They asked that I not mention it to other members. How bizarre. |

zazzles, I cannot believe that backwards Florida has WiFi and progressive California doesn't. Must be the individual franchises

I don't think my (corporate) center has Wi-Fi. But there's a good cell signal so it doesn't matter.

WC—they have special materials for diabetics? Where's mine?  Never heard anyone mention this. For some reason I thought my mom got something a few years ago when she was struggling keeping her blood sugar stable while doing WW, but I may very well be wrong. My guess is that they have materials but they kept them a secret from you so they could give them all to Oprah. (No seriously, I really may have imagined that they had diabetic materials.) LOL at that! I know that WW has an optional component of the At Work program that companies can opt to have. It is help for pre-diabetics. When they introduced that, I had hoped they would bring a diabetes component into the main program, but no such luck. |

zazzles, There definitely was a diabetic *sheet* when I was working, but that was in the long-lost days of Points Plus. LOL. I vote with wildcat on saving resources. I was always someone that wanted a hard copy, even when I was online only, I would *join* to get the materials. So, on 12/3 I dutifully went to a meeting so I could get them (no pocket guide, LOL.) Have I opened them ONCE? No. Some of us really don't need them. I don't regret listening to the explanation of the program, so it's all good.

Have I opened them ONCE? No. That leads me to a couple of thoughts on why one would want them when they don't need them: - A member find the program isn't working for them. May not be the program for them or their head may not be in the right place, or they may be losing very, very slowly and don't want to pay $45 a month for losses of less than 0.5# a month. So they quit. But they'd like to continue following the program.
- A member finds long term that the program works wonderfully. Then the program chagnes again and whatever the new program is doesn't work for them. They want to follow this program—the one tha worked well for them; but WW doesn't support any program other than the current one with their electronic trackers. Member: reaches in drawer and pulls out the materials for the program that worked for them and moves forward; member may continue paying or not.
That 2nd scenario appied to many people when we switched from PointsPlus to SmartPoints. And how many posts did we read where people bemoaned the fact they didn't have the PointsPlus materials—usually because they got rid of them. I am with others that it doesn't need to be a document that is automatically handed out. Heck, they could make the entire packet optional for existing members. But I am also with those who feel that if they want it, they should have it without being questioned or made to feel bad about asking. |

My thoughts: If you are a paying member (online or meetings) you should be able to obtain any hard-copy materials you want.
They should be available to you upon request.
End of story.

We all try to use our apps and it is horrendously slow in the building. But, if you walk two stores over to Party City they have free WiFi.  Go figure. |

I am in FL and I can get Wi-Fi on my phone but it is not from WW. It is from a hot spot close by. When I go to WW in the summer in WI same thing. Wi-Fi is coming from the dry cleaner next door. I think when I attended while at my sons in Indiana it was coming from a hot spot. I don't know why people should expect to get wi-fi at a center. If you have a smart phone you also have a data plan that allows you to look up points.
