On WW? What do eat for breakfast and lunch

[ENSOCK]

My leader warns us not to eat more than 2 of the frozen dinners per week. With the sodium in them it can slow your weight lost down. You will retain the fluid from the sodium. You can eat anything that you fix for the kids just point it down.

Here are a few of the breakfasts I have:

1/3 container of lowfat Vanilla Yogurt, 2 tbsp blueberries and 1-2 tbsp of lowfat granola- app 1-2 pts

1 "alternative" bagel from Western Bagel (110 cal, 7 g fiber, 0 fat) with tbsp of light cream cheese (veggie or chive/onion flavored) with slices of cucumber, tomato and avocado (very thin)- app 2-3 pts

The bagel usually holds me longer. But, on days I do my intense "long" gym workout I have the first one and then sometimes I'll come home and have the bagel also. Then I have a later lunch.

My favorite breakfasts are Nature's Valley Fruit and Nut Bars (3 pts) or fat free yogurt (most are 2 points). I was trying 2/3 cup puffed rice (1/2 pt), 1/2 cup berries (1/2 pt) and 2/3 cup 1% milk (1.5 points), BUT, for some reason when I eat cereal for breakfast I end up absolutely starving 2 hours later, so I don't think that works very well for my body chemistry. Also, another favorite is 2 Eggo Low Fat Nutri-Grain Waffles (2 points) and 1/4 cup Aunt Jemima Lite (2 points). I try to rotate as much as possible. I was never ever a breakfast eater so making sure I eat breakfast every day has been my biggest challenge.

For snacks, all I can say are 100 calorie packs. As much variety as you want. Generally they are all 2 points. My favorites are the Keebler Fudge Stripes and the Honey Maid Cinnamon Grahams. But I'll do pretzels, planter's peanut cookies, and the keebler chips deluxe as well.

For lunch, I do a lot of soups. There are 2 good soup places near where I work so that tends to be easy. I stick with the veggie based, non-dairy based soups mostly. Also I eat a lot of sushi so I'll do that at lunch time too (sushifaqs.com is a great place for nutritional info and way more informative than the WW literature).

It's not the easiest thing in the world, but I have been working hard to be consistent. The last time I weighed myself prior to starting WW was in October and frankly I was shocked appalled and ashamed of what I saw. For that reason, I started without getting on a scale. Just before starting WW, friends and my mom and sister told me they thought I was losing some weight, but I was thinking a pound or 2 at most. I got on a scale for the first time last Saturday (10 days after starting WW) and was absolutely floored to find that since that horrific day in October I've lost 11 pounds. I realize that some of it had to be pre WW, and I still have about 30-35 more to go, but that was the kick I needed to be committed. And I've still been able to eat a lot of the things I love. My favorite website has become www.dietfacts.com, which has nutritional information for tons of stuff. Sorry for the thread, but I do the online program and honestly the message boards over there scare me a little, so I haven't had a place to get this off my chest.
