In my opinion the new plan is the healthiest WW has ever presented. I don’t know why it would be hard to lose as a rejoiner. I’ve lost 9 pounds since rejoining on December 1. (Which makes me 90 pounds below my top weight.) Since I was already eating healthy, the plan simply provided me with much-needed portion guidance. But I tell everyone…Weight Watchers or any other food plan is just that…a food plan. It isn’t a magic bullet. I also do a lot of “work” on the emotional issues that I used to eat over.

I really don’t feel as though I spend much time on food prep, and if you saw my schedule, I believe you would agree I’m on the go a lot, as you are. I wake up no later than 4:30 and I hit the gym before work. Then I work all day (and often leave the office late) and on at least two nights a week I have after-work commitments for my church.

I can’t advise you on whether or not you should rejoin. Only you can decide. All I know is this plan is working for me.

Good luck as you make your decsion. And thanks for reading my blog post.

Is the only difference the fact that fruits and non starchy veggies are "free" foods? 21 years ago I lost 60 pound on the old "exchange" program and became a lifetime member. Of course I have gained it all back plus some after marriage, kids and life in general. Several years ago, I went back many times with no success. Someone once told me that it was very hard to loose weight on the program a 2nd time. I never have time to cook and make food from scratch, so I would think following this program would be very difficult for me since it involves alot of food prep. I know it works, but it is alot of trouble if your on the go alot  unless they have made it easier to follow. You definately have to have your mind made up to do it, as it does have alot of leeway to cheat. Patiance and consistancy is the key to this program. Good luck with your new motivation, I know the program is good.</p> I recently got a mailing from WW wanting me to rejoin with no fee, which made me very curious about the new points plus program.

Amount may differ in other locations. I don't recall the amount of the joining fee, but there are likely to be advertised New Year's sales. Basically, WW teaches members how to calculate "point values" for every food under the sun. The number of points someone gets per day is based on current weight and that number reduces as weight is lost. That's a very abbreviated explanation. You might hop on to WW's website to learn more. I highly recommend the food plan.</p> I pay $12/week. Amount may differ in other locations. I don’t recall the amount of the joining fee, but there are likely to be advertised New Year’s sales.

I paid a joining fee (don't remember how much) and I pay $12/week. Basically, WW teaches us to calculate "point values" for any food using a formula that takes into consideration grams of protein, carbs, fat, and fiber. Each person gets a number of points per day based on their current weight (heavier folks get more points), and the number of points allowed each day decreases as one loses weight. That's a VERY abbreviated explanation. You might hop on the Weight Watcher's website to learn more. Report back here if you decide to join.

PointsPlus really DOES encourage good, clean, virtuous choices, doesn't it? One word of caution, use the zero PointsPlus Values on your fruits and veggies, not with "free abandon," but rather as a tool to stave off hunger and bulk up your meals. Can't wait to hear how your week went! </p> Good for you and congratulations! PointsPlus really DOES encourage good, clean, virtuous choices, doesn’t it?
