It works, but finessing a meal plan that works for you is the hardest part. I've spent years perfecting Weight-Watcher's friendly recipes, and I've got a whole grocery list worked out for when I get "back on the wagon." So why not share it, right.
Now first, let me say that I use the old system, because hopping on the "Points-Plus" system at this point--after I've already calculated the points of everything I buy and cook--is just too much work. So, I'm allotted about 23 points/day plus 35 "weekend points". But calculating the points is a pain in the ass, so here's what I'm suggesting.
Join me in the 10 pound Weight Watcher Challenge. Post to me your progress. And I will do the same. All you have to do is eat what I eat, following my recipes and we will do this together. Ready for the challenge? Here's what I've ate so far.
