  • I am not strict about meal planning but do try to stick to it for the most part Monday - Friday. I normally cook Sunday or Monday nights and do breakfast sandwiches, lunches and dinners. My son plays hockey so this really helps us with eating at home and not going out so often. We can come home and just heat something up…
  • You can also do bento box meals. There's a thread on here with a lot of good ideas
  • My son likes real food and not sandwiches so for lunch I pack him and I similar things. Taco salads, Chicken Caesar Salad, flat out wrap with ff refried beans salsa lettuce tomato and cheese, pasta salads, bean salads
  • I'm going through the same thing. It's a long and stressful process for sure! I'm down 5 of the 20 I put on over the past 18 months. 15 to go!
  • I had soup today because it's freezing. I usually do leftovers for lunch or make something to eat for a few days. Turkey stuffed peppers, chili, salads. Sometimes do a whole chicken on the weekends and use that for lunches (wraps, salads, chicken and rice).

  • Chicken caesar wrap or salads, if I'm lazy I just throw some chicken, broccoli, brown rice and teriyaki sauce in a bowl.
  • I travel for work also. You can request a fridge with most hotels even if they are not standard in the room. If they give you a hard time tell them you need it to store medication. When I travel I usually try to bring granola bars or nuts for breakfast. Most of my travel is to cities so in the evenings I try to take a walk…
  • Invest in a crock pot. You can make chili's, soups and meals it with little effort and freeze leftovers for your own quick freezer meals. My son plays travel hockey and my husband and I both work full time. There just aren't enough hours in the day to cook dinner some nights. With the slow cooker you can just throw stuff…
  • 4 days a week I take my son to a local bike trail and he rides his bike while I run along side him. Nice way for us to get our exercise in and spend time together.
  • I lost 40lbs on ww in 2008 and have kept it off and am a lifetime member. I don't mind the weighing in at the meetings. It made me try harder because someone else would know if I gained lol. I switched to MFP because it seems silly to me to pay for the etools when I don't have to pay for meetings etc.. I like he MFP ap on…
  • I usually make just one thing... the only real exception being if it's something super spicy. My son is a good eater and has never been pickey. Yes he likes some things more than others but he will try anything. If he hates it I won't force him to take more than a bite but there isn't much that he hates. I usually plan my…

  • I try and cook things on Sunday and portion out for lunches towards the beginning of the week. Last week I made stuffed pepper soup and this week crockpot 3 bean turkey chili. Later in the week I make wraps, salads or leftovers. I also try to keep some stuff in the freezer (soup/chili) in case I just need something on the…
  • The Skinny No Bake Peanut Butter Pie. DELICIOUS
  • egg whites and a light multigrain muffin.
  • I usually cook something big on the weekends and then freeze it in indivdual portions. This way I can just pull something out during the week. This weekend I made salsa chicken in the crock pot. skinnytaste.com has some great ideas for things that freeze well.
  • Salsa chicken and brown rice
  • I lost 40lbs on WW 3 years ago and have kept it off. The new points plus program does not work for me. The points are too high if you don't have a lot to lose in my opinion. I have lifetime status so WW is free for me but it wasn't working anymore. I recently found MFP and it seems to be working a lot better and it's free.…
