You can stay in control. Use the internal and external tips we talked about, and you'll be in control and on your way.

This Week

Any large task can be accomplished one step at a time. We'll show you how to take that first step.

Kudos

Leondra got her first five pound star, Irma got her 10 pound star, Alma is now at 20 pounds lost, and Velma happily received her 45 pound star this week. Great job ladies!

WW Product of the Week

Check out our NEW Wild Berry Smoothies! This is our latest seasonal flavor, in addition to the standard chocolate and vanilla that's available year-round. I made my first one this morning, and I'm still trying to decide which berry taste is front and center. Make sure you try it before they're gone!

Weekly Potpourri

I had a special request on Monday night for Easter candy points. This list is by no means complete, and you should always check any labeling you might have (hint: that big bag of mini candy bars has the nutrition information on it, even though the tiny bars themselves don't!). But this will at least be a good start for some educated guessing:

What's Hot at WW.com?

I briefly mentioned this before, but Weight Watchers is going to be partnering up with Active Network to help you get moving or take that next step in your activity plan. The links I'm going to post currently are dead, but the Walk-It Challenge is supposed to be up and running on Sunday, April 12. Hopefully by then you can find the information here:

Walk-It Challenge

Team Weight Watchers

Once these sites are up and working, I'm going to be creating a team for any of you who are interested in joining the program and training for a 5K run or walk. You can bet if I can name it "Outsmart the Fat" I surely will!

Quote of the Week

Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything - whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out. - Tina Turner
