Newsletter, week of June 22nd

Last Week

Losing weight is almost like a road trip. Make sure you have your map so you know where you're headed! And sometimes the scenic route is the way to go.

This Week

Learning to eat less is hard. No doubt about it. This week we'll share tips on how to do it without feeling deprived.

I'm sure we had plenty to celebrate on Monday, so I apologize for leaving those folks out this week. But today is all about Kay, because she reached her 10% target on Wednesday morning!

WW Product of the Week

Check out our smoothies! They are still on sale through June 28th for $5 a box (regularly priced at $7.50). These are a great way to satisfy your dairy servings without spending too many Points. Now that great summer fruit is starting to show up, try experimenting with throwing some fruit into your blender with them.

Weekly Potpourri

I'm back! Many of you know that I was on vacation last week in New York City. I wore my pedometer in the interest of science, and check out these numbers:

Day 1: 30,838 steps
Day 2: 21,443 steps
Day 3: 20,759 steps
Day 4: 14, 174 steps

I only wore the pedometer on full days in NYC, so there are probably more steps I took on arrival and departure, but wow. To give you a sense of perspective, on a typical weekday I'm lucky to get in 5,000 steps. It's definitely a different lifestyle there! Now don't ask me about what I ate....
