So I was looking to see if I could find a Thanksgiving paper plate example from way back when Weight Watchers used to do it. Instead a came across this little golden oldie.  |

DebDoesWW, I remember that program. Did well on it, just didn't maintain the loss.

Cool! I always wondered how that worked. I used to work with a woman who lost so much weight doing the exchanges. I'm curious about the notes under the first column. Which of the exchange lists can you can you substitute from? It doesn't say or am I missing something?

DebDoesWW , I remember that program. Did well on it, just didn't maintain the loss. Same for me. It just wasn't a sustainable program, at least for me. |

LaDonna if you look 1/2 way down on each column you will see the different exchange lists. It tells you how many you can have of each type and lists the different options. The days at the top of each is just a suggested meal plan for the week. There are optional calories that you can use each week. ' sorry it is sideways, it was the only one I saw. Instead of fighting with it I just took a screenshot then used edit and rotated it then saved it. * gottakeeptryin |

DebDoesWW, Ok I understand. I was thinking that maybe it meant you could swap in another way - like maybe swap a fruit for a piece of bread...LOL. I don't see the optional calories - was that based perhaps on your weight? like our weeklies are? and then go down as you lose?

gottakeeptryin , I can't remember how the optional calories worked, I will do some digging. I am thinking it started out low then went up. The old version of "kickstart". I do know it was different for men and women, Not sure why the "fats" are whited out but that old list is cracking me up. Salad dressing and mayo!!! * It looks like optional calories are 150 a day on some versions but in 1990 they had a version where it was weekly 0-700 for females and 14-21 "floaters".

Ah, the good old days, when a slab of WW ice cream counted as 2 dairy servings.

Ah, the good old days, when a slab of WW ice cream counted as 2 dairy servings. I remember a store (can't remember the name) that sold foods that could be used on the WWer exchange program. I got a lot of their desserts. This was in northern California back in the 1990's. |

When I did WW in 1991-1992 they came out with frozen food. I went big into their frozen desserts. I found their entrees didn't satisfy me.
The first time I got to goal I had started to relax before I even hit goal and kept on relaxing after goal and the six weeks of maintenance. I remember changing my socks once before going to a weigh-in so I would weigh less. The first time I weighed in over goal I got mad and walked out of the meeting. The person weighing me tried to get me to stay but I left. (Obviously a big mistake.)

There was a store in Virginia in the 1980s called "The Slimmery" that sold a lot of WW products and also had soft serve "ice cream". This was before you could find WW products in grocery stores, so they did a good business. |

Sometime in the 1990's WW offered frozen foods in the meeting places (if you met at a center). The centers had big storage freezers. You submitted your list when you weighed in before the meeting. While the meeting was going on, the receptionists packaged up the orders. You picked up and paid on the way out. The frozen meals at the centers were different from the Smart Ones and other WW frozen foods at the grocery. This was a push-back against Jenny Craig's frozen entrees. When I got discouraged from WW in those days, I tried Jenny Craig for a while.
It was also in the 1990's that people were taking the fen-phen for big weight loss. In our area (Southern California) WW got on the bandwagon and offered fen-phen at the centers. They stopped that pretty quickly when the reports of problems with fen-phen started showing up. I never signed up for the fen-phen. I didn't trust it--too good to be true!

And they weren't WWer products, just foods that would fit into the WWer program. There was also a restaurant I'd go to from time to time that was based on the same principle. The food was pretty good. |
