Dont know if it has been mentioned or not but the new points system wont be just called points, it will be called ProPoints and every food will have a ProPoint value

Believe me we'll be indundated with people
When WW changed last time, well when introduced Discover, the WW forums were directing everyone over here! So remember best behaviour, dress smart when it happens

Was just thinking, am going shopping around the 16th 17th of the month and usually do a whole months worth in one go, (then by extras like bread etc if and when we run out)
If I buy loads of WW stuff or start writing points on packets, whats gona happen 2 weeks after I have gone shopping when the new system starts..
(Hope that made sense)

Surely itll be just a case of recalculating the points with the new system OR just stick with the old one for that month... from the sounds of it I think a lot of people will be sticking with the current plan. Even if you go to classes they cant MAKE you change.
Or if you do change just recalculate the points for the new plan

Whew! Looks like I joined Minimins just in time!
I must admit I'm intrigued by some of the things that have been mentioned in this thread, but to be perfectly honest, if I don't like the sound of the new plan I'll stick to the Discover Plan. The leaders can't force us to follow the new plan! I remember when Discover first came out there was a lot of hype and it was a major let down. Ah well, only time will tell

To be fair, its not necessarilty changing to increase weightloss, but perhaps the change in calculation will encourage us to eat healthier foods - eg more fibre. This can only be a good thing imo.

Meant to add, I personally am looking forward to something new. I have full faith in ww, so believe it will be a good thing based on new research, might sound naive lol, but ww works only if you are fully committed and believe in it, so I have to stay in that mindset!!!!!

im looking forward to the change. i always welcome a challenge and when i start something i have never done before i have great will power. when ive done something for a while i get fed up. BRING IT ON!!! XX
In class today the Leader was talking about "the BIG CHANGE" that's happening in a few weeks and to pay attention tonight as it would be useful and then we got a comedy "nudge nudge wink wink". Wholegrain and wholewheat were the topic of the night so I am watching my fibre.

So long as they don't go on about eating that brown rice, I have no problem with what ever changes they throw my way LMAO
Tried it and well let just say, never again ever yuck lol
On the other hand, brown whole wheat paster I have is one of my favourite things to eat
Sorry for digressing a little there

I notice the next mag is out in meetings 10th Nov and in shops 11th Nov so I guess it will have the new system in!! I think it makes sense to change the plan in November cause then everything is set up and ready for the January surge!!
One thing I'm thinking... I'll often have a few packs of crisps a day as they're only 1.5 points... not the best option I know so I'm assuming the new points system will make things like this higher?? Just speculating :0) xx

Yep, and sad to say I'm not a lover, cause it would be nice with it sustaining you for longer if I was...
I'm in two minds about this, would be good cause I like to eat as much as I can now for my points so the more points a treat or crisps take out of my daily allowance the less likely I am to have them, though saying that at 1.5p for crisps at least I could have them and still have loads of points for other stuff I wanted.
We shall see in November, I don't think there is any point in speculating to much before then....
I'm going to wait and see what the "big changes" are. I've been a WW since 1982, got to goal then and stayed there for 9 yrs, then had kids and never quite made it back to goal (even when it was changed to a higher goal!)
I've seen a few programs come and go (usually every 2 yrs) and the only ones I've ever really enjoyed and had success with were the very first one I used in 1982 and the no count/core program.
I've even defected to SW but I don't seem to have much success with that even though it is like the core program.......perhaps my heart isn't really in it.
Soooooooo, I'll turn up at a class to see what the new program is all about. It's got to be worth a try. Let's hope it's not the damp squib the discovery plan turned out to be.............all those weeks of leaders teasing us with "big changes" and all it was was points re-hashed and core disappearing into oblivion (although it is available as the simply filling option you aren't encouraged to use it)
Anyway.......enough of my rambling. Give it a go, if you don't like it go back to the old system.
Good luck everyone

I'm a little nervous of the new system as I've only ever done points based on calories and saturated fats and as I lost weight this way 10 years ago, and then again now, I'm a bit whimsical about it... but we shall see!! xx
