Things have been way too quiet on the WW front. Makes me wonder what Mindy is up to since she is always switching things up. chook any news from down under? Any tidbits from across the pond? Feel free to speculate. The closet winner to the new plan gets to pick the featured background colors for a day. But with that prize comes the fact that we will forward all messages/inquires directly to your private messages on how members feel about the new colors. 🤣 What would you like to see them change/add for the new plan? |

I'd like to see them ditch the whole Freestyle mess, and bring back the GHGs.

I'd love it if they'd go back to momentum.

I would rather a glass of Chianti than a change in color LOL...just sayin'  I would also love to see the GHG's brought back along with the 3 month journal that you can check them off as you go! I am all about easy peasy. |

I would like the ghg back! ✔✔✔
Also, and clearly I've been holding this one in, I'd like ww to ditch all the touchy freely bull and return to what I pay for! The leaders are not trained proffessionals!! They are given very little training and really don't know what they are doing! Im tired of all the how are you feeling... how did you feel after.. what do you think made you feel this way...rrrre🤬 did you not listen!
I pay ww for weight loss not to kumbaya my neighbor.

Hmmmm, I'm trying to think what they could do that would encourage me to go back. Bringing back old plans won't work for me because I downloaded Itrackbites. Why pay when I can have an older plan for free? I also can't imagine how their tech department would handle several plans at once.
The new plan needs to use added sugar only so you're not penalized for natural sugars. Less touchy-feely topics & more useful info.
I think the one area that might bring me back is if they provided weekly menus. They have plenty of recipes in their database to do this. Even if I didn't follow the entire menu, it's be a great start. Skinnytaste does this for free so I can't imagine it'd be that difficult for WW to manage.
Small tweaks won't work for me so we'll see what happens.

I am a lifetime member and currently have free etools. (I am a bit more than 2 pounds over goal so would have to pay if I went to a meeting but I have lots of vouchers left). So the question for me is what would cause me to attend meetings again and what would cause me to follow a WW plan.
I can't imagine any WW plan that I would really follow as I am happy with calorie counting. If they brought back Points Plus as an option I might dual track it.
To come to meetings I would need value in the meetings. Quit cheerleading for Freestyle and focus more on basic behavioral change and weight loss strategies that apply to any program. That might work to get me to meetings.

I echo the return to Momentum and the GHG's!
I haven't been to a meeting in years, but my first leader was a bit into the touchy-feely topics and I actually liked it. Not super woo-woo stuff, but just speaking a lot more to the mental and emotional aspects of losing weight - actually more of a CBT way of going about it (anyone remember the Tools for Healthy Living? I loved those!).
All of that being said, I can't imagine anything that they could do to bring me back as a paying member. I feel like I get everything I need from itrackbites and this message board, and I get it for free!

I am all about easy peasy. I suspect, although I can't be 100% sure, that she means colors as in foods. That is what people are trying to focus on these days, the different colored fruits and vegetables each bring something different in health benefits, so if you make sure to get a lot of colors you are doing good. |

mattlaura, I meant the background colors for this forum. When we started up here there were numerous *ahem* threads about how badly our colors choices "sucked". 🤣 itsrad and I would receive multiple messages daily about it too. "Are you guys blind, can't you see how hideous these colors are!?" type messages. We finally did a poll as to which combo everyone prefered. Fun times, fun times.

Freestyle is the only plan I'm familiar with and it works for me, so I hope nothing changes!
