Last Week

Find out why you're turning to food when you're not hungry, and you've taken the first step to not doing it again. What could you do instead that would give you the same positive feeling but not the negative calorie result?

This Week

You join WW, you find some low Point foods, you eat them. And you eat them again. And again. Bored yet? We'll talk about ways to keep from getting bored with your routine so you keep wanting to be in it!

Kudos

Erika, Estella and Julie all got their first 5 pound stars, Cathy reached 10 pounds lost, and Lurenette got her 5% star. And Heidi reached a wonderful milestone - 110 pounds lost!

WW Product of the Week

We try to help you fight boredom by rotating the flavors of our snacks that we sell in the meeting room. Have you tried the pizza pretzels yet? How about the red velvet bar? My favorite still, and will always be, Peanut Butter Bliss. Oh yes. I don't think I'll ever get bored with that one.

What's Hot at WW.com?

I love to cook, but maybe some of you don't. Or you just don't have the time. Don't forget your microwave! You'll find some time-saving ideas...so there's no excuse!
