Newsletter, week of May 3rd

Last Week

We explored the various types of carbohydrates, and some of the myths surrounding them. Remember if you're focusing on the Filling Foods list, you're definitely getting the right kind of carbs!

This Week

Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts. And sometimes those thoughts can be negative, and we don't even realize it. We'll talk about how to focus on the positive this week.

Kudos

Karen, Tina and Maria survived their first week on Weight Watchers, and received their Star Catchers. Dawna got a 30 pound star to put on hers, and Andrea and Alicia received their 16-week Stay and Succeed charms. Connie reached her 5% target and is now focused on her next goal!

Quote of the Week

The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That's all you have to do. Change is not something you do, it's something you allow. - Will Garcia
