Great idea! Our own Netflix for BL!  There are always solutions when we're willing to help each other out - brilliant!

It would be great if they would let you have a 10 day free trial without having to pay something first, then you would have the choice to join or not join.

I totally agree ehyatt, it seems like everytime you turn around it's more money. Talk about discouraging in it's own right

Mo Money
It is so expensive to try to lose weight and exercise! What a scam! I went to the grocery store and fat free or 2% cheese is a dollar more than the regular kind. This is just not fair! No wonder there is an obesity problem in America, they don't pay us enough to be skinny!

I know what you mean. It is difficult paying the extra amount of money but it is worth it in the long run. This is what I am learning - I may have to pay a little extra to stay healthy - it's worth it!

I also can't believe how some take advantage of those trying to lose weight. I was in the store last night and I saw a little package of weight watchers candy (that weren't cheap that trhe serving size was one candy (I can't remember the calories - but I know one piece of candy was 1 point (weight watcher lingo)... I could spend as much money on a whole bag of hershey kisses and have 5 kisses for one point.

Weight lose I think can't be the biggest scam industry out there, those of us that strive for it, more than likely have problems accomplishing it in the past and will do and try almost anything to achieve that ""perfect body" Marketing companies know it and they market to it, even to the point of lying at times and the drives me nuts because when the real thing does come along you don't know if you should trust it or not.

Tammy I couldn't agree more! I'm sure I have spent $1000s of dollars on weight watcher meetings, the latest books, the latest workout videos, slim fast, adkins products, weight watcher products. When all I really need to do is eat right and exercise. Sometimes I look for the get slim quick scheme and forget that I didn't gain this weight overnight so I'm not going to lose it all over night.

I totally agree Nicky! There is no quick fix. It's all about changing your habits.

This is true, just go for healthy and toss the gimicks to the side. I am still going to get upset everytime I spend more for a fat free item, but I will focus and just getting more veggies and items like fish, chicken and turkey.

I agree Elizabeth, I grumble when I have to spend more for something just cause it's fat free - but I'd rather be alittle lighter in the wallet knowing it's helping me be lighter everywhere else
