Weight Watchers Live Facebook Chat #40:  Two people are better than one…we ARE Better Together!  Sit back and relax while you watch, everything is typed up here for you to print, share and most importantly USE!

(Disclaimer:  I am not a professionally trained WW Leader nor am I employed or currently paid by Weight Watchers or Weight Watchers International.  I’m just another lover and believer in this program and want to give and get support along this journey.  Any mention of the terms Smart Points, Beyond the Scale, or Weight Watchers are copyright Weight Watchers International and subject to their copyright terms.  This is a LIVE chat format so I will be interacting with the viewers who make it live on Sunday night.  If you were not able to join us on Sunday maybe next time!)

  • Thanks for watching and please remember to Like, Share, Comment and especially Subscribe so I can do more helpful Weight Watchers videos! These are the transcriptions from tonight’s chat about my Nutritional Yeast! with Smart Points listed.  As always these are available on Facebook, YouTube and on my blog ifyouhaveanegg.com
  • First things first, these are LIVE video chats when they are recorded so yes, I talk to people when they ask questions!
  • Please remember to Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe on Facebook and YouTube so I can keep making more of these Chats and easy recipe videos!
  • Remember, my other chats are available on ifyouhaveanegg.com or on YouTube search IFYOUHAVEANEGG
  • Thank you for all your ideas for future chats!!!

(if you attend a physical meeting be sure and always pick up your Weekly!  If you miss a week ask your leader for the copy from the previous week, they have valuable information, yummy recipes and usually coupons!!!  If you are online only the Weekly is in digital form via your e-newsletter or when you log in under Weekly Topic (weightwatchers.com/weeklytopic)”

Two people are better than one…we ARE Better Together! 

If you attend meetings you should receive a Weekly, please be sure and take one!  If you miss a meeting, your leader should have extras from at least the week prior and maybe farther back.  If you are online only you can find out the weekly meeting topic in your e-newsletter or when you log in look for the Weekly Topic.

*****This is Chat #40!  Can you believe it?  Maybe we should do a giveaway at Chat #50, what do you think?****

*Last week we talked about Blue Dots!  Be sure and check last week’s chat for details*

This week we discussed Make You Meetings Matter (Two people are better than on…we ARE Better Together!)

(I forgot to mention, NEW MEMBERS – if you attend four of your first five meetings you earn a 4-week award!  AND once you have attended 16 meetings you will earn a 16-week award!)

*Ecclesiastes 4:9 says “Two people are better than one, because they get more done by working together”.  Why do you think that is?

*Turn away from the monitor/phone/tablet and with your right hand smack the air in front of you.  Now (still turned from the monitor/phone/tablet) put your arms straight out in front of you and then pull them in towards you. 

*Meetings…why are they so important?  Why do you go?
-weigh in
-accountability
-celebrate
-get new ideas
-social event
-just to get away from hubby, kids, work
-“me time”
-help someone else
-be a support system for someone else
-show someone else that this really does work
-be an “Oak Tree”

*Meetings…what makes you not attend?
-trip
-hectic schedule
-your accountabilibuddy isn’t going to be there
-had a “bad week”
-don’t want to face the scale
-don’t like the leader
-tired of seeing everyone else’s victory while you “turtle”

*What if you live in the mountains of Turkey and can’t attend a meeting?  We have a new member over in the group who does!
-our LIVE CHATS!
-find one other Weight Watcher (or more) and plan a time to meet and go over the weekly
-hundreds if not thousands of social media support groups like the If You Have an Egg Group!

*Change:  I attend Only if to I attend EVEN IF!
-I attend only if My Accountabilibuddy is coming instead:  I attend my meeting EVEN IF my accountabilibuddy isn’t there because I can talk to others!
I want you to make a little list of things that you will attend your meeting (even if it’s our meeting here on the chat) EVEN IF!

***Remember there is not chat next week…we will be at DISNEY!!***

 

 

Where else can you find The Egg?

  • YouTube – you can go to the chats always on YouTube! The cover photo for YouTube looks just like the Page because it is also public.  You can search IFYOUHAVEANEGG and it should pull up all the WW If You Have an Egg Chats and the first one should be the Playlist of all the videos to date.  If you click on Playlist you can watch them all in order and binge watch The Egg hahaha.  If you have a YouTube account you can subscribe, make your own playlists, etc.  If you are watching as a guest you can still watch all you want, you just can’t like, share, comment and save on a playlist.  I really really appreciate when you Like, Share, Comment and Subscribe!!
  • The Blog – ifyouhaveanegg.com this is where I journal all my recipes, the chats, the transcripts for the chats, details of new things, etc. It always has the three most current at the top.  There is a Click Here for More New Recipes and you can search by category.  If there are links to other recipes from within the post it will take you straight there.  My Story is found herehttp://www.ifyouhaveanegg.com/?page_id=9   I have been a WW for 24+ years and got to goal in 2014, Lifetime for going on three years and counting!  If you scroll over the pictures you can save these recipes and meal ideas to your Yummly Box, Pinterest, Twitter, you can Print, share on Facebook, etc

  • Instagram find me at @ifyouhaveanegg

  • Last but not least, my App! Yes I do charge for the app.  I have invested over $1,500 in development and there are monthly fees not to mention the time to keep it all updated.  But the $2.99 is ONE TIME.  You get all the Egg benefits for on low price and never pay again.  Available for Android and Apple.  If you are on an iPad though you have to switch it to “iPhone only” for some bizarre reason.  You only buy once on Apple for both devices.  Use the three lines in the upper left corner to bring down the menu to find the chats on YouTube, New Recipes, 7 Day Meal Plans, Shopping Guides (Trader Joe’s, Aldi, Whole Foods, National Brands, Girl Scout Cookies, Halloween Candy, Costco)
  • Additional Resources: whether you are doing WW Online, attending meetings, or just gleaning what you can from us you have resources!  Use the recipes and meal ideas in your weekly from the meeting.  Search hashtags like #weightwatchers on social media to get some great ideas.  If you are using ETools you can scan, track, keep up with favorite foods and ideas.  Or if you like pen and paper grab a paper track every week.  My daughter Kc likes to journal and they are so much fun with pretty markers and *squeal* stickers!  Resources from moi:
    • I use index cards to keep a written record that I can touch, see, carry with me and then sort by Smart Points Value. If it’s a real I post it in a printable version on the blog:  ifyouhaveanegg.com  I can also sort these and know what my points are going to be for the day.  Bu-bam…7 sets of cards = 7 days = you guessed it…home base for me
