The Weight-Loss Skill:

Getting—and staying—in touch with your motivational toolbox.

The Challenge:

We occasionally get bogged down by the process of losing weight and lose sight of our original motivation. We may feel cheated or shortchanged and forget—or discount—the benefits of weight loss. Overlooking those benefits can rob us of the motivation to keep going.
The Points Plus Solution:

In today’s meeting, we will learn to tap into our own personal motivational toolbox. We’ll be reminded that all along the weight-loss journey, we have been achieving small successes. Seizing opportunities to acknowledge and celebrate those successes can help us get back in touch with—and stay in touch with—what motivates us to achieve our bigger goals.

The Weight-Loss Skill:

Finding--and making--the time to eat right and move more

The Challenge:

If we only had time... We may think we don’t have time in our hectic schedules to devote to weight-loss efforts and to make our needs a priority. Some of us may believe that tending to our own needs is selfish. Whatever the reason, those of us who don’t make time to follow the Program will likely not be as successful as we could be and can easily end up frustrated.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will examine our daily routines to find hidden pockets of time in which we could be eating right and moving more. We will also discuss ways to streamline meal planning and exercise so that they’ll fit more easily into even the most hectic schedules.

One Magical Week

Why a Monthly Pass?

*Unlimited meetings each month
*Free eTools, including Weight Watchers® Mobile
*Automatic monthly renewal

As always...guests can Check Out A Meeting For Free! Bring your spouse, friends, neighbors and colleagues to a meeting...DON'T LET THE CLOTHES THAT ARE TIGHT ON YOU NOW BE THE CLOTHES YOU *WISH* YOU FIT INTO LATER!!


The Weight-Loss Skill:

Following PointsPlus 100% to see real results.

The Challenge:

We struggle to follow the Program to a “T” on a consistent basis. Some of us stick to our daily PointsPlus target Monday through Thursday, only to fall back into old habits by happy hour on Friday. Others may cherry-pick aspects of the Program that best suit our lifestyle and ignore the rest. Ultimately, many of us don’t follow the Program closely enough to see the results that would likely motivate us to stay on track.
The Points Plus Solution: 
 
In this meeting, we will zero in on what it means to follow the Program100 percent. We will identify the aspects of the Program to which we, personally, need to pay greater attention. Realizing that success on the Program hinges on incorporating all of its components will prompt us to determine what has been missing.

The Weight-Loss Skill:



Recharging weight-loss efforts by refreshing knowledge of PointsPlus and drawing inspiration from the Lose For Good Campaign.

The Challenge:



Summer can bring a more relaxed following of the Program, derailing our healthy eating habits, activity, and weight-loss progress. What’s more, some of us are still hazy on the details of the PointsPlus® plan and are struggling to make it work.

The Points Plus Solution:



In this meeting, we help members restart their weight-loss engines. By reviewing the basics of PointsPlus, members will be reminded of the importance of the four main components of the plan so that they can effectively refocus and reengage. The Lose For Good® campaign, which runs through October 15, can provide extra incentive to get back on track.
