Newsletter, week of January 18th

Last Week

Staying on program is a balancing act. Remember that your Weekly Points Allowance and Activity Points can help you be more flexible and have foods you enjoy. But be sure you're focusing on basic good nutrition (and those Good Health Guidelines) when you're spending your Daily Points Target!

This Week

Hunger - every dieter's nightmare! We'll talk about how to identify it and how to manage it, whether it's physical OR mental.

Kudos

Kendria and Myra reached their first 5 pounds lost, Jessica has now lost 10 pounds, and Tessa got her 16 week charm. Dawna reached her 10% target! Velma has now lost over 35 pounds, and last but definitely not least, Heidi reached 76 pounds lost. Way to go everyone!

WW Product of the Week

Need a quick side dish? Check out our Zesty Spanish Rice, our Chicken Herb Noodles, and our Tomato Parmesan Pasta. Need a quick snack? Try our new Multi-Grain Crisps! All these products can help you manage your hunger without spending a ton of Points.

Weekly Potpourri

As you well know, we recommend 2 servings of dairy a day. (3 if you're a teen or over 50!) And many a Weight Watchers member eats yogurt - some of you have stumbled on to Greek varieties of yogurt, which are tangy and creamier than the typical American version. But you know it doesn't come cheap. The folks over at Chowhound have found a way to make it at home that's much much cheaper. Now, this probably isn't for the novice cook, and I can't believe I'm actually considering making my own yogurt, but maybe a kitchen challenge is just what I need!

What's Hot at WW.com

I know some of you like to spend some of your Points on...beverages. Well, that's okay, right? Weight Watchers even has a beer cheat sheet that will help you figure out how best to enjoy your frosty beverages but not break the Points bank. I'll have to see if they have a similar article on wine....
