I would like to add, please let the receptionists print weight stickers out of the computer. Discontinuing that practice to appease a few complaining malcontents was ridiculous. I don't think there is any place to stick stickers on the new weigh-in booklets. They can barely fit a hand-written number in there.

jeanie I really think it is going to be sooner than the standard winter change. Mindy has already proven she is breaking all the "traditions." It is way too soon for them to be dumping the journals and shopping guides unless they have something up their sleeves sooner than the standard end of November change up. Lol. It was a poor attempt at a game of thrones reference š¤£ youtu.be/ehj5ygMwehA

I know a lot of people here would like to see the GHGs return. I think more is needed. Honestly, at the meetings I went to the GHGs were never seen as something that was a mandatory part of the program in the same way that the points were mandatory. That is -- if you got 24 daily points and 28 weekly points (or whatever) you knew that if you increased those that you were doing something different than the program called for. I never felt that people felt that way about not meeting GHGs. They always seemed optional and not a core part of the program.
My guess will be that they don't change Freestyle much, but may offer alternative plans. Not old plans but new ones that each demonize something different.

I doubt that it was malcontent members who drove that change. My belief is that it was āPinch Penny Pattyā (A.K.A. Mindy Grossman) who made that change as well as the edict against using paper towels on the scale and discontinuance of āBravoā stickers in order to save a few pennies. IMHO ācheapen product,ā ācheapen member experiences,ā and āraise pricesā are buzz phrases to live by in Mindyās world. Put another way, āThou shalt not spend money to make money!ā

Right Zazzles.....and they had to pay for all that WW branded kitchen merchandise they are selling at meetings now. Two weeks ago they passed around a small non stick skillet. As if nobody had ever seen one before?! Maybe theyāll get rid of the Wins stuff eventually...although my email today advertised new stuff from āhimsā and hers. Hair care and minoxidil for men, skin care retinol for women and custom insoles. I donāt know whoās coming up with the promo items but thereās nothing that appeals to me.

"hers is a health and wellness brand that provides solutions for all skin, hair, and other matters of female health and wellbeing. With an online platform that gives women direct, immediate access to physicians and treatments..." The "hims" has a similar statement. So some of this stuff is "by prescription ONLY" but WW will hook y'all up with an ON-LINE doctor to write you a script. Disturbing...

Hair care and minoxidil for men, skin care retinol for women and custom insoles. I donāt know whoās coming up with the promo items but thereās nothing that appeals to me. Sounds like stuff from the "As Seen on TV" kiosk at the mall. Not one of the rewards appeal to me at all. I don't need shoe bags I don't trust that the donation option will actually get to anyone who needs it. I just looked again at the rewards. That "hims" (sic) gift card? "Everything you need to help proactively address hair loss and regrow hair, delivered to your door. From FDA-approved Finasteride (hims helps you obtain a prescription with an online doctor's evaluation) to DHT reducing shampoo, it's all here. While supplies last." All that wonderfulness will cost you 4000 WW Wins. Bear in mind that the WW reward is in the form of a gift certificate, not the bundle of items. It looks like you need to buy an ongoing subscription at $44/month with that gift certificate---I may be wrong but I don't see where you can buy a single kit so you are roped into a subscription when you cash in your reward. What a prize. Thanks, WW. The company also sells generic Viagra, among other items. www.forhims.com/?

I'm not going to hazard a guess but I agree with Mike that they won't admit that Freestyle is a failure. The changes need to be substantial to woo back members. A tweak here or there won't do it.
