Newsletter, week of October 12th

Last Week

Soup can be a tasty part of your weight loss plan. Don't forget that Garden Vegetable Soup on page 63!

Also: don't forget to finalize your year-end goal plans. Get it worked out and you'll be sitting pretty for 2009.

This Week

Explore. Dream. Discover. In honor of Columbus Day, we'll talk about your quests for your weight goals - with the right plans, you'll do better than old Christopher and actually get where you intend to go!

Loose For Good - This will be the final week of the campaign. Once we tally up the results from the week's weigh-in, we'll see how far we got. Don't forget to bring in food for the food drive, if you want to participate.

Weekly Potpourri

Well, Halloween is almost upon us, and I confess that I am a fan of candy corn. I try not to eat too much of it, but sometimes I can get my fix without the calories. Check out this Candy Corn Contest going on at Flickr. There are some really creative projects that pay homage to the beloved Halloween confection.

What's Hot at WW.com

We often have groups of family or friends that come in to meetings together. Sometimes friendly competition crops up, but hey wait - why do the guys usually lose faster than the gals?!? Our Science Center explains what's behind the physical side of the battle between the sexes. But remember this: the greatest predictor of your success is your adherence to the program. That's true if you're a man or a woman!
