Weight Watchers - 1 Month!

1 Month of Weight Watchers completed! I can hardly believe it! I ate really great food along the way, didn't ever feel deprived, and if I wanted something, I almost always had it.  I lost 14 lbs this month, which is incredible. 

The other night, I made a dinner Weight Watchers meal plan for someone who is also on WW.  This is a vegetarian plan but I added meat options with additional point values if interested.  I have also included the grocery list.  Each dinner should be served with a side salad or roasted vegetables.  Vegetables are 0 points as long as there is no added fat to them.  Just add points for any fats or dressings you may add.  If you are thinking about starting Weight Watchers, try out these recipes!
