Patti - Hey! At 5'7" I am not exactly short, you know! Yes, weight watchers was a lot easier when the problem was just overall calories. Just makes me mad that I do these brutal workouts and then I can't put the nutrition side together with it to get the amazing results I could get. BTW, when will you be arriving for the road trip? I am not signed up, but will be there for the dinner on Thursday Night to catch up with friends.
