»RE: The Jan/Feb Issue, Hudson Shoot, PointsPlus Is Here

from: nancy@weightwatchers.com
Jennifer looks unbelievable!

Everyone at the photo shoot keeps saying she looks like a different person. She just smiles that killer smile and purrs, "It's Weight Watchers. It works." In this issue, we need BIG coverage on the new Program. Make sure every page delivers: advice, ideas, recipes-everything you need when it's January and you're ready to lose. We must motivate, and we must be honest with readers about the dedication and commitment nee ded: tet's encourage them to be tenacious and fearless! Finally, we have to keep it lightwe all need to laugh at ourselves and life once in a while, right?
Worth a Look
So much gets edited out of each issue due to space; here are two bits that deserve your attention. Dressing well and knowing what works for you are always in fashion. The book The Fashion Fife: Advice, Tips and Inspiration from the Costume Designer of Mad Men by Janie Bryant (Grand Central Publishing, $26.99) is a mix of history (love the '50s styles that were forgiving if you had hips), beautiful illustrations, and solid fashion advice.
Jennifer goes glam on set.
Nancy
But she always keeps it real for baby David.
Speaking of Dedication
At the beginning ofa yoga class, an instructor may ask YOll to dedicate your iffhTt and intention to someone who has made a difference in your life. With that in mind, we dedicate this issue to a colleague who worked tireless(y to make each issue ill WWM -and us-the best it and we could be:Abby Winogmd.
Heart-health experts now contend that chest compressions atone can be as effective as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation plus compressions in rescuing heart-attack victims. Best advice: If you want to save a life, get CPR training. But who knew: The '70s tune "Stavin' Alive" has the perfect beat for timing chest camp ressi ons,

Ask at our centers for details about ou r maintenance record. Check with your physician before beginning or dramatically changing a fitness routine.
It Really Is a
January always provides a great opportunity to take control of our lives and seek new and better directions. I cannot think of a more important time for us all to do so.
In October 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a new report projecting that if current health trends continue, the number of people with diabetes could double (or even triple) by the year 2050, ~as many as an estimated one ou L of ever" three Americans could suffer from this terrible affliction. Today, diabetes costs an estimated $174 billion annually in healthcare and related costs. Tripling this would create a half-trillion-dollar impact on our healthcare system, threatening to bankrupt it. I was shocked by this sad forecast. How could this happen? There are a number of reasons for the projected rise of diabetes over the coming years, but by far the most direct cause is the simple facllhat 85 percent of people wi th l 'pc 2 diabetes arc ovorwciaht. Many of us know that the impact of overweight on our health and quality of life is real, and its impact on our health care system has become undeniable. I'm sure we can all agree that this terrifying trend cannot come to be. TIle only way to stop this train is to reverse the obesity trend once and for all. Few national issues are more frustrating to observe than the obesity epidemic. As a society, we seem to have made so little collective impact, yet for many it's not for a lack of trying. It's hard to imagine pushing back this epidemic when it feels like our environment is conspiring against
us. The experts have even coined a term for this, noting that we now live in an "obesogenic" environment. :W have about 600 more calories per day available to us now than we did :;0 veal'S a to (that's a 30 percent increase, according to the United States Department of Agriculture). About 75 percent of this increase comes from flour and cereal products, caloric sweeteners, and added fats and oils. In other words, we have a lot more junk food and processed food surrounding us all day, every day. During the same period of time, the availability of'fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and nuts has remained virtually unchanged. What's more, most of us find ourselves on the go, filling up on quick food, eating out at restaurants, and cooking a lot less than we used to. As often as not, the quick, easy, and inexpensive choice is not the smartest one. We need new and better Lools to hel us conquer th e ch aJ lcngcs of our environment. lATe eed resources that n can empower us to make better and more sustainable choices. Our reliance on calorie counting has outlived its usefulness. The fundamental issue with calorie counting can be summarized simply: When we feel that we are making an "equal" choice between a 100-calorie apple and a 100-calorie bag of chips, we have clearly gone off track. Today, we are getting 35 percent of our calories from added sugars and fatsthat's just too many empty calories.
With its most significant program change in over a decade, Weight Watchers is taking a stand and moving forward toward a better way With our nev .. · PuintsPius'" program, we arc movin_g beyond caloric counting so that w can help you start look ing at food in a whole new, more accurate way. We are no longer treating a calorie as a calorie. We are taking a stand for fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and low- and non-fat daily. With our new program, you can still have your indulgences and treats, but 'we
Since September 2010, hundreds of people have been testing this new program, and we are hearing a roaring cheer: They tell us that they are feeling more satisfied, more healthy, and more energetic while losing weight ..This new program is giving them tools to address their weight challenges once and for all. We believe that the P(JintsPlus program is the right program at the right time to help us reverse the obesity epidemic. Come join us, and let's change the world together. Let's start with ourselves, and then let's spread the word. It's a new day.

" One thing I've alway_s toZd myselfisto • never gtoe up. To succeed at weight loss, you have to keep an going."
One day when I couldn't button my largest pair of pants, I realized it was finally time to lose weight. I just wasn't sure how to do it. Then I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while and she looked amazing. When she told me her secret was WW, I was sold! I went to my first meeting in August of 2009, and I continued to lose weight every week until the weigh-in after Thanksgiving. That was my first gain, and believe me, I knew it was coming! I got back on track after the holiday and was even more motivated to lose. Believe it or not, I had always been one of those people who frequently forget to eat. I would find myself starving and overeating at the end )}

of the day. But with 'WW, I made a plan for each meal and stuck with it. I actually ate 1/Wre than I did before, but of good things, like fruits, veggies, and lean meats. I also started to cook more and learned to try different vegetables. That's how I discovered sweet potatoes, my new staple. I always thought I didn't like them, but now I bake a batch on the weekends and probably have one every other day. Yes, I enjoy them that much! I didn't realize what a lazy lifestyle I was leadin_g.Before, I could barely catch the bus, and now I actually run on the treadmill! These days, I've been going to the gym three times a week. The first time I stayed on the treadmill for the entire 30 minutes, I felt so proud of myself. All it took was that one workout to make me realize just how far I'd come.. My secret to making sure I get my workout in? I never go home between work and the gym. Even though the health club is close to my house, I won't do it. Once I'm home, it's just too easy to start making dinner, put on my pajamas, and watch TV. Once my pants started falling off me, I knew I needed to buy new clothes. 1 was hoping I'd be down a size, but I was actually down two sizes! It was the first time in my life that I was wearing a single digit! I walked out of that store thinking, "Wow,I finally made it!" »
I always order a broth-based soup or garden salad as an appetizer. They fill me up even before my entree arrives.
Everyday Rules If I'm celebrating a
special occasion or am at a great restaurant, I let myself splurge a bit. But if I'm ordering takeout, I keep it reasonable.

"When a salesperson • gave me a sixe 6 dress to try on-and itfit-« I was in shock!"
People always tell me I seem so much happier these days. I'm not happier because I'm thinner. I'm happier because a whole new world has opened up for me ..I can do things. I've run marathons, gone skydiving, and even completed an obstacle course through a mud pit. 111efunny thing is, I didn't even think this life could exist when I started. I just joined WW to get my doctor off my back. Whenever I'd go in for a checkup, he'd lecture me on why I needed to lose weight. Finally, after hearing his speech again I thought, '1fI just lose 20 pounds, maybe this guy will stop hounding me." When one of the nurses suggested I try ww, I was insulted. I was 29 years old and my impression at that time was that it was for people mum older than I was. Once I walked into that first meeting, I realized how wrong I was.

than I expected, I wouldn't talk to anyone at first. I'm a successful professional woman, yet I was so embarrassed to be there. I wouldn't look anyone in the eye andjust sat silently in the back row. But as I listened to the other members' stories, gradually, over time, I realized that I wasn't alone. Once I got the hang of the program, I actually thought it was fun. I'm an accountant, and WW turned losing weight into a numbers game-it was all about keeping track of POINTS values. 1 thought, "I can do this!" WW gave me a structure that I never had with food. I didn't know what a portion was, so I used to just eat until the food was gone. Once I started dropping weight, though, I knew I needed to get active. I decided to walk the two miles from the subway to my office (instead of calling a cab as I usually did). Since I was so out of shape, fd be sweating profusely when I got to work-seven in the middle of winter! I kept at it, though, and started to actually enjoy the time to myself.
As the walking became easier, I decided to try running. Well, I was terrible at it! But I was determined to get better-just as I had with my weight
loss. Ijoined a running club and signed up for sessions with a personal trainer. 111efirst time I ran around the reservoir in Central Park (just 1.6 miles), I started to cry because I was so proud of myself. After that, I took on a 5K, then a 10K, and even a half-marathon. Finally, I signed up for the New York City Marathon and followed a rigorous training program. "When I crossed that finish line, I was so emotional. Itwas a culmination of my weight loss and fitness gains-everything had changed. N othing seems out of reach to me anymore. W

If you're having Buffalo chicken wings on game day, tackle the fat without blocking the taste.
Saucy Talk
Wing sauces can add 13 g or more of fat to your order. As a rule, the spicier the better!
HOTTongue·tickling hot sauce packs heat, not fat. No spicy option on the menu? Order "naked" wings (meaning no sauce) and sprinkle fat-free Tabasco on top. If you're not a spice fan, order grill.ed chicken breast instead of wings and ask for a side of fat-free honey-mustard dressing. Then just slice and dip!
sauce often contains more butter than spice, so request sauce on the side-and dip gingerly.

As a former perfectionist who now helps others accept their imperfect selves, allow me to offer some expert advice: First, put down the spoon, Now, pick it back up again-after you've measured out a reasonable portion. When you're trying to lose weight, it's generally the quantities that are problematic, not food itself. You're taking a perfectionist'S approach to weight loss. That's fine if all you're after is a quick fix, But going to such extremes won't cut it if you're in this for the long haul. For example, when a patient tells me she wants to drop six dress sizes in a few months, I liken her to someone who's never gotten off the conch saying she'd like to run a marathon: It's not realistic. Instead of sprinting to the finish line in January, try taking baby steps by setting attainable goals, such as, "Today, 111take a walk during my lunch hour," or "I'm going to eat one less processed snack." Focus on that one healthy change a day rather than
it hard to get back on track. I'd rather see you eat one cookie a day (and enjoy it) than give up sweets "for life," Oh. one last thing: Enjoy the act of eatin.g. Focusing on the sumptuous flavor of dinner rather than the calories it contains will make mealtime a lot more pleasurable,

lVhat's My Strategy?
Your plan of attack? Begin by dividing your cabinets into fou r areas that make sense for the way you use your space: 1) Daily Dishes Store everyday dishes, silverware, and glasses in your easiest-to-access cabinet, This should be a space you can reach easily without standing on a stool. 2) Storage Put plastic wrap, foil, chip clips, and Tupperware for leftovers in one area near the fridge for easy access. 3) Food Prep Store cutting boards, knives, mixing bowls, and other prep tools in one location. 4) Cooking Keep pots, pans, ladles, and spatulas in a space near your stove.

For the most flattering fit Hitting the stores? Look for the DKNY plus line, now available at Lane Bryant. You'll find trendy jeans, blouses, dresses, and cardigans.

One expert tells the cold, hard truth about why this season can lead to overeating.
Can I allow myself more calories now that it's cold outside? If you live in an igloo or a tent year-round and you're constantly exposed to cold temperatures, you definitely need more energy to maintain your core body temperature in the winter. But if, like most, you spend the majority of your day in heated indoor spaces, you don't. need to consume any more calories than you normally would. But I crave comfort food 24/7. Why? The foods our culture cherishes at this time of year veer more toward heavy and hearty than light and healthy. In addition, for some people, the desire to devour heavier foods like mashed potatoes or beef stew has less to do with the cold and more to do with the lack of sunlight that contributes to a condition known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). In fact, a study published in the medicaljournal The Lancet suggests that a drop in serotonin, the body's "feel good" chemical, has been linked to increased appetite (particularly in people who suffer from SAD). So am I less likely to lose weight in the 'winter? Unless you follow a squirrels lead and hibernate, no. Instead, why not venture outdoors for a walk? The cool air is not only refreshing; it will likely cause you to walk a lot faster than you usually do. Just remember to pile on a few easy-to-remove layers so you won't. get t.oo warm when you pick up the pace. Also, bring along a water bottle: You may not sweat as much or feel as thirsty as you do in the warmer months, but you're still at risk for dehydration. w.w

What'sHidi~g
at Your Gym?
Answer: a little more than you bargained for when it comes to germs. Here's how to stay healthy and safe.
If you've resolved to get in shape this year, you're likely docking some time at the gym.
But according to the latest research on how germs are transmitted, you may have some unwanted company. "Germs thrive in places that are crowded, moist, and warm, like the gym," says Steve Zinder, Ph.D., an athletic trainer and assistant professor of exercise and sport science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. That means viruses, bacteria, and fungal infections may all be lurking on your yoga mat. And you've likely heard about the newer staph infections, such as MRSA, which is transferred byskin-to-skin contact and resists most antibiotics. Despite the risks, if you exercise common sense when exercising, chances are you can sweat without sweating it.
showers/locker room
ICK FACTOR The shower floor at your gym is a mosh pit for germs. Step barefoot on those tiles, and you can wind up with athlete's foot, plantar warts, or onychomycosis, the fungus that causes yellow, cracked toenails, says Jane Andersen, D.P.M., a spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association. You may prefer to shower in the privacy of your own home, but if you wait until you get home to shower and change, you're simply transporting germs from the gym into your car and house. "The best thing you can do to prevent disease transmission is to shower at the gym with soap and water," says Zinder. GERM BUSTER Keep a pair of plastic flipflops in your bag and never step into the shower without them. Before changing

Are you doing everything to protect your heart? We the journals and plowed through the research to help you do just that.
Heart disease was once called the silent killer because so little was known about its warning signs. For women in particular, there just wasn't a lot of focus (or research) on the condition. Wow, how times have changed! Now, heart disease is considered the single leading cause of death among American women. In fact, it's been determined that middle-aged women who suffer a heart attack are likely to have a second one within fiveyears. Given stats like these, it's no surprise that heart disease now rivals cancer for both research dollars and media attention. Though you might have little control over certain risk factors such as family history, race, and age, you can control others by keeping your weight in check, not smoking, and exercising regularly. Read on for other ways to keep your heart strong.
REQUEST THIE BEST HEART TEST FOR WOMEN

Standard measures of heart health, including blood pressure screenings and blood sugar tests, should already be part of your annual physical. But another test is emerging asa screening must, pa rticularly for women. Irs a blood test that screens for C·reactive protein. a marker of infla mmationin the body (wh ich is a telltale sign of heart disease risk). 'The eRP test seems to be predictive of heart disease risk in women more than in men," says Marianne J. Legato, M.D., director of the Partnership for Gender-Specitic

If you take LIPITOR,tell your doctor if you feel any new muscle pain or weakness. This could be a sign of rare
but serious muscle side effects. Tell your doctor about all medications you take. This may help avoid serious drug interactions. Your doctor should do blood tests to check your liver function before and during treatment and may adjust your dose. Common side effects are diarrhea, upset stomach, muscle and joint pain, and changes in some blood tests.

Aim to Maintain
Think a small weight gain won't impact your heart? Guess again. Mayo Clinic researchers recently found that even a modest weight gain can raise your risk of heart attack and heart disease-at any age. Study participants (all healthy, most under 30) who put on an average of 9 pounds exhibited symptoms associated with an increased risk. BOTTOM LINE Don't let the pounds accumulate with every passing year. Do an annual birthday weigh-in at which you compare your weight with the previous year's. Gained a few pounds? Vow to get back to last year's number.

We've an seen the stressed-out male executive (redfaced, yelling)al1d thought "heart attack waiting to happen." But what about the stressed-out female worker? Turns out, science says, the stress women feel at work is taking a toll on their heart health, too. According to just-out data from the Women's Health Study, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, women who reported high job strain increased thei l' risk of cardiovascular disease by 40 percent. Plus, they had an 88 percent increase in heart attack risk. (The study defined job "strain" as doing demanding work with little decisionmaking authority or ability to use creativity and skills.) Since there's no such thing as a stress-free workplace, the key to protecting your heart is managing your stress. Try our tension-tamers, at right.
ST- E SS~ R
GET A HEAD START Arrive at the office 10 to 15 minutes earlier than your boss or your staff does. The extra time will let you assess your schedule for the day, catch up one-mails, and clear your head before the chaos of the day sets in. HAVE A "WORK SPOUSE" ID one coworker, whether it's an assistant or a colleague, who is a strong ally and whom you trust to ma nage tasks. This person can also be your sounding board for political issues in the workplace or other stressful situations. Think of her (or him) as your "work spouse" or your go-to colleague. NO E-MAIL AT THE TABLE In today's work culture, it's unrealistic to "leave work at the office." So it's critical to have some guidelines for how much work you do at home. A good start: Limit your time on e-mail to 30 minutes a night-and the golden rule: no BlackBerry at the dinner table!
GARLIC BREATH
A little garlic on your breath may not be such a bad thing: Preliminary research from China suggests that garlic has potential for preventing cardiomyopathy, a form of heart disease that's the leading cause of death in people with type 2 diabetes. More research is needed, but it won't hurt to add some garlic to your proteins and veggies-just pop a mint afterward! WN
EMBRACE
Hey, we're starting to take this personally! Women's heart issues are often misdiagnosed, and many female heart patients don't receive the care they need. One study published in the journal Heart found women were less likely than men to receive medications such as statins and beta blockers-or even aspirin-to help prevent further heart problems. Don't let your doc off the hook: Discuss your family's heart history and any concerns at your next visit.

I WOULD DESCRIBE MYSELF AS Delicate. I have a gentle green color with lacy, parsleylike leaves. My flavor is a cross between tarragon and parsley, but I'm much more subdued than either herb. I have a sweet, fresh, and light personality, WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER I'm the perfect subtle complement to seafood, including crab, scallops, sole, and halibut; white-meat poultry, such as chicken breasts and turkey cutlets; and delicate veggies, like peas and baby carrots. I'm also a fabulous substitute for parsley. ONA TYPICAL WEEKNIGHT I AM ••• Whisked into a salad dressing, sprinkled over steamed beets, or folded into an omelette.

PROJECT DINNER
WOI(VVISDOM
We asked Grace Young, wok whisperer and author of Stir"Frying to the Sky's Edge (Simon & Schuster, 2010), for her top three stir-fry tips. CUTRIGHTTo prep meat, Young recommends that you first slice it into long strips with the grain. "Then irs essential to cut each slice against the grain, so the long, tough fibers turn into bite-size melt-inyour-mouth pieces," she says.
WANTED: A Crispy Stir-Fry

THE PROBLEM Meat and veggies always turn out soggy when you try to sti r-fry.
IWMh:J
Too many ingredients reduce the wok's temperature, causing them to steam rather than stir-fry. So avoid stir-frying
more than 1 Ib poultry, 'M Ih meat, or 4 c vegetables at one time. Also, be sure to use dry veggies; spin-dry in a salad spinner
DON'T GO NON.STICK Young after preppi ng if needed. swears by her 14-inch flatbottomed carbon steel wok. It's roomy enough to hold the food without crowding. "If you don't have a wok, use a 12-inch stainless steel skillet that's at least 2)1, inches deep," she suggests. NNeverstir-fry with nonstick pans because you shouldn't preheat nonstick surfaces over high heat while empty." FOLLOWTHE STI R· FRYMOTTO "The Chinese have a saying: hot wok, cold oil." says Young. Translation: Always heat the wok before you add the oil. "This will keep food from stickinq." she adds, "plus it prevents the oil from getting too hot, which breaks down the nutrients and affects flavor."
