Newsletter, week of August 2nd

Last Week

Lose your weight FOREVER. Think about eating and moving in a sustainable way. This is a lifestyle, not a temporary solution.

This Week

FOOD SWAP! Virtually, not really. But bring in labels, containers, or at the very least specific details about your favorite foods. If you're in a food rut, this is not to be missed.

Week 4 of the Fruits and Veggies challenge - get 5 servings of fruits & vegetables a day - AKA our Good Health Guideline. For advanced members, try getting ALL the guidelines met this week.

WW Product of the Week

Since we're talking food, let's highlight all of the WW food products. Whether it's a snack (check out our bars or baked snacks), a breakfast (check out our smoothies and our oatmeal), a dinner (remember our sides?) or even something to chew on (think Fruities and Cappuccino Melts) there is something for everyone. Portioned out, Points values figured, what more could you want?

Weekly Potpourri

I'm going to do something a little different this week. A conversation about sodium got me curious, and I'm going to hold off putting anything in here in favor of a longer, separate entry. Look for that maybe by the end of today - my "real job" beckons for now....

What's Hot at WW.com?

There's never enough time in a 30 minute meeting to really discuss everything. So in honor of last week's topic, this is a fantastic article that really fleshes out why looking at this process as a permanent lifestyle change is the way to go. It also busts some myths that might be keeping you in that diet mindset.
