I love eggplant and was excited to see this recipe when I was going through the Celebrity Fit Club recipe list. I was intrigued that you cooked the eggplant in the oven, then peeled and diced it up. This was similar to how the squash was done in the Weight Watcher’s Curry-Apple Butternut Squash Salad. [...]
(For more Five Things/Ways advice articles, click here.) The official start of the holiday eating season – Halloween – arrives this week. It’s an especially trying time for those trying to lose weight and eat healthy. Even if you’re skinny, you don’t need that extra sugar and corn syrup – it’s just not good for [...]
For some reason, I’ve been getting Weight Watcher’s e-newsletter. I’m guessing it’s because I used to be an online member and they want me back. How nice of them. (You can sign up for the newsletter here. They have great recipes for anyone trying to lose weight or eat healthy.) I love making butternut squash [...]
This is a recipe that you need a lot of lead time for as it takes over 45 minutes to cook. However, it was worth it – not only was the dish yummy but it was very satisfying (must be all that protein). If you’re doing Weight Watchers, this recipe has only 3 POINTS because [...]

My apologies for not posting more and missing last week’s weigh in. But the knee is still screwed up and after going into town twice to see two different doctors, I’m going to have surgery on November 29th to fix it. (Why the delay? Between my husband’s two hunting trips, my trip to Vegas for [...]

Today is Blog Action Day where bloggers are uniting to post about the environment. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future. What better place to start than in the home? Do you use grandma’s old dishware during the holidays? Or are you like me and have a vintage set (mine are [...]
I’m excited to present today’s interview with Jena la Flamme. She’s the founder of Jena Wellness, a holistic health center in NYC that offers nutritional and lifestyle counseling, bodywork, private yoga, as well as seminars and corporate wellness programs. Jena Wellness integrates Eastern traditions and cutting-edge Western nutrition perspectives with their clients’ need for a [...]
After participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event for the last two years, I see more and more in my small community people diagnosed, dying and (thank goodness) surviving cancer. Just in my children’s school community (300+ students) we’ve lost a kindergartner and a dad to brain cancer, and one of our [...]
(For more Five Things/Ways advice articles, click here.) We’re barely into October and I’ve already received my first request for bake sale and cake walk goodies. After making cookies for a playgroup a couple of weeks ago – and eating too many – I thought I’d come up for some strategies for staying on my [...]
SNAFU – Situation Normal All F*cked Up. I’ve injured myself once again, the third time since I’ve started the Extreme Fat Smash Diet. What is wrong with me? Another boo-boo I had thought I was nearly healed from July’s knee injury, so I ventured out to a light aerobics and stretching class with my mom’s [...]
Well, it’s Wednesday and I usually post on Sunday with my weekly weigh in. As you can see, I’ve done everything I can to delay reporting in. I didn’t have a good week, and now I wish I had one of those Weight Watcher’s "free passes" where they let you skip a week’s weigh in. [...]
