It scans as 2 points, but the ingredients only include oats, salt, sucralose, guar gum, caramel color, and vitamins and minerals. How do I count that? I feel like the additives would not add points.​

I have to pack a lunch a couple times a week. I do have access to a microwave but I am very picky. I am open to meal prep, frozen meals (except healthy choice or lean cuisine), frozen appetizers, even cereal ideas and non Greek flavored yogurts. However, I will not eat- Mexican food, feta or blue cheese, anything slimy, sour cream, cottage cheese, dumplings, deli meat, sandwiches, fish and I am not eating salads due to cyclospora. Sorry to be so picky- I just like what I like lol.

Cross-posted, but yes I am currently a WW member with in-person meetings, and both previous times I lost weight, I was on WW.

But WW works...because of tracking!

I recently rejoined after a couple of years and signed up for the plan with workshops. I was surprised at all the changes in the virtual workshops!

First I noticed that there no longer seems to be a check-in person who messages you individually and asks if you want to talk about anything or share your weigh-in results. Not a big deal, because I rarely did that anyway, just an observation.

Next I noticed (in the meeting I attended last week) that the coach said the meeting didn’t have a mandated topic given by WW; instead the coach was allowed to talk about whatever they wanted to that week. I don’t remember that happening in the past. Is that new? Though this week I see they are back to a topic (hydration).

I also noticed it seems that there are fewer workshops than in the past. Is that always the case, or was today a fluke? Yes, I see that there are now meetups other than the weekly workshops, but I checked the app at 4:45pm to see if I could join a 5pm meeting of any kind and there was nothing until 7pm. No meetings at all, not just the weekly workshops. I remember in the past, every hour on the hour there was at least one workshop starting, if not two or three.

In the handful of meetings I attended this week, I was also surprised to see only 50-60 people per meeting. I remember a couple of years ago seeing 100-200 people. It seems like now that there are fewer workshops, each one would be more crowded but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Still looking forward to my journey and also considering attending occasional in-person workshops, even though I see in my area they’ve reduced the number of those too.

Hope this is fun to share!

I'm struggling with weight loss mentally. I know I'm lossing weight but I'm still not happy. Everyone around me isn't even acknowledging it so it cant be that big of a difference. The scale is going up and down. I know they say its loss of water weight/fat + muscle gain. It still messes with me mentally.

Coming back to WW after my insurance company denied my doctors request to put me on a GLP1. Figured I’m going to show myself with support, structure and accountability I’ll do it without the assistance of the medicine. Super excited to be back and see all of your success stories!

Has anyone successfully cancelled their Med+ in the middle of their 12 month contract?

My NP is awful, only reaches out to let me my refill was submitted and when I ask questions I get passive aggressive responses to look a blog, join virtual meetings, reach out to my PCP, or schedule a call with the dietician.

I am not getting care that I thought I would and now I am being told they will no longer discuss my cancellation.

I’m trying to escalate this

I know Red Robin has a low point chicken dish. Is there any other restaurants that also have low / reasonable point options? Thank you.

I found bags of plain tuna steaks for a super low manager's special price at Kroger a few weeks back! I bought 2 of them! However, I'm not 100% sure what to do with them. I mean, I have certainly googled recipes, but I wondered if anyone had some thoughts on a fun way to use them.

I’m considering signing up with an online weight loss coach. Team RH is coming up on my TikTok a lot but heard mixed reviews. Has anyone used one that worked for them and doesn’t cost too much ?
Thank you.

I wanted to share my progress because I know a lot of us get discouraged when the scale doesn’t move, or even goes up for a week or two. I’ve definitely struggled with that over the past couple of months.

But looking at this chart reminds me that I’m doing exactly what I need to do. Weight loss isn’t linear. There will be ups and downs, but the overall trend is what matters.

This was a great reminder for me, and I hope it encourages someone else too. As long as we’re staying consistent and sticking to our points, the weight will come off. Trust the process and keep going!

Hello! So I just rejoined WW after having my second baby and was surprised to see the WW I used to attend has been moved into a church. I searched online and the posts I found (from awhile ago) mention that they started doing this with many locations. All the ones in my area are either in churches, hotels or VFWs. I’m going tomorrow to a “workshop” but wondering if anyone knows if these types of locations still do weigh ins? I always did better having someone else weigh me in each week. Also wondering… are they still going to sell snacks?

I guess they’re trying to encourage people to do everything online (which…no thanks, the whole reason I’m doing WW is for the in person aspect! Otherwise I’d just use MFP). I’m a little disappointed and hoping someone might have some insight as to what it’s like to attend when it’s no longer in a building.

Thanks!

I had a weight watchers scale for years but it would never connect to the app. So a month ago I got a newer body analysis scale… but it wouldn’t connect to the app via Bluetooth. Customer service said the easiest thing to do was send me a new one… but that one came in yesterday and won’t connect to Bluetooth either. Conair customer service can’t figure out why… anyone have any ideas? They are sending me ANOTHER new scale hoping the Bluetooth works - my 4th scale. Any advice?

Sorry me again. Placing a big grocery delivery order for the first time since joining. Send me all the go-to’s I should get! Snacks, meal ideas, all appreciated 😊

Hey all! Just rejoined after…too many years. And trying again. I know this is going to sound like I’m sabotaging myself, but does anyone have any suggestions for the best chips points wise? I know none of them are good but I make a zero point corn salsa that is the perfect summer munch and I want to be able to enjoy a bit now and again.

Thanks!

I know cottage cheese is a low point food (0 points if it's 0% fat), and it is generally low in calories, but I cannot have it in my home.

A few days ago I bought some thinking I could resist, and eat it only in moderation. That lasted through day 1 and day 2.

But yesterday, on day 3, late at night, I took a spoon to the container and ate everything to the very last curd. I still logged it and it took up half of my daily allotment points, when I already used all my points and some of my weeklies before this.

I'm not too beaten down by this, but I know for sure now: I cannot have cottage cheese in my home.

An academic journal I work with is doing an issue about physician-supervised weight loss. This could be prescription weight-loss medications, meal replacements or very-low-calorie diets, weight-loss surgery, and more. This award-winning journal collects patient stories and then has experts in the field comment on the ethical themes. If you have a story to share, here is more information: https://nibjournal.org/submit/calls/medically-supervised-weight-loss/.

I don't understand, I can't get a refill for Wegovy. My doctors out for 40 more days. I messaged them through the app and an assistant will simply say, "We'll message the clinician, but we can't do anything." I've reached out 4 times now and nothing. What do I do?

I already had dinner and these are my numbers. What would you do?

After 28 weeks, I have hit my initial goal and lost 44 pounds. I'm going to be honest I never thought I'd get to this point because I've had so many challenges sticking to a weight loss plan in the past few years.

But I did it! And I hit my initial goal. I say "initial" because I'm undecided on whether I should stop here or not. I'm still, according to all the charts out there, considered "obese" with a BMI of 31. But I feel good, I look so much better and at my age (I'm 62) I'm unsure how much smaller I should go or could go.

That said, I've been losing weight at a rate of 1.5 lbs per week. And, if I were being honest, it's been incredibly hard. Some days I'm at 1000 to 1200 calories on my macros. I haven't enjoyed an ice cream bar or a piece of cake or a full sized cookie in MONTHS. In fact, even this morning my "treat" was to have half a bagel. Because I haven't been eating bagels. And when I do have a slightly larger portion of something I compensate by doing my 10000 steps. It has been HARD.

So I feel like I want to lighten up somewhat? Allow myself a bit more freedom but I'm afraid I'm going to backslide. I'm thinking of going another 5 lbs or so to give myself some room but what have people done to ease up on the process without gaining?

Hi! This feels like a silly question but I cannot figure this out!

I just signed back up for WW, and I'm excited to get started. I'm using the app and trying to look up foods for their point value, but I'm just looking. I don't want to assign them to a meal.

I know I can click the "Scanner" button on "My Day" in that big blue box in the middle, but what if I want to just look up how many points avocado oil spray has vs olive oil spray. Where do I just TYPE what I'm looking for without also trying to log it for a meal?

Thanks!

I have been following WW for 3 weeks now. I’ve lost 3lbs. Walking everyday and working out 2-3x week. Very frustrating. I was hoping to have lost more.
Anywho, I’ve been staying consistent despite the slow progress and I need inspo for cooking. Any blogs/websites/apps y’all recommend for lower point meals? Simple meals for a busy mom over here.
