What is the Get Skinny Mommy Club?

My sisters-in-law, my best friend Jill and I have joined Weight Watchers (there are 5 of us total) . We are all mommies who want to loose weight, get healthy and be the wonderful women we know we are under the fat. The "Get Skinny Mommy Club" came about when I was about to walk out the door to go to WW's and my 5 year old daughter yells, "Get Skinny, Mommy". My children are my inspiration...What or who is yours? This blog is to help those of us that might need a boost to get us through, or maybe has found a new recipe, or a great food find. We are all trying we are all here to support each other...so lets GET SKINNY!
