Feeling hungry?



I'm coming up on my first anniversary with Weight Watchers. I'm down 40 pounds and feeling great. One great resource I've enjoyed is the Hungry Girl site. She sends out a daily newsletter with product reviews and skinny-ed down recipes that give WW points. She also has a show on the Food Network and has published some great cookbooks.
