    Well since I haven't attended a meeting since sometime in late 2014/early 2015...LOL

    I simply refuse to go to a meeting and pay WW because I'm over my official goal weight. I know that I will have to pay for one missed meeting and I'm okay with that. Assuming I even decide to go back to meetings. The ONLY reason I would go back to a meeting would be to get my free voucher for eTools (or whatever it's called now). I'm not sure that I would use anything that's there; but there might be SOMETHING I could use.

    MAYBE if I had continued to attend meetings, I would never have gotten above my goal weight. I'll never know. I was really getting very little from meetings when I moved away from Raleigh. There I knew all the meeting members and had a GREAT leader. Down here the leader wasn't so great and I knew no one. And the people that attended mainly talked about all the frankenfoods they could eat for low points. Since I hadn't counted points in years, I didn't find this very helpful.

    I still remember the discussion during the last meeting I attended here about turkey bacon -- not that that's a true "frankenfood". When I pointed out that center-cut REAL bacon had no more points (in fact it's less) than turkey bacon, I was met with glaring eyes LOL

    Yeah the only reason I go is to see some WW buddies and to get my free eTools vouchers which I don't really need anyway. If I moved I doubt I would go to a meeting with "strangers" staring at me.

    Oh and bacon?? Bacon?? Give me the real deal or none at all. DW often cooks a costco brand pre-cooked real bacon that crisps up super duper well in a microwave to a nice crunch. I eat 1/2 of a slice. YUM.

    Yes I have had my share of big aaarse eye rolls at WW meetings myself. Sorry folks water is not a fat solvent and beyond normal amounts, additional fluids aren't needed. Hot beverages like zero broth based soups or hot tea can help a pinch with hunger pangs temporarily. True for me but not cold water so much.
