I just realized that the receptionist at my WW meeting made an error in my weigh-in book – I actually lost 2.4 lbs this week, not 2.2, for a total loss of 71 lbs, not 70.8.

Marni R.
Oh how I LOVE pita bread and pita chips. I buy our pita bread at the local HALA store, up the road, for $1.75 for a package of 6 (what a steal!).

I do enjoy making my own pita chips with the pita bread and serv ...

Stopping to Take a Breath
by
Molly Murphy
Have you ever just stopped, taken a breath, and wondered what just happened? Yeah, I do that a lot.
