I have taken over from Kristin as the official welcomer. There are a lot of new faces around, so I
think it's worthwhile to post the full welcome notice.
If anyone has any more info that they'd like to see in the notice, or have any new links, I'd be
more than happy to hear about them. I have corrected the link to the points calculator already
So, without further ado, here it is!
Welcome to alt.support.diet.weightwatchers 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 Weight Watchers Points program
appropriate for your country (FlexPoints, Winning Points, Time for Success, and so on!).
The purpose of this message is to point new readers to sources of additional information.

Q: I see lots of acronyms in the subject lines of posts. What do they all mean?
R: 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)
