Also have noticed the online WW store is not selling the usual things so must be waiting for the new stuff to launch.

I rang the WW line & all the new products come out Monday. I am so glad I did not spend too much on their stuff this yr. I have the new pedometer but never used the extra points it gave me so will not need to update that.

Well I spent $100 on the scales! Maybe I should flick them off on trademe quickly before news gets out too far lol. They are quite handy regardless though....
New programme looks great!

How is everyone going on the new propoints plan? Im just trying to get my head around some food and meals being higher in propoints, thinking that I dont want to waste/use so many points for one meal although we have more propoints to use each day... so far so good though.
I bought the pack at my meeting which has the essentials kit as well as the scales, oil spray thingee and measuring spoons as was $70 cheaper to buy them all at once, but we were told the scales wouldnt be arriving until possibly early jan?!  Has anyone else heard anything about that? Am hoping I dont have to wait that long..
Will be interesting to see how next weigh in goes, good luck everyone!

Jazzy the scales are normally $100 on their own. The essentials pack which is the new shopping/eating out guides, and journal is $50, and you get a free propoints calculator.
Theres another pack (think it might be called food lovers?! cant quite remember), which is the scales, oil spray thingee and measuring spoons for $130, but there is a deal on that if you buy both packs a tthe same time for $150/$160, you save $70 and you get a free programme cookbook which is normally $30 (and has some good recipies in it!)
The new scales are supposed to be pretty awesome, our leader was saying if you weigh some meat (as an example) and type in what kind of meat it is it'll calculate how many propoints it is. Not sure if the old ones did that? I didn't have them. The downside is we were told they wouldnt arrive possibly until the beginning of jan.
Have got 600g to go before I hit my 10%, after that still have another 22kg to go, must admit I've found the new programme rather motivating! I love that all fruit is now 0..

meggls thanks, I am trying to decide weather to do meeting or at home plan. I do like the idea of online but I like books & if you don't carry on with the monthly plan then you lose everything you have imputed (I guess).

Has anyone seen weight watchers products in the supermarket since pro points started? I don't normally buy them but I was wondering if they have changed to pro points now instead of points? I am thinking of popping down the supermarket in my break and stocking up on some snacks to leaver here at work.

yay i have internet back finally. i have a love/hate relationship with the new plan. i hate it cos eating 29 points on the new plan is actually frikin impossible but i love the fact that WW is finally teaching ppl to eat properly. as a personal trainer i have always been quite down on WW because ppl can eat a burger and then nothing for the rest of the day and that is only, or like my flatmate who spends at least 1/3rd of her daily allowance on wine every day. all up im pleased with the new plan

I'm not having much trouble - I found I wasn't eating enough on the old plan and was hungry... My brekkie of rolled oats alone is 9 points though... and lunch and dinner have been between 8-12 points. I bought some of the WW wraps and meals to try and they are 8 points each too. Lovin' the free fruit!!
