Weight Watchers

Sep 28, 2003

Recently I have grown more and more concerned over what I eat and how much I eat. Nutritional value has never really interested me, but after some serious thought, I decided that I should probably start to learn how to eat healthier and how to moderate what I do eat. I thought it would be fun to track my first two weeks here with my friends at Suite 101. You'll be learning right along with me!

Join me as I learn more about the Weight Watcher Program and be sure to check out the delicious family friendly recipes I find throughout my Weight Watcher journey.
