Important LaaLoosh Update Regarding Changes to the Website!!!

Well that’s too bad! Thanks for all you have done and will have to do to fix it! Love your recipes!

This sucks. I just told everyone at my WW meeting yesterday about your site. I’m still glad I told them and hopefully WW won’t give you a deadline. I love-love-love your site. I hope you’ll still find a way to give us the point values. Yours is the only site I go to for WW recipes since I’m not a cook yet can still make what you post.

I too love your recipes. They’ve helped me where WW left off. Keep up the good work. God loves you every moment of every day. I look forward to your return — I’ve come to depend on you for variety and excitement in my food. M

I agree with Kelly! I JUST found this site and was SO looking forward to the convenience of the points listing and it won’t be near as helpful without points! I think calling them stars is a great idea!

I guess WW doesn’t realize that blogs like this are like free advertising to them! It was sites like that that really got be excited about WW and keeps me sticking to it! How sad that you’re going to have to go through so much work to undo what was practically a service for them.

I’m gonna keep on reading no matter how you have to change it up!

Thanks so much for all the great recipes. Sorry you will have to be wasting your time getting their name of the website. What a pain! But I’ll still be here no matter what points or “whatever” they are called!

You should just come up with some code words (easy so everyone can figure it out) that will basically mean the same thing. Be sneaky!! Love your site. Keep up the good work.

Sorry to hear WW is cracking down on you. Your site and recipes are so lovely – and not full of preservatives like the HG website, I’ve made quite a few of your recipes and they are delicious.

Looking forward to more recipes in the future, in whatever format you post them – thanks!

Don’t be discouraged. You’ve done a wonderful thing to encourage folks. Though I understand, it is sad that you have to give in to WW request. It’s the right thing to do. Yet for those of us on the weight watch journey, it is helpful to have others to share with. I’m much more willing to try a new food item or recipe when someone else has and tells me they enjoyed it. If WW is going to block out bloggers, wish they would add ratings and comments to the recipes on their websites. Hoping you can still post calories, fiber and fat where you have the information. Keep blogging and encouraging others. Like you, it is a life long journey.

Well, I agree with everyone else. Your web site has been a great help. I have shared your web site with several of my family members. I tried the chocolate chip cookies and they were the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think I could have stayed on my diet without them. Keep up the good work. We’ll all still be here waiting and watching. Thanks for all you do for the “skinny challenged” people of the world. :-)

That’s a shame, but to tell you the truth, I am not surprised. I have a weight loss blog also and have posted recipes that we have tried, but have been reluctant to publish a points value for them. My main thought was because the brand of products I might be using may have different values than another brand, but I was also a little worried about Weight Watchers coming after me….LOL. I hope you don’t have to remove the Points Calculator. I have it linked to my blog so that others can use it too. That would really be a bummer. I don’t always carry my calculator with me, but know that it is only a web page away. Keep up the work and don’t be discouraged. I think if you can post the total calorie count, fat count and fiber count for each recipe, we can take it from there to figure out the points. Good luck with everything and I think you are doing a terrific job!!

I too hope you can modify your points calculator but not remove it completely! It’s a life saver when I’m using a different brand of ingredient than what is called for in your recipe. I am always checking to see that the points are still the same and it’s so easy to use. Keep up all the good work. I can’t tell you how many people I have sent a link to your site to who were so grateful.

Please don’t give up; I just discovered your site 2 days ago and am thrilled with it! Stick with it.

I sent an Email to Weight Watchers expressing my disappointment in their absurd litigious behavior and I suggest you all do the same. This is a community with completely free advertising.

That is so crazy – Weight Watchers should be offering to PAY you to continue to support and advertise their system. I would like to write a letter to WW and explain that it is so much more fun and possible to continue WW when you can find all kinds of info on the web. The internet is here to stay, they can not really hold back the information flow so they should make the best of it and ENCOURAGE people like you who keep reminding of that WW is such a great program… So short sighted of them.

Add my voice to those of your other fans. I just lost 30 pounds by following the WW “at-home” program (the materials cost $99+), and have also purchased countless WW cookbooks and frozen foods. It’s hard to imagine that a site like yours would do anything other than add credibility and appeal to the WW brand. Oh well…keep me posted when you revise your recipes. I am a web designer and editor and would be happy to help at no charge, just to speed up the process. Good luck!

Boo. I like the stars idea previously posted. I love your site and as a WW member that is silly. No harm in changing the points to stars or how about pointers! How can they copywright a word like point?

You have a wonderful website and it is so nice during troubled times to still be able to keep up with eating healthy and losing weight. Is there anyway you can send your point calculator – this is really an amazing site and WW should be paying you!! Keep up the great work!!

I too am a life time weight watcher and nearly back to my goal for the third time in my life. This time I am more serious in controlling my weight for the rest of my life because of being diagnosed as a diabetic. Now I also have to be concerned about the amount of carbs in my recipes. I recently found your website and was thrilled to find such a helpful site in putting some extra flare (within the points range) into my menus and being able to go so easily to your website to gather this awesome information. I purchased the “Miracle (angel hair) Noodles” and was excited to see your low calorie garlic and tomatoes pasta recipe. Thank you! I hope something can be worked out and I look forward to your return.

I just found your site and very excited to see everyday recipes on it. Sorry to hear about WW coming in and asking you to change things. Just a thought, what if you did the points with the alphabet. A-0, B-1, C-2 etc…. I also think the idea of the stars would work. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the great posts.

I noticed that you are still using points values in your new posts and was wondering if you found a work around. You may want to look into how Hungry-girl uses points values. I guess they probably pay to be able to do that. I like the idea of using starts instead of points. I guess Weight Watchers fails to realize that sites like this help me stay motivated, so I stay on track and keep going to meetings and they keep getting my money. Oh, well.

Hi! I just found your site today and your issues with Weight Watchers. I work for a law firm and it doesn’t surprise me a bit – you’d be amazed at how greedy huge corporations get when they think they might be missing out on a nickel somewhere amongst their billions. But, as you said “it is what it is” and I’m THRILLED you’re not letting it stop you because you’ve helped me tremendously just in the past hour!

Thanks!
