I know that many of us here migrated from the WW message boards. I also know (or THINK) that we have many new participants who were never on the WW message boards. And some who haven't even done WW. So here's the poll:

Were you a member of the WW GOAD board?
Have you followed WW in the past?
Are you following any of the WW programs now?

    Yes yes yes***

    ***OK I have the plan memorized so it's not necessary for me to journal everything. I still use the same portions and eat mostly simply filling foods. Many WWers consider themselves as doing the program in a similar fashion. Should my weight drift steadily upwards I would go back to recording it all.

    I lurked on the WW GOAD board and posted there once or twice.

    I followed every program of WW on and off since 1971.

    I stopped following WW in March 2016 after trying Smart Points/ Beyond the Scale for 3 months and finding it unworkable. That's when I came here to MFP. It was the first time I tried any program other than WW.

    Have you followed WW in the past? Only in terms of accountability and support - I never did any of the points systems. I got to goal/lifetime by calorie counting.

    Are you following any of the WW programs now? I haven't attended a meeting since last December, but I stop in once a month to keep my free lifetime status active. Which reminds me that October is almost over so I need to get there over the weekend.

    Yes.

    Not really. I had transitioned to IM (Intuitive Maintenance) in 2010 or 2011 so I've techincally been 'off program' for 5 or 6 years. That said, there are a lot of resources offered in the WW toolkit and I have, at various times, used any or all of them.

    I continue to think WW is a great program. Right now, as podkey and misterhub imply, there is so much ingrained in my behaviors from WW that I think it still serves as an internal 'frame of reference.'

    There are, after all, only so many ways to balance the calories in/calories out equation to where I need it to be to meet my weight management goals.
