Ive been WWing for a month now. I just do online, no meetings. Just wondering what your typical day consists of. Ive been eating oatmeal and fruit for breakfast and Smart Ones for lunch pretty much everyday for the past month and im bored. I need new ideas! So what do you eat?
Re: WW Girls: Come in!
I do oatmeal & fruit for breakfast always.
A PB & Banana deli flat as a snack mid morning.
For lunch i'll make a chef salad (Deli rollups w/cheese), salad w/ hard boiled egg, grilled chicken. Or a 2.5 oz turkey sandwich on a deli flat or ww bread with mustard L&T. I never ever eat the smart ones since the plan changed. Not worth the points and not filling enough.
Dinner, I LOVE skinnytaste.com. Black bean chicken chilli, slow cooker shredded chicken, Ziploc steamer bags are AWESOME. Turkey burgers with grilled vidalia onion, turkey meatloaf.
And lots and lots of fruit for snacking. I also make ths baked apple thing for dessert. Peel and core 6 apple, 1/4 cup margarine, 1/4 brown sugar, 1/2 cup real oatmeal, some cinnamon and bake at 350 until apples are tender. 1 cup is only 2 points. Its filling, satisfies my sweet tooth and its delish.

I just do online too and it's been working for me. I'm down almost 25 lbs since January. Here's some of the typical stuff I eat:
Breakfast:
Egg Whites
Turkey Bacon
Special K with small amount of skim milk
Mixed Fresh Fruit
Weight Watchers Toast or Bagel
Lunch: These vary from when I'm at work or can cook at home on the weekend.
Smart Ones - only when I'm at work. They're easy and since I'm so busy I don't usually have time to get hungry afterwards
Salad with grilled chicken, veggies & basalmic vinegar
Soup (Cambells Healthy Request)
Grilled Cheese - using WW bread & WW cheese
Leftovers from night before (grilled meats & veggies)
Snacks:
Fruit
Fresh Sugar Snap Peas (looove them)
Edemame
Slimfast Snack Bars (they're only 3 points!)
Nabisco 100 calorie snacks
WW Ice Cream or Skinny Cow Ice Cream bars
Dinner:
mostly anything, just cutting down on portion size & eliminating sauces. I eat a lot of grilled meats, fish & veggies. I completely cut out white rice & potatoes and only eat a small amount of brown rice now and then. I haven't had a potato since January! Pasta is rare and we eat either the whole wheat kind or the dreamfields pasta.
GL and if you need any advice I'm here for you.

Now I feel better about this diet...I was starting to get bored and that always leads me to FAIL! But thanks to these great sugestions,im feeling better about it!!And its great to know I can come here for some WW support! thanks ladies!
breakfast- usually fiber one cereal, sometimes i would mix yogurt with fruit a small amount of granola and coconut. or a pancake with fruit. if im in a rush a muffin (make them myself- really they are sues.)
lunch- i did a lot of smart ones too. or soups.
dinner- i always just made whatever i would normally make, but it put the recipe in the online tracker and made sure i ate an appropriate portion.
snacks- greek yogurt was the go to. or a fiber bar. or fruit.
desserts/ sweets- again i made or ate my regular stuff a lot and would just enter it online so i knew what i was eatting. but also the WW dark chocolate raspberry bars (still eat this all the time). or skinny cow ice cream sandwiches. and fiber plus has a coconut chocolate bar that tastes like samoas cookies.
