This Week’s Topic

New health information comes out all the time, and it’s hard to know what to pay attention to. We’ll talk about how to get good nutrition and why it’s important.

KUDOS: (from the Greek: acclaim or prestige resulting from notable achievement)

Janet is so close to her goal weight. She has only 3 pounds to go before she can begin the maintenance program. Let’s give her a hand.

Rose passed her 25lb. mark on Monday and we couldn’t be happier. Three cheers for Rose!!!

Tip of the week

Cutting out calories and fat from your recipes can help cut Points and allow you to enjoy the foods you’re used to. Try substituting applesauce for oil, fat-free plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and ground turkey instead of ground beef. Depending on what you’re making, you’ll cut fat and calories, but not sacrifice on taste.

Quote of the week

Don’t think of “losing” weight. You “lose” something carelessly. You “remove” something deliberately, with great care because it is no longer desirable and you wish to be free of it permanently. Choose your words with care – they affect your attitude and belief system.
