*MrsNJswimmer*
I've done WW three times - first time was before my wedding - I lost 50 pounds (!), next was after my second child, I lost about 20 pounds, and now I've lost 23 pounds. What I learned the second time around was a little "trick" - if you choose a very, very attainable lifetime goal (for instance, I chose the highest weight I can be for my height) - you get to lifetime faster, and then can go/weigh in for free after that. My personal goal is to lose 5 - 10 more pounds so I have a really good buffer from my lifetime goal.
You can set that goal any time with the meeting leader, though I know a lot of leaders will delay talking about a goal until you've been in the program a while. I think that they don't want people to hyper-focus on a goal weight that may seem really far away - so they tell you to concentrate on your 5% and 10% goals.
Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.

Re: *MrsNJswimmer*
ok thanks. I hit both the 10% and the 5% and I picked a 15% to work toward next. We have so many people in the at work program who are making lifetime that they are nearly out of a job here.
Did they give you that link, or did you find it on your own? Or did they suggest anything else to help you set that weight?
finally found it - the getting started book was all about the new program, but I never thought to look on the back of the weight tracker - that's where it is.
Thanks!
