The new Weight Watcher plan........

Are you as excited as I am? I bet you are. My question today is how is knowing that the new plan is coming out...just around the corner~~ is it going to inspire you to stay on track during the holidays? I think it will be tricky at first, but change is good. We that have been members for a while, could use a ......new idea or two!! I have been on numerous plans of weight watchers over the years. I must say every new plan they come out with is the "best" because science has moved on....It WILL take a little bit to get used to . Soon though, you & I will be fine. I must say I'm nervous. I have invested a lot in myself to see it go out the window....BREATHE Ellen...... BREATHE....Ahhh. We can do this....

Anyway, I think it will be all new & fun so we WILL be on track for the holidays. Tell yourself a little pep talk!
