Not even going to attempt points calculation, but I think from guesstimating it's reasonable.

Living Arts Yoga for Weight Loss is a great video. I do it when the birds are still sleeping, before work. I can feel muscles in my upper back from doing it, and my lower back isn't aching as much since I started it. It shows four different fitness levels, so anyone could do this video. Very unobtrusive music, the instructions are voice-over, so you aren't distracted by the leader talking. Looks like it was filmed in the Grand Canyon...beautiful background. Great quality...I'd recommend it.

I like that video too, Wildfire! And your strawbery dessert sounds great--I think I'll steal that idea.

I'm so confused! I've got a marathon in six weeks and am doing a high level of intense training. But I'm not losing any weight! Apparently, believe it or not, I'm not eating enough! I don't get it. Look at all this food! But I haven't been eating enough calories balanced against the amount of training ... Grrrrrrrrrr. My WW leader laid down the law -- gotta eat more calories. More calories = less weight??? *sigh* We'll see how I do this week.
