Day 346 Sunday... our usual weigh-in day (we are all on Weight Watchers) and one meal out a week (and off the diet)... We're all doing well, Heleen has lost 27 lbs, Beth has lost about 13-14 and I have lost 34 or so... Kudos to WW, this point stuff really seems to work... gets rid of the oversized meals and all the snacking we used to do...
