Roundup, week of February 27th

What Happened Last Week?

Portion control is a major factor in successful weight loss. Don't let portion creep or portion distortion ruin your progress. If you haven't done so lately, you may want to re-weigh or re-measure what you're eating to be sure you're doing what you think you are!

Weight loss celebrations this week include a five pound star for Jenn, a 10 pound star for Althea, 15 pound stars for Beverly, Karla and Tricia, a 25 pound award for Cherie, a 30 pound award for Virginia, and a 50 pound award for Susie. We also gave 5% awards to Althea, Karla, Teri, Chris and Leilah.

So What's Coming Up?

There is a great week on tap in my Weight Watchers meetings! Our topic will address boredom - whether it's in your food choices or your activity choices. We'll discuss strategies to keep things mixed up and exciting.

SUNDAY - remember that we will be holding an eTools demonstration this week! We'll start the demo right after the meeting ends at noon. It should last approximately 45 minutes, and we'll probably have some giveaways. Friends and non-members are welcome, and if you're not usually a Sunday member but want to come check it out, you are absolutely welcome to stop on by.

WEDNESDAY - don't forget to bring a recipe with you for our recipe swap! Ground rules are that whatever recipe you share needs to include either the nutrition information or the PointsPlus value. You don't need to bring copies for everyone, but at least bring a copy that I can take with me to post here on the blog. Be ready to tell us about the recipe, where you got it, tips for preparation, etc.

MONDAY - I don't actually have a special event scheduled for you this week, but I didn't want you to feel left out. If you're reading this and you haven't shown up in awhile, why not? If you need extra special help, drop me a line here, in email, at Facebook, or come on in and we'll give you some TLC.

Thought for the Week

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage "coaches" ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory. ~ Herbert Kaufman
