Default Welcome Notice and FAQ - 8th Feb 2004

Welcome to alt.support.diet.weigh****chers newsgroup, an international
forum for discussion and support for members of Weight Watchers or
those who are following the Weight Watchers Winning Points program.
You do not need to be a member of Weight Watchers to participate in
ASDWW, though you will find the discussions easier to follow if you
are familiar with the Winning Points and FlexPoints programs.

The purpose of this message is to point new readers to sources of
additional information.

========
MINI FAQ
========
Q: I see lots of acronyms in the subject lines of posts. What do they all
mean?
A: NSV = Non-Scale Victory, those successes not measured by the scale.
People noticing your weight loss, smaller clothing sizes, practicing a new
behavior, recognizing a new habit are examples of NSVs.

WOE = Way of Eating
WOL = Way of Life (Living)
