WOW! I can’t believe I’m doing this. Following in Microsoft’s footsteps, I present to you my new site, bugs and all. I’m about 70% done but decided to release it and have you help me find the errors. :~D
Why? Well, that’s how I roll. ;~P I needed something to motivate me and this was it. I haven’t been able to workout, my eating has been slightly out of control and I was desperate for a change. I redesigned the site, the food journal, and I feel like I have new lease on this whole weight maintenance thing.
OK, so here’s the deal. I’m still tiding up my old posts, WeightWatchen isn’t going any where soon, I’ll be leaving it up for archival purposes although I did move almost everything over. There is a new feed but those of you who subscribed via email will be transfered automatically.
*sigh* Well, that’s it for now. On the diet/food front, I’m starting a week in level 5 journaling. I really have been out of control and, to be honest, I haven’t been on the scale in weeks. I really need to weigh in. So I’m starting now, fresh. I don’t care that it’s not “Sunday”, or the 1st of the month, the year, or whatever other “start points” we tell ourselves we need. All that is bogus. I choose to start NOW. That’s why it was important for me to jump in head first and just DO IT! and you can do it too. The best time to do something is today! So why not? (Guess I’m wearing my motivating speech hat tonight) :~P

I Published a Cook Book!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

Yay! I think I might be your first comment on the new site!!! I visit a lot, but I don’t really have time to comment like I’d liketo b/c I’m so busy with grad school. Well, tonight I was making a shopping list for Trader Joe’s so I can make a few of your recipes and violá, your new post popped up.
Site looks great at first glance, and I can’t wait to look around! Thanks so much for all your insightful tips and sharing your story. You help me get through my plateaus (and believe me, there are MANY haha)
Looking forward to those banana pancakes! :)
The website looks great, Roni! It is very soothing to the eyes…:)
Gina
I really like your new site! Very nice layout!!
I LOVE the new site!! I’m so glad you decided to go ahead and launch it!
I love the new site! Great design, fresh and easy on the eyes. Nothing like a virtual makeover to give you a real life boost, I reckon :)
The new site looks great, Roni! Congrats on making the move. :)
Congratulations! Looks great!
Hi Roni. The siste looks great. As always, you’re doing a great job and are a constant motivation for others. Good luck with the site!!
Roni, love your site… you go, girl! And, you are taking us all along with you!
Thanks for the inspiration, fun, and good news.
love the new look – but MISS the progress photos across the top – I LOVE those.
Thanks SO much guys. I’m really proud of it even though I still have a long way to go!!
Vickie,
They’re still there! I just reversed the order and put them on a link to the right and you can get to them from the before & after photos as well.
The reason, well, I’m not losing anymore so I though the comparison would be more relevant then a progression during weight loss that was 2 years ago.
Hmmmm I do have room up there though. I could add the link. I’ll have to think about it. :~)
Here’s the link… http://ronisweigh.com/ronis-updates/progression-photos
GREAT makeover, Roni! I love it. Hope you’re feeling well and recovering nicely :)
I really love the new site. I do miss the link to GreenLiteBites at the top though.
(*balances a tray laden with one and two point snacks*)
Im here for the blog launch party.
anyone need a hat? confetti? Ive got enough for all of us!
M.
Lookin’ good. I like the new site, but, being a creature of habit, it’ll take me some time to get used to it. (I liked the old one, too!) I especially like the GLB recipes down the right side of the page.
Typed in the wrong Web address in my first comment. Oops.
Roni, love the new site – just found your sites a few weeks ago and have been following them ever since. They are great and have helped motivate me to take some steps forward (a 30 day mini challenge and some journaling). Can’t wait to see what you come up next.
Super cute new page Roni! It looks more clean-cut and it is still user friendly! Nice job :)
love the new site. I visit everyday I have your website added to all my online feeds. You motivate me when I can’t seem to do it anymore. Your an inspiration.
Roni-Beautiful layout and colors! Great job on it, and I sincerely thank you for the lift I get daily when I see your story. I do have one question, though: Why the ads for Chinese fat reduction product, etc., that I sometimes see? Do you endorse and use all the “products” your site advertises?? Does this keep your site going? I DO LOVE the vitalicious muffins you link to … just curious how it all works … -Amy
Roni, I love the new site. The colors are really nice, and everything seems so well-organized. You are a web-design goddess! I can’t wait to dig a little deeper.
BTW, good luck with getting back on track (new plan, etc). I’m sure it has been tough being off your usual routine (surgery, new projects, and other stuff). It won’t be long before you’re in the groove again.
roni i LOVE your blog you inspired me to create one, but i’m just starting and i’m not good at creating web pages lol.
i miss your progress pictures too! the change is awesome keep it up girl :D
i always tell myself that there is no “Monday” in life style. it’s not a diet, it’s a life style.
Good for you Roni! And, I’m talking about both the new web-site and your decision to resume the WW! “Now” is always the best time to start something new! Good luck with that, congratulations and I STILL look forward to your inspiring blogs. I hope you realize how much you have helped so many of us stay motivated. Thank you for always being where we can find you. Even if you have moved around a bit! LOL
Tammy, who hope she is no longer anonymous with her comments…….
Yay! I’m no longer anonymous! LOL Little things thrill me!
I love your new site. I subscribe to several blogs of WWer’s. They help me on my journey. Yours is the first one I signed up for. Changing over was a little work for me. Since I was already signed up on the original site I had to go and do several things. It would have not been hard if I had not switched my password over from their password to one I know. Now I am here. Really like the calm colors.
Keep up the good work!

Love the new site Roni and I think you are just fab too! Have been having a great time today (when I should be working!) enjoying http://greenlitebites.com/
The videos are great fun and you seem like a really wonderful mother. God, sorry if I sound a bit over the top, I just really admire you and I guess down the road I’d love/hope to be able to be even a small bit of the person that you’ve become through your journey. Go you!
LOVING the new site!!! It’s so clean and crisp and NEW! Haha…got to love new things. I can’t wait to go exploring!!! But so far, so GREAT! :)
Congrats on the launch of the new site—it looks good!!
Roni,
You really are amazing at creating these websights, you have found one of your callings. Notice I said ONE, you have many girl.
Keep up all your hard work you really inspire me each and every day.

Sorry, late on these…
Amy, this is a great question. Currently I use google for my ads and they choose the ads based on content. They are the only “unaprooved ads” I guess you can say. All posts I make are honest opinions and I plan on integrating the BlogHerAd network again if they approve me. Which will serve better suited ads and replace the top google spot.
Thanks for the question!
Anna – The progress pictures are back! :~)
Tammy – That’s one of the reasons I wanted to upgrade. Better comment system!! :~)
Everyone – THANKS!!
Love the new site and look! :)
I love your new site! You are such an inspiration to me……and so many others. I just want to say thank you!!
I bookmarked your new site on my computer, but it seems stuck on the
July 5 date. Am I doing something wrong?
Nellie
Hi Nellie,
You probably bookmarked that particular post and not the site. I’d navigate to http://ronisweigh.com and without clicking on anything, add the bookmark. This was it’s guaranteed that you have the main page. Does that make sense?
Hope it helps!
