LOSE FOR GOOD

Lose For Good™ 2010

At Weight Watchers, we talk a lot about losing — losing weight. Today is about what members can gain from losing weight, and how other people can benefit from their efforts as well.





Weight Watchers® is proud to announce the return of the Lose For Good campaign! As you lose weight and participate in other activities between September 5 and October 23, 2010, the pounds you lose can help feed hungry people around the world – and right here at home. We'll donate up to one million dollars to people around the world who need it.

Hunger and obesity
Food and adequate nutrition have been a concern since the beginning of time. Thousands of years ago our ancestors — the hunters and the gatherers — ate their fill when times were prosperous in the hope of preventing starvation in leaner times. And, those leaner times were always “just around the corner.”

Today, many of us are surrounded by food constantly — triggering that ancient internal mechanism that prompts us to eat, and overeat, whenever we are surrounded by food. Sadly, this has given way to issues of overweight and obesity in modern times. And yet, in many parts of our own country and the world, hunger remains a reality.

Investing in your health
Taking care of our health and nutrition can sometimes feel like a luxury in today’s tough economic times. Weight Watchers knows you need to be careful about how you spend your money. We’re glad you see your health as a priority and are putting your hard-earned dollars behind that commitment. But, being overweight is also an expensive condition in many ways. It can lead to diabetes, high cholesterol, and a whole host of health issues. In tough times, it pays to be in the best shape and health of our lives — for ourselves and for our loved ones.

Learning what helps and hinders your own weight loss can ultimately turn every experience into a success.

Learn from Experience
Learn what fits your life, and build on that knowledge.
Evaluate your progress and make small adjustments as needs arise.
Accept what’s not in your control...and accept that mistakes happen. Weight loss is a matter of “progress, not perfection.”
Reap the benefits of others’ success. What are their secrets, tips and tricks? How do they manage difficult situations?
Never give up on your goals. There’s always something more to learn, always another option to try.
