“I joined WeightWatchers in 2019. when my sister-in-law asked me to be in her wedding. But after having my second child, I wasn’t happy with the way I looked. My mom has been a lifelong WW member and she brought me to my first Workshop.

I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. This is the best shape I’ve ever been in and this is the best I've ever felt. I don’t stare at my closet and change clothes 50 times anymore. If someone takes a picture, I’m not hiding.

More important, I’m living with type 1 diabetes. This is the only program that I know of that works for people living with diabetes. I've lowered my A1C and the amount of insulin I'm taking each day.

For about a year, I've been coaching the same Workshop that I attended. The other people who attend aren’t just members, they watched me do all of this – they're practically a family.

3 Things That Helped Me Succeed:

1. Using my weekly Points® to help manage my blood sugar. When my blood sugar goes low, the solution is to eat sugar. I struggled over what to eat and whether I should track it. I tried to find things that are lower in Points, but high-sugar foods and liquids seem to be the best. Now I remind myself that I have to do this for my health. It's not me making a bad decision.

2. Building a better relationship with food. I don't snack when I'm sad or upset or anything. Food is there to fuel me, it's not my company when I'm bored. During the week, I try to stick to my regular eating habits. But I also give myself the freedom to splurge a little bit on the weekend. I'll have a drink or a beer, or we'll go out to dinner.

3. Finding a community. Everyone in the Workshop is willing to give advice. We're all here. We're all doing it together. Sure, Workshops are meetings once a week where we get together and talk about weight loss and the weekly technique, but also what's going on in everyone’s lives.”

Mourning tomato season? *Butternut & Ricotta Bruschetta has entered the chat*

✨ 62 calories + 3 g protein + 9 g carbs + 1 g fiber + 2 g fat + 2 g sugar = 2 Points® for 1 bruschetta

What you’ll need:

How to make it:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Your daily reminder that real life is messy and unfiltered. Setbacks are normal and if you’re *not* experiencing them, well, please give us a call because we want to know your secret.

We’re all trying to find what works, but sometimes recognizing what doesn’t work is just as helpful. Think of those moments less like failures and more like test-runs – so you’ll know not to take that route next time.

We’ll never tell you that this journey is easy. In fact, sometimes it can feel impossible, but we’re here for you through the good and the not-so good.

“When I first joined WeightWatchers in 2006, I was in a really sad place. But I decided to make a change, and I won’t lie, when I walked into my first Workshop, I was scared.

As I began to lose weight, I gained confidence. And because of that, I started running 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and finally full marathons. I’ve run so many marathons now, including New York and Boston!

Recently, I joined WeightWatchers as community support. I want to continue being a role model for my community, for my family, for my friends.

Turning 40 really shifted something for me. Before, I wanted to lose weight and look cute, but now it's about living a long healthy life. I want to be mobile at 70 years old. I want to be able to carry my shopping bags at 75 or even move to Italy!

4 Things That Helped Me Succeed

1. Meal prepping. I'm a big believer that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I meal prep on Sundays and Wednesdays. I make a big batch of ZeroPoint™ veggies for salads, and proteins like chicken and salmon. And I always use different seasonings – like paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or cayenne pepper — so I won't get bored. It's all about the sazon!

2. Learning that it’s not about restriction. I can still go to a winery with my friends or have a burger and make it work with my plan. Maybe I’ll have a lower-Points® breakfast or get in activity after. Life's too short to restrict yourself!

3. Owning my bad days. When I’m struggling, I'll cry it out, I'll put some music on, I'll light some candles. Everything's not going to be all sunshine and rainbows. But that's OK, because it's all about consistency. Today I might eat everything in the refrigerator, but tomorrow I'm waking up with a more positive mindset and I'm back on it. I'm back in the driver's seat.

4. Practicing self-compassion. There's a section in Dr. Gary Foster’s book – WeightWatchers’ chief scientific officer – that talks about writing yourself a love letter. I did that, and I thought, wow, even with my struggles, I’ve accomplished so much. I have a cabinet full of medals from all the races I’ve done – over 50!”

Ever notice how chefs on TikTok run a knife along their food to prove how crispy it is? This Air-Fried Chicken Milanese (the name means there’s parmesan cheese in the bread crumbs) demands that ASMR treatment. It’s *that* crispy-crunchy.

The air fryer makes the outside of the chicken crispy and the inside tender, so you’ll get that “fried” crunch without gobs of oil. We serve it with a flavor-bomb pear & blue cheese salad.

✨ 321 calories + 33 g protein + 22 g carbs + 4 g fiber + 10 g fat + 8 g sugar = 4–8 Points® for 1 cutlet and about 2 cups salad

What you’ll need:

✔️ Cooking spray - 4 sprays
✔️ Egg - 1 item, large
✔️ Panko breadcrumbs - ½ cup
✔️ Grated Parmesan cheese - 2 Tbsp
✔️ Black pepper - ¼ tsp, freshly ground
✔️ Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast - 1 pound, four (4 oz) cutlets
✔️ Baby arugula - 5 cups
✔️ Frisée - 3 cups, or other lettuce
✔️ Pear - 1 medium, cored, thinly sliced
✔️ Uncooked red onion - ½ cup, sliced, thinly
✔️ Blue cheese - ¼ cup, crumbled
✔️ Low fat red wine vinaigrette salad dressing - ¼ cup

How to make it:

1. Preheat an air fryer to 400°F.

2. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with a fork. On a small plate, combine the panko, Parmesan, and pepper. Dip a chicken cutlet into the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Then press the cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture and turn to coat. Set aside and repeat with the remaining chicken.

3. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Lightly coat both sides of the chicken with cooking spray and arrange in a single layer on the basket. Air-fry, turning once, until golden and cooked through, about 7 minutes.

4. While the chicken cooks, in a medium bowl, combine the arugula, frisee, pear, onion, cheese, and dressing. Serve the salad over the chicken, garnished with some black pepper.

While we’re at it, let’s consciously uncouple from any good/bad/happy/sad descriptions related to weight.

Instead of putting so much pressure on your size or the scale, focus on the things that make *you* happy. Maybe it’s spending time with family and friends, traveling, cooking delicious meals, or finding the boots you’ve been dreaming about on sale.

And sure, if your weight loss journey helps you achieve those things, then maybe we can call it happy-adjacent. But you should not put your life – or your happiness – on hold until you see a certain number.

ICYMI: The Olivia Wilde-Jason Sudeikis split drama has entered its Salad Dressing Era. Per the Daily Mail, an anonymous source claiming to be the ex-couple’s nanny says Sudeikis broke down when he discovered Wilde made a “special dressing” for Harry Styles.

If the dressing is the most stable part of the relationship, we assumed it had to be *good.* But turns out, we were underwhelmed by the basic vinaigrette. So we asked our food director, , for dressing ideas so delish your ex will lay in front of a car for you.

These ingredients pack big flavor, have a long fridge life, and turn even the most basic staples into a great meal.

✨ Pesto: Toss with roasted broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or cauliflower for a side; spoon over shrimp, fish, chicken, pork, or white beans

✨ Red or green salsa: Stir into stock as a flavor base for soups and stews

✨ Dijon mustard: Glaze a roasted chicken, pork chop, or salmon filet for a delicious crust.

✨ Lemons and limes: Use as a base for a pasta sauce, salad dressing, or marinade

✨ Hummus: Spread on a sandwich or toast; dollop on a grain bowl

“Five years ago, my wife, Teresa, talked me into coming to a WeightWatchers® meeting with her. I was hesitant at first, but I was pre-diabetic and knew I needed to do something.

Once I understood the program, I was on board. I work in engineering, so I like structure. I like writing things down and being held accountable because then you can see where you fall and where you succeed. That’s why I track everything!

Now I feel comfortable again. I was always doubting where I went—even just getting into a booth at a restaurant. I don't have that fear anymore.

My wife has been my biggest supporter. She's a lifetime member – meaning she’s reached her weight loss goal and is now maintaining it – so I’ve learned from her. We plan our menus together, we shop together. It's worked out great. I don't think I would have accomplished this on my own.

3 Things That Helped Me Succeed
1. Changing my relationship with food. Don't get me wrong, I still love food. I'm Mexican-American, so my family celebrates with food. It's just not the main thing anymore. But I do like to indulge and I can because WW doesn’t take anything away from you. I've been on other weight loss plans where they're very strict, and that's not sustainable. At family parties, my wife and I will bring vegetable dishes and split a plate so we still get to try everything.

2. Finding my people. The last two years, I've gotten really into the WW Bros Connect group and it has kicked me into gear. Before that, I didn't feel a lot of connection with men on WW. Having a men's community to touch base with has been so helpful. Everybody knows each other, we post workouts, we post recipes. There's a lot of camaraderie. And when you're struggling you can reach out and there's always somebody there. I've offered advice. I've gotten advice. It works both ways.

3. Getting more active. As I’ve lost weight, I've also gotten more active and gained more energy. Now I'm an avid bike rider. I do a Peloton workout in the morning and I do another bike workout in the afternoon. I made it a routine. First thing in the morning, I get up, I put my workout clothes on and go straight to the garage, six days a week.

You won't get the full success of WeightWatchers if you don't follow it. My advice is to listen to your coaches, take their advice, track everything, and stay within your Points. I try to get blue dots every day. Except for my weigh-in day. On my weigh-in day, I never get a blue dot!”

Grain bowls. Hummus bowls. Burrito bowls. All good, but our hearts beat for cheeseburger bowls.

P.S. This recipe isn’t to say you should never eat a burger the old-school way. Sometimes you might want to save the Points®, eat lunch with a fork instead of your hands, or just forgot to grab a pack of buns at the store. Cheeseburgers – in all their forms – are still very much a yes.

✨ 256 calories + 30 g protein + 12 g carbs + 3 g fiber + 10 g fat + 6 g sugar = 6 Points® for 1 bowl

What you’ll need:

✔️ Cooking spray - 4 sprays
✔️ Uncooked extra lean ground beef 96 % lean 4% fat - 1 pound
✔️ Kosher salt - 1 tsp
✔️ Uncooked onion - 1 small, finely chopped
✔️ Chopped romaine lettuce - 6 cups, shredded
✔️ Plum tomatoes - 4 medium, diced
✔️ Kosher dill pickle sandwich slices - 15 slices, divided
✔️ Reduced-fat cheddar cheese - 8 Tbsp, shredded
✔️ Uncooked red onion - 6 thin slices, optional
✔️ Ketchup - 1 Tbsp
✔️ Light mayonnaise - 2 Tbsp
✔️ Mustard - 1 ½ tsp
✔️ Worcestershire sauce - ½ tsp

How to make it:

1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add the beef and salt. Reserve 1 tbsp of the yellow onion and add the remaining yellow onion to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the beef is cooked through and no longer pink, 7 to 9 minutes. Let cool. Set aside.

2. Meanwhile, place 1½ cups lettuce each in 4 medium bowls. Top each bowl with a quarter of the tomato, 3 pickle slices, 2 tbsp cheese, and the red onion (if using).

3. In a small bowl, stir the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and reserved 1 tbsp yellow onion. Finely chop the remaining 3 dill pickle slices and add to the bowl.

4. Divide the beef mixture among the bowls of lettuce. Serve with the special sauce.

Fine, it's probably more like 40 percent. Or 25 percent. Either way, we've got *a lot* of pics in front of a cloudy floor-length mirror. But in between all the befores, we spy the progress in the process – and we know the after is coming soon.
