Roundup, week of March 7th

What Happened Last Week

BO-RING is a dangerous proposition. Use the internet, your WW friends, and whatever else you can think of to keep your food and activity choices interesting. It's much easier to stick with it that way!

This week was an outstanding week for celebrations. We gave 5 pound stars to Mark and Sheila, a 10 pound star to Carolyn, and a 25 pound star for a different Carolyn. Mark (yet another one) got both his 10% award and a 25 pound star. Tauni and Margarita both got their 5% awards on Monday night. And last, but definitely not least, CANDY IS AT GOAL! Woo hoo!

So What's Coming Up?

We've spent the first 9 weeks of the year looking at some really important weight loss skills. We're going to review what those were, and go through the final one - celebrating. It's important to celebrate and reward our accomplishments, so we'll make sure to do that with you this week.

Interesting Link

I bang the drum on exercise a lot, because I really think it's vital for most of us to get the weight off, and to keep it off long-term. I found this New York Times article yesterday, and thought I'd pass it along. Just another source saying "hey, exercise is good for a lot of things!" You know, just in case you don't believe me.

Thought for the Week

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all. - Norman Vincent Peale
