No kidding! It’s not something we ever seem to talk about. We’re so focused on getting to the gym or going for a run. I’m thinking that our next 30 years are going to be shaped more by our everyday moving.

Oh, jeez, Millie… I only had to see the title of the Travis Saunders post to know that I’m in trouble!!! Must read that article, and take whatever action is necessary to reverse the bad effects of my job. I’ve been thinking about buying a bike next spring. Now I’m almost certain I’m going to do that!

Comment on Weight Watchers ProPoints: Love it or Hate It by Millie

Gracie – Thanks for that. I think you’re right when you say it gets people to get rid of junk. And, I have to say, that it made me rethink the alcohol content of my diet. But I go SO tired of all that info inputting. Our online tools are really crap. Maybe the American ones are better. The excuse here was that it was a new programme so not all the points values were available – like the new programme snuck up on them!

Now – DO IT! (Where’s the little kicking soldier when you need him, eh?)

Now that I’ve started the US version (PointsPlus), I have to say that I am THRILLED with it. I don’t see it as being able to eat loads of food. I feel encouraged to eat less crap, and more REAL food. When I am in WW mode, I tend to eat healthy, less-processed food. The crap comes in when I am in binge-mode. So PointsPlus is healthy eating without extreme hunger, and straying is eating the crap that destroys my attitude and my health. Now if only I would get TO it, especially now that I’ve started looking for dresses for my daughter’s October wedding!

Sounds like a tough but well-thought-out decision, Millie. I too know many women who are in the same boat. I probably would be if I was a regular wine drinker, but it makes me too sleepy! And beer just doesn’t have that same “I think I’ll sit down with a nice glass of wine and relax before ” feel to it. Good for you–managing the situation instead of bringing on the deprivation mindset–cuz we know where THAT leads!

On, man, what a GREAT idea, Millie!! Starting from such a positive place is pure genius. I hope you won’t mind if I “borrow” this strategy (thereby making me the Evil Genius? ;D ). My list of what I want to eat every day is pretty clear to me already, but maybe seeing it in writing will help me to commit to it with more gusto. Thanks for the idea. I’m off to work on it now, along with the list of “no longer on the menu” items. (Item #1 on that list: SUGAR. No surprise there, but specifics to follow.)

Glad you’re here! We can do this, (again).

Hi Sandra,

I haven’t actually done a direct comparison with my American friends on the programme. I’d be surprised if they were identical but they seem much closer than past WW plans.

So pointsplus is completly the same as Propoints? Or it still has a difference between them?

Hi Juliane, thanks for that.
