If you are not sure how the program works then I would recommend going to a
few meetings to get the materials for the FlexPoints program. Week #1
explains the whole program. Right now they are offering free registration
and a 2-week quick start set of menus plus an exercise CD. Offer good until
1/31/04.

I attended meetings for about 3 months last year and have continued the
program on my own. I am thinking about going back for a few meetings again
so that I have all of the new flexpoint materials.

Hi.
New around these parts and am looking for some advice. My girlfriend and
I
are both a little overweight, and reckon it's diet related. I've had a
look
around and notice that weight watchers seem to do some decent looking
cookbooks, according to Amazon anyway.

Can I just pick up a couple of cookbooks and get going, or is there more
to
it than that? I didn't want anything too rigid, I just need to lower my
calorie intake a bit. I know there's a points system with WW, but that's
about the extent of my knowledge.

If I outlay some cash for the books will they cover points and stuff so
that
I can get off the mark, or is there something else I need to do, or
subscribe to, that's going to cost me extra, but is essential to getting
started?

Any advice welcome, thanks.
