On Weight Watchers
In previous posts here I have expressed my issues with Weight Watchers and their tendency to promote processed and fast food that is low in points but by no means healthy. It’s difficult for me to resolve my feelings about the program because when I was on it in the past, I was successful at losing weight and to this day the most I ever lost was on the program.
Since injuring myself last summer in South Africa, it has been a sliding slope of gaining back the weight I lost last year and a constant struggle to stay on the healthy path. This week I realized that despite the fact that I know what healthy choices to make in order to lose the weight and be stronger, I’m simply not making them. In short, I admitted that I needed help. When food and the very act of eating become more than just a means of sustenance and provide comfort or emotional release, it’s incredibly difficult to make those choices. I was tired of doing it half-heatedly, so this happened:
The online option for me worked very well in the past, and I plan on using Weigh in Wednesday for a measure of accountability. So far the past 3 days have been good, I’ve been tracking and staying within my points. The new system is interesting but it’s frustrating that I can’t find the formula they use to calculate the points. Maybe I’m not looking hard enough, but it makes me wonder if they changed the plan to make it more difficult for people to follow without having to pay the company in order to find out points values. That being said, the fact that they take into account carbs, fat, protein and fiber does seem more intuitive.
I want to know, what do the rest of you think about the new WW or WW in general?

I found this via google for the Points Plus formula. Points Plus = p/10.94 + c/9.17 + fa/3.89 - fi/12.49
I just started WW a couple weeks ago (I also did it 3 yrs ago and lost 15 lbs) and I like the new plan, especially that fruit is “free.”
