Kudos

This week was awesome. We had three 10% celebrations: Alexandria, Alma and Juanita (who was dancing in the aisles)! I gave five pound stars to all of the following:

Christa - 5 pounds
Alexandria - 10 pounds
Dan - 10 pounds
Trina - 35 pounds
Candy - 45 pounds
Myrna - 45 pounds
Steve - 60 pounds
Heidi - 90 pounds

This is absolutely fantastic. You all continue to inspire me with your progress.

WW Product of the Week

If we're talking about self-monitoring, what better tools to feature than the Points Clicker and the 3 Month Journal. Both can help you keep track, but involve very different levels of effort. There's something for everyone!

Weekly Potpourri

I'm going to use this space once again to promote our new Momentum Walk-It Challenge. If you signed up for Team Outsmart the Fat this week, make sure you log on to Team Weight Watchers to sign up and download your walking or running plan. And while I do have a thread in the community section of that site, I've just created my own Outsmart the Fat Message Forum. Please surf on over and start discussing how our team will work. Do you need a workout partner? Interested in finding out what 5K events are coming up locally? Let's start talking!
