I can still get there, but nobody is posting to GOAD anymore. Even when I am not logged in as a member, I can get there using: https://weightwatchers.com/community/mbd/threads.aspx?board_id=15&forum_id=1
Thanks! I was able to get there using the URL you provided! I had to set it to see posts for the last 10 days in order to see anything, but at least I was able to get there!0 -
Cindy, did you remember to turn off the lights when you were done in there?0

Not much there. But when you do get in, you can find the old 'hidden threads' as well.0

Yes I am currently a member (lifetime) and attend weekly meetings to visit with my WW friends. Message boards haven't made any difference either although I like the peeps here.
I tried out the smartpoints plan for a couple of weeks of tracking and found no real difference for me in terms of my eating habits. I have my eating memorized and weigh portions.

Are you a currently a member? Yes- Lifetime. I attend meetings 2 or 3 times a month (for free)
Has the SmartPoints program affected your membership status decision? No, but I think it's stupid. I am using old school WW Points Log where I record water, fruits/veg, dairy, activity. I frankly don't know how anyone looses weight on new program.
Has the elimination of message boards affected your membership status decision? No.0 -
1) Planning on leaving WW officially (I.e. stop paying) on Friday. I haven't been "doing" it for some time.
2) Smart Points - yeah I had a hard time adjusting to that. Kinda turned me off.
3) Message Boards - were the only thing tethering me to WWW, so yeah...kinda the last straw.0 -
Thanks, everyone for your input. While I'm technically lifetime but well over goal weight, I had "rejoined" through my company, who was paying for it. Since I'm not using the SmartPoints plan, I finally cancelled my membership yesterday.
I've used Lose It for tracking some in the spring and early summer and will probably go to doing that. I find that tracking for me is more about keeping track of my overall intake as opposed to the math, so it doesn't really matter to me if I use points or calories as long as I'm noting my intake (like Podkey, I basically know what I'm eating.)
It's nice having the community here, and another community I follow on the proboards.0 -
darn, i just posted on the WW goad board.0

I think the points system, in whatever version, has become obsolete with the advent of apps that will do the math for you. 30 points was easier to keep track of in your head (or on a paper tracker) than 1800 calories, when you had to do the math yourself. But now, you just enter the food, it looks up the number, subtracts it for you -- so what's the big deal if its counting calories or counting points? That meant that WW lost any advantage of having a 'simpler' system.

I hadn't even tried in weeks since GoaD is here now anyway, but since you posted a link, I had to try it and yup, it does still work. It's useless, but it works0 -
1. Yes, Lifetime at goal in addition to adoring my ML
2. Yes, gave up smoothies w/fruit because of the pts.
3. Yes but as they originally existed0 -
1. Yes, I'm a Lifer and intend to stick around. I've finally learned if I go away the pounds come back.
2. I've been IMing for a couple of years. I'm not a big fan of the change to SP because I know P+ work.
3. Change happens but I'm glad we found a new home.0 -
