CHECK-IN: HumpDay WEDNESDAY 2/27/2019 - All are WELCOME!

Morning all.I'm in also.It's supposed to be much warmer this afternoon at least for one day.

Grocery shopping and Walmart on the schedule for this morning.Maybe a walk in the afternoon.

Have a great day all.

Good morning.

Repeat forecast: Cold, snow later, etc, etc, etc. Snow flurries right now.

Vet appt for Rosie---another vaccination. I like to split up the doses to avoid the possibility of side effects so this is just a tech visit, a quickie. I want to see how much she weighs, too---she is growing like a weed!!

diva49, I read the article you linked and came away with a few thoughts: WW is a hot mess; Mindy is putting out mixed messages; they blew it with the WW crap and are now trying to backpedal and realize that they need to put more emphasis on weight loss.

No kidding, Mindy. We could have told you that before you wasted the money on Wellness that Works. WW or whatever needs to pull in the reins and stop the scatter-shot approach. You can NOT be all things to all people. Take the cape and tiara off and stop trying to think you are going to change the world. FOCUS.

From what I can see from the conference call transcript she is still trying to convince people that this is the road to take, with a few tweaks. Honestly, it doesn't look like some of the others questioning her were buying the spiel.

Interesting read---maybe it should have its own thread, diva49?

Wishing all at least a halfway decent day.

KOKO.

Good morning MJ, Doordie, Becky, Linda, Fullmahina, Cyndee. I'm in, planned and tracked except for dinner. I have plenty of wiggle room but just don't know what I want. It will be easy because I don't get home from my meeting until 7 p.m.

Good morning. I’m in.

neen , I’m LOLing at the thought poor Oakie at home, howling about his loneliness. My cat Missy does that whenever she wakes up and I’m not in the room with her.

The weather here is drizzly/miserable. We got significant rainfall overnight…I heard it on and off all night long. But no significant daytime rain so far.

It will be a boring day of colonoscopy diet and prep. I’ll be glad to see the other side of the procedures tomorrow afternoon.

The WW earnings results and transcript of the earnings call made for interesting reading. I think they could have summarized things with a bullet list:

• We pissed off long-time members and they did NOT come back in January
• We failed to deliver on the recruitment of sufficient new members
• We’ve hired several new VPs to the executive ranks to help figure out how to fix this mess
• We’ve replaced a couple of departed board members with new blood and maybe they will have some ideas to fix this mess
• We’ve realized that pushing Oprah into the background for 2018 was a major mistake and are taking steps to bring here, once again, to the forefront in hopes that the “Oprah Aura” will work its magic
• IF there are to be changes to the program in 2020—and we’re not saying there WILL be (but our science people have been working on this for a year)—they would be introduced prior to the January 2020 diet season.

Morning all, thank you for the kick off diva49.

Hit the ground running and continuing to do so before the rain hits. I am in.

Was laughing and shaking head when I saw the earnings call report. Is there a news station NOT reporting it?!? What a shame. She took a sinking ship and instead of turning it around, sounded its’ death knell. 🤦‍♀️

Back to work, have a great day everyone! ☕️☕️

I just have to observe that while WW had lousy results, mostly as a result of their insane changes, the company is not anywhere done for. True, there were disappointment in the numbers and investors, especially institutional investors, flee from companies that disappoint, WW has profit and money in the bank. They just haven't grown as they had projected. So I don't expect the doors to be closing anytime soon—although some meetings and/or studios may be closed to further cut costs.
