i soooo love my fitness pal as well Tonya.. i've never been on ww to know the similarity, but love how easy it is to use.. my phone is still smarter than me right now, i haven't had it long, but that was the first app i went to look for when i got it..It's so handy having it on my cell , because my cell comes with me everywhere.. Sure beats carrying a daily journal with me everywhere now.

i haven't used it in a few days, though! Thanks for the reminder.. ♥

It was time to do damage control... so I got on the scale. Out of the 27 pounds that I had lost I had gained back 10. "The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step".

With meals this week, I've started trying to incorporate more fruits AND veggies into every single meal. I've been giving myself a refresher course in portion control and brought back out the pretty, smaller plates (that kinda trick my my brain into thinking I'm eating a plate full of food

With every dinner I am eating a large salad (kinda like Jo does). I've added more fish & seafood to my mealplans... and more protein. I boiled up a few eggs to throw into salads or to eat with a slice of toast on my way to work in the morning.

So here we go again.

I am so very happy to see so much continued success here... y'all are definitely amazing & have worked so very hard at keeping the motivation & inspiration alive & well! Keep up the amazing work!

Downloaded the app this morning!! So far, I'm diggin' it!

Pinkie, you hit the nail on the head with WW and me!!! I, too, started trying to figure out how I could work my points so that I could "sneak in" whatever I wanted.

I'm enjoying my new exercises, and I've gotten back out on the land doing some physical labor; those things are good for me--body and soul!

Here's to new efforts!!
