We’re proud to announce that our resident yoga expert, Heather Ashare, will be hosting a yoga for bloggers session at the FitBloggin’ ‘10 conference. The conference is a gathering of fitness and wellness bloggers from around the country, and this hour-long session will be just what they need to kick-off a weekend of learning and networking. 
If you’re attending the conference, you can expect:
A fun and energetic yoga class specifically designed for bloggers and writers whose passion for sharing their expertise as health advocates finds them sitting behind computers for way too long. With a focus on posture, shoulder alignment, and lower back strength, the class will raise heart rates, stretch hamstrings and lighten the mind. All levels are welcome.

Being someone who writes about weight loss and healthy eating for a living, I cringe when I feel the need to to use the word ‘lifestyle‘. It’s fast becoming an over-used, over-marketed term to describe how to successfully lose weight.
I know this. Yet, every time I need to describe the changes that must happen for one to successfully lose, I can’t fight it. The word somehow finds it way to the paper. And as I proofread my own articles I visualize all of the eye rolling that will happen when it gets read.
Don’t deny it. You’ve done the pre-mentioned *eye roll*. Thinking to yourself “Ugh here’s that LIFESTYLE thing again.” But you don’t want to change. You like to go out with friends, order pizza for the family on a Friday night, and enjoy popcorn with butter at the movies. You also loathe the gym and have no time to exercise anyway. You LIKE your lifestyle. It fits you… probably better then your jeans.

I’ve tried everything from Atkins to the Zone to lose weight. In between there was the grapefruit diet, the Negative Calorie plan, Xenadrine, Phentermine, low-carb, no carb, no fat, fasting, you name it, I tried it. Nothing seemed to work. My weight fluctuated as much as 50 pounds throughout my 20s.
At age 29, after the birth of my son, I discovered Weight Watchers. I walked through the door desperate to get a hold on this weight issue thing and put the yo-yo dieting behind me forever.
To my surprise it worked!

Wonton Pizza Bites by Roni
I admit it. I’m a appetizer-holic. I love them. From the first bite of the cheesy, greasy mozzarella stick to the last salty crispy crunch of stuffed potatoes skins, I always thought appetizers were actually better then the meals themselves. I’d routinely get the “sampler” at Denny’s and don’t get me started about the recent tapas craze here in Baltimore.
So what’s a girl to do? Is it possible to live a healthier slimmer life and still get in my finger food fix?
Of course it is!

We’re ringing in the new year with a good friend, Roni from RonisWeigh. You’ll recall she recently took runner-up for Best Diet Blog and her site GreenLiteBites won Best Healthy Recipe site category in our first Diet Site Awards. Today, Roni guest blogs about what a day is life for her as a Weight Watchers follower.
Hi, my name’s Roni and I’m a Weight Watcher.
Sounds cheesy, doesn’t it?
Well, it’s true! Never in a million years would I have thought to describe myself as a member of one of the more popular weight loss plans out there. I was a serial dieter. A yo-yo’er. I conceded to the fact that I would never be happy with my body. It was just the way it was.
