Would You Like Fruit with That?

Hello, Weight Watchers! Did last week's discussion bust through some of your activity excuses? Activity does NOT have to be formal exercise at a gym to count, you just need to find some enjoyable ways to Move More! Dancing, playing, and strolling all count!

ORANGE CREME TWIST-ING IT UP!
I finally got around to trying the new Smoothie flavor this weekend and I LOVE it! I've been making the French Vanilla Smoothie with orange juice for a different flavor for years, but the new Orange Creme Twist flavor really packs a great orange punch! Weight Watchers Smoothies are a great, low POINTS way to incorporate those Dairy, Healthy Oil, and Fruit Good Health Guidelines into your day! Include ice and skim or light soy milk for a milkshake-like filling breakfast or snack!

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When do I need a doctor's note for Weight Watchers?

A doctor's note is required for anyone between the ages of 10-16 to become a member of Weight Watchers. This note must be submitted before the member may weigh-in or pay any fees. Members under the age of 18 may not purchase the Monthly Pass.

A doctor's note is also required to set a goal outside of the Healthy Weight Range chart (found in your Welcome to Your Meeting Week One book), or if a member is losing an average of more than two pounds per week, not including the first three weeks on the program. Rapid weight loss can cause serious medical problems and should only be done under the supervision of a doctor.

We often need help finding simple (maybe even sneaky) ways to introduce healthy eating ideas to other people in our lives - families, co-workers, and friends. We may also need to practice the Ask for Help habit, so we don't always have to be so secretive.

Have a great week, everyone!
