Last Week

Hitting plateaus is pretty common. Overcoming them sets you apart from the rest. Use the tips we shared and you'll be able to stay on track.

This Week

Building on last week's topic, we'll talk about some of the mental aspects of getting back on track.

Kudos

Michele got her first 5 pound star, Doni reached 15 pounds lost, and Candy has now lost 70.0 pounds! (yes, that's an exact amount - =p )

WW Product of the Week

We've received our new fall products, and among them you'll find the cookbook I mentioned in this week's recipe post, red velvet 1 Point mini bars, pizza flavored pretzels, and our fall smoothie - white chocolate peppermint. I just had the smoothie for breakfast, and it's really good! I typically enjoy the fall seasonal flavors since they mimic fancy coffee drinks. Check them out!

Weekly Potpourri

Some of you know that Amber and Dan from our Wednesday group are training for the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. This is their second year participating, and they are co-captaining their team. If you're a fan of cancer research, please consider visiting their team page and making a donation. Or be even crazier, and sign up for it yourself! If the pocketbook won't allow, just contemplate...walking 60 miles in 3 days. Pretty good, huh?
