I went to a meeting this morning and I have to say, I am really excited about trying the new plan! It's worked ok so far for me. I'm going to have a good attitude about it! I even ate a banana this morning! I haven't had one in a LONG time because it wasn't worth the points for me. Now they are!

omg, I can eat bananas again! I hadn't even thought of that -- like you I had given them up. I am so excited!

Hi everyone! I think I joined this thread a couple of years ago before I got pregnant with my DD. So I'll introduce myself...

I'm Sarah. This is my third time on WW. My first was 8 years ago (AH!) and I lost 25 pounds and quit about 10 pounds from goal. Then I joined for 6 weeks before I got preggers with DD who is now 16months (you figure out the math if you really want to ) I like to not count that time, since it was only six weeks.

I joined up again in May and I've lost 25.6 pounds and am 7 pounds away from the top of my range. This time through has been a bit easy since I'm a nursing mom, so I get a bunch of extra points. But these last 10 pounds are being very difficult.

SO this is the perfect time for WW to revamp for me, I really need a kick in the pants.

My meeting is on Thursday, so i came here to see your impressions of the new plan. I've been playing with eTools for a bit. I think with the added points and the "free" fruit, it's really not going to change too much about what I eat, which makes sense since I've been losing by being on plan.

I am bummed about losing the points slider! I don't want to deal with the calculator.

I'd like to send out a to all our new members including mnrhannah07, Twingle, Maria and Sarah! I hope I got everyone ... I went back about 5 pages but might have missed someone.

Yesterday was a better day than Monday was for me. Today is going to be a challenge, though. My DH's work Holiday Party is tonight at a Brew Pub. I *love* good beer and this place makes a tasty brew. Plus, dinner is probably going to be steak. I *love* steak. I guess I'll make sure to get 30 minutes of walking in today at the Y and try to eat some raw veggies before I go so I don't graze too much on the appetizers.

you and your cookies!!

I've been busy held up in my craft room all week making teacher's gifts so, I've almost had to remind myself to eat the last few days.

Up 2.2! Somebody remind me that the "Jessie" plan DOES NOT WORK!

How many cookies did you eat ?!? Just kidding {{hugs}}. I'm sure that it's just sympathetic water gain from our US Turkey Day. It will be all gone by next week.

Speaking of cookies...I've invented a new butterfinger-style cupcake. I'm dipping my latest creation into melted mint chocolate chips and rolling them in crushed candy canes!

And, SERIOUSLY! I never have to be reminded to eat!

Have you guys seen this list of corrections for the new food compaion, dinig out companion and pocket guide?

I knew there were some mistakes, I went to subway the other day and got apple slices as my side. Its JUST apple slices, nothing added. When I looked up Subwayt Apple slices on E-tools they came up as 1 point. I just took it out and counted a small apple for zero. The Chick fila fruit cup comes up as 2 points. I know there are a few mandarin orange slices in there, but its mostly apples and grapes.

I've been crazy at work the past few days due to the launch so I haven't been able to read through all the pages but I wanted to say welcome all the newbies!! hugs to those that are struggling and way to go to those that have done well this week

Yeah, that's what happened!

I think I had about 4 cookies and they had a lot of royal icing on them!

And, it better be gone by next week... I'm supposed to be able to tell the members that the new program works!

I'm going to a cookie exchange on Sunday (no surprise there, eh? ) I'm making Pizzelle's which I LOVE! Since they're my favourite cookie, I'll be making a double batch so we'll have some left for us. They were a point each on the old points plan but I'm not sure what they will work out to be on Points+.

Okay ladies, step back from the cookies. And, seriously, who needs to be reminded to eat!!!

I had my weigh in today and I was down 1.2 pounds from two weeks ago. I didn't do a WI last Wednesday -- do they have WW in Switzerland? Anyway, I was so psyched. The meeting was really good, too. I love my leader. I was a little late -- as were some others -- and my leader stayed after class to give us a remedial lesson with the new joiners. LOTS of new people today.

I haven't decided whether to buy the new materials. I do e-tools and that works really well for me. Do I want to spend $40 on new stuff that I'm not sure will get used. What did y'all do?

Good job on your loss!! I would say if you use Etools then just stick with that instead of buying all new stuff. Do you have a smartphone with access to Etools? If not, get a calculator for $5.95 to keep in your bag ...you can use it at the grocery store to check PP values of things you are buying

I think the only thing that I would buy is the calculator. I need one at home on the counter and one in my purse for when I'm out shopping so I'll be buying an extra one. You've got a food list in your new pocket guide and you can use e-tools when your near your computer. You can also look up the points values of specific restaurants on their websites. In my opinion, the calculator is all you need to buy of the new stuff. You may want the 3 month journal but you've also got access to that on e-tools and the little one that you can get at your meeting each week. I'll be curious to learn what everyone does buy!
