EASTER EYE OPENERS
Each year U.S. manufacturers produce more than 16 billion jellybeans for Easter. That's enough to completely fill a nine-story plastic Easter egg! To burn off all those calories you’d need to climb a lot more than 9 stories of stairs!

ARTICLES OF NOTE
"If you bite it, write it," is an old Weight Watchers adage. We now know that Monitoring Yourself means something different for members following the Core plan than it does for Flex plan followers.Members who have already developed this habit (or for whom it was always a habit) are encouraged to share how self-monitoring is more than writing down what you eat. We will also discuss any specific challenges this weekend may present to those members who celebrate Easter.
Have a great week, everyone!
