Started WW last night

The leader was great(I live in NC) Very upbeat. Lost 50 pounds for 5 years. She was talking about how whne we lose our weight, if we wanted, our pictures would go up on the wall. I got teary eyes! I didn't realize how emotional I would feel picturing that.

I had twins who will be a year next month and I am 10 pounds less than before I got pregnant but at one point I was 25 pounds less! Once I stopped BF'ing-the weight came back.

Can everyone post some breakfasts, lunches and dinners? I am going shopping today and need some ideas!

Re: Started WW last night

First of all congratulations on joining! You will do amazing!

Here are some ideas I posted the other day!

When I joined ww this time (mind you this is my 2nd time on it) I realized I would have to cook a lot of the food instead of eating the smart ones since I am now married and refused to cook 2 seperate dinners). What I started to do was just change some things!

For instance:
I would always bake my chicken cutlets
fill up on veggies for my sides
sweet potato with dinner helps so much
turkey meatloaf instead of reg meatloaf
flank steak I would have a tiny piece but would grill onions and more veggies with it.
I literally live on fruit for snacks but I love fruit so that worked for me.
I also love italian ices so I would get the sugar free mint chocolate chip and it tastes great! I would have burger night with my DH and I would always make a turkey burger for me (i love the jenn-o all white meat ones from BJ's) and i would bake sweet patato fries they are yummy! I would take my lunch to work 3 times a week. Either tuna with light mayo, turkey but I would get all different types of turkey and my favorite the buffalo chicken breast and I would use different light breads! I would have my sandwich with a dannon light n fit yogurt. When I did not bring my own lunch I would get either subway or a salad with dressing always on side and always some kind of light or ff. On saturday nights I would go for dinner and order whatever I liked. I still had pizza on ww about once every other week and always one slice but sometimes a slice and a half. The smoothies helped a lot too. I would make mine with one chocolate packet, 1/2 cut ff milk, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 banana totals 3 pts and tastes great! I really did not deprive myself this time at all. If i wanted a few potato chips I would grab 3 or 4 and that would be it! Just to get the taste and then I would be satisfied. Good Luck and if you have any questions just ask we are here to help you!

Good luck!!! I always make sure I have the house stocked with the foods that I eat on WW so that I am not tempted to hit the kids snacks. Lots of friut, veggies and protein. I also make sure to have low point "treats" available for when I get a sweet tooth or need something salty. LIke WW ice cream bars, chocolate fiber one bars, microwave popcorn, ww snack cakes (keep themin the freezer). The plan works, good luck!

Re: Started WW last night

Thanks Ladies! So far today I had:

3 egg white omlette with LF mozz cheese
High fiber english muffin
coffee

Baked Chicken breast
Sweet Potato

I have to go buy some more vegetables

Re: Started WW last night

Yes, definitely boost up the veggies. I will often make my omelets with peppers and onions (sometimes zucchini). Don't forget to drink plenty of water.
