Here is what is included:

- Points Plus Calculator

- Shop Guide - shopping guid and includes 7500 general and branded items

- What to Eat Now - cook book featuring 150 recipes

- Tracker - its a bit bigger and has a lot of new features to help you track

- Tape Measure - track those measurements - remember there is more to success than the scale

- Measuring Cups - 4 handy measuring cups - that "pop up" and "flatten up" - these things are amazing

- Stickers to label foods in your pantry

All held together in a handy new case.

This week the package is on sale for $ 31.50

Those of you in the past might remember that these won't be around for long and not at this price.

I highly recommend this kit!

Lose for good!

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

		PointsPlusTM value | 1 Servings |  12 Preparation Time |  10 min Cooking Time |  10 min Level of Difficulty |  Easy  soups |  Nice and simple: a puree of squash and apples with just a hint of fall spice. Serve hot, chilled or at room temperature.

Ingredients

• 4 cup(s) vegetable broth
• 12 oz uncooked butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch cubes*
• 1/2 large uncooked vidalia onion(s), cut into 2-inch cubes
• 1/2 small fresh apple(s), peeled and cut into to 2-inch
• 1/4 tsp table salt, or to taste
• 1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg, or to taste

Instructions

• In a large stock pot, combine broth, squash, onion and apple; cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover pot and reduce heat to low; gently simmer until squash is very tender, about 10 minutes.
  
• Puree soup in pot using an immersion blender (or puree in a regular blender in batches, careful not to splatter hot liquid). Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg; serve. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.

Notes

 *You can purchase already peeled and cubed squash in the produce section of some supermarkets. You can also swap frozen, cubed squash for the fresh.

Garnish with chopped mint.

Oktoberfest and beer

Well some of you may be oktoberfesting this weekend or next, and i just saw the beer cheat sheet online and thought i'd give you some information on the points!
This is off the Canadian Weight Watcher Website for points, I didn't figure out it myself, because I really don't drink too often at all.

Most 12-ounce beers with 5 percent alcohol by volume contains a PointsPlus value of 5.

The typical 16-ounce draft pint contains a PointsPlus value of 7.

Most 12-ounce "light" beers have a PointsPlus value of 4.

A 16 ounce draft pint of light beer has aPointsPlusvalue of 5.

A 12-ounce non-alcoholic beer has a PointsPlusvalue of 2.

There are thousands of different beers. Here’s a selection of popular brews. Some are smarter grabs that save PointsPlus™ values. All are 12 ounces.

Welcome from Linda

My name is Linda and I have been a Lifetime member at Weight Watchers for over 26 years.
For many of those years, my weight would go up and down like a yo-yo! I would think I could do it "on my own" but inevitably I would return to Weight Watchers. Not until 9 years ago, did I fully make this plan my lifestyle choice! Sure, I have my moments just like you do ,when I "deviate", but I know I am able to get right back on track with healthy eating!
I have been a WW leader for over 5 years. We have alot of fun on Friday mornings and I always learn something new! We welcome new members so bring your friends!
