Hello, Weight Watchers! Did last week's meeting give you any good tips on self-monitoring? It's a great way to keep on track with the program and sometimes a tip from another member is just what we need to make it through the week!

ROLLS-ROYCE OPEN HOUSE
Rolls-Royce members - Your Open House meeting is this week! Please invite anyone who is interested in Weight Watchers at Work to come see what we're all about! Series info and payment options can be found here. Payment for the next series will be collected this week - let's get to 20 members so we can have all the benefits of a 17-week series!
FBI 17-WEEK SERIES
FBI members - We made it to the 17-week series minimum - yay!!!!! If you haven't joined the new series, it's not too late to get the free eTools! Members who join in Weeks One or two get 19 weeks of free eTools and have the option to split the series fee into three checks for $62. After that, series fees will be prorated according to the number of weeks remaining in the series.
COVANCE - WE CAN DO IT!
Covance member - I received nine payments at our Open House meeting last week. We only need six more people to drop off their payment with Maxene Grounds by Thursday to start the new series on Friday! (Please contact me if you have not paid yet and want to use a credit card.) We WILL get there!
ARTICLES OF NOTE
Much is misunderstood about carbohydrates. We sometimes think bread and pasta, instead of including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, when thinking about carbohydrates. Since many of our "red light" foods seem to be highly processes carbohydrates, introducing whole grains and Filling Foods has the potential to help us maintain control and stay satisfied longer.
Have a great week! I'll see you at your meeting!

The ability to constantly redefine success is one of the surest means of becoming successful. Success is a habit. So is failing. A dynamic definition of success, one that takes into account the reality of the moment, is far more effective in establishing the habit of success than is an inflexible definition.
