So— bear with me, this starts off as a downer but ends on (hopefully) an up note.

Well folks, I had a baby this week. 10 days before her due date, actually. Labor was extremely fast (less than 1.5 hours from start to finish) and we BARELY made it to the hospital (I seriously almost had her in the car), partly because we had to wait 20 min for my mother in law to show up from SIX BLOCKS away to…

I highly recommend it. But go into it with the mindset that this is going to be the rest of your life. You’re not going on a diet and then going to stop it. They are putting a lot of emphasis on exercise too, which is great because it really helps me too mentally. No pill has done for me what exercise has. Depression,…

I lost 60lbs gained 12 lbs back, I basically lost all that weight thanks to WW, but I never officially joined just used turbo point system and worked out, how do you use WW, do you go to meetings? Use the app? I want to get back to where i was bc yeah I want to lose the weight  but I felt so much better mentally when…

The Bezos Texts/pictures were leaked to the National Enquirer because they love Trump and Trump hates Bezos. I think that angle needs to be the focus rather than what Bezos looks like. The fact that a sitting president is using his influence to facilitate a stupid vendetta is very unsettling to say the least.

No. You don’t share your boyfriend’s dick pics with your friends. I don't care how close friends you are, you just don't. That's weird on so many levels.

Congratulations. That is a great achievement and I am happy for you. It feels good to gain back control of your body.

Yes, thank you. It gives you the tools to manage your health for the rest of your life. So, so many people have no idea what an actual portion size looks like, for example. You learn about nutrition and balance and this becomes part of your lifestyle for the rest of your life. That is what separates it from a diet.

I don’t get the cynicism about it at all either. It teaches people about nutrition, portion control, and other skills that one will use through out their life. Most people are stunned when they learn what a serving of chicken actually looks like, for example. Eating healthy and being aware of what you are eating is…

You can go on any diet and lose weight. I’ve been on all of them. But to keep it off and maintain the loss, you have to adjust so much more. Mindset, lifestyle, etc. And that is what they teach you to do. 

Points have evolved over the years. They are less calorie-dependant than they have ever been. There are MANY foods that are zero points - healthy foods that are definitely not calorie free, that the program steers you towards eating while still leaving it entirely up to you what you choose to eat. (Most vegetables,…

I lost 70 pounds on Weight Watchers and have kept most of it off for the better part of 10 years.

I have been on WW for a little over a year myself.  I came to the program because my overall relationship with food and exercise was toxic, with a large thanks to watching my mom struggle with anorexia and bulemia.  For the first time in my life I am able to maintain a healthy weight and not abuse food and my body. …

Yeah, I don’t really understand why Maria Sherman is shitting all over someone promoting a healthy attitude and speaking legitimate advice.

I think this is an interesting take - and I agree. When the goal is fitness and better overall health, it’s probably easier to eat healthier food because you’re not waging a war over dieting or failing to diet... 

Congratulations!

I’ve been on Weight Watchers (WW) for years and she is right, it is a lifestyle. And one that saved my life.

I’m kind of on board with using Kate Hudson for this because it’s not following the narrative of “I lost 100 pounds and now I can begin my life!” I don’t approve of diet culture, but I used Weight Watchers in high school and it was a lot better than all those awful fucking fad diets my mom and aunts and sometimes I…

WJLA points out that while many people might vacuum the bugs or simply burn their home to ground, Kreuze has done no such thing. A veterinarian, she has instead been feeding them fruit flies (!) and hopes to hand them off to someone who actually wants them,
