Newsletter, week of December 6th

Last Week

If you're in a food rut, how do you expect to have the fortitude to turn down all those holiday goodies? Look to all the sources we discussed, and find something new to eat!

This Week

This week we'll discuss managing stress. But in addition to that, everyone that attends a meeting this week will get two things: a new, STURDIER version of our Pocket Guide, and an issue of Weight Watchers Weekly, which is a new publication we'll be giving out each week as a take-home to reinforce that week's meeting topic. Be there!

Kudos

Wendy received her first five pound star, Lena reached 10 pounds lost, and Estella has now lost over 20 pounds! Catching up from the meeting I missed last Wednesday, I want to give a shout-out to Jill, who is our newest Lifetime member. I feel like we've had a rash of folks hitting goal and finishing maintenance in the past month or two. Great work!

WW Product of the Week

Along with the new handouts, we're revamping our member kits. That means updated versions of our journals and companions, and now it comes in a nifty new carrying case! If you never invested in this tool before, it's pretty much your encyclopedia for Weight Watchers. Give them a look this week.

Weekly Potpourri

Because it apparently only happens once a year, I wanted to give you all a heads up: the Mission Valley YMCA is running a No Joiners Fee special next week on Tuesday and Thursday (December 8 and 10). Joining this YMCA gives you access to Toby Wells, Mission Valley (on Friars), Hazard Center, and Downtown facilities. Why am I sharing this with you? Well, I'll be popping in to join up myself! This will save you on the order of a hundred bucks, and if you join now, gives you a leg up on the New Years Resolution crowd. Won't you join me?

What's Hot at WW.com?

I try to give equal time to all the holidays that pop up this time of year, but I know most information out there tends to be Christmas specific. If that's not your bag, but Hanukkah is, they've got you covered with a bunch of tasty recipes. Rugelach! How can you not like that?

Quote of the Week

To think that you are not going to fail is an illusion. Fail faster, you will only be closer to what you want. - Unknown
