Dining out - availability of nutritional information
So, I was talking to my mom yesterday and asked her if she'd consider putting nutritional info/WW points on the menu at her restaurant. We went back and forth about whether or not information available on the menu would: - make money - other restaurants have specific WW menus and/or lighter fare sections of the menu and…

Military thank you!

I want to thank all of those who are currently serving, those who have served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I'd be forgetting an important group of people if I didn't also…
