Hi everyone! I just renewed my 10 week commitment plan today. I originally (re)joined WW on September 19th. My 10 weeks were up last Saturday (12/4) but we were in WDW so I went today. I am down 20.4. I am pretty proud of myself considering we had an anniversary get away weekend to Lancaster, PA (and I totally enjoyed those Amish cream filled donuts!!), Thanksgiving and a Disney 4 day vacation.
I was very nervous going today because I have not heard many positive reviews of the new program. I wanted to have an open mind and listen to how the new program works. However.... I think I am going to follow the Points Plus program because not only did that work for me, but it worked for my husband and son who do not need WW. I was able to stick to program without making many changes for them. While I can appreciate Weight Watchers wanting us to eat and make healthier choices, I feel that I already HAVE been making better choices, while still enjoying my treats all in moderation. This new program feels like a diet to me and that does not excite me. I hate to say it, but I need my sugary treats and the fact that I can have more turkey or chicken than I could have on Points Plus does nothing for me at 8pm when I want my Skinny Cow ice cream bar (which went from 4 PPV to 6 SPV). I love looking at the menu when we would go out and not go to the ole same thing. Actually reading the menu and finding something that sounds new and exciting and a better choice makes going to eat much more fun!
I have used the Pro Tracker Plus app since I started and I am going to continue to do so. In fact - I have not tracked my daily points since November 11th and I really want to get back into that routine. I wanted so bad when I first joined to have access to the WW app and recipe builder, but now reading how frustrated everyone is with the app, I am glad I don't. I actually thought this time that I was going to pay the additional monthly charge to have access to eTools. Does anyone have any kind of website they use for recipe builder that gives nutritional values so I could calculate points value? I tried to enter a recipe from Skinny Taste into SparkPeople and it was a little bit off.
Thanks for reading and congratulations to all on your journey!!!
