The Weight-Loss Skill:

Successfully navigating the grocery store.
The Challenge:

The supermarket can be a minefield of potential pitfalls for us: aisle after aisle of tempting foods and beverages, hard-to-resist marketing gimmicks such as samples of new products, eye-catching displays, buy-in-bulk bargains, and candy placed strategically at the checkout lane.
The Points Plus Solution:

In today’s meeting, we will create a game plan, learn how to take advantage of Weight Watchers® resources, and explore ways to use the Lose For Good Campaign® as a source of extra inspiration to shop smart and lose weight this month.

The Weight-Loss Skill:

Learning how to bust a plateau and get weight loss back on track

The Challenge:

We get frustrated when our weight loss stalls, especially if we believe we’ve been doing everything right. What’s worse, we have no idea how to improve, because, again, we believe we’re doing everything right. This frustration can lead us to feel hopeless and give up.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will be reminded of the many steps we can take to jump-start our weight loss.

Exploring ways to make meatless meals that satisfy

The Challenge:

For many of us, vegetables are served on the side as an afterthought. When asked to devise a meatless meal, many of us might not know where to begin.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will learn the weight-control benefits of incorporating more plant-based foods into our diets. Through brainstorming, we will discover that there are many ways to prepare tasty, filling meat-free or nearly meatless meals and find the resources we can use to learn more.

The Weight-Loss Skill: 

Using PointsPlus and the USDA's MyPlate as a guide to making healthy food, activity and behavior decisions.

The Points Plus Solution:

In today’s meeting, WE will identify the key elements of a healthy day. We will explore the ways in which the federal government’s dietary guidelines, along with the Weight Watchers ® Good Health Guidelines, Weight Watchers Power Foods, and the KickStart Guide, can play a role in creating a healthy day. We’ll also share our best tips for striking a healthy balance in our daily menus.

The Weight-Loss Skill:

Snacking to fuel your body and stay in control of your hunger

The Challenge:

"Summer time, and the living is easy..." or is it? The lack of structure that often comes with that easy living can throw off members’ weight-loss efforts. Members may find that the laid-back vibe of the season leads to more snacking and mini-meals, which can easily lead to overeating.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, members will learn that snacking—the smart kind—can actually boost weight-loss efforts rather than hinder them. Members will explore how snacking can help them manage hunger and stay satisfied, keeping them in control of their eating. Members will share favorite snacks to generate new ideas for staying satisfied between meals.
