Well… after a couple of months of thinking I could do this on my own, I am back with Weight Watchers. I was able to manage to lose about 8 lbs by myself since December which is awesome… barely noticeable but awesome. After experiencing the meetings and tracking my points, I really missed the community and support that Weight Watchers offered. I definitely do not have a lot to lose but I could stand to take it a few dress sizes down and this time my goal is to get to weight watcher’s lifetime status. I enjoy going to the meetings and I really enjoy the entire program so why not become a lifetime member? Especially because after you become a lifetime member and can maintain your weight, weight watchers is free! We’ll see – I might be a little over zealous but I am going to keep that goal at the top of my list. After re-starting weight watchers last week, I noticed a bunch of changes to the program that really surprised me. First of all – the Core program is totally out of the window. Instead of checking of what you eat like you would on Core – everything has a point value and is tracked. Also, instead of 8 glasses of water – now it is only 6 glasses of “liquid” so does that mean diet soda or sugary juices?
I would still stick to water just to be safe but it is really interesting. One change that really got me was the decision to subtract extra points used from your weekly 35 before subtracting from your activity points. I still need some clarification as to why this happened – I guess it’s good that my activity points can roll over from day to day though and I can bank them. It definitely came in handy this past weekend for Easter 
The meeting Leader explained that this was all part of the “momentum” program (the little hungry orange monster guy on the commercials) which is a mix of Flex and Core to help guide and teach participants what to eat, how much to eat and when to eat it. I am excited and ready to go… now if Weight Watchers would just create and iphone app my life would be even easier! I’ll keep ya posted.
