www.facebook.com/tl.weiss.98/videos/684025151761204/Ok, I can't insert the video. But, a regional WW leader posted a video last night on my FB page, called, "A Shift is coming....are you Ready?" It said it would occur January 1. Looks like this is referring to the new year and new tweaks in the program. Anyone else see this? Guess I need a tutorial on inserting videos!

Haven't seen it linda72 but the way to insert an video is, just follow the same directions for the photo but go one icon over to the black and white thing (I am totally spacing on what that is called, not enough coffee ha!) *ETA Clapperboard, Google is my friend

DebDoesWW Thanks for the instructions but I couldn't get it to work. I suspect it's some setting on FB. I tried googling The Shift is Coming but didn't get the video. However, I did see this article: Snack Girl

At my meeting this morning, the leader was very clear: there are NO CHANGES in the SmartPoints program in January.
So if there's anything in the pipeline, perhaps it will be in the BEYOND THE SCALE realm.
We did get a remodel of the WW Center - now the weighing stations look like transporter pods.
Curious...

Curious... Right, the changes are to the Beyond the Scale portion. From what I understand, they're doubling down on that part of the plan. The Orange book is changing some and becoming a whole new color. The newest WW mag has an Oprah section dedicated to living fully. I get it, but most people don't sign up for WW for this. I think looking beyond the scale is helpful, but I also think most people do that without help from WW. Maybe it's to keep the members losing and gaining the same few pounds from noticing the scale.

Someone mentioned that last week's meeting, about thinking mistakes you make, are very similar to the pink book, by Dr. Judith Beck. (Beck Diet Solution)

I noticed the chairs in a circle and leader in the middle toward the very end. Facilitate more group participation?

NatureLover Our meetings have had 3 rows of chairs facing 3 other rows for months. The leader stands in the middle and walks around. Sometimes, she's at one end then she'll walk around and goes to the other end. It's effective because member look around the room. Plus, it's easier to see people when they are talking. Don't know if this layout will change with the "shift" that's coming in 2017. Wonder what we're shifting to.

girlyfied thanks for posting the link! It is actually a pretty good promo. After it says "SP members lost 15% more" there is a before and after, then there is a leader in a black peasant top hugging a member, that is my leader Brenda (99% sure) she ROCKS, people flock to her meetings!!

DebDoesWW This video was posted by Tracy, WW regional manager in SE Texas, so all of the members you see are probably at Houston area meetings! Wish you could have been in the video too!

Well, it's the only time in living memory I have wished I was on FB, you have to log in to see the link.
I don't mean to sound like too much of a cynic, but with the fast weight loss on SP, there is bound to be some regain (not that there always wasn't.) So yes, I can see WW's expanding the Beyond the Scale part of the program to keep members from quitting.
I tried meetings this time last year to check out the new program and made it until about the end of January; maybe I'll try the new location.

Yeah, I'm not on FB either, so I can't see the video. Bummer.
I think you are right about the rebound from the fast loss. I don't know that most people will make the connection between fast rebound and need for behavior modification. I suspect they are more apt to say, "Yup. I knew I couldn't lose weight and keep it off. Here I am gaining weight again. Just another program that doesn't work."
