ha yah its funny chelle i feel like not bad looking at home (where its -17C today! thats ONE degree F!) but as soon as i go down there its like a whole nother world! i dont really care too much since i'm married and i know my dh isnt going anywhere but i get self conscious for some reason, and i find myself avoiding going to the pool and such, but normally i love doing that stuff, so yeah this year i want to be able to without feeling blah

Anyways sparkpeople is sorta like WW, except rather than points they just base it on calories. So far I find the meal plans pretty helpful, even if you dont stick to it exactly it gives you a good approximation of how many cals you should be aiming to eat in each meal.
yay phoenix!! good shopping there too.....i got my most fave pair of jeans from phoenix, Seven's in a petite size!! I gotta see if I can find them again because i've already had the bum patched in the ones I have!
