New Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers introduced a new program this week called Points Plus. It has some changes from the old plan. You get a higher points allowance and more weekly points, but many foods are also higher points. However, basically all fruits and veggies are now 0 points. Also, instead of calculating points values based on calories, fat, and fiber, they calculate Points Plus values based on protein, carbs, fat, and fiber. If any of you are interested in learning more about the new program, let me know soon. The only way to find food points now is to buy their books, to pay for the online tracker, or to buy a points calculator - no more slide rules. But they are having a sale on the calculators, so I can get you one for $6 if you let me know soon.
Good luck in your own fitness journey!

P.P.S. Lisa, sorry to put you off (again!), but this week my points got all messed up because half were on the Points plan and half were on teh Points Plus, so I'll have to mail it another week... oops.

P.P.P.S. Eric and Tanya, I never mailed yours, either. Oops. and now I'm too lazy to go back in my tracker and copy everything, plus some of it might be different anyway because of the changes with the new system. oops. I'll mail it to you guys another week.
