My husband and I joined Weight Watchers on January 4th, 2011 and knew that we would need to start cooking more at home if we were going to stick to the plan.  We each received a set number of food points to use each week. We tried making meal plans for two week periods before going ...

This post was written by Crystal Stemberger. I was hoping to have a huge update for you this week, but we went on a heck of a road trip the first weekend of August.  I knew eating on the road and at a Curling tournament on a diet would be tough, but I didn’t know how ...

This post was written by Crystal. It’s only been a couple of weeks since I gave you a general rundown of my weight loss journey so far, but they were a bad two weeks.  I didn’t keep up with my Weight Watchers points for most of July, so I did gain back a few pounds.  When ...
