Great Question!
This is the 4th Annual Initiative. Weight Watchers is teaming up with meeting members and charitable partners to help fight hunger. As you lose weight and participate in activities this year you can help us to donate up to $1,000,000 during the campaign. Good Luck!More Information on the "Lose For Good" Tab above.
Each week, I'll post the meetings successes:

Week 1 TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: Tadaaaaa! 304.6 Very Nicely Done :)
This week I am focusing on how to kick start weight loss again ... the "nitty gritties" of the program - don't miss the meeting, a lively discussion is likely!
What else is new this week?
Sale in the Meeting Room:
Your favorite Mini Bars, Oatmeal and Smoothies are back on SALE for $4.95
(including the newest flavors - Toasted Coconut Dream Mini Bars and Creme Brulee Smoothies).
BTW We are sampling the newest Mini Bars so make some time to come to the meeting this week for your taster!
Oh, and here is a cool thing:
Weight Watchers is currently working out the bugs on the e-tools feature, but as soon as they do, when you weigh in at a Weight Watchers Center that is computerised, you will see your latest weight automatically pop up in your personal e-tools account. I will keep you informed as to the latest information as they are working through the kinks.
If you don't see this happening and you'd like to call Weight Watchers,
