Newsletter, week of September 27th

Last Week

One of the best ways to make sure you succeed is to set some goals. What goal did you set for yourself this week?

This Week

It's common to mistake emotional hunger for physical hunger. This is one of our heavier topics, but for many of us, managing this issue is key to conquering our weight issues.

This was a big week! We celebrated Linda's 5% achievement, and gave Trista a 45 pound star. Trina received her 50 pound star AND reached her goal weight. And Rosemary became a Lifetime member! I think these gals knew all about setting goals, don't you?

WW Product of the Week

Weight Watchers Walking Kit - one way to handle emotional eating is to distract yourself. What better way to do that than by burning calories instead of eating them? This kit will help you develop a walking plan, or give you an interesting twist to your existing routine.

Okay, so Lose For Good is clicking right along, and some of you know that our very own Fern is responsible for working with the charity that is receiving food donated to our Clairemont center. Well, the bins were full, so we snapped a photo before they came to pick it up. 451.5 pounds of food so far! Thanks for all your donations, and remember, you have until October 17th if you'd still like to participate.



Incidentally, that's a photo posted on my Weight Watchers Facebook profile. Yes, I know, that's probably overkill. But if you want to add me, click on the badge to the right side of my main blog page, or look for "Leader Steph", or use my zerneeak email address. Also know that you'll probably easily find my personal profile, but if you're looking for weight-centric stuff, my first name is Leader. Ha!

Quote of the Week

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible. - Richard M. DeVos
