I re-joined Weight Watchers last week. This time I’m trying the online version. I’m doing it because it worked very well for me for quite a while, and when I stopped doing it, I gained back 2/3 of the weight I had lost after keeping it off for almost two years.
And I’m tired of my clothes not fitting.
I’m a little scared that I won’t do well going BACK onto it, but I have to do something. This is getting ridiculous.
Last week, I flew by the seat of my pants and calculated the points for recipes to use each night. I did pretty well (until the weekend) and so I’m hoping that by planning out my evening meals for the full week, I’ll do even better.
Monday – Chicken Fajitas – 8 pts
Tuesday – Beef Stroganoff – 10 pts
Wednesday – Crock pot Enchiladas – 6 pts (I’m thinking this seems low, so I should probably re-calculate it. Or not.)
Thursday – Chicken Stir Fry – 10 pts
Friday – Out to Eat
Saturday – Whatever is served at the wedding reception we’ll be attending. (All the more reason not to cheat during the week.)
Sunday – Out to Eat
Hmmm. Friday through Sunday make it look like the kind of week where I’d normally say, “I think I’ll start Weight Watchers NEXT week.”
That is definitely one of the biggest advantages of meal planning. Not going (or eating) blindly through life.
I’ll be linking this up over at Orgjunkie.com for Menu Plan Monday.
I intend to re-join WW too after bub arrives – I'll be watching your progress with interest… good luck!

Blindly eating…. I know all about that one!
Good luck!
Wishing you the best on WW! Congrats for re-joining! I hope it helps you get to the weight loss you want to be at! I'm trying to lose weight too! Always an interesting battle!
Crockpot enchillada's sound yummy!! I'm also trying to lose weight! Here's to all of us that are on that path! 🙂
I have done the online version in the past and it worked quite well. Lost 32 lbs. Gained it all back overtime though once I stopped. Now I am on the best diet in the world …….the breatfeeding diet. The eat whatever u want and the weight still falls off! Howver, since I don’t plan on breastfeeding for the rest of my life I have now started to try and pay attention to what I am ratting. Good luck to you!
Errrr….eating ….not ratting. Should prob. Think about spell check….lol
Hello – Best of luck on Weight Watchers and I wanted to share a resource – skinnytaste.com.
