Please note, this blog does not reflect the PointsPlus plan. I'm sticking with an earlier version of the plan because it has worked so beautifully for me over the years. Good luck with your journey, no matter what plan you follow!

My family's weekly dinner menu for 9/20 - 26

Please keep in mind, I only post my weekly menu to encourage you to plan ahead. Planning ahead helps me stay on track. I don't post recipes for what I'm cooking during the week. I don't have that kind of time. However, I do list the books used to harvest the recipes I'm using for the week (as long as the recipe is not something I'm whipping together from scratch). For instance, "BLFC" stands for Biggest Loser Family Cookbook. "CC" means Comfort Classics by Weight Watchers. It's all listed on the menu. I make a note of the page number of each dish. It saves me time in the long run. I hate wasting time, searching through book after book, trying to find what I'm supposed to cook that evening.


Plan ahead. It will help you be (and stay) successful. If I know what I'm having for dinner, I can plan the rest of my day rather easily. The weekly menu leads to my daily plan. The plan is like a little road map of sorts. It gets me from Point A to Point B.....while staying within (or at least close to) my daily Point range. :)

{Side Note: Some of the books I use are really old publications that I dearly love! You can find them on amazon.com....

These books aren't always easy to find, but I love them so much.  We find ourselves using the recipes over and over.  A few of them are now embedded into my brain, and I no longer have to pull the book off the shelf.  If that's not true love, then....I don't know what it is!}

I SOOOO need to follow your lead and plan out my weekly meals. I find that I am really good with making the entree but fall short on making sure I get enough veggies, sides, etc.

Wow, I can't tell you how much I loved your videos. I googled weight watchers blogs and you were one of the first. There is nothing more helpful than hearing real tips from a real person. Weight Watchers web site is great and all but some of the recipes aren't quite as accessible and down-to-earth as a busy mom of little one needs. Thanks so much for all you share!
