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.


Nice! I better go get my angeoplasti!

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!)
