Launching a bloglet

Here goes: for the convenience of people at my Weight Watchers meeting (and anybody else who may care to avail themselves of it), here's a blog of the weekly low-Points, low-calorie, and otherwise healthy bargains of the week.

I shall probably be playing with this blog for quite some time, so if you check it out and it looks very different to the way it looked the last time you saw it -- don't worry, it's just me playing with Blogger.
