"As a kid, you could easily average seven hours a week playing tag or riding bikes- sans fitness trackers or weight loss apps. You didn't roll your eyes when teachers called for recess.

Lately I have been feeling a bit down on myself. I has been 4 years since I started my weight loss journey and I think I forget to realize that part of the struggle for me is being able to maintain.

I reached the weight by working really hard and being ridiculously structured in my diet. The level of diligence IRead More0 Comments

I work 3 jobs and do not have a lot of time to cook. Using my Crock Pot has made life much easier and on these super chilly days it is the best way to warm up! I saw this recipe on one of my favorite websites, Skinny Taste (www.skinnytaste.com) and had to try it. This was ridiculously easy to make. It had very few ingredients and barely any preparation. The aroma coming outRead More1 Comments

A lot of previous Weight Watchers subscribers have asked me what is the big difference in Weight Watchers 360. The PointsPlus system is the same. The main addition is two things; routines and spaces. I wanted to touch on routines because this is a simple concept that can make a huge difference. For example, I have been only taking the stairs at work and I earned 3 activity points just in walking betweenRead More0 Comments
