The Weight-Loss Skill:

Managing disruptions to your routine, particularly vacations

The Challenge:

When we take a vacation from work and routine, we often take a vacation from our weight-loss efforts as well. And once we veer off-track, it can be difficult for us to get back on plan. A weight gain after vacation can break our momentum, sap our motivation, and undermine our self-confidence. Some of us may even give up on our weight-loss goals altogether.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will discuss strategies for handling disruptions and interruptions to our routines, specifically vacations. We’ll learn the importance of staying connected to our weight-loss efforts while away from home and commit to doing one thing consistently each day that will help us feel in control and connected.

Honor Your Hunger

BRING A FRIEND!!  ...guests can Check Out A Meeting For Free! Bring your spouse, friends, neighbors and colleagues to a meeting...let's keep our membership numbers up!  Summer time is no time to slack off!!

The Weight-Loss Skill:

Using your body’s hunger and satisfaction cues to guide your eating

The Challenge:

There are many reasons why we tend to eat: Our bodies may need food; we may go by the clock, sitting down for meals on schedule whether our stomach is rumbling or not; or we may eat in response to emotions—not just sadness but also stress, boredom, anxiety, even happiness. But eating for one of the latter reasons can easily lead to overeating and can hinder weight-loss progress.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will learn how to listen more carefully for our body’s hunger signals, track them, and honor them. We’ll also explore ways to satisfy that hunger while staying within our daily PointsPlus Target.

What's on Your Plate? Estimate!

Did you know? Guests can Check Out A Meeting For Free! Bring your spouse, friends, neighbors and colleagues to a meeting...stay committed during the summer and have someone with you for the journey!

The Weight-Loss Skill:

Accurately and mindfully estimating PointsPlus® values for optimal weight-loss results

The Challenge:

One of the trickiest things about navigating parties and restaurants is accurately estimating the PointsPlus values of foods and beverages. This uncertainty can frustrate us and lead us into an uncomfortable gray area where we’re fudging PointsPlus values or not counting them at all.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will explore ways to feel comfortable making our best estimate when we’re unsure of the PointsPlus values of foods. In other words, we’ll learn the art of estimating mindfully. We’ll discuss how the portion-control skills we’re building every day on the Program can serve us well in such situations, along with how doing some prep work beforehand can make a big difference.

Did you know?  Guests can Check Out A Meeting For Free! Bring your spouse, friends, neighbors and colleagues to a meeting...let's keep our membership numbers up!
The Weight-Loss Skill:

Self-monitoring for optimal weight-loss results

The Challenge:

We often struggle with tracking our foods and PointsPlus® values consistently. But if we begin to track other things—our emotions, or events in our lives, for example—we may soon find the practice more enlightening and rewarding.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will gain a better understanding of how monitoring additional elements of our day can contribute to weight-loss progress—and make tracking more rewarding. When we record things like habits, feelings, nutrition, successes, and setbacks, we become aware of our particular strengths and opportunities for improvement.
