I rang them up to find out about joining up (as I need to) and they told me I don't need to get a medical cert for the lactating programme!!! I'm stocked just saved me $20, but now i'm not sure what to do, the lady on the phone said that the first meeting free coupon finishes on Saturday and that there will be a new deal starting on Monday, I dont know whether to wait for that (as it may be a great deal) or do the first meeting free deal and register now. I'm going to the meeting on Tuesday as I know someone goes to that meeting. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

i'd be tempted to wait....the new deal may be 'join free' which is more than the first meeting fee. but you just don't know......
have you been to their website? it may have something on there about a new deal ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Becks, I used to work for WW and I would wait if I was you. It is a much better deal to get the joining fee for free and pay for the first meeting which is quite likely what this new special will be. They tend to alternate between the two.
The meeting fee is around $17 where as joining fee is $30 odd. Check out the website early next week for the new deals, they usually have a voucher/coupon you can print off and take with you.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yay Becks! Can't wait to see you there. I got a few dirty looks from new members yesterday as Andy wouldn't stop chatting = RUDE! Power in numbers I reckon! I'll have to poke Josh so he makes some noise too
I hope the new deal is a 'join free' one and not just a lameo cookbook ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I don't know how I am going to be able to eat all tose points. I struggled with 22 just before my wedding in Jan 2006. DH has told me that if I prepare his lunch and breakfast he will eat the same as me (but a few less points). ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Thats so cool that your parents are going to pay for you Becks. You'll have more money to spend on nappies then
I have trouble getting in all my points. I find that it's the weeks when I don't eat them all that I don't loose any weight. So the following weeks I'll gobble them all and loose lots! Who would've thought that I'd ever have a problem eating enough! lol I have cut 2 points since Andy started solids as he now doesn't BF as much and I was having a few weeks where I lost nothing. I don't think I'll ever be able to stop BF as it would be so hard to go back to a 'normal' amount of points! Look forward to seeing you there Becks and Lizzie. I am always late these days  but I'll try and get there earlier next week so we can have a chat before the meeting starts. Judith (leader) is just so lovely. I'd like to adopt her as my Mummy!
Yay for WW. I'm so addicted!! have now lost 35.5kg  ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
