Default points, points, points

That is very nice, and has nothing to do with the fact that if you want
specification on a program that WW sells, then you have to pay for it.

I'm sure that going to Macy's and asking for this top that you really want
but don't want to pay for because it's not in your "priorities" would touch
them a lot, but not to the point to giving you the top for free.

How much you have to lose (as if you were more deserving because you're
thinner... interesting) or how behind you are on the bills (who isn't
nowadays?) doesn't change the fact that you are trying to get for free,
something that is being sold, and is also copyrighted. The law is the law,
and right is right, no matter how entitled you feel.

This all being said as politely as I could of course.

You go to a meeting and get the program... that's how.


I don't have the money to pay for the program.


By preparing your own food from wholesome, nutritious ingredients
instead of buy pre-packaged, processed stuff, you should be able to
save enough money to pay for WW and then some. Our grocery bill has
gone down substantially.




Everyone has their priorities, eh? I think it is interesting that folks
are willing to comment on my statrting position in order to determine the
relative priority of payng for WW! So how about I share.

I never buy prepackaged foods. I have not in years. It really is NOT
cheaper often to eat fresh produce a lot. A meal for hte family of tuna,
egg noodle and cream of mushroom soup is CHEAP. Be that as it may, I am a
very frugal grocery shopper. I freezer cook when things are on sale. I
have a choice of 2 grocery stores and a warehouse store that I can get
bargains from within an easy driving radios. ($!.66 for boneless chicken
breast!)

We are a single income family of 4. I home school the kids. My husband has
a good but modest job. As a result of some uforseen bills, dental that
was not covered, auto repairs... we are behind on about every bill you can
dream of. I am hesitant to cancel my gym membereship (our one ...
extravagance) because I know I will not work out at home.

I am not overweigth. There is no particular risk of angioplasti here. I am
a 40yo, 5'8" woman at 145. I excercise pretty hard 3-5 days per week.

I am returning to WW way of doing things having slowly stopped eating
proeprly. I have a very small amount of weight to lose, but if healthy
eating is a lifestlyle and not a yo-yo diet, then I need to recalibrate
myself and get back in the right mindset.

So... I am not criticizing anyone who does wish to pay for WW. I think
that is great. When I first started, that is what I did as well. It worked
great for me. If you do not wish to share what could be considered
proprietary information, I completely respect you in that choice.

I am not trying to be critical or get up in anyone's face. Just thouguth I
woudl attempt to respond as politely as I could! (Which is hard for me
since I have a mouth on me!)
