Here's something that really grinds my gears. The new plan has been out for five minutes and already some leaders somewhere are selling the files on eBay.
I don't know who is going to read this blog, but for heaven's sake DO NOT BUY STUFF FROM EBAY! They will charge you the earth.
Come to a meeting or join online, that way you'll be sure to get all information, and the support you need.

Launch 2 - success.... all bar 2 things!
So this morning went well, although I stood somewhere different to weigh and it was right in front of a radiator, so by the time I actually started my meeting, I was so hot I actually nearly passed out!!! Not the greatest of beginnings!! Got the door open, and cooled off and was then fine though. Phew!
Second thing was that one of my really great members, 54lbs lighter so far, really stormed out at the end... I hope she's okay with it.
Again though, lots of positivity in the room generally. Fingers crossed for lots of good weight losses next week.
Ask-it meetings next week!!

And as well....
I lost another pound. I now weigh in at 11st 7lbs. This is one pound under my personal goal (and 8lbs under my actual goal weight) so I need to add another couple of ProPoints to my daily allowance now....
So I am now on 33 ProPoints a day. Let's see how that goes...... maintenance is so trial and error!

Launch 1 - success!
I can't remember much of it - it feels like a blur, and I know there was one member who actually asked me what had changed (which either meant I wasn't explaining it very well, or she just wasn't listening!!) - but I remember a lot of positivity in the meeting AND
There was a room full of people!! It was so lovely to look up to 24 faces, rather than the usual 7. Wow. It was lovely. I wish them all lots of success this week and hope they all come back and tell us all about it next week.

This is it....
Today (in about 2.5 hours) is my first launch. I feel absolutely sick with nerves.
I'm prepared, I have practised the new GSS, I have some (probably not enough but I had to split it!) stock, I think I'm ready with answers, I have balloons, I have everything I think I need, but that means absolutely nothing!!!
Once I get there, I'll either be great or go to pieces. Let's hope it's the first one!

Happy ProPoints Launch Day (week!) WOO HOO!!
So today, after all the stuff in the papers/magazines/online, ProPoints is finally officially being launched this week.
Of course my meetings aren't until Thursday and Saturday, giving my members ample time to hear about it from other members/friends and eSource (cannot WAIT to see new eSource go live tomorrow!) and then hopefully they'll be all hyped up by the end of the week.
Just hope that I can do it justice on launch night!

OMG. The Daily Mail!?!??!?
Renowned for being quite possibly one of the worst scaremongering papers ever (even though it purports to be a broadsheet in a tabloid format), The Daily Mail has been given an (almost) exclusive on ProPoints.
I was livid when I read it (and after a look on the Leader site, turns out I wasn't the only one). I sent a massive email to all the Leaders in my area and my ASM too complaining!!
I think, on reflection, it was the fact that we were all asked to keep it a complete secret until soft launch week, and then - at the eleventh hour no less - WeightWatchers head honchos go and give all the secrets away in a massive three page spread.
The article in question, if you haven't already read it, is here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1326447/Weight-Watchers-Pro-Points-plan-A-new-approach-dieting-success.html but by now you should already know all about ProPoints from your Leader and know how fabulous it is!
Anyway, feeling pretty despondent I headed off to my Thursday night meeting, determined to put a happy and excited face on it and STILL not let anything slip to my members.
Imagine my delight and surprise when the meeting was full! (Well full for this meeting anyway!! Haha!). I had members returning, new members joining and everyone stayed for the meeting talk too! I was very enthusiastic.... how could I not be? ProPoints has helped me to lose weight and I don't really have weight to lose!!
So as it turned out, I had one of the BEST meetings I've had for a LONG time.
The interesting thing was that one of my members said she'd read the Daily Mail article and when she tried to say what she'd read it all came out COMPLETELY muddled up. So even though they've read it, it doesn't mean they understand any of it.
It makes total sense to us as Leaders when we read the article, because we know how it works and we've been trained how to follow it and how to help members follow it, but they need LEADING!! My panic was instantly dispelled, and was made even better when I asked everyone to write down their goals for Christmas and they came out with things like:
- Have a guilt-free Christmas
- Enjoy a party over the festive period without putting too much (any) weight on
- Get into my party dresses
- Be able to go to an impromptu party without worrying about gaining that week.
Everyone said I was visibly excited while we were discussing these things and I said "You know why???? You'll find out next week!!!!"
They may have read all about it, but they're going to look to us to lead them. It's all about the members and I guess the proof will be in the (WW ProPointed!) pudding when we see how the numbers look coming through the doors next week.
Let's just say I was totally eating my ranting words.
