Hi everyone. I downloaded the app some time ago and only started using it five days ago. It's so easy and so vey helpful. I'll be 40 next year and really want to be in better shape. I lost 20 pounds on WW about 2 1/2 years ago.....as they say, "Life Happens". So, after a divorce and a couple of moves I have slowly put all but five back on. : ( Motivation is my main problem so I wanted to hopefully use my time off from work for the holidays to get back into a routine. I seriously need meal ideas because if I'm hungry when I get off work, I'll eat anything. I know planning ahead is key. Hoping to find some buddies here to help motivate and encourage.

Happy New Year!

    Welcome! SparkRecipes.com and http://400caloriesorless.com are two great sites that I use to find lower calorie recipes. Spark Recipes has a free app for iPhone, don't know about the others. Good luck!

    It's definitely doable!!

    For recipes - try getting some of the ziploc zip and steam bags. If you're anything like me and hate slaving over a stove to get homemade food and prefer convenience foods - these are totally worth it - I can throw a FROZEN chicken breast into a bag with some seasoning and microwave it for about 10 minutes -- while that's going I'll throw some veggies and seasoning in another bag, and as soon as the chicken is done I pull it out and then cook the veggies for 5 minutes or so (the bags have directions on them) this way I can get veggies and chicken all cooked and ready in less than 15 minutes. And the seasoning possibilities are endless!!
