Hello, 
Winners!
Let me just start off by 
saying that NEXT SATURDAY morning, October 19, the Hastings meeting will begin 
at 8:30  because my receptionist Kim and I are traveling to Omaha for the annual 
Weight Watchers Staff meeting where we learn what's going to be new at Weight 
Watchers in 2014.  I'm always excited about the yearly staff meeting and getting 
the scoop on all the new stuff planned.  I don't know anything yet, and I'll be 
a MUMMY about it until December when we will roll it out to you.  All I know is, 
the program ALWAYS makes any important changes based on the latest scientific 
research, which only improves what we already have, and it's pretty great now. 
isn't it?
As we move into October, we 
realize there are only a few weeks until Halloween, and everything is changing 
around us! The leaves are changing, the weather is changing, and we are on a 
journey to discover how to best handle those upcoming holidays successfully. 
We are definitely on a journey 
of discovery with destination unknown...a long term healthy weight. Some of us 
have never been at a healthy weight before.  Some of us have been there, stayed 
for there for awhile but left it, and are back again to journey once more to 
that desired place. What makes us begin? Why did we leave? What made us come 
back? What keeps us going? These are all questions that come to mind as we think 
about another holiday season. 
Do you want to cringe when the 
cameras come around for those holiday photos? How will you handle those 
once-a-year foods you know you crave for reasons other than hunger? What will 
you do at those holiday parties where you have no control over the menu? Are you 
thinking, "I can't do this until after the holidays?" Will you be one of those 
who puts off taking charge of your health and fitness until January....AGAIN? 
NO! Not you!
You are a Weight Watchers' 
member. You are coming to weekly meetings for the group support and the 
accountability. You are planning your meals and tracking your food. You are 
learning from past years what didn't work and changing habits. The time is NOW! 
Yes, the holidays will soon be upon us. It's time NOW to work the program and 
make new habits. If not now...when?
So, let me ask you again. What 
needs to happen for you to be mindful of your eating, to move a little bit more, 
to attend meetings even though schedules are hectic and heating up, and to 
address the causes and not just the symptoms of eating too much this time of 
year? Will you come to the meetings this week? I bet you will because you're 
winners! 
See you then, and yes, there IS a meeting in Superior 
on Columbus Day!--Zig

The Unhealthiest Thing You Do
Discover easy ways you can 
live a less sedentary lifestyle — starting now. 
Here's some serious news you shouldn't take sitting down: 
The more you sit, the greater your risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and 
other ailments.* Even if you work out for an hour every day, it's really the 
amount of time you spend sitting that has the biggest impact on your health. 
According to some estimates, the average American is sedentary for more than 
half the time they're awake — about 7.7 hours**.
In your meeting this week, you can participate in an 
activity that explores how much time you spend seated and gives you a chance to 
practice this month's Routine: Walk at least 5 minutes each hour. You'll 
also have an opprtunity to chat with other members about how you think activity 
impacts your progress. For example, at times you might feel like healthy eating 
alone will get you to your goals. But as you'll discuss in your meeting, eating 
well is only part of the story.
Discover 6 ways to turn seated moments into active 
movements
- Use an alarm on your smartphone to remind you to get up from your desk and move every hour.
- Need to consult with a coworker? Opt for a standing meeting. Or invite him or her for a walk around the office.
- Do laps around the room at home while you talk on the phone.
- Get off the couch during commercials and lift weights, do lunges or march in place.
- Instead of a board game, challenge your kids to something active like Simon Says, charades or a Wii Sports game.
- Cheer on your kid's team while walking along the sidelines rather than sitting in the bleachers or on a lawn chair.

Who's Ready to Tailgate?
Score big in the stadium 
lot — or your own family room — with healthier eats.
Half the fun of watching the big game is getting together 
with friends and family and eating and drinking your way through the whole 
thing. But too often, grazing your way through a three-hour game can seriously 
compromise your healthy-eating efforts.
Whether you pack up the car and bring your pregame party 
to the parking lot, or approximate a great American tailgate in the comforts of 
your own home, we’ve got all you need: healthy and hearty recipes, cool gear and 
gadgets and tips on how to enjoy yourself while staying on 
Plan.
Lighten Up Parking-Lot Classics
The top 10 Hall of Fame tailgating foods — and how to 
make them healthier.
There’s no point in tailgating if you’re not doing it big. You want big 
flavors and big tastes, all in the classic dishes. You just don't want to blow 
your week's worth of PointsPlus values in one afternoon. So 
here are the top 10 tailgating classics done the right (light) way. 
Pulled pork 
With this slow-cooker version, use the meat from high on 
the loin, rather than off the shoulders and butt.The night before, throw a 
3-pound trimmed pork loin in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, then dump in an 
18-ounce bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce. Secure the lid and cook on low 
for 8 to 10 hours. The next morning, shred the meat with two forks right in the 
pot — which you can bring to the game. Serve with jarred pickle relish or 
jalapeño rings on whole-wheat buns. 
Burgers 
Step away from the ground chuck. Go for the leaner stuff, 
like 90% lean (or higher) ground beef. Better yet, have the butcher trim a 
sirloin and grind it for you. To keep these leaner burgers moist, for every 
pound of ground meat, grind 6 ounces mushrooms in a food processor until they 
make a coarse paste. Mix with the meat along with some Worcestershire sauce and 
Dijon mustard. Form into patties and grill. 
Brat subs 
Turkey brats are a healthier, leaner alternative to the 
usual larded brats. Split the turkey brats down the middle, then char them on 
all sides over the fire. Slip them into toasted whole-wheat buns — and top with 
jarred roasted red peppers, jarred pickled onions, bagged shredded carrots, and 
mustard. 
Wings 
Just three wings rack up 9 PointsPlus values. 
But not to worry. We’ve got an even tastier version. Marinate 1 pound of chicken 
tenders in 1/4 cup jarred wing sauce for 30 minutes. Thread those tenders on 
sticks and grill directly over the fire. No spongy skin, no mess — plus the 
great taste of the grill. 
Nachos 
Here are the tricks to make them healthier — and more 
flavorful, too. First, make your own refried beans. Dump a drained 15-ounce can 
of pinto beans in a food processor with 1 canned chipotle chili in adobo sauce, 
2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1 
teaspoon minced garlic. Whir it up and smear it on whole-wheat pita chips on a 
baking sheet. Bring on the veggies, too — lots of diced red bell pepper, celery 
and shredded carrots, dolloped with salsa, and top with 1/2 cup shredded lowfat 
cheddar. Broil until cheese melts. 
Chili 
This new take on chili doesn’t sacrifice taste and pumps up 
the veggies. First, spray a large pot with nonstick spray and set over 
medium-high heat. Add 1 pound diced, trimmed bottom-round beef, 2 cups bell 
pepper strips, and 1 cup chopped onions. Stir over the heat until the meat is 
brown, about 10 minutes. Now add two 15-ounce cans drained and rinsed pinto 
beans, one 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, 1 cup frozen corn kernels, 1/2 cup 
reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon 
ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring it all to a simmer, then reduce the 
heat to low and simmer until the meat is tender, stirring often, about 30 
minutes. Bring along some garnishes worth 0 PointsPlus values: 
minced scallions, cilantro leaves, and pickled jalapeño. 
Guacamole 
What’s tailgating without a classic dipper like this? 
Here’s a way to get that great, rich taste of avocados without spending a meal’s 
worth of PointsPlus values on a couple spoonfuls of dip. Mash 1 cup frozen, 
thawed peas in a big bowl with the back of a fork. Mash in 2 peeled and pitted 
avocados with that fork. Stir in 1 diced tomato, 2 minced scallions, 1 
tablespoon lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several 
dashes of hot red pepper sauce. Done. Except for one more thing. Peeled avocado 
can oxidize and turn brown very quickly. Keep this guac green by pressing a 
sheet of plastic wrap right onto the top of the dip in the bowl before 
refrigerating it. 
Quesadillas 
There’s nothing like melted cheese to ruin a healthy eating 
plan. So don’t let too much smear your team spirit. Use just 1/2 ounce shredded 
cheese. Sprinkle it on a whole-wheat tortilla. Add lots of diced veggies: 
chopped jarred roasted red peppers, thinly sliced red onion, thinly sliced 
radishes, thawed frozen corn kernels, peeled and pitted mangoes, shredded 
carrots and/or shredded apple. Fold the tortilla over and griddle or grill until 
lightly browned and irresistible. You could even set up bowls of the filling and 
let everyone build their own. 
Potato salad 
Steam 1 pound of small, quartered, yellow-fleshed potatoes 
until tender. Toss with 1 pound thawed, frozen stir-fry-style vegetables, 2 cups 
shredded skinless rotisserie chicken-breast meat, and 1/2 cup bottled lowfat 
sesame-ginger dressing. Bang, an Asian potato salad. Kiss that gloppy, 
mayo-laden stuff good-bye. 
Chocolate ice cream 
Make this easy hybrid dessert, a cross between pudding and 
ice cream. Mix all this in a food processor up to two days in advance: 1 chopped 
banana, one 12-ounce package silken firm tofu (like Mori-Nu), 5 tablespoons 
cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. 
Process it, then scrape it into a bowl, cover, and chill for at least 12 hours. 
Scoop into small sugar cones and serve. 
BAD 
WEATHER: 
If there will be a meeting cancellation due to SNOW, etc., please stay tuned to 
NTV or KHAS-TV. I will call them to announce a meeting cancellation by 3 P.M. for Superior...and as early 
as I can (or the night before) for Hastings Saturday morning meetings. You can 
also log on to their websites where they have weather closings. 
You 
can also call the Weight Watchers' 800 number to find out if we are having a 
meeting.

Skinny Dipping
Tasty ways to lighten up 
your dips.
One of the most fun ways to eat food is to dip it: chips, veggies, even 
burgers. But, although we’ve all heard about the horrors of double dipping, the 
true crime isn’t in the dipping. It’s in the dip.
A naked chip or a plain bag of baby carrots can get boring quickly. But plunge those straight forward dippers into a bowl of creamy French onion or ranch, and soon the bag will be empty. Laden with fat, sugar, and calories, it’s the dip itself that makes it tough to stick to a healthy eating plan. Unless you try one of these easy skinny-dipping ideas:
For more hearty dipping ideas, just look to canned beans, jarred peppers, and your food processor:

How To Cook Healthy When You Are 
Single
I happen to love it when people send me questions that I can 
attempt to answer. Do I always know the answer? No, but I love a challenge.
This e-mail came from Malvin:
As a retired Military Officer, Widowed & Single, I like to 
get more information on: Foods for Widowed & Single advanced in age people 
like myself. I find it not so easy to go shopping and buy food(s) for a single 
person.
I can’t help but want to try and help him. As I try to put myself 
in his shoes, I am amazed at how hard it can be to buy a small amount of food. 
Have you seen a bag of chips at Costco?
But, Malvin doesn’t want to buy chips. He wants to be healthy or 
he wouldn’t be reading Snack Girl. Here are some ideas for the single shopper 
and home cook:
- Buy salmon from the frozen section. The fish is in pre-portioned sizes so you don’t have to thaw more than you need. Then, try this recipe: Healthy Fast Food For Nights You Don’t Have Time To Cook.
- Buy a salad spinner and pre-wash a head of lettuce. Store the lettuce in a plastic container and use it as you go - check out this post: The Easiest Way To Make Salad Part of Every Day
- Make some main dishes and freeze smaller portions. You have to be sure that these meals will freeze well. I ALWAYS have some chili in my freezer ready for a quick meal. Try making the pumpkin chili that I featured earlier this month.
- Buy some healthier frozen meals for nights when you can’t stand to cook. This post: The Best Packaged Frozen Meals For Dieters has a great discussion on the healthiest brands and meals in the frozen section. I learned a lot when I read the comments. Give a few a try.
- Make meals with snacks. Many of my readers put together a few of my super easy snacks for dinner. I know it sounds crazy but they write and tell me this is what they eat. Roast some cauliflower, make a english muffin pizza and you have dinner.

Pumpkin Smash 
Smoothie
2 cups fat-free vanilla frozen 
yogurt, see shopping tip
½ cup canned pumpkin
1 cup light vanilla soy milk, I used 
Silk brand, or reduced-fat milk
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups ice
1. In a blender, add all the 
ingredients. Blend on high until smooth.
2. Divide smoothie among 2 tall 
glasses.
Makes 2-16 oz smoothies or 4-8 oz (1 
cup) servings
Shopping Tip
I used fat-free frozen yogurt from my local yogurt shop
Storage Tip
Store leftover canned pumpkin in a plastic container in the fridge. It will keep for several days and you’ll surely want to make this smoothie again.
Freezing is another good way to 
preserve leftover pumpkin. You should never freeze canned goods inside the can, 
but you can easily freeze canned 
pumpkin once you remove it from the can. Store it in a plastic container or 
freezer bag.
