The New Direction

 My last post indicated that I needed a new direction.  I don't like the current Weight Watchers program; if it works for you - GREAT.... but it just doesn't for me.

As a matter of fact, since the introduction of smart points and moving forward; none of those plans have worked for me.

The original point program and points plus is what worked for me.  So I'll probably go back to the Healthi App to follow one of those.  In the meantime, I've joined a group for six weeks of commitments.

I've been following Jean-Luc & Nick since they were known as the Weight Watchers Gays.  They were great influencers for WW, they even appeared in some commercials; but as with all "big name" WWer's, WW eventually turned their back on them and they had to move on.

They did a plan a few years back which I joined, but dropped out of early.  This was during the covid period and I had a hard time finding food items for the food plan portion.  The food plan pushed towards vegetarian (it wasn't required, but it is what it is), and that's not how I want to eat and again, a lot of the food items just weren't in the stores due to covid, not to mention the costs of the foods that were, were extremely high.  They ran that program for a few cycles, ending it this year.

Now they are doing 6 weeks of commitment called Kickstart.  This is totally free to join!  The only purchase you may want to make is to purchase the Kickstart Workbook.  It's $25 (USA) for the booklet or you can get a download to print yourself for $15; but you can use any workbook/app/whatever you want to to follow along (but I highly recommend the workbook).  For more information go here:

Kickstart with Jean-Luc & Nick

It cost nothing, so what do you have to lose?!

There isn't a food plan; so choose what you want.  The first commitment is, of course, to make the commitment to stick to the program for 6 weeks.  The other 9 commitments? You choose those, so they are different for everyone.  I often work on tries and that pretty much is what the commitments are; the little steps to reach a bigger goal.

Kickstart starts September 16, 2024.  This date is kind of ironic as September 16th was the date of my first meeting at WW back in 2010.  Weird, huh?

In the meantime?  I'll keep pushing forward; no sense looking back.
