People laugh at me sometimes at how careful I am with tracking my calories (i.e. pulling out the measuring cup, tracking every bite I eat). But I find that when I slack off and stop tracking my calories, the weight sneaks up on me again. A couple of years ago I did Weight Watchers online and had good results from it. So…

I gained about 40 pounds during both pregnancies, way back in the mid to late 90's (my kids are now 12 and 15). I dropped the weight after each one, but still had the tummy issue.

Today, I burned 189 calories, according to the game. It was my first try with the game, and so far so good. I think it helps a lot if…

And then there's always Supersize Me. My daughter, a high school freshman, just watched that movie in health class at school, and swore off McDonald's...for about a week. Now she says she's fine with it :-P

I was teeny tiny in high school--weighed around 90 lbs when I graduated. This is no longer the case--like my parents told me, I'd someday reach the age where I couldn't just eat whatever I wanted! Back then (1986), I told them I'd cross that bridge when I came to it. Which I am now doing...
