Weight Watchers® is committed to providing us with a healthy weight-loss program. This means providing a plan that helps us achieve the recommended rate of weight loss while ensuring that our nutritional needs are met.
The Points Plus Solution:

When developing and testing PointsPlus®, Weight Watchers set the lowest daily PointsPlus Target (DPT) at 29 to ensure that we would meet the required nutrient recommendations. Now, with a wealth of data on how our we are eating with PointsPlus, Weight Watchers feels comfortable that a DPT of 26 will allow us to meet our nutritional needs while losing weight.

The Weight-Loss Skill:
Managing stress during the holiday season to stay in control and on track
The Challenge:
Holidays can be an especially stressful time for people trying to lose weight. Some of us fall into the trap of emotional eating, turning to food to help us deal with the stress. Others of us focus so intently on managing food challenges that we neglect to create a plan for dealing with relatives, friends, and co-workers, and the unhelpful comments they might make.
The Points Plus Solution:
In this meeting, we will explore our top holiday stressors and discuss strategies for reducing that stress, including responding to unhelpful comments. We will examine how the Weight Watchers Tools For Living (Mental Rehearsing, Reframing, Empowering Beliefs) and Helpful Habits (Take Care of Yourself, Ask for Help, Manage Your Thoughts, and Manage Your Feelings) can help.

The Weight-Loss Skill:

Using PointsPlus strategies to make great choices during Thanksgiving

The Challenge:
We struggle with the thought of staying on plan during the holidays.  Thanksgiving seems especially difficult, since the holiday literally revolves around food.
The Points Plus Solution:
In this meeting, we will determine our weight-related objectives for the holiday and create a game plan for achieving them. Success may mean weight loss for some, maintenance or even a small gain for others. Identifying accurate portion sizes and the corresponding  PointsPlus® values of our holiday favorites will help us prioritize what we really want to eat on the big day.

Using television time to support good health
The Challenge:
Most people watch television. The combination of consuming extra calories and inactivity that often accompanies television time can be detrimental to weight-loss and maintenance efforts.
The Points Plus Solution:
In this meeting, we will take a hard look at our prime-time habits and explore ways to make them more weight-loss friendly. The first step is to brainstorm healthy, satisfying snack ideas. The second step is to identify hobbies that could keep hands busy and find ways to incorporate activity into viewing time.
