Weight loss. No deprivation. Get healthy.

A first in the weight loss industry ... add foods for healthy choices

Your Lifestyle plan is personalized just for you.

No two plans are alike!

1. NOW! Add Points for eating non-starchy veggies

Non-starchy veggies are nutritional powerhouses (that’s why they are a ZeroPoint food for everyone!) Reaching for non-starchy veggies more often can help you stay within your PersonalPoints Budget, which can help you reach your weight goal. Non-starchy veggies, with their high-water, low-fat, high-fiber content, may help you stay fuller longer, for fewer calories than other foods and can also be used as smart swaps for higher Point foods.

2. NOW! Add Points for drinking water

Drinking water is one of the simplest and most important things you can do to optimize your health and well-being. Water is essential for life and health –it helps the entire body function at its best, from regulating body temperature and supporting digestion, to eliminating toxins and optimizing brain function. Additionally, drinking water can support weight loss when it takes the place of pointed beverages such as juices or sodas with water or sparkling water. Add bitters to your Seltzer or Club. It adds a nice twist to plain water.

3. NOW! Add PersonalPoints for physical activity

Regular physical activity is among the most important things you can do for your health – it not only increases your fitness and physical function, but also decreases your risk for certain chronic diseases (including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers). Moving more helps in managing stress and improves your overall wellbeing, your mood, and sleep. Activity also plays a role in weight, leading to 20% more weight loss when combined with a healthier diet (vs. changing your diet alone) and is the single biggest predictor of who keeps weight off long term.

4. NOW! Use all your Points and still lose weight

Our rigorous testing proves this. We’ve designed this program to promote a healthy rate of weight loss of 2-3 pounds per week, while still eating the foods they love – even if a Member spends all of their PersonalPoints, which includes any Points they add. No deprivation!

5. NOW! What if I don’t want additional PersonalPoints added to my Budget?

Any PersonalPoints earned from activity will be added to your weekly Budget automatically. But just because you add Points doesn’t mean you have to use them! Weeklies are yours to use any way you want—a little every day, all at once, or not at all. Know that the program has been tested and is designed to use your full Budget (dailies + weeklies, any added PersonalPoints) and regularly enjoy ZeroPoint foods and still lose weight.

This week's letter from DebW

General Manager and Voice of Philadelphia

Hello WW Philadelphia Members!

Like a hot summer day, you might be asking yourself, “when will this all be over?”

That loaded question could mean many things. The answer many times is “never.”

My first excursion to WW was after the fabulous program with the mandatory weekly consumption of liver and a few years before POINTS. I was there to lose weight as fast as possible and get this problem over with. You’re already catching on to my theme, aren’t you?

My mistakes were:

1. I lied about my height. I know that sounds so dumb, but it was at a time when I was still trying not to be 71 inches tall. I said I was 69 inches tall, thus cutting off quite a few pounds for a recommended goal weight to achieve lifetime. In fact, when I looked at the recommended number I thought to myself, I’m pretty sure I visited that number on one of my many growth spurts in the 8^th grade. So, immediately I set up an unachievable goal for myself.

2. I was in a hurry; I saw this DIET thing as a temporary situation that upon completion I’d be FIXED and that would be it. I would be ready to go on my merry way.

3. Because of my DIET mentality, I eliminated foods, and ate the same thing over and over again (because that worked) but learned ZERO about really getting to a good number for me, building a healthy relationship with food, and maintaining a weight loss.

Members ask our Staff all the time about goal weights and WW still has charts based on body mass indexing, a method used by most physicians and health organizations, but everyone knows does not fit every individual perfectly. Thankfully we no longer automatically assign a goal weight to everyone upon joining.

Every pound lost and kept off is a victory for your health. Start with manageable chunks of pounds and even if you’ve been a Member for years, focus on those small chunks one at a time. It is something like building a block wall, one block representing 5 pounds, doesn’t seem like much but when stacked up together and intertwined for strength with reinforcement (learning to maintain each chunk lost), they become a lasting part of your architecture.

Playing scale games is something most of us do instinctively. You know what I’m talking about, the weigh-in uniform, the amount you eat and drink or don’t eat and drink prior to weigh-in. Some of these things are a head game we get ourselves into and once into them are hard to get past. As a WW Leader years ago, I used to acknowledge the scale games when the topic led to that kind of conversation. The truth is you really are the lightest first thing in the morning after using the restroom and before consuming anything when you are a little dehydrated and NAKED. Is that your true number, your real-life “fighting” weight, and the maintainable number? NO! it isn’t. Imagine if your goal weight was your 3 pm in the afternoon weight instead of your first thing in the morning, dehydrated weight? Maybe that would make a lot of things in our lives a little more manageable.

Weight loss doesn’t occur on the day of weigh-in. It occurs because over the last 7 days you consumed a few less calories than your body required for the activity level you managed to navigate during the same 7 days. Do our bodies always give us what we want and expect? Nope, but they will if you stay honest with yourself and keep at it.

So, our weight management journey never really ends but ultimately the tools and habits we incorporate can make the journey come a little more naturally to us.

Have a healthy week,
