I haven't but my leader said she thought it might take awhile for the products to come out. But I also moved to a smaller town that doesn't seem to have a lot of WW products in the store. They did say that the the Pocket Guide has the new values for the WW products/Smart Ones listed. Mine starts on Page 51. Not sure if you are meetings or not, but I hope that helps someone.

I, too, am waiting for the new values to be on the product itself. What is doubly frustrating is that on some WW products, if you calculate the propoints value from the nutrition label you get one number, and if you input the product on-line, you get a different number. I have a Smart-Ones frozen meal for lunch at least 3 times a week -- I love the convenience and low cost. So far, I'm just defaulting to the higher value number to be safe.

I just think that people really following WW won't buy the old stuff. They need to just put the new stuff out! Oh, well, patience isn't my virtue.

Any weigh-ins so far this week? Mine is tomorrow and I'm curious to hear how everyone is doing.

I didn't know that, how frustrating! Are you seeing one point differences or more? Those meals do make life a little easier, there's something nice about taking the guesswork out when you are busy, tired, etc.

So far the differences have only been 1 point. Also, it's not on every product. For example, I had the chicken parmesan for lunch today and got the same value entering the nutrition info as entering the product name (7 propoints, btw). So that one is good.

I will be glad when the boxes have propoints values. I think I can suffer through the transition.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I've been struggling in WW since April, having lost only 5 pounds, but with the new Points Plus program I'm ready to start losing.

I've been told by WW Canada that the new smart phone apps will be available the week of Dec 20th to the 27th. Hopefully that will help with the new points calculations for those not carrying their books around.

I am having a very difficult day. Something terrible happened to my little niece, which her mother could have prevented. I am worried about my niece and her little sister and their safety.

This is making me want to eat, so far I have been okay points wise, I would like to go walking but I have to stay home with my kids, hubby is at work and it is oh so cold outside. My son is running a fever. It is just too much stress.

Nancy, hang in there. I hope your niece is ok. I know it's hard, but try not to stress eat. It does no good to anyone especially you.

I was trying to do some research on when the new products will be out and I came across this:

Hi back at you. Maybe the new program will give you a kickstart.

If your phone is web-enabled, I think you can access WW on-line if you have e-tools. I have had good luck with calculating propoints on my Blackberry.

Good Morning everyone. Kids are off from school and I'm still getting up at the crack of dawn . I know we have a few people weighing in today. Can't wait to hear everyone's results. Good luck.

I hope that the program is working for everyone! I'm down about a pound (which is GOOD for me me ) and I just hope I can keep the weight loss until Friday.

Does anyone else get nervous a couple days before their weigh-in?

ME , I weigh in tomorrow and I'm not going to even speculate how well or bad I'm doing as to not jinx myself

Just wanted to wish everyone well - hope you're doing fantastic! I went to another meeting in my area last Friday and adored the leader, she was awesome. Unfortunately, I got a call 15 minutes into the meeting that one of my girls had gotten sick at school (Strep) and had to leave immediately, and I'm only going to weigh in this week because of a music concert during the meeting time. Hopefully next week I'll be able to stay for the full 30/45 minutes!

I'm enjoying the plan so far - love that I'm *actually* getting all my daily servings of fruits and veggies in, but I seriously need to give up my Starbucks habit - 11 points for just coffee is not going to be helpful with my weight loss!

Have a great week, WW buddies.

What's 11 points at Starbucks? Maybe you can make some changed to whatever it is to be a little better for you. I treat myself to a grande skinny (non-fat milk) sugar-free vanilla latte after my meeting when I lose weight and that's only 3 points.

Speaking of points ... I just ate one of my usual breakfast "staples" this morning for the first time under the PP program. My 1.5 cup serving of Bob's Red Mill 10-grain hot cereal was SEVEN points. Yikes. I didn't think it would be that bad since it has a lot of fiber and protein.

Dawn doesn't crack very early anymore!

Has anyone seen any of the new Points Plus Value products? None of the stores around here have them yet. Very frustrating!!!

I haven't seen any up here yet either. One of the grocery stores that I went to this morning had all of the WW frozen foods on sale so maybe the changes are on their way.

Welcome Disney Dad! You and I are practically neighbours. I hope you find success on the new program.

I hope your day is better today and that things improve for you nieces.

Weighed in today. After the sacrifices that I made on Sunday, I expected a whole lot more than 0.4! But I'll take it.

Good luck to everyone else this week! It will be good to see how everybody did after the first week on the program.

This is the first week for Canada. One lady in my meeting today was soooo ticked off that her $50 food scale was now obsolete and that points values for some foods were going to go up. She said that she wasn't going to buy a calculator and would probably quit. I really hope she gives the new plan a chance.

The song, "Christmas Shoes" was just on the radio. I can finally listen to that song without crying!

17 more sleeps...

We have had alot of this also...I hope the rest of your launch week is going well! I've been working like a mad woman since our launch and I'll be glad when this week is over!

Good job on your loss!!

Had my WI at noon and I was down 1.6 pounds. I was very happy considering I had some initial challenges with the new program.

On the first two days, I had extra points left at the end of the day (4 and 5, respectively). Then, I wound up using all 49 of the extra points -- which I never would have guessed I would. Plus I had to use 2 of my activity points and those are points I've never used in the past. All those points and I didn't have to count fruit. I thought I was doomed.

Alas, as my WW leader says "trust the program, it works."

Looking forward to hearing from everyone else. So far, we're down 2 for the day!
