bbbearsmom, now that you mention it, I remember that. WW has very inconsistent policies.

bbbearsmom,I had beck threads going on the old WW message board for years on the 50+ lbs to lose board. If I remember correctly, it was not only taken down, I got an email telling me it was a violation or something like that. So yeah, if it's on connect, that's odd. Are they going to allow it for a while and then stop it? the funny thing is, I see WW using some of the same strategies I've read in Beck's books. (Maybe they don't want us to notice. lol)

Sometime after WW banned Beck from the old message boards and then terminated the message boards, they allowed Beck on Connect. I'm not sure when Beck started on Connect, but it must have been very early on.

I'm not sure when Beck started on Connect, but it must have been very early on. I started following Stenya (Chris in Chicago) who does the Beck book club pretty much when connect started. Someone that I followed from the old WW message board mentioned her here so I started following her. I just looked and she has over 35,000 followers so I'm sure WW knows about it. Hashtag #BDS ,#BDSbookclub, BDSintro, BDSday1, BDSday2, through BDSday42 and #BDSweekend will get you all kinds of Beck stuff.

so I'm sure WW knows about it. Yes I'm sure WW knows. I follow her too. I never post on Connect. It just makes me angry about how they banned Beck on the message boards. Thanks bbbearsmom for sharing Beck on the old boards and for continuing on here. The tools helped me so much to get back to goal weight and to maintain below goal for almost 11 years now.

lindasb12, catfishbabs, susan092907, Maybe the difference is that Connect is WW members only where the old message boards were opened to anyone. It happen when they got a new guy (maybe the chief science officer, the guy that wrote the recent book) and his background was cognitive behavioral therapy. I liked the shift in the meetings at the time, now I sometimes wish they would have more topics on the nitty-gritty of doing the program. I never got involved with Connect. I didn't have a smart phone at the time and these boards and Facebook take up enough of my time.
