I do really appreciate it. <br /><br />Aw, so sad to hear of your furbaby's passing. They are such wonderful companions. <br /><br />Thank you for your very kind words regarding my posts - I do appreciate it. :)<br /><br />Re: points vs. straight calorie-counting. This is of course, my own opinion, so feel free to disagree. <br /><brSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-53409489511817174862011-01-18T13:50:09.248-08:002011-01-18T13:50:09.248-08:00Sheila,

Your beloved Othello passed away when our first furbaby got sick, and your posts helped me feel better when our Niobe left us. Also, you have a fabulous sense of style and color and humor, so thanks for sharing it with the world!

I just can't get a handle on a program that doesn't let you eat fruits and veggies over processed food. I think you would be okay doing it online - there are forums where you can ask questions and discuss things. I know how important a strong leader is, and if you're not feeling your local leader, then that's not going Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-68321166341748352322011-01-03T12:07:01.208-08:002011-01-03T12:07:01.208-08:00Love the shoes and it's great to hear your tho...Love the shoes and it's great to hear your thoughts on the new WW plan. <br /><br />It seems that you and I share all the same opinions about the new plan. I personally am wondering how long they will force everyone to say "points plus" before they figure it is long enough that everyone knows they are talking about the new point system.

I think I am making the switch in January to WW from MF; I just love citrus-sy fruit and soups and roasted veggies and crunchy bread too much in the winter to stick with the stupid bars right now. <br />I am going to have to learn to figure out points all over again, which is weird but fine. My main question is: I wonder if I will be better off at meetings or Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166689210558948213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-50887913136841924962010-12-30T14:38:54.181-08:002010-12-30T14:38:54.181-08:00Thanks, Shy, I like them too!

And eh, I'm just bitching. :) I'm not really bothered by those things - and hey, I'll get over it. <br /><br />Alison, yes, keeping it off is the real challenge!

What a score! <br /><br />I joined WW about 13 years ago and lost 70lbs - I loved the program but had the same beef as you - how could fruit be the same value as processed bars? The new system is more logical but a lot clunkier. I don't expect to be point perfect for quite some time. Most of what I read though is very positive - more food, Baxterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700179800605651084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-85922263720943634612010-12-29T12:10:03.754-08:002010-12-29T12:10:03.754-08:00i've never done WW, but my Mom did/does.

I don't think it's possible to stumpify your legs.<br />I've never been on WW, but my old roommate talk me the rudimentary elements of the points system as a way to guide healthy eating (high fiber, low sugar, etc.) I agree that fruit/veg as 0 points is a good thing. Bummer about not giving out free points calculators.

I had to relearn from the word go. And I NEED the etools calculator until I can get a real one which bugs me because I was so used to being able to say fill a post it and track in head and fill it in at night. Can't do that now. Also it isn't intuitive I find. But 5 weeks on?

Finding a way to keep it off that works for me has been the most difficult. WW would probably help immensely, but not being in a place to afford it and have a place to go for meetings is my stumbling block. I am, however, working on being healthy and finally getting consistent exercise. <br /><br />I figure keep on working andAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447252967846432732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-65869394821801804272010-12-28T19:07:43.735-08:002010-12-28T19:07:43.735-08:00First things first, those are great shoes!

I read about them in The New York Times and like how healthy food (like fruit) is now fewer points than before, and how processed foods is considered as such. I'm not a nutritionist but I know real foods are better for us than processed ones.<br /><br />I'm sorry you have toShybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.com
