The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans

I’m no cook. I try, but really I’m more of a Preparer. Or a Combiner.
Yeah. Combiner. That’s what I am. I like to find recipes with the fewest number of ingredients so that I have less of a chance to mess it up.
Which is why this is one of my favorite [...]

I am a huge English muffin fan. Whether we use them for homemade egg sandwiches or just for a light breakfast.  Since I started to watch points and what I am eating, I almost felt like I was “wasting” points on bread. I don’t know about you, but I [...]

Happy Halloween, everyone!!
Saturdays are usually our day for product reviews, but I’m thinking today’s post is more along the lines of customer service.
We all know that we should stay away from the Halloween candy as much as we can.  It’s totally empty calories with absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever.
Here are a few tips Weight Watchers [...]

We all know how easy it is to get into a rut, and how many different types of ruts there are. There are diet ruts, exercise ruts, bad attitude ruts, injury ruts, and ‘I’m not losing any weight’ ruts. I think we’ve all been there and done those, right?
The rut I’m currently in is a [...]

This week at The Sisterhood, and in support of our new Shrink for Good Challenge and the awesome Weight Watchers Lose For Good campaign, I will be posting DAILY a WW recipe that is near and dear to my heart, meaning I like it- A LOT.
I get bored with chicken and am always looking for [...]

For those of us looking for a ham alternative this Easter, the Sisterhood has dug this one up for you! I’ve never tried this recipe, but it sounds wonderful and best of all, EASY!!! Who doesn’t love easy when you’re planning a dinner, getting Easter baskets ready, eggs dyed, going to church, etc.
Easter Pork Tenderloin [...]

I’m on day 2 of religiously tracking my points and entering them into Weight Watchers online. And you wanna know what? It feels GREAT! So empowering and important. I knew that if I could get back on track, it wouldn’t be so hard.
So how are you doing? Do you track points? Have you fallen off [...]

Can something this good only have 110 calories, no fat, and 7 grams of fiber per serving? The answer is YES it can. Meet The Alternative Bagel. And because these little babies pack such a punch of fiber, they’re only 1 Weight Watchers Point! How amazing is that?
I don’t know about you, but I’m a [...]

Lisa and the kids are here visiting and we’re having a great time!! It’s so nice to have them here. Our kids get along great and have so much fun together.
Lisa and I worked all week to plan our menu for her visit. Last night we had our first planned meal of shredded pot roast [...]

I am so very happy to have moved into the 140s this week. I feel like I’ve been running backwards for the past two months, and now I’ve finally taken a huge leap forward!
I’ve been sitting here going over the past week in my mind and I want to make a note of what I [...]

I have counted and logged every single piece of food I’ve eaten this week. I’ve actually been kinda OCD about it. The thing is, since I’m a chronic weigher, I just don’t see the weight coming off. It’s kinda depressing actually. I’m not looking for sympathy or help finding excuses or anything.
I think it’s time [...]

Just a couple of weeks ago, Beth and I were discussing the need for a WW mobile app for her iPhone (gag, okay, I’m just jealous). We dreamed of being computer geeks and coming up with the app and selling it for like $2 to eleventy billion people and then we’d be gazillionaires. Well, someone [...]

After the complete debacle that was my weigh-in this morning, I decided to get my butt in gear and start counting my points. I mean, I actually pay for a Weight Watchers Online subscription and it just sits there, unused, wasting away.
So today I drug out my trusty food scale, my measuring cups and spoons, [...]
