Hello, Weight Watchers! Did you learn about some fun new ways to work activity in last week? We can “feel the burn” just as much from play as work, so we can be as creative as we want with Moving More!
WHAT’S UP DOC?
There are a few situations at Weight Watchers where we must have a note from your doctor. They are:
- If you are losing an average of more than two pounds per week after the first three weeks
- If you wish to set a weight goal higher or lower than the weight range listed in Welcome to Your Meeting
- You are between the ages of 10-16 and wish to join
Weight Watchers is all about safe and healthy weight loss. If you have any concerns, it’s never a bad idea to open up a dialogue with your regular doctor about your weight-loss efforts. Weight Watchers staff is always available for support, but are not trained medical professionals.
ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE?
The Eight Good Health Guidelines Challenge is here! If you have not been, now is a great time to start working on those 8GHGs every day. Simply print off the attached entry form, check off your 8GHGs each day, and bring it to your meeting. If you have checked 45 or more of the 8GHG for the week, you may submit your slip for a prize drawing! All qualifying entries will be entered into a grand prize drawing in mid-March for the meeting room product of the member’s choice, valued at $25 or less. Good luck!
HALT!
I know you already know and practice the Stop, Rest, and Assess strategy. But do you know how to HALT before making a food choice? Simply stop and ask, “Am I hungry? Or am I angry, lonely, or tired?”
If hunger isn’t the problem, food isn’t the answer!

According to Jack Canfield, world-famous author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, there are ten simple steps to success. This week, we will focus on the first five – and relate them to the Helpful Habits and Tools for Living. Next week we’ll cover the next five “steps for success.”
Have a great week, everyone!

One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be dominating thought in one's mind.

Spicy Apple Crepes
8 servings | 3 POINTS
- 3/4 cup fat-free skim milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg(s)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp table salt
- 1/4 cup light artificially sweetened caramel yogurt
- 2 small Granny Smith apple(s), peeled, cored, and cubed
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup apple jelly
- 2 Tbsp unpacked brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup 1% low-fat cottage cheese
In a blender or food processor, combine milk, flour, egg, sugar and salt; whirl until smooth. Pour into a small bowl; let stand about 30 minutes.
To make the caramel cream; in a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and yogurt. Whirl until very smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down side of bowl 2 or 3 times; pulse in the brown sugar. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes.
To make the filling, in a medium nonstick skillet, toss apples with lemon juice. Stir in the cider, raisins, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are just tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in jelly; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
Lightly spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat. Pour the batter, a scant 2 tablespoons at a time, into the skillet, tilting to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook until the underside is set, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 15 seconds. Slide the crêpe onto wax paper. Repeat with remaining batter, making 8 crêpes, stacking the crêpes between sheets of wax paper.
To serve, transfer the crêpes to plates. Spread a scant 1/4 cup of the filling over one-half of each crêpe; fold into half moons. Spoon the caramel cream over the crêpes.
