From what I have been reading from my materials I think this is the best that Weight Watchers has ever done when it comes to pointing out how to live healthy.  I am really very pleased with all I have read.  I decided to start the plan on my normal day instead of jumping into it mid week.  I feel this way I can prepare and do much better with it.

I looked at the weekly tracker they give out at the meetings and I really liked that they put in a simple grocery list in it that has checks to mark off stuff to stock up on.  It’s a good list to start out your grocery shopping list for the week. 

Another thing I really like is their break down of PointsPlus Target into meals and snacks for the day.  They have a chart with suggestions depending on how many points you get.  I had done this before when I was making sure to not run out of points before the day was over.  It really helps to break it down when trying to plan out stuff.  I think it will be important now more than ever since the points are different and it is a such a switch in thinking for those of us that have been doing this for a while.

I went to the meeting and got my stuff for the new PointsPlus plan.  Fruit is free on the plan.  I have a several more points than I had before.  I have a lot of information to read and then it will be a lot of planning. 

I got the deluxe members kits and found out the calculator was not in it, instead there was a coupon to trade in for the calculator.  Since they didn’t want us to open the materials before the meeting I found out afterwards….after I was already home.  I went back out tonight and got my calculator.  I was very happy to find out the new 3 month tracker fits in my cover that I got a few months back.  I really do like the little cover.

With this plan they are only giving out two books all on week one.  So I have everything I need to read already.  I was a little worried to start with on how I was going to figure out my husband’s PointsPlus target as it does not give the formula for it in the book they give out.  However once I got the calculator I was able to use it to figure out the points.

The points on many foods have changed.  My beloved fudge bar from WW is now 3 points instead of 1.  The raspberry dark chocolate bar they have stayed 2 points.  Guess we know which one I will chose if I do ice cream now.  However since fruit is free I will probably for go the ice cream most the time and have some grapes.  But then that is the point now isn’t it?

Not much longer now.  The new Weight Watchers plan comes out tomorrow.  I am looking forward to seeing what all they have changed.  I feel this is going to be a really good thing.  I have heard that fruit is going to be free on the plan and that will be a big plus for me because I think I can get in my fruits and veggies so much better that way.  From everything I am reading online the new plan is called Points Plus. 

I do eTools on the Weight Watchers site and use the iPhone app that they have and I am looking forward to seeing what they do with the app.  I read that the app may not be available for the first couple of days after the plan is released.  Not surprised as it takes a while for a new update on an app to show up on iTunes anyway.

I think the book I added on the side menu is the New Complete cookbook for this plan since it is a pre-order and not available yet.  I will keep an eye on it and make sure I am right about this. 

My husband is looking forward to the new plan too and is wanting to start it ASAP.  We did really good at one point helping each other out on WW.  I am hopeful that will be the case again.
