My best friend used to be overweight and all she had to do was sit ups and push ups to get rid of hers... I know this is true cause her Grandmother wouldn't let her get a gym pass or really leave the house except for school. Her Grandma was old school Italian... or i should say Old Country Italian... wonderful lady though!
But I always hear, sit ups and crunchs don't do anything... and bla bla bla... and I'm like... well they did before your miracle product came along...
I'm thinking of getting one of those balance balls... so that when I'm on the computer I can sit on that and improve my posture. I know those work... and as for weights I'll start with resistance bands...

And we keep growing!!
Someone from my ww shared this recipe and sometimes when I need something satisfying and good, I allow 250 calories for this awesome snack.
Heat 1 Tbsp peanut butter in microwave for 20 seconds. Add 2 Tbsp Cool Whip. Chop one small apple and one sliced banana and add to mix. Taste great!!

Good Job everyone!
For some reason I stopped getting the emails with updates. Hopefully my comment will get me connected again.
I'm home with snow day #6 and you have just inspired me to get my ^&* off the couch and get on the treadmill.
bye for now!

It has been a slow loss, about 8 pounds a month, but it has been the best "diet" I've been on. Need to lose more, so I will be coming back here for encouragement and to give encouragement to others.

I wonder how many points that is. Sounds really good. I am on the point system - do you think it is around 4?

Carolevidak: It sounds like it is about 4 points, if you were to eat all of it all yourself and use the low fat Cool Whip. I am going to try this with DH tonight. He and I could share it, and then it would only be a 2 point snack.
I have really been suffering from night cravings lately too. I am usually pretty low on points by that time. Since I have been losing weight, I have been losing points too. Which isn't much of a reward, is it? Sorry I just felt like whining about that to someone who may understand. I am looking for healthy snacks if I am going to go over my points, it has to be something that tastes good and is healthy too. This may be a perfect choice.
