I did weight watchers in Oakland maybe 9 years ago and lost 20 pounds. I have lost weight here in France simply because there is not the culture of having something to eat all the time wherever you are. I would like to lose another 10 pounds, maybe I should try some of these sweets because in France there is a bakery on every corner and the sweets are not expensive. Either I forgoe them all and then have a fall and a binge or I try some of your recipes. We'll see.

I have been a member of weight watchers for about seven months and lost about 41 pounds and working on many more pounds to lose. Weight Watchers is a lifesaver for me and would not have it any other way. Thanks Weight Watchers!
