For those who have eaten there, what was your favorite sushi roll? What is something that I absolutely shouldn't miss?

We got the Olympus TG-3. It's 16 megapixels, shock proof to 7 feet (that was important because we have 2 young kids and I'm a bit of a clutz), it's also waterproof to 50 feet. It's small enough to be a good everyday point-and-click and the underwater photos and video came out beautifully clear. It's easily one of the best investments in a camera we've made.

As a side note, it's also got a handful of photo filters on it that you can apply before shooting and my 6 year old thought that was just the greatest thing ever. He put sparkles on every photo he took. lol

The very basic info is that using the online program, you enter your current information (weight, exercise, etc) and it tells you how many points plus you have available for the day. Then you track your food - each food has a points plus value. You can eat whatever you want as long as you track the points plus for it. You can earn more points plus by exercising and you have several points plus given to you to spend through out the week however you want - all on one day, over several days, not at all - whatever works for you.

There's also a Simple Start/Core or whatever they're calling it these days. Basically with that, you have a list of foods that are "Power foods" they're designated on the online program with a green triangle or diamond. If you follow this plan, you can eat however much of these power foods until you are satisfied. It's a good idea to track it, but it's not necessary. You also have a few points plus that you can use on non-power food choices.

The biggest thing is that you need to keep yourself accountable. Most people do that by tracking their food, regardless of which plan option they choose. If you're online only, there are a few options now for personal coaches, forum boards, etc that you can utilize to help keep yourself accountable and motivated without attending meetings.

If you can keep up with the program, it's worth the money. You do have to work the program in order to lose weight, but as long as you keep going with it, it works.

My mother-in-law made some for our doors on our cruise this past summer. She actually made a print out and then stuck it on a sheet magnet to hang it up with.

I'm on WW also. I've got 50 pounds to lose before my next cruise. Luckily it's in December, so I have a whole year.
