Working on my meal planning and wondering what is everyone's favorite WW friendly dinner.

 

[Brae's Mom]

I have had a rough couple days. Yesterday I ate too much home made pizza (Veggie Grilled Pizza, recipe from Cooking Light magazine). I tracked it and used up all of my activity points.

Today, we had a wedding shower for the girl I work with and the points added up fast. I have been feeling under the weather and took a nap after work and then had a bowl of soup for dinner. Ended up eating 2 extra points. I don't feel well enough to earn any activity points.

Weigh-in is tomorrow morning

Well at least I now know that I am not the only one having a rough week. You would think that after my 8 pound loss of Tuesday I would be overly motivated to keep it up. But I have had a rough time since Tuesday. Though this is my first "time of the month" since I started WW and all I want is chocolate. I am having the ww chocolate, but I want the whole bag!

I want this week to be over! Seriously, I am now dealing with work stress and "lady time" all in the same week and literally all I want to do is eat. Next week will be busy as well but I know my hormones will be better and it shouldn't be as crazy, I hope. Tomorrow is my weigh day. I have no idea what it will say. All week it has been showing a loss until this morning when I was the same as last week so who knows. As long as it isn't a huge gain (1 lb or more) - then I'll at least feel happy that I made it through this crazy week and can start fresh on Saturday.

Hope everyone is having better luck than me this week!

I'm with ya!!

Hi Everyone, I just found this thread. I have been going to WW for about 6 years off and on. I finally go my ducks in a row and started working out 6 to 7 days a week and doing the WW program. It will be year on October 1st. I have lost 37 pounds (I know that's not a lot) but for me who doesn't loose weight this is good for me. I have went from a size 26-28 to a size 16. It's been a long hall for me. I have type 2 diabetes and my A1C has dropped from 7.0 to 5.7 that is a big drop. A1C is a blood test to that averages out your daily blood sugar level in the last 30 days. So I may have not made big progress in my weight loss but I have made progress health wise. My knees don't hurt, I am not having the back pain and ankle problems I was having due to my weight. I wasn't sure if it was okay to post pictures of before or after so if it's okay I will do that on October 1st if it's okay. Thanks for letting me ramble on. You all keep up the good work.

Congratulations on your loss and getting healthy, after all that is why we are losing the weight to get healthier. You are proof that it works. I would love to see your before and afters.

Good Morning Everyone! Here's my before and after....

****Warning**** hot momma alert .

I know you have heard this from me already but these pictures you can really see how awesome you look. Isn't it great when your thighs don't touch. That has been the best part of this trip for me no rubbing thighs .

MK was great yesterday everything had a 5 minute wait. Off to Hollywood Studios today.

37 pounds is awesome. It is the size of a 4 year old child. That's a tremendous success and something to be proud of. The other health successes are even better. They keep telling me that if it comes off slow, you'll be more likely to keep it off long term.

You did great! I would also like to know what everyone's favorit WW recipe is!

 

[robinb]

Just a quick drive-by. I removed 1.8 lbs this week . I celebrated with a skinny Pumpkin Spice latte with no whip at Starbucks. It was good but too sweet for me. I think I'll ask for 3/4 shot (if they can do that) next time. There is a Starbucks near the WW office and I only stop there if I lose weight. I now need to figure out the points for that bad boy.

ETA: It was 200 calories with 0 fat, so 4 points .

Hi Everyone, I had my first weigh in this week. I lost 3.6 lbs. I was happy with that. This time around I have a totally different mind set about loosing weight. I do exercise every day. This morning I walked about 5 miles.Then came home and cleaned 3 bathrooms.

I like that the legs of my shorts don't bunch up anymore. It's nice not to have to be pulling them down every time I take a few steps.

You sound like you're feeling better today. I hope you get to ride Toy Story Mania. We managed to do it twice both days that we were there. Thank goodness for Fast Passes. FP's were gone for TSM between 10am and 11am and the wait time in the standby lane was 120 minutes within half an hour of the park opening.

Holy Cow! You did GREAT! What an inspiration .

Thank you. It's been off now for 3 1/2 years.

Wow. Just wow. You look great. Congratulations and thanks for your courage to post. Very inspiring.

Thanks. It was difficult to find a picture. There aren't too many 'before' pictures of me laying around.

I have too many to pick a favorite. Tonight I am making the slow cooker chicken burritos! Yummmy

This week they had Roasted Dijon potatoes and roasted green beans with fresh tomatoes as two of the featured recipes. I tried both recipes and they are yummy!

Welcome! Sounds like you are doing really well. Being committed to Weight Watchers for a year is an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations on the losing 37 pounds! I would love to see your before and after pictures.

Sounds like you had a great morning. I may have to try one of those Lattes. I like nonfat Mochas and nonfat Chai Tea.

Congratulations!! Way to go for walking 5 miles.

This morning I was nervous about weigh-in but got up and got my butt to the meeting. Weigh in went well and I lost 1.6 pounds. I am happy with that after the week I had.

I would love to keep losing at that rate, it would be great to lose 10 more pounds before our trip. I want to start doing the Jillian Michaels DVD I have. She really boosts the metabolism. I haven't been able to do it though because the remote for the DVD player died, and we tried buying a universal remote for the DVD player but couldn't get it to program to work for our DVD player.

Thank You everyone. I will for sure put up before and after pictures. My one year anniversary of working out and doing WW will be October 1st. My trainer is taking pictures of me on Friday the 1st. So I will post pictures of me last year and me this year. Oh and I weighed in yesturday and thought I thought I was going to gain and I lost 2 pounds. 3 more pounds to 40.

Great job on the 3.6 lost!

Yes, I am feeling better, however over doing it a little with food at dinner . Did get to ride TSM today, DH doesn't get the hype.

I am starting weight watchers TODAY!

Getting ready for a trip to the grocery store for some more fruit & veggies as we're out.

I'm setting my goals right now! Every 5 lbs is a smallish reward. At 20lbs lost we're putting a deposit down on a Disney 3 night bahamas cruise. At 40lbs lost we're putting a deposit down on the last part of the vacation at Disney World! I am so excited. I've never had motivation like this before.

I think my biggest challenge will be work. I work in a preschool, so there are always cookies & cupcakes for the teachers and during lunchtime (we're not expected to eat lunch with the kids, but its hard to refuse) they usually feed the kids non-ww friendly food. They usually have fruit & veggies but they're cooked with butter or in sugary water.

I do have a lunch break starting at 12:30, so I'm just going to have to hold on and not eat the food they serve the kids. It's going to be so hard... the cook's chicken & rice is SO GOOD.

One of the contestants on the new Biggest Loser has this tattoo that says "Self Respect is the food of Discipline". I really like it, and I'm using it as my mantra.

I'm going to stock a cabinet at my work with WW friendly snacks so I don't give in to the school food when I'm hungry.

Welcome! I'n new too..as of Wednesday!
Good ideas you have for work! I like that mantra of yours too.

Congrats to everyone on their losses!
I have been learning alot about the WW website these last few days, I'm getting a better idea of what foods are how many points.
I'm housesitting for my DD and DSIL right now, so I'm away from home. I just got their scale to work - I think the battery in it is loose. Anyway, it's been a week since I've been here and the scale here shows that as of this morning I have lost 3 lbs. That is assuming there is no discrepancy between the scales here and the one at home. Yay!

Hey Guys! Welcome all the new comers!

Tonight I made cake! I took a box of Devils Food cake, a can of Comstock No Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling and 12 oz of Diet Cherry Coke. Dumped it all together, mixed and put in a pam sprayed rectangle pan.

Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees.

After it cooled I cut it into 16 servings.

Ran it through recipe builder 3 pts each for 16 pieces.

It was moist and yummy!

A little FF Cool whip or Breyers SF Smooth and Dreamy Vanilla would make it perfect!

I thought I'd never be able to resist certain things however, for me at least, things that would tempt me just don't anymore. It will get easier to stick to plan and not feel like you're missing something the longer you do it. Good luck!!
