Anyone here do WW?
I have been on WW for 3 weeks and done well so far. One issue I keep running into is my love for small, local restaurants. DH and I go out one night a week, and while I hate going to all these chain places (Applebee's, Olive Garden, etc.), I get nervous about calculating points at the local joints.
Anyone know some local places with WW friendly menus or have some tried and true orders handy for local places? Any local places with nutritional facts posted??

I've lost 35lbs on it since the New Year.
The first six months or so, we only went out to eat at places I could calculate points for. There are a lot of resources online if you just google calorie information + restaurant name. I used that to figure out the points value. Now, I have a better idea of point values and such so if we eat at a place that I can't get points values for, I just don't worry about it. But I still try to not have more than one meal a week where I don't do points.

I just joined 3 weeks ago, as well! I'm doing the monthly pass with access to the online tools and meetings. I find it possible to find a way to calculate most everything online.
We've cut back on our eating out substantially - so most of my point calculating is done by entering my recipes into the recipe builder (tedious but really helpful!)
When we do eat out at restaurants that don't have published nutritional info I just try to find something similar in the WW database. Example: I had sweet potato fries at Cafe Express, but calculated based on the Outback sweet potato fries I found in the WW database (Insane amount of points, btw - won't make that mistake again o_O )
HTH and Good Luck on your weight goals!
