Roundup, week of December 19th

What Happened Last Week?

On Monday we had a really great Lifetime Member panel. Thanks to those of you who came and asked really interesting questions of Marianne, Trina and Candy. Remember that our Lifetime Members at goal are the expert resources you can turn to when you need some additional help.

This past week we returned a little more to business as usual instead of OMG POINTSPLUS for the week's topic. Your Weekly PointsPlus Allowance and Activity PointsPlus can be great ways to get additional flexibility as we head into the last few weeks of the year. If you usually try not to use them, consider what you've got coming up. It's not fun to keep saying "NO" to all those celebratory treats, and when you use those allowances, you don't have to!

Awards this week went to Jennifer (5 pounds), Rick, Sunny and Noreen (10 pounds) and to Maria for reaching her 10% target!

So What's Coming Up?

Another thing that can give you some holiday flexibility are the zero PointsPlus fruits and vegetables. They can be a great way to sneak in a snack before you hit the buffet, or a way to bulk up some low PointsPlus meals before you pop open the bottle of champagne. We'll discuss your favorites and your tips for getting the most out of these foods.

Thought for the Week

Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid only of standing still. - Chinese Proverb


Note: I won't be publishing an update or recipe link next week. Once I'm done with my meetings for the week, I'll be off for a few days to enjoy the holidays in a place that looks something like this:
