Gobble till you Wobble?
What is different about this day? Every year, we gather around a table idolizing a turkey dinner that we can have any day of the week. We actually plan to eat so much that we make ourselves sick. Think about that. Purposely making ourselves sick on a holiday that is about being thankful? Wow!
This year, what if you make plans to celebrate feelings of joy and happiness?
Focus on the opportunities that you may not have the rest of the year. Maybe you can tell friends and family how much you love and appreciate them. In these tough economic times, simply being able to afford a meal is something to be thankful for.
As Weight Watcher's members we can be thankful for our improving health and the commitment we have made to ourselves. This commitment will give us longer and more fulfilling lives.
As a Weight Watchers leader, I am thankful for all of my members' success, commitment and perseverance. Walking in the door to weigh in every week is an accomplishment you should all be proud of because I'm certainly proud of you!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'll see you all next week!
...and just remember, whether you feel you had success or not, the real success is coming to the meeting anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-On another note, there are some very exciting things coming up in the meeting room. The week of December 7th, we're rolling out some great improvements in our 2009 program! Weight Watchers strives to make the program as successful as possible for each and every one of you and we'll be introducing all sorts of great stuff so be sure to come to your meeting.

New Pre-Payment Option
As of now, all traditional meeting locations will be offering a new pre-payment option. It will be a 17-week season pass and the cost is $194 paid upfront.
This plan will replace the 10-week pre-paid coupons which will no longer be offered. For those of you who currently have those coupons, don't worry, we will continue to honor them. However, they will not be available to purchase when you run out.
For joining members, purchasing this plan will waive the registration fee.
Additionally, you will never pay a missed week fee.
