This week’s edition of Mailbag Monday is here!!! Nancy, our very own Bacardi Mama, made the decision to join Weight Watchers a couple of weeks ago, and she asked this question: I just started Weight Watchers and I was wondering if you had any special tips for me.

I’m no cook. I try, but really I’m more of a Preparer. Or a Combiner. Yeah. Combiner. That’s what I am. I like to find recipes with the fewest number of ingredients so that I have less of a chance to mess it up. Which is why this is one of my favorite recipes to [...]

**Originally posted by Crooked Eyebrow, January 2009** I am a huge English muffin fan. Whether we use them for homemade egg sandwiches or just for a light breakfast. Since I started to watch points and what I am eating, I almost felt like I was “wasting” points on bread. I don’t know about you, but [...]

Happy Halloween, everyone!! Saturdays are usually our day for product reviews, but I’m thinking today’s post is more along the lines of customer service. We all know that we should stay away from the Halloween candy as much as we can. It’s totally empty calories with absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever. Here are a few [...]

We all know how easy it is to get into a rut, and how many different types of ruts there are. There are diet ruts, exercise ruts, bad attitude ruts, injury ruts, and ‘I’m not losing any weight’ ruts. I think we’ve all been there and done those, right? The rut I’m currently in is [...]

I’m on day 2 of religiously tracking my points and entering them into Weight Watchers online. And you wanna know what? It feels GREAT! So empowering and important. I knew that if I could get back on track, it wouldn’t be so hard. So how are you doing? Do you track points? Have you fallen [...]

Can something this good only have 110 calories, no fat, and 7 grams of fiber per serving? The answer is YES it can. Meet The Alternative Bagel. And because these little babies pack such a punch of fiber, they’re only 1 Weight Watchers Point! How amazing is that? I don’t know about you, but I’m [...]

I am so very happy to have moved into the 140s this week. I feel like I’ve been running backwards for the past two months, and now I’ve finally taken a huge leap forward! I’ve been sitting here going over the past week in my mind and I want to make a note of what [...]

I have counted and logged every single piece of food I’ve eaten this week. I’ve actually been kinda OCD about it. The thing is, since I’m a chronic weigher, I just don’t see the weight coming off. It’s kinda depressing actually. I’m not looking for sympathy or help finding excuses or anything. I think it’s [...]
