    WW is pretty easy. It runs around $10US a week, sometimes they have specials. I think you have to purchase the new points calculator (it used to be included in the registration fee).

    Default i agree - crowded meetings!

    VERY crowded...i went on Monday to a lunch time meeting soley to get familiar w/ it and get the materials. My usual weigh in is Thursday AM so i'll get weighed tomorrow and then dive in.

    Also, etools weren't working and I'm sad to see they added alot of flash so i can't use etools on my ipad, though there's an ipad app in the works at least!

    In addition, as a PP mentioned, all of the existing calculators, etc are history! And there's no paper slide rule calculator either, you pretty much either need eTools on a smartphone or their calculator.

    This also means the sites such as dottie's are no longer updated (most likely!).

    I think we should start another post of our favorites and what the pointsplus values are.

    ... And 29 points is the default minimum. No one's points allowance is lower than that.

    It would be a good time for anyone to get started, a more difficult time to continue if you've been having some success.

    Dottie's website has the point totals for many resturants. Now of course, those totals can be off but it gives you a better idea of what food is served and their point. To find her site just google.

    And yes I believe the total weekly allowance is 49.

    You'll convinced me to go to my WW at work meeting for the first time in months. I still made lifetime. Waaahoooo!

    I paid $12 today as I had not weighed in for months. Our leader said that the calculater is half off in December ($5.95 I think). Limit one.

    35 points for lifetime/maintence.

    I think this is a positive change. I never quite followed the previous plans as I ate too many servings of fruit to do the regular program and a little too much "crap" to do CORE as recommended. This will help people to make truly healthier choices. Bring on the fruits and veggies
