyone else had a good weekend! :wizard:

Well, year round is a very popular option here so a lot of kids are on that schedule. They love it cause we get to go to Disney a lot during off times. Plus they really don't know anything else being 5th and 7th graders they have been on this schedule since they started school. However, we only have one more year of this sweet schedule as DD will go to high school and that will be back to a "traditional" school schedule an off all summer.

Glad you didn't let those cookies beat you!
 
I'm going to a meeting on Friday and signing up...what can I expect!?!?

Agreed! I would love to skip over the holidays! It will just be a struggle the next month and a half. :(

Here's hoping the new program will make the next couple of weeks easier to stay on the program.

My normal weigh-in is on Saturdays so that means I'll have to wait almost a week to hear about the new program. I'm thinking about checking out one of the meetings earlier in the week but still weigh-in on my normal day. Plus the Saturday that I would get to hear about the new program is the day of my sister in laws wedding so I won't have time to stay for the meeting that day.

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend and good luck for the upcoming holiday! Thank goodness for the short week!

First, you should get a smile and a warm welcome when you walk in! Go a little early to avoid the line up. The registration process for new members takes a little longer then your weekly weigh-ins will. You'll be asked whether you want to pay weekly, buy a 20wk savings plan or purchase a Monthly Pass. Monthly Pass is really the best deal. You'll get free e-tools and possibly avoid paying the registration fee. I'm saying 'possibly' because I dont know where you live -- in Canada, registration is free if you purchase Monthly Pass.

You'll have to fill out a registration form. They should ask you if you were ever a Lifttime member because that's a different form. They'll ask you to get on the scale and your weight will be recorded in the Pocket Guide which they will give to you along with some other information. The Pocket Guide is something you need to bring with you each week.

The meetings usually last about 30-40 minutes and afterwards, new members remain behind for a 20 minute program knowledge session. All of the weekly meetings have a different topic, the leaders are usually knowledgeable and upbeat and the meetings are always interesting and fun. Most of them start off with celebrations where the members (if they want to) will let everyone know how much they lost.

The meetings are a great place to get support, tips and get to know people.

Now having said all that, the program is changing in the US next Sunday. (If you're in Canada, it's changing the following week.) If you want to join this Friday and follow the current plan for the weekend, then please do. However, if you can wait until next week, you may want to consider that. The fees are not going to change, just the weight loss plan.

Let us know what you decide and good luck on your weight loss journey!:)

Definitely go earlier in the week! You don't want to miss this week's meeting.

I usually weigh-in on Friday mornings, so I am going to a Meeting on Wednesday, (no weigh-in) and then I am going to weigh in at the Meeting on Sunday at 2:00. The Leader who weighed me in last week said you have to weigh in to start the new program.

Hope that helps you decide when to go.

I am really looking forward to the new program. I can't wait to hear about it! I would weigh in regardless but I didn't realize that everyone would need to weigh in for the new program.

I had a pretty good week last week, I was down 2.2 pounds. My meeting day is Thursday so there is no meeting for me this week, which is probably a good thing because sadly it's been a tough couple of days.

As far as craving cookies goes, I will probably end up baking some for my husband, but I will limit myself to one (thankfully I can actually do that! LOL!) but at my parent's house, they just don't bake any so there is no temptation.

Guess it depends on your meeting set up. My meeting room is set up in such a way, that the leader can't tell if you weighed in or not. Especially at on a crowded night.
 
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?

CdnBuzzFan...do you work for WW?

The only problem is that I can't go then. :guilty: 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.

oh, go on Friday then and enroll. When you are ready, you are ready! You can get your starting weight but will only get "old" program materials. When you go back the following Friday you will get the new program materials. It won't really be a big deal but just as you are learning something new, it will change and I wouldn't want you to get confused between the two programs. If you start on Monday, the whole meeting will be about getting started on the new program so it's a good meeting to attend. Then you can weigh in the following Friday (can't weigh in twice in one week)

Also, the weigh in are private in that your weight is supposed to be kept confidential, no one will say your weight out loud and if you don't want to know if you are up or down on subsequent weigh ins, just let your receptionist know and she/he will be silent about it. Yo do still need to stand in line so it's not completely private
