Thanks a lot, Dave!! LOL <br />Seriously though, in answer to the main question in your post, I am spending as much time as possible outdoors doing physical activities--either gardening, or swimming, or chasing my kids/dogs/combination of the above around. I'm also grilling healthy dinners as often as humanly possible, which would be easier if it weren't basically fall weather here in NY! I'm also being very, very careful about alcohol intake, which for me is easy to rack up points on during the summer--two beers is great, so isn't four much better? Nope.Cynthia Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915663773059643299.post-78441942187215342512010-06-05T13:21:42.616-04:002010-06-05T13:21:42.616-04:00Hello - Just wanted to agree with Liz that there a...Hello - Just wanted to agree with Liz that there are some issues with the new WW site that need to be addressed. In particular, it is much more difficult now to determine if a community member has his/her own blog. If someone writes a particularly insightful post on a message board or on another user's blog, I often check to see if they write their own blog. But this is really difficult with the new community site. As someone who is active in the blogging world, I'm sure you can appreciate this concern. Thanks for listening!

I have a fruit basket on the table, oatmeal on hand, and Cystal Light Pure Fitness. I track everyday, despite being buzy with my job, taking care of my physically disabled husband, sister who is developmentally disabled, and babysit grand kids.

A few that come to mind are a) the Weekly mini-magazine handed out at the meetings, b) having a human spokesperson, & c) the newest books and cookbooks. I have had a great experience as a member and have found many things about your company that I really enjoy. There is a great difficulty, however, finding a way to contact a human being regarding the user interface for the online community. Sending an email and then receiving an automated electronic answer that clearly does not address the concern is very unsatisfactory to me as the consumer. Is there someone within your organization whose job description includes receiving authentic feedback from actual users of the site? I have multitudes of friends and contacts within the community who would like to offer a review of the updated version. I apologize for posting this question here, but I cannot see another recourse and I thought you would appreciate knowing that there is a growing level of concern and dissatisfaction among customers of the eTools who rely on the other online resources.

Also, we get produce from a CSA so every week I get a few bags of produce that I need to use up. This lends itself to healthy eating. I find the socializing part the hardest, especially at picnics/dinners in which I am not in charge of the food. Really hard to eat a filling meal that won't blow your points when you're surrounded by only high point foods.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271305823998497023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915663773059643299.post-75817318310298692632010-06-03T16:47:42.877-04:002010-06-03T16:47:42.877-04:00i'm thinking of hanging around my house in bik...i'm thinking of hanging around my house in bikinis all summer - because i don't think i'm going to want to snack while staring at my excess lbs (and my husband will love it). also, keeping my gym routine - even upping it, and lots of salads (which thankfully, i enjoy eating).Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915663773059643299.post-73653177715022226002010-06-03T15:52:16.538-04:002010-06-03T15:52:16.538-04:00Beverly said :::: I buy diet cranbury juice 5cal ...Beverly said :::: I buy diet cranbury juice 5cal 8oz,,,,a few ice cubes,,,one are two strawberrys,,i pineapple slice,,,and blend,,,,its is so good, while everyone eles are haveing their ice cream are drinks im haveing mineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915663773059643299.post-81905656188035139442010-06-03T15:51:51.357-04:002010-06-03T15:51:51.357-04:00I attend my weekly WW meeting and weigh in which k...I attend my weekly WW meeting and weigh in which keeps me accountable and on track.
