Frederic Fekkai Customer Reviews
Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Salon Technician Color Care Shampoo - I have never spent this much money on hair products before but after the very first use I decided this product is worth the cost. I live in a dry climate and my hair is dyed - and was quite dried out. I used the shampoo and conditioner and the gloss cream & my hair had great bounce & shine - will keep faithful to this product!
Frederic Fekkai Classic Brush - I have fine limp hair and this hair brush gives it shine and volume. I never liked brushing my hair because I thought it looked flat but this hairbrush is amazing. I carry it with me everywhere. People have been telling me that my hair looks great and it's partly due to the hairbrush.
Frederic Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray - The best hairspray I've found in years. I've tried everything since Vidal Sasson Ultra Fine Mist Hairspray was discontinued several years ago and this is the first hairspray that works as well. Makes my hair feel thicker, you don't need to use a lot to hold a style, style is still brushable-not still, and it has a great scent. I can't say enough positive things about it. I would complain about the price, but I use so much less of this product than I do other hairsprays, I think the price is worth it.
Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Brilliant Glossing Cream - I just used this product and it is absolutely wonderful. I have greying hair, which can be very difficult to control, but this product not only delivered the shine I had wanted but my hair is much easier to manage. I am able to just blow it dry and still have shine and control. It brought back the vitality to my hair. Love it!
Frederic Fekkai Perfectly Luscious Curls Cream - Best hair product for my type of hair, it does not weigh it down. It texturizes my curls without being stiff, I will never use another product as long as it is still available.
Frederic Fekkai Advanced Essential Shea Shampoo - I really enjoy this product by F. Fekkai. It's very moisturizing to my scalp and my thick, coarse hair. It doesn't make my hair overly frizzy (or no more frizzy than usual), but it does help it a lot. I highly recommend this to anyone who has frizzy, dry hair or who has dry, itchy scalp.

Acadia Hospital Earns Accolades for Film, Mental Health Screening
Bangor, Me—Acadia recently received recognition for excellence regarding the film, The Road Back, and its involvement in National Depression Screening Day. A short feature film on adolescent anxiety and depression, The Road Back, produced by Acadia Hospital in conjunction with Project AWARE and Maine teens, was chosen by Healthline.com as one of the ten best depression videos of 2013. The movie, written and directed by Hermon High School Senior Faith Bishop, also won honors for Best Student Film at the Iowa Independent Film Festival.
Acadia Hospital Provides Old Town and Milford Schools with Mental Health Education
Adolescent mental health is an important, yet sometimes overlooked, aspect to a young person's overall well-being. Poor mental health can lead to social isolation, dropping grades, a loss of enjoyment in everyday activities, drug use, self-harm, and in rare instances, suicide.

Public Rooms
The most popular place on the ship, by day, was the pool area; once the sun went down, it was The Bar (another rather unimaginatively named room, but at least there's no doubt what goes on in there).
The Bar was always packed before dinner, busy afterwards and empty by about 11:30 p.m. with just a few stalwarts left. It's a shame because that was the time karaoke started, and there were just not enough people to make it work.
The Panorama Lounge is a comfortable place with views out the back, and there's a rather intimate observation lounge at the front of the ship with seating for just 34 people. There are a few books and games, and you can help yourself to tea and coffee. There were also two telescopes, but I could never see anything through them, so I suspect they were just for decoration.
The library is a lovely little room with a selection of books, newspapers and loads of DVD's if you fancy a quiet night in your suite. To the side is a small Internet cafe with six computer terminals. The ship (including the suites) is wired for Wi-Fi, which is so much more convenient if you have your own computer. Pay-as-you-go prices are 50 cents a minute, but the packages are a better value -- 100 minutes for $45, 250 minutes for $85 and 1,000 minutes for $250.
There's a small, rarely used casino -- four gaming tables and 15 slot machines -- and a couple of high-class boutiques: H Stern for jewellery and a general shop that sells all the usual logo wear, perfume, hats, bags and sunglasses -- all with designer names like Gucci, Versace and Seiko.
Deck 6 has a card room, as well as separate reception, concierge and tour desks.
After adding and taking away various suites during the refit, Silver Wind has been left with the same number of suites -- 143. These are a mix of oceanview, balcony and "super" suites. (Silver Wind has all-suite accommodations, so these are the very big rooms with extra amenities.) There are no inside cabins.
Cabin sizes range from 240 square feet (22 square metres) for the oceanview Vista Suites to 587 square feet (89 square metres) for the two Owner's Suites.
In between, there are Verandah Suites -- the same size as the Vista Suites, but with 50-square-foot (4.5-square-metre) balconies -- and the new Medallion Suites on Deck 8, which measure 490 square feet (45 square metres), including 125-square-foot (12-square-metre) balconies.
There is also one "original" Medallion Suite on Deck 7. This is very popular because it is so spacious -- 667 square feet (62 square metres) -- but it has no balcony.
Silver Suites are 541 square feet (50 square metres), including 92-square-foot (eight-square-metre) balconies.
There are two Royal Suites on Deck 6, measuring 736 square feet (69 square metres), including 126-square-foot (12-square-metre) balconies. There are also two Grand Suites that are 1,019 square feet (95 square metres) and include 145-square-foot (14-square-metre) balconies.
All suites have fully stocked mini-bars (drinks included in the price), flat-screen TV's and DVD players, hair dryers, marble bathrooms with showers and full-size baths, a choice of Bulgari or Acqua di Palma toiletries, bathrobes and slippers, personalised stationery and a choice of pillows. A welcome bottle of Pommery Champagne will also be waiting on arrival, along with fresh fruit and flowers.
Passengers in the top suites additionally have free butler service, free laundry (excluding dry cleaning and press-only) and an espresso machine. A complimentary newspaper -- choose from several international titles -- is delivered to each suite early in the morning. (Non-suite passengers can pay for newspapers at a price of $7.50 a day.) Canapes arrive around 5 p.m. each evening.
The top-level suites all have separate sitting and dining areas, second TV's and bathrooms with separate baths and showers. Owner's Suites have guest toilets.
I was in the new Owner's Suite and stumbled on a few irritations -- nowhere to hang towels after use, too few electric plugs in the sitting/dining room -- but, overall, it was superb. I did hear moans from other passengers that there was no news channel on the TV.
The Grand and Royal Suites have connecting doors to neighboring Verandah Suites to provide two-bedroom configurations. The Owner's Suites have connecting doors to Vista Suites -- so no balconies -- if two bedrooms are required.
This was definitely the weakest link for me. I admit I am not the greatest fan of cruise ship shows, but I can appreciate talent even if it's not my taste.
There were shows each evening in the theatre -- they call it the Parisien Lounge, which is appropriate because it is quite compact -- but all except one failed to impress.
The staple evening performance was the Silversea singers, who were limited by the size of the stage. The singing and dancing were amateurish; good sound and light might have helped, but that, too, was very poorly done.
We also had a rather unimpressive songs-from-the-shows male vocalist, a song-and-chat show by David Lawton (the cruise director) and violinist Beverley Davison, whose performance was the exception. She was a terrific player -- her rendition of a train was amazing -- and had a sense of humour to boot.
Daytime enrichment was provided by Alan Nazareth, a former Indian ambassador, who gave lectures on all things Indian -- including Mahatma Ghandi, the Moghuls and Indian religion and politics. His talks were well attended, and I tried a couple but found them very dry.
Fitness and Recreation
One of the biggest changes on Silver Wind is the spa, which has moved from Deck 7 to Deck 9. It's small, with just four treatment rooms, but there is also a salon where you can get your hair and nails done, as well as separate male and female changing areas, each with a sauna and steam room.
As is usual with Silversea, the spa is run by Steiner. Despite its small size, it offers the full range of therapies, including massages, facials, body wraps and detox programmes.
The bad news for those who like to be rubbed and scrubbed is that prices are steep -- especially for the British, now that the pound is so weak against the dollar. On the plus side, my massage was very good.
A 75-minute stone massage will set you back $210, a 100-minute lime and ginger body scrub costs $178, and a Sole Delight pedicure (where they clean up your feet and paint your nails) is a breathtaking $84. There are special offers if you book more than one treatment at once.
Through the spa, on the port side, there's a small gym with four treadmills, two cycles, two cross-trainers and some weights. The area was used but not over-worked. The fridge with free water was a welcome sight.
There is also a daily fitness schedule with yoga, Pilates and the like -- all free -- but I admit that I managed to give those a miss.
Fellow Passengers
There were 213 passengers on my around-India cruise from Chennai (Madras) to Mumbai, and they had come from all corners of the earth. By far, the biggest group was from the U.S. -- 80 passengers -- but there were Australians, New Zealanders, British, Germans, Belgians, Spanish and various other nationalities. Many were retired or close to retirement age; 140 were past Silversea passengers. Only one couple had never cruised before.
The food on Silver Wind was, almost without exception, very good -- tasty (although the curries were a little weak) and served hot, which is a big plus-point for me. They even managed to make the burgers and hot dogs, served on deck, a little bit tastier.
There is one dining room on Silver Wind, rather unimaginatively called The Restaurant, open for breakfast (8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.), lunch (12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.) and dinner (7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m).
Meals, including dinner, are all open-seating, meaning you can eat when you want and sit with whom you want. Ladies are escorted to their tables by waiters or the maitre d', which is a nice touch.
Other options for breakfast include an early-risers buffet from 6:30 a.m. in the Panorama Lounge and coffee from 6:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the Observation Lounge. A continental breakfast is served at the pool grill from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
A breakfast buffet is available in La Terrazza between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., and you can help yourself to lunch there between noon and 2 p.m. There's indoor and outdoor seating -- an awning was fixed over the outdoor area in the refit, which made it pleasant to breakfast outside on sunny mornings.
On one sea day -- I'm told this happens on all Silversea ships, when possible -- we had the Galley Lunch, when the galley is dressed up like a self-service, and you go in and help yourself and dine in the Restaurant. On my cruise, the galley was in Italian colours, and there were salads, cold meats, stir fries, sushi, curry, fish and roast beef -- a real feast that was brilliantly done.
The pool grill lunch opens from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m for burgers and hot dogs, grilled chicken, fish dishes and more. You can also help yourself to salads there.
Afternoon tea -- with dainty sandwiches, cookies and cakes, plus an array of normal and spiced teas -- is served in the Panorama Lounge from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.
In The Restaurant, my favourite dishes at dinner were the chicken breast with spinach and foie gras stuffing, spicy grilled chicken and bacon-wrapped pork medallions. But, my fellow diners reported favourably on the other dishes -- fish, beef and veal.
My favourite starters were the foie gras with leek terrine and assiette de canard -- a real duck fest, with smoked duck, duck pate and foie gras terrine.
Come evening, La Terrazza is transformed into a speciality Italian restaurant. You need to book a table -- numbers are limited to keep an intimate ambience -- but there is nothing extra to pay.
I ate there on two evenings and had a delicious penne pasta with artichokes, black olives and tomato; a fusilli pasta with spicy tomato sauce; and a hearty lamb stew and meatballs in tomato sauce, but there were plenty of fish dishes, veal, steak and lobster.
For something really special in the evening, book a table at Le Champagne (called La Saletta before the refit). At $200 per person, it's not cheap, but you do get some extra-special food and personal service for that price. There are usually no more than a couple of tables of diners (just my table of three when I ate there), and after the meal, your menu (with your name on it) will be waiting in your suite.
The $200 degustation menu includes the food and a different glass of wine with each course. The wine is selected by the sommelier to go with the food. There's an introduction about each bottle of wine before it is poured, and it's expensive stuff, so you really do get your money's worth.
There were five different degustation menus on my cruise -- Spanish, North American, Burgundy, Bordeaux and Italian.
I chose the Burgundy one and have to say the food and presentation was faultless. The meal started with some bite-size Burgundy tasters -- meat-filled pastries and foie gras -- and was followed by snails, served with herb butter and tomato fondue, roasted Bresse chicken, a Burgundy cheese brioche and chocolate Eiffel Tower.
If you don't want a degustation menu, you can still eat in Le Champagne -- for $30 per person. For that, you get the food, but you have to pay for any wine you drink -- and you have to pick from the expensive list.
Room service is free and available 24 hours. There's a room service menu with sandwiches, burgers and pasta, but you can chose a meal from the main menu during restaurant hours.
Dress Code
Silversea has a mixture of formal, informal and smart-casual dress codes. For formal nights, women should wear cocktail dresses, evening gowns or trouser suits, men should have tuxedos or dark suits. Informal means dresses or trouser suits for the ladies, jackets for the men (ties optional). Our 11-night cruise had three formal nights, four informal nights and four smart-casual evenings.
Tips are part of the all-inclusive package on all Silversea cruises. There is nothing extra to pay, and the crew do not expect additional gratuities.
--by Jane Archer, a U.K.-based Cruise Critic contributor
Silver Wind does not ban children, but this is not a ship for kids. There is nothing to keep youngsters amused on sea days, and I suspect many passengers would not be happy to have their tranquillity spoiled by noisy kids.
When I cruised with Silversea two years ago, I criticised the line for being complacent. Sure, my ship -- Silver Whisper -- was nice, but I felt that, because everyone was so busy telling me how ultra-luxurious everything was, they failed to notice standards were slipping.
It was not so much about the service (although that could have done with a quick polish). The ship was looking dated -- left behind, not just by other ultra-lux lines, but by those claiming fewer stars, as well.
So, I embarked on Silver Wind in February with a few negative thoughts in my head, especially as the ship is one of the oldest luxury vessels around and has several years on the Whisper. At 15 years old, Silver Wind is especially old for a luxury ship, given that our expectations of luxury are now much higher than they were back in the 90's.
On the other hand, Silver Wind had just emerged from a multimillion-dollar refit, which I hoped would have dragged it into the 21st century.
It did. Silver Wind, one of the cosiest and most intimate ships afloat today, now has a new spa, a handful of new, beautifully designed suites and an overall refreshment of cabins and public rooms that made it even more inviting. Within a day of being on board, I was happy to admit that complacency was out, and surefire luxury was in.
Silver Wind is a small ship -- I reckon it took about five minutes to work out where everything was! For me, that was one of its big selling points, as it offered a very friendly atmosphere. The all-inclusive drinks policy also does a lot to promote that friendliness, especially if you are cruising alone.
Needless to say, though, if you like to do more than sunbathe, read books or eat -- and if your perfect holiday includes a huge casino, schedules packed tight with enrichment activities, and silly pool games -- this is not the cruise for you.
Either side of a rather staid Mediterranean summer season, Silver Wind specialises in more adventurous itineraries.
Mine was a cruise around India, from Chennai (Madras) to Mumbai, before the ship sailed on to Dubai and into the Med. It will be back in the Indian Ocean in November, sailing to South Africa. At the end of 2010, it is set to cruise the Middle East before returning to Mumbai.

NORTH ADAMS -- Natal Paredes gasped in delight Monday afternoon as the Lego Mindstorms NXT robot he had just programmed inched closer to its goal.
"It's the closest I've come yet," Natal, 10, said as he reset the robot for another pass at pushing Lego squares toward a target.
His excitement drew several of his Sullivan Elementary School teammates, who offered suggestions on how to correct the robot's movement.
Nearby, coach Nathan Samson was listening intently as Will Schrade, 11, and Derick Jimenez, 10, discussed how one program they'd written could be modified to complete another task. Seconds later, the boys were huddled over a laptop making modifications to their program.
"This is the moment I really like, when the light bulb goes off," Samson said.
Samson and fellow coach Jared W. Sprague lead the 10-member robotics club, known as Sullivan SWAT (Students Winning At Technology), as part of the school's after-school program offerings. On March 23, the team will travel to Lenox Memorial Middle & High School to take part in the 14th annual Berkshire Robotics Challenge.
The competition, which drew a record-setting 32 school-based teams last year, is based on the annual First Lego League challenge, an innovative program designed to engage students in science and technology.
"Each year we purchase the First Lego League kit, which comes with the guidelines and challenge objectives," Samson said.
This year's challenge, "Senior Solutions," has the students using the Lego Mindstorms NXT robot and NXT program software to solve a series of "missions" -- challenges senior citizens may face on a daily basis.
"We have to solve problems like how to make bowling easier or how to walk the dog," Lily Williams, 10, who's been on the team for three years, said. "We have to build everything with Legos and then program the robot to do the tasks."
Other tasks include identifying medication bottles by color or grasping items with a robotic hand.
During the robotics challenge, the team will earn points for how well each task is completed and for the number of tasks completed during a two-minute window. They also have the opportunity to win an award for a research project they've completed and will present to a panel of judges.
"We can only have two team members in the pit during the challenge, so this year we've decided that those spots will be based on how much they've learned over the course of the program," Samson said. "We're having them keep journals where the write about what they've learned and the problems they've solved."
He hopes the after-school program will inspire a few of the team members to pursue a job in the technology or engineering fields.
Samson might just get his wish, should team member Ben LaForest, 12, achieve his dream job.
"I want to be an aerospace engineer," Ben, who's participated in the program for four years, said. "I think this is a good program to teach technology to kids and I really like being part of it. I think it's helping me with my problem solving skills."

In the Media Op-Ed Business Forum: Make sure consumers use protection rules By Jeff Sovern Pittsburgh-Post Gazette November 19, 2012 Excerpt:
If you have ever gotten a mortgage, had work done on your home, or bought something sold by a telemarketer, you have probably received a notice saying you have three days to back out of the transaction. Numerous federal and state laws give consumers the right to cancel these types of transactions, and plenty others. Such cooling-off periods are thought to give consumers the chance to fight back after they have succumbed to a hard sell, a sudden impulse or just made a foolish purchase. The only problem is that consumers don't use cooling-off periods. Just ask the businesses that give the notices. When my research assistants did that, more than a third said consumers never backed out, and nearly three-quarters said that 2 percent or fewer consumers cancelled.

Classic wood library bookcases are beautiful and come in a selection of finishes and heights, while steel models offer unmatched strength and a wide choice of colors. You can coordinate shelving with other library furniture or use it to bring in some fresh hues and styles. Whether you're looking for elegant, casual, colorful or formal bookcases, you'll find what you're looking for at Hertz Furniture.
Steel bookshelves are super strong and sturdy. They are available in a vibrant array of colors from Best Metal Cabinets. Colored shelving can be used to differentiate between various types of books so it is easier for patrons to find what they are looking for. Locating the history section from afar is much simpler when you know that is is housed in the yellow shelves. Without color coding, patrons will have to be within reading distance in order to determine if they have located the correct shelves. A variety of eye-catching hues will also make any space more inviting.
Nothing beats the classic elegance of natural wood tones. For a more professional and sophisticated look, solid wood bookcases will get the job done right. The visual appeal of natural tones is matched only by the incredible strength of solid wood. If you love wood hues, but don't have room in your budget for real solid wood, you can achieve a similar visual effect with laminates or wood veneers.
When you are outfitting a library for an office or professional institution, consider bookshelves from some of our stately office furniture collections. Elegant edge detailing and rich classy hues makes these shelves perfect for a more serious environment. They will also look great in an upscale school library.
Choosing between vibrant colors and natural tones can be quite a challenge. Each option offers distinctly appealing elements that greatly enhance a study space. With Educational Edge bookshelves, you can have the best of both worlds. These attractive units juxtapose the natural beauty of wood tone with brightly-colored detailing.
Adams traditional library walls from Norsons are a perfect combination of elegance and toughness. Attractive molding wraps around their top edges to create a built-in look when units are combined in a row. This custom appeal will lend a high-class look to any study area. We also have radius-edge shelving units which create a softer feel than harsh straight lines.
The style of a bookcase can impact the feel of a room, but the configuration and design are important to consider as well. Mobile bookcases can be quite convenient when many volumes need to be moved around at once. Bringing an entire class into a library to work at the same time can cause a disruption to anyone else who is studying in the room. When a whole class is researching a topic together, mobile bookcases can be used to bring the library into the classroom so students will feel free to have open discussions and consultations without disrupting other people.
If you have a fully-stocked book collection and you know what you will be using shelving for, it is important to make sure that the weight capacity of the units you are purchasing matches the books you need to house. Additionally, shelf depth should be considered as well. For large volumes such as reference books, large-print books and encyclopedias, extra-deep shelves might be required so the books won't stick out.
Bookcases also come in many different heights. Lower bookshelves are great for children's libraries. Floor-to-ceiling models maximize storage space so you can fit as many books as possible in the room you have. Whichever heights you choose, there is also the matter of single- or double-faced shelving to be considered. Single-faced shelves go perfectly against walls, and if they have finished backs, they can even be used as room dividers. Double-faced units are the ideal selection for creating long rows of books.
Rather than ordering many individual models, or even many of the same model, Russwood Library Furniture brings you the convenient option of modular shelving. This great solution creates a classy custom built-in look while saving space and money. Modular shelving can be used to achieve a perfect fit that will look great in every space.
With Hertz Furniture's huge selection of library bookshelves, narrowing down the choices can be quite challenging. With all of the materials, colors, styles and heights to choose from, anyone will have a number of excellent options. If you need help figuring out what the ideal selection is or exactly how many units you need for your space, contact the Hertz Design Center for free project-planning advice.

Ask A QuestionIs this bat made for a power hitter or a contact hitter?
The Anderson Ignite XS BBCOR: IXS Adult bat would be a good option for a contact or power hitter.
Does this bat really dent a lot?
Looking at some of the reviews, there seems to be a few comments about that. Keep in mind that it has a warranty and the Anderson Ignite XS BBCOR: IXS Adult has a lot of great reviews as well.
I had got the Ignite long ago and the end of my bat was black. Why is the end cap now clear in a way?
This is the style end cap Anderson has been using for quite some time now. The Anderson Ignite XS BBCOR: IXS Adult is topped off with Anderson's TrueFlex End Cap that is designed to increase barrel strength and aid in vibration management.
Product Description
The new Ignite XS is a complete redesign of Anderson's classic one-piece single wall bat. This bat is designed to maximize Anderson's all-metal alloy, with a shape that optimizes the Moment of Inertia (MOI). This new alloy has a greater yield value and added strength that allows a lighter, more responsive, and larger Effective Hitting Area (EHA). Reducing the weight in the EHA, while maintaining the strength necessary to withstand consistent impact, allows for greater design versatility. This also helps in optimizing the MOI, which is one of the most overlooked, yet most important aspects of any bat. Optimizing the MOI makes it possible to swing the bat faster with less effort. For the hitter, this means more power behind every swing. The Ignite XS is topped off with Anderson's TrueFlex End Cap that is designed to increase barrel strength and aid in vibration management. Also helping to decrease vibration is the TaperFlex Contour which uses design mapping and wall-thickness tuning to prevent productive energy from escaping the barrel. This allows the Ignite XS to have maximum energy transfer to every ball hit. The ultra-thin whip handle is designed to work in conjunction with the TaperFlex Contour to give players a comfortable feel and promote proper mechanics. Finally, an ergonomic weldless knob provides unmatched comfort and reduces risk of hand injury. Anderson is so confident you'll love this bat, they've brought back their Proof is at the Plate program. Try it out for 30 days, and if you don't like it, simply send it back to us. Let Anderson prove themselves... you've got nothing to lose! Anderson: All Metal. All Legal. All Made in the USA! The Ignite XS is BBCOR Certified and legal for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Message from the group owner
This group is for all the Hot Mama's who are taking a step towards a healthier lifestyle with the Weight Watchers program!
Weight Watchers is not a diet, it's a LIFESTYLE! By teaching the 8 GHG (Good Health Guidelines) and portion control, Weight Watchers has helped thousands of people reach their goals!
So if you're just starting your journey, have been on WW for a while, or are a lifetime member working to maintain, please join us for tips, advice, and good company!
Be sure to join our recipe board here...
Weight Watchers Online
Finally a couple of rules...
1. No selling or promoting of any item you may or may not be associated with, WW or not, doesn't matter.
2. No 'vote for my baby' or any other 'vote for' post are allowed. We all have the cutest LO's in the world, but don't have time to vote for all of them since we are too busy meal planing and counting points.
3. Be positive to other members and respectful, we are all here for the same reason, lets lift each other up!!!
4. Please do not ask us to calculate your points or ask us to calculate food points (unless you're asking opinions or serving sizes).
Here are some other helpful tips and information collected by members from this board...
Welcome to the WW board!!! We are a great group of ladies who work VERY hard. There are few questions that seem to pop up every other day or so. This is compiled from a previous thread and added to. Please only ADD advice here, do not have conversations. If you want to have a conversation then start a new thread and put SO of this one in the title (spin off = SO).
Also, a lot of us have been here a long long time. We want to help you have as much success as us! To do that, sometimes we have to be really honest and honesty sometimes feel harsh or judgmental. Please know that we only want you to succeed!
I just had my week 2 weigh in and I gained. WUWT???"
Don't get stressed in week two, it is a killer and often times shows little to no results. Its quite common and the best you can do is move on to week three!
"I just started working out and I have eaten within my points and now I gained a pound. I am so frustrated!!!!"
Its very common to gain or see small results when beginning a new or changing an existing workout regimen. Your body is adjusting, keep doing what you are doing and you will see results next week. But DON"T skimp on your points.
You noticed you gained, but you know you've done every thing right and you have NOT started a new work out routine in the last few weeks.
You can probably thank AF for this. Pay attention to what you weigh around the time of your period and you may find you gain right before she gets here (or even right after).
If you are really serious about adding activity, get a HRM (heart rate monitor). The online calculator is not accurate and you need to know how much you burned so you know how much to eat...that being said...
if you are earning 4 or more AP in a day, eat 1 of them! Or your body will starve itself and hold out on loss. You NEED to eat those points if you really are earning them, which is why you need a HRM.
Low point food:
only eating 0pt food or low point food will backfire on you. Remember, life style change...and there is NO way you live on that forever.
Eat all your points! Especially in the beginning-- try starting out eating all your weekly points--you might be surprised that you still lose. Then, when you reach a plateau, you'll know where you can start to cut back. If you're having trouble getting them all in, eat some PB, nuts, regular cheese, extra glass of milk, whatever.
The easiest way to be successful is to PLAN AHEAD! Plan at least your dinners once a week before you go shopping-- you'll save money and time, and then you won't end up getting pizza on Tuesday since there was nothing to eat.
General Advice
Don't get discouraged after your first day or week. IT WILL GET EASIER. You'll get use to counting points and start to memorize what somethings point value is.
Try to eat power foods so you stay fuller longer.
Don't compare your loss/results with others. You are an individual and your weight loss journey will be unique too.
Find a way to fit in your favorite foods/restaurants/recipes. Too much of a change can cause you to reject or despise the program.
Two things that have always been helpful for me:
1. Putting points value per serving on my food packages in the pantry and refrigerator
2. Breaking things into serving size portions and putting them in baggies with points written on the baggies.
Andrea's mom 03
1. Drink water.
2. Find a way to make the things you love healthier.
3. Go for a walk. My favorite pedometer is the Omron HJ 112.
4. Don't give up if you have a bad day or a gain, just put it behind you ad start again.
5. Try to follow the good health guidelines.
One pound at a time, one step at a time, we can do this.
Do not deny yourself little pleasures, simply add it into your points. This is not about depriving ourselves of wonderful food, it's about portion control and smart decisions. The beauty of weight watchers is that if you really want that slice of pizza you can EAT it! Just add it to your points tracker!
It is better to give into our indulges everyday or so, than to binge and eat it all at once.
Make Power Foods your go to foods. They are nutritious, and they will keep you full for MUCH longer than the same point value of non-filling foods.
This is especially important if you get hungry easily (like me!) Feeling full on healthy foods is very nice and helps prevent junk food binges.
Explore recipes using Power Foods, especially if you are not used to eating them, or cooking them.
Remember that WW is about more than just points. Focus on health too, by making sure you meet the Good Health Guidelines each day. Here's a copy of the GHG, stolen from here on the WW site. :)
The Good Health Guidelines guide you toward healthy choices as you lose weight. These guidelines ensure you are getting the nutrients, vitamins and minerals you need to boost your health while losing weight. Check off your "Healthy Checks†as you meet them each day in the POINTS Tracker.
Good Health Guidelines
1. Eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruits each day.
2. Choose whole-grain foods, such as brown rice and oats, whenever possible.
3. Include two servings of milk products – low fat (1%) or fat-free – each day.
4. Have 2 teaspoons of healthy oils (olive oil, canola, sunflower, safflower or flaxseed) each day.
5. Ensure that you are getting enough protein by choosing at least a serving or two of lean meats, skinless poultry, fish, beans, soy products, and lentils.
6. Limit added sugar and alcohol.
7. Drink at least 6 8-ounce glasses of liquid a day. The best choice is water.
8. Take a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement each day.
9. Get in at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week.(Start with 10 minutes if you're sedentary now).
What's a serving size?
1. Fruits, vegetables and leafy greens
Serving sizes are 1 cup for leafy greens and 1/2 cup for all other vegetables and fruits. The lettuce alone in a large salad may well count for 2 or more vegetable servings. The default portion for most fruits and vegetables is 1 cup.
2. Packaged whole grains
Use the nutrition label to determine the serving size of packaged whole grain foods.
3. Milk and dairy
If you are more than 50 years old or are a teenager or a nursing mom, increase milk servings to three each day. Examples of one milk serving include 1 cup of milk or yogurt or 1 1/2 ounces of many cheeses.
4. Healthy oils
Having 2 teaspoons of healthy oil each day ensures that you get the vitamin E and essential fatty acids that your body needs. Use the oil on salads, in cooking or as an ingredient in a mixed dish. Two teaspoons of oil is not even 1 tablespoon, so be careful to measure, since each additional teaspoon counts as another POINTS® value of
5. Lean meat and fish
A serving of lean meat or fish is generally 3 to 4 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards.
6. Water Six 8-ounce glasses of water is just 3 standard 16-ounce bottles.
"I'm breastfeeding and just took the points quiz, but the number looks too high. Should I really add 10 pts for EBFing? I'm afraid I won't lose based on those points."
The points quiz is correct and you will still lose at the recommended rate (about 1 lb per wk) when you eat them all. You will absolutely need all those points (and the food the represent, naturally) to fuel adequate production of breastmilk for you LO, and to keep you from getting famished! Nursing can make you really hungry and really thirsty too! Most docs will tell you breastfeeding taxes the body by an additional 500 calories per day, which jives perfectly with WW''s designation of 10 additional points for exclusively breastfeeding. (1 pt generally equals about 50 calories). WW's official position is that if you are supplementing with formula (or later with solids), that you need 5 additional points instead of 10. But most moms adjust this number based on the percentage that they are BFing vs giving a bottle/solids. For example, if you're only giving one bottle per day, then obviously your body is doing more than half the work to feed your child and needs more than half the points that WW thinks you do. One of the older versions of WW assigned points based on how many times per day you were BFing, with each feeding session earning 2 pts, for a maximum total of 10 per day. You could easily follow this method too and have good weight loss results.
You can join WW at 6 wks postpartum. The points quiz is your minimum number of daily points and you shouldn't dip below that number. When nursing, WW adjusts the Good Health Guidelines too. You'll need to increase your milk servings to three and bump up your fruit and vegetable servings to eight. You should also increase your servings of lean proteins and healthy oils to three each, and make sure to have eight glasses of water per day.
Here's two more articles from WW that may answer any additional questions you have.
Simply Filling Technique (old Core)
You eat the foods on the Filling Foods list until you're satisfied (but not full or stuffed). You can eat things that are not on the FF list, and those you do count points for - you still get 35 weekly points and you can earn activity points. I got so sick of measuring and counting everything.
Filling Foods List
The rules are:
Eat the foods on this list to satisfaction (or not hungry, but not full or stuffed). This is the hardest part.
There is no limit on how much you can eat, with a few exceptions:
- you can only have whole wheat pasta OR potatoes (regular or sweet) OR brown rice ONCE per day "free" but you can have them again later in the day if you count the points for subsequent servings
- cold cereal (and the list is limited - it can't have any added sugar, dried fruit, or nuts) must be eaten with milk or plain fat free yogurt, and it can only be eaten once per day "free" (count points if you have more later)
- ground meats can only be eaten once per day "free" and they must be at least 93% lean (count points if you have more later)
- you still need to get in your Good Health Guidelines each day:
5 servings of fruits & veggies
2 servings of milk products (minimum)
6 glasses of "liquids"
2 tsp healthy oils (olive, canola, sunflower, safflower, flaxseed)
1-2 servings of lean protein (minimum)
1 multivitamin a day
Choose Whole Grains when possible
At least 30 minutes of activity a day most days of the week
Limit sugar and alcohol
It takes a little bit of reading to understand it, but once you figure it out, it's really, really easy.

A few ideas to make home baked goods a bit healthier:
Add fiber - Replace a portion of the white flour with whole wheat flour (usually up to half can be done without much notice, though you can do more). Replace a portion of the white flour with other products, such as quick cooking oats, oat bran, wheat bran, or other whole-grain grain flours (spelt, buckwheat, etc)
Reduce fat - Replace a portion of the oil or melted butter with unsweetened applesauce or other unsweetened puree, such as banana or pumpkin
Reduce fat - Replace whole eggs with egg whites (1 whole egg to three egg whites)
Reduce calories - Reduce the amount of sugar. This can be a bit tricky though, because aside from sweetness, granulated sugars also add structure/crispness to baked goods. Some people use sugar substitutes, such as Splenda For Baking.
Reduce calories - Swap chopped fresh fruit (tossed in a bit of cornstarch) for dried fruit. Reduce amount of chocolate chips, or use a smaller amount of the mini chips so they distribute more thoroughly, but with less overall chocolate.
Add nutrients - Add shredded or pureed fruits/vegs. You'd be surprised how ,many things can hide the addition of some shredded zucchini or shredded apple.
It's all trial and error. Have fun!

We were happy with the hotel, the rooms were great, the king size bed and bedding were real comfortable. I would have liked a little more variety in the breakfast! We would stay there again. Convenient location off I95 and US 1. We usually travel with our poodle, this trip we left her home, but we are happy the La Quinta is pet friendly.

This is a great pet friendly hotel. The only complaint I have is that coffee isn't available in the lobby past breakfast time. The staff was polite, beds were comfy, and the facility was well maintained. We saw some deer and two foxes. Nice place.

we booked our room TWO MONTHS in advance, and put a card down to save the room. we called two days in advance to confirm that it was still on hold before we got there, even stated we will be a late arrival, we arrived at 1am. and was told that our room was even away and that there was nothing they were going to do about it. we asked to speak with the manager, and we got Mr. Sonny the "GM" he told us to pack our bags and that he did not need our business and that we could leave. this is not acceptable. after all the back and forth they FINALLY got us a room one king size bed and a pull out couch. my sister went down to ask for a pair of sheets to spread over the couch, the same GM "Sonny" was rude and very ugly to her and told her no, my sister replied "you gave our room away and now you wont even give us sheets ?" " what kind of manager are you?" and so this will concluded this review, this guy should really be in another business he does not represent the la Quinta Inn at Ormond Beach, FL. he is a failure at managment if you'd ask me. rude, smart mouth, and has very poor costumer service

We stayed one night for a lacrosse tournament. We cancelled our room at Best Western Plus few exit before this LQ because we prefer LQ. Hotel on the outside is great, location not so great. There is a Cheaters Mens club at the entrance and a run down Sleep in. Little scary upon entering but if you can look past it you're fine. Rooms were extra large with plenty of space and beds. Only complaint would be the staff. Not friendly at all. Breakfast isn't worth waking up early to get either. My husband asked for milk for his cereal because the container was empty and he was told by the front desk that... A. It was not their job, they don't work the breakfast desk. So he asked to get someone who does and that he would wait. They then told him... B. There is only 15 minutes till breakfast is over and they do not refill anything 15 minutes prior to shutting the kitchen down. My husband then asked to speak with a manager and was told there was not one on duty. The kitchen guy finally came out with milk but had major attitude and then started picking up all the breakfast items. Honestly works LQ we've stayed at for service and we stay at A LOT of LQ's all summer long due to our kids being on travel baseball and lacrosse teams. Very disappointing.

There's no question that Washington, DC is one of the most influential cities in the world, the undisputed center of American politics. And St. John's University students got to see that excitement up close and personal as part of the 32nd Annual Alumni Insider's View…U.S. Capital Program.
General Track - Photo gallery Pharmacy Track - Photo gallery Networking Reception - Photo gallery
This three-day trip, featuring panel discussions, networking and a sightseeing excursion, brought students to DC to meet a wide range of alumni working in some of the most remarkable fields the city has to offer. Student participants were divided into a General Track and a Pharmacy Track, each featuring its own unique itinerary."Whether you're interested in Law, Government or Pharmacy, it's great just to be in this situation where all these alumni are so willing to help," said Legal Studies major Gary Dunn '13CPS, who aspires to one day become a Federal Judge. "For every student," he continued, "there lies an invaluable opportunity to learn from our alumni." The General Track began with an on-site visit to the U.S. Secret Service's James J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, MD, where students learned about employment opportunities and how to apply online for government jobs. They also participated in the Service's virtual training and watched as agents showcased the facility's vast collection of weapons and vehicles. At the Rayburn House Office Building in DC proper, students enjoyed three fascinating panel discussions, speaking with alumni who work in government, military and the private sector about living and working in our nation's capital."What makes these panels so informative is that we explain to students precisely how we took our St. John's education and applied it to the U.S. government and related fields," said panel moderator Edward Geiger '80CBA, '88MBA, a Senior Investigator for the U.S. Department of Justice and a former Supervisory Special Agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "It's important for them to hear about what it's like to transition from living in New York to living in our nation's capital, and how they too can make that shift." The General Track went on to visit a number of other interesting locations, including the U.S. Secret Service Museum, the law firm of King & Spalding, LLP and the offices of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Panelist Matthew Spitzer, Esq. '07L, an Attorney in the SEC's Division of Enforcement, attended the U.S. Capital program as a student just five years ago. The main lesson he learned then – which he imparted to this year's students– is that networking is paramount. "I met a lot of alumni when I went on this trip, and I kept in touch with many of them," Spitzer recalled. "I e-mailed back and forth with them every couple of months and, eventually, one of them informed me that the SEC was hiring, and he gave me an application. I think my story shows just how important it is to keep up your alumni network – you never know when an opportunity will arise."
Meanwhile, students on the Pharmacy Track were visiting locations such as the American Pharmacists Association, MedImmune, LLC and the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, speaking with alumni and professionals about the future of their profession.Students also enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at Walgreens Pharmacy of the Future, the largest community pharmacy chain in the country, and walked away with fresh insight on the evolving relationship between Pharmacists and patients. "That was a really insightful part of the trip," said Feroze Karanjia '13Pharm.D. "They're providing a very high level of care over here, something completely new and different, and something that most pharmacies haven't even thought about offering." In addition, students learned about the wide range of jobs available in Washington during a panel discussion at the National Community Pharmacists Association. "I'm a Pharmacist, but I also lobby and deal with government affairs," said panelist John M. Coster, Ph.D., R.Ph. '84P, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and Director of the Center for Community Pharmacy Advocacy. "I influence the practice of Pharmacy in a different way, and I try to shape public policy and the political process."For many students, the highlight of the program came when both the General and Pharmacy Tracks converged for a networking reception with alumni, allowing students to mix and mingle with many St. John's graduates living in the DC area. New to this year's program, students broke up into groups after the reception to have dinner with particular alumni. "Every student who came down here brought business cards and resumes," said Laura Cranston, R.Ph. '84P, Executive Director of Pharmacy Quality Alliance, Inc. and Member of St. John's University's Board of Governors. "They were very prepared to network, and I think we tried to emphasize that you don't develop your network when you need someone. You develop that relationship and cultivate it far in advance." Throughout the program, students visited some of DC's most famous landmarks, including the National World War II Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial and a tour of the United States Capitol. By the end of the three-day trip, these young men and women felt more excited than ever about the possibilities that await them after graduation. "It's amazing how much our alumni truly care," said Law student Joseph E. Reigadas '13L. "I feel more confident than ever, knowing that our alumni support system – as this program made clear – is truly incredible."

Guest Speakers: Nicholas D. Kristof & Sheryl WuDunn.
Each summer, incoming St. John's University freshmen receive a book to read. This year's book is Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Half the Sky offers a powerful argument for understanding the depth of the oppression of women and girls throughout the world, as well as strategies for putting an end to such global human rights violations. Our Vincentian mission calls us to address and act upon the causes of poverty and social injustice in our global world. As one of the many experiences you'll share with our St. John's community, reading Half the Sky together will introduce you to some of the global challenges of the oppression of women, including forced prostitution, gender-based violence, maternal mortality and sex trafficking.
Nicholas D. Kristof Biography: Nicholas D. Kristof, a columnist for The New York Times since 2001, writes op-ed columns that appear twice a week. Mr. Kristof won the Pulitzer Prize two times, in 1990 and 2006. In 2012, he was a Pulitzer finalist in Commentary for his 2011 columns that often focused on the disenfranchised in many parts of the world (from NYTimes.com).
Sheryl WuDunn Biography: Sheryl WuDunn, the first Asian-American to win a Pulitzer Prize, is a business executive, entrepreneur, and best-selling author. She has special expertise in Asia, entrepreneurship, global women's issues, and philanthropy. As an investment banker, she currently helps growth companies, including those operating in the fields of new media technology, entertainment, social media, healthcare, and the emerging markets, in particular, China (from APBSpeakers.com).
