So Here ya go Nicole... THANK YOU for the idea!! Loved it!!

Weight Loss [for most] doesn't come easily. I know for me it didnt.
@ 119lbs I am 4lbs away from the smallest I have ever been (I was 115 for a short time in 06). Total I have dropped 66lbs.
It wasn't easy by any means. But I have such a small frame & I have always been very active in dance, C/WGuard & soccer & what not, that keeping that much weight on was horrible. Unhealthy even.
Granted 35 of it was "baby weight" -- yes I only gained 35lbs (which is normal... My Doc was pleased) but the rest was weight I put on b/c I let GD control me. He liked his women thick...nuff said.
After I gave birth to my beautiful daughter I was determined to loose ALL the weight. A healthy but efficient way.
So after doing A LOT of research I went back to ole faithful: Weight Watchers.
Two weeks after E was born I re-joined. I had lost about 13lbs back in 05 after putting on some weight in college & it was effecting my dancing.
I stuck to the plan- very strictly & took E on nightly walks; Thats all the exercise I was allowed to do at the time. Then when I hit 6wks postpartum and got the "All Clear" to start working out from my OB I started slow.
I did some Wii Fit & Another Wii aerobics thing . That helped more then ppl think. Then I took my stepdads "spot" with my parents trainer. My stepdad got sick then he got a hernia and totally couldnt workout with weights. I only worked out w.Ric for 30 min sessions. Sometimes twice a week but usually it was only once a week. I also rollerbladed behind the stroller.
So for those of you who think you have to do it daily. I am proof that you don't have too.
If you just make a conscious effort to park a little farther from the store entrance... Take the stairs (I get this times 5, bc of the stairs in my home) & watch what you eat. Portions & filling food help.
I took the "Slow & Steady" route. It took me about a yr to loose (& keep it off) the weight. I occasionally workout with Ric but not like before.
WEIGHT WATCHERS is designed to work with or without "hard-core" exercise. Plainly it WORKS. Go to the meetings- there are soo many locations & times I know you will find one that works for you. You can eat basically anything you want- just track your points. Its so easy.
I am still on weight watchers in a few weeks I will be what is considered "LifeTime" where I get the membership for free. Its very much a part of my life, its like second nature. I am keeping the weight off b/c I am still very much dedicated to WW & I see the final "product" everyday when I look in the mirror and when I slip into my size 4 jeans.
Thats ALL the proof I need that I made the right decision [for me] to re-join WW.
