19 points

That's my new daily Weight Watcher point intake. Of course, I won't know how to count points until my book arrives. Funny how I expected that information to be available on-line, once I paid the money to join. Oh well...

After nearly 20 pounds in two years, I've given up trying to do it on my own. I joined Weight Watchers on-line. (That means I don't go to meetings. Who has time for that??)

My book should arrive in a week and then I can legitimately start the program. I'll let you know how it goes. I was tempted to try a more idiot-proof program with pre-packaged foods, like Jenny Craig or NutriSystem. However, a close friend swears by WW, so I'm giving it a try. I hope I can keep up with the counting, record-keeping, portion measuring, etc. I tend to quickly lose interest in stuff that requires too much administration.

I'll keep you posted.
