New Weight Watchers!

It caught my eye, I'll probably join the At Work program when it starts up again in January. I love the idea of a zero point apple!

I really haven't had much time to look at it, although I'm using the e-tools. The number of points you get has gone up, and the values for most foods have gone up. I rode my bike 25 minutes yesterday, (burned 250 calories) and it gave me 3 APs. I like it that we can swap out the AP's first now, but haven't figured out how to do it yet on the online program.

I lost 38 pounds on the old program, and I don't think it will change my eating habits too much, but I had memorized most of the points for foods I eat regularly and now I have to look everything up again. So it takes a little longer to track.

BTW- there is a daily message board thread on the WW website that is all cyclists- under the Fitness Challenge- called Biking Babes and Guys- nice people who are all trying to lose or maintain and who love bikes, if you want to stop by and say "hi".

I eat tons of fruits and veggies. So, what I've found in the first few days is that I have to eat more to eat all my daily points. (Your daily points are supposed to be a minimum, not a maximum.) But I think I'm OK with that, because on the old plan, I often felt deprived, and them would sometimes make bad choices at night. Now, I can eat a little more throughout the day and feel more satisfied at the end of the day. We'll see how it goes after a few weeks.

The thing I'm disliking most at the moment is that I have TONS of custom foods in my favorites list, so now I have to go back and re-enter all the nutrition information. That's proving to be a bit of a pain the butt, but once it's done, it's done.

So I recently gave up meat, still trying to get a healthy meal plan & lose weight. I did WW a few years ago but have not been able to really do it since. Those that are doing the new program think it will work for someone not eating meat, no fish? I do eggs & dairy.
