[You don't have to be IN Weightwatchers to use these good tips! Dot]

20 weight-loss tips (from real meeting-goers!) Wow, what our members know! Meetings and message boards can be a great resource for information you can really use: What should I eat? What steps in the program should I never skip? How do other members find a way to fit in exercise? That's why we did a poll - real advice from real members. Pay attention, print it up and post it on your refrigerator. This is how other Weight Watchers members are finding success.
