Newsletter, week of May 17th

Last Week

Revving up your metabolism can rev up your weight loss. Don't look at your metabolism as the enemy, you really can impact how it works!

This Week

Memorial Day is almost here, and that officially kicks off the summer. We'll help you stay on track for BBQs and any other food-centric event this season.

Kudos

Nelli received her first 5 pound star, Connie reached 15 pounds lost, Steve got his 20 pound star, and Myra has now lost 35 pounds. Candy reached 55 pounds lost, and Dan and Steve (a different one!) both have now lost over 65 pounds. We also awarded several 16 week Stay and Succeed Charms: Irma, Myra, Rocio and Annita. Congratulations to all.

WW Product of the Week

Check out our newest cookbook Hit the Spot. It specializes in chewy, crunchy, spicy stuff, which might just be the ticket for your holiday weekend feasting. In some of our locations we still have copies of Sizzle It! which will help you become a grillmaster. It's the cookbook I used for this week's recipe, too.

Weekly Potpourri

Team Outsmart The Fat members probably already know about this website, but if you're looking to boost your metabolism, consider entering a run/walk event. RacePlace is a website (and magazine) that consolidates the information so you can flip through and pick your event. There are plenty to choose from all over the county!

I mentioned our Science Center in both meetings this week, in reference to the Starvation Myth. Let me make it real easy for you. Here it is!
