Great losses this week everyone! Congratulation on hitting those great numbers.
Angie, I've been doing this since January so I kinda know the points of the foods I like to eat now. I have the same thing for breakfast almost everyday, Special K Vanilla Almond, because I love it and it fills me up. I also usually have a salad for lunch, but mine is a great salad with romaine, baby bella mushrooms, green peas, cucumbers, dried cranberries, a little ham, and a 1/4 a cup of cottage cheese. I use a little no fat italian dressing and I enjoy it each day. People at work eye my salad all the time. lol
Dinner is where I change things up a bit, but I always serve at least two veggies and/or fresh fruit with our protein. I do include some carbs, but really limit my intake there. We eat a lot of turkey and chicken, but will have red meat and lean pork once a week. I also do a meatless meal on friday, usually homemade light banana walnut pancakes with fat free syrup because it is quick and easy and satisfies my sweet tooth. I tell my mother and son both that they are welcome to eat the meals I make or cook something for themselves as they are grown adults. They usually eat what I make and seem to be happy with it. Of course it could be because they are too lazy to cook. lol
When I first started WW I did a lot of menu planning to learn what worked and what we enjoyed. Now I have about 10 go to dinners that I usually rotate through during a two week period, which makes shopping and planning meals so much easier. Losing weight is a lot of work, but it is worth it.
Now, I gotta ask what is it with stretch jeans? I've lost 45+ pounds and need some new jeans, but everything seems to be stretch. I carry my weight in my lower half, so stretching anything across that is not flattering. Because I am tall, I usually order my jeans on line, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money for what I hope are transition britches. So where does a still chunky, tall girl go for a regular pair of jeans that don't cost an arm and a leg??
