To Write or Not to Write!

Hi Everyone!

What a beautiful day it is! I sure love the sun!!! I hope everyone is having a great St. Patrick's day!

There have been an few members who have asked me about alcohol and POINT values. While I have pretty much no practical advice, accept, be sure to track your POINT values, I did run across this article at WeightWatchers.com that might be helpful.
