Just saw on a WW FB group some info supposedly about the new program.
There will be 3 options:
1. A simply filling/core type option. (No tracking)
2. A freestyle with some changes option. (Partial tracking)
3. A full tracking option with new calculation and focus on calories/micros.
Due to come out late Nov/early Dec.

I'm also number 3 all the way!!!
On a side note, I had cancelled my membership last week (expires 09/26/19) and yesterday they sent me an email offering a free month...so I took it! They must really want to keep members!

They must really want to keep members! They did that to me 3 months in a row but I have cancelled again since mine is up 9/27 and I doubt I will get another email but that's okay.I did take them up on it every time they offered.

#1 could bring back some of the Core/Simply Filling folks who left when SF was discontinued.
#2 should make the current Freestylers happy.
#3 should take care of those of us who are tracking calories and NI.
But those three options don’t seem to do anything to appease those who went back to PointsPlus using iTrackBites.
Much better than no change at all, but unless the “new calculation” in #3 is, in essence, PointsPlus, I think there still will be many disappointed former members.

This was posted on the other forum-----------
The pilot programs have been released here and are currently being tested with the new plans to be released late Nov / early Dec here. The current information is: There will be 3 plans. You will take an assessment questionnaire and it will tell you which plan should work the best for you. Rumors to specifics are: 🔹 Completely No Tracking Plan - mindful eating focus like a version of the previous Simply Filling / Core plan 🔹 Partial Tracking Plan - tweaks made to the existing Freestyle plan with changes to the 0 point lists but same basic principle. 🔹 Full Tracking Plan - this is rumored to have a new equation and has had some speculation that it will be more calorie and macro focused. There are also rumors of an added intermittent fasting option. I have seen members with materials that say Pilot Program at meetings so while they are under a NDA agreement and I don't have confirmed specific details - yes, changes are coming.

Wonder how you get to be part of a "pilot program"?

When the talk first started someone on instagram said that a friend was part of the "pilot" and that she loved it and that PointsPlus people will be very happy. But of course that means that Smart Points people won't be, lol!!!

Laura M, what FB group is this? I'm a member of 3 or 4 WW FB groups and I've seen nothing about the rumors.

If #3 is a calorie and macro tracking option, why wouldn't people just stick with one of the free or low cost premium options on the calorie counting sites like MFP? Instead of $20 to $50 PER MONTH depending on subscription type?

"Simply Filling Followers" Is the group the information came from.

Finn- I agree, I'm just going to stick with MFP. It's free and so far is working for me.

I was part of a pilot program over the summer. Several sites were selected by WW and people attending 5hose meetings could take part as long as we signed a non disclosure agreement. Each week we completed an online survey sent by the WW pilot program staff. We were told that only the staff and members at those locations were knowledgeable re the pilot. At the end, our membership was extended for 6 weeks as a thankyou. Waiting to see what comes out of the pilot as far as the changes to the official plan!
