Just because we need a first post ...

Nikki:

That little no posts box was starting to look kind of lonely and I'm just giving it the axe on a whim.  Since, I clearly haven't thought this post through properly and have no direction, I guess I'll tell you a little bit about how this place came to be.   One of my friends started Weight Watchers last year, early this year she bumped into my old neighbor at a meeting and they decided what's more fun than the two of them doing WW alone?  Doing it with me.  So, after some minor procrastinating on my part, I showed up two weeks ago and my journey began.

So, what about CB you might be asking?  Well, she contributed to me totally going off plan by coming to visit me for 4 days during week one.  So worth it, so awesome.  I miss her like crazy already.  But, we started talking and I convinced her to join in on the WW fun.  CB, being the blog lover she is was like "lets do it, and start a blog" and, well, here it is.

CB:

I know what you're thinking.

What the H-E-double hockey sticks does "Two Pink Hippos" mean?

Funny story. I have no idea.

Let's start from the beginning.

Nikki started Weight Watchers 2 weeks before me and during one of our nightly chats she suggested I join her Weight Watchers army. Since I've been feeling unskinny lately I knew it was time to take back control of my weight from the potato chips. As a way to keep each other motivated and share recipes, we decided to start this blog.

Even though we tried to come up with something cutesy with "weigh" in the title, we just kept coming back to my little brother's suggestion. Two Pink Hippos. It's so random but catchy. So the name stuck. And here we are.
