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." Carol, I just know my own experience...lost 100 pounds in 6 months once (oh, also lost clumps of hair) and had gained most of it back before 6 more months past, then because I am a slow learned, lost 80 pounds quickly another time...I think it took me a bit longer to gain it back, but I was getting remarried so had a higher motivation. Third time has been my charm. |

I did not have a fast weight loss,a pound a week. Whereas on the the other plans I lost 10 the first month. 4 this time. It was a keep of faith because I love sweets. It has been the best plan for me and I am sad that so many people dislike it but realize that everybody loses differently.

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...

This was talked about in my meeting this week. The leader said there would be no changes to SmartPoints but that people were asking for help often on the mindset. And, during 2017 that would be the focus working on mindset and working on developing specific skill sets.
The weekly booklet had a section on Thoughts leading to feelings and then to actions and how changing thoughts can change action. I found interesting the post above that this was sort of Beck like. I did a blog post where I said this was very CBT like and I linked to the pink book.
She also mentioned there would be skill sets on body image and mindfulness.
I do think those are important thing that can be helpful for people.

Well DUH me linda72, LOL no wonder that looked exactly like her! She is the one I am always going on and on about, she is the best! This is what I love about WW, they were focusing on the mental aspect of weight loss with the Tools for Living YEARS (decades) ago before all the cool kids were doing it and there were actual buzz words for it. I am glad to see they are going back to what worked for members. |

Thanks for sharing the link. I have been wondering where the pre-New Year commercials have been.
I have to admit that back in 2007 when I was ready to make a big change weight-wise I was sitting here at the computer and a commercial for WW Online came on. I had always thought that WW was a fabulous weight loss program from all of my reading but I never had time or desire to go to meetings. It was perfect timing. I signed up online that day.
I am most likely going to go to meetings for the first time soon after the new year to make Goal and Lifetime and I am happy to know that the focus will be on the behavior modification needed for sustained weight loss. We all know how that is the key.
I haven't seen the video on my FB feed but will keep an eye out for it to appear. |

I thought that 15% was among new members compared to existing members. Did they even do a comparison to existing members who switched from PP to SP?
Sticking with SP but doing it my way. Less fake foods, more protein. So far lost 4 lbs this month. 4 lbs left to get back to goal. Hopefully whatever mental rethinking stuff they have in the works helps me.

I'm also not on Face Book so can't view the video. Our leader told us the same deal....changes were being made to the beyond the scale part of the program.
