I have decided to restructure the blog slowly and have different themes on different days of the week… it’s easier for me and I know that we all will benefit! I have also decided that GLORIA will be our cheerleader every week.. so you will see her here representing us!
So what is WEIGHT WATCHERS WENNNSDAY you ask? Yes, this is a stamp blog.. Yes this is an artsy fartsy blog.. but to me, it is also a SISTAHOOD blog. We are here for eachother and why not discuss other issues as well? oui oui? After I announced that I started weight watchers almost 2 weeks ago, I have received countless emails showing support, emails sending favorite recipes etc.
So I am gonna be selfish and devote wednesdays to ME and to US.. to make us all accountable.. to vent.. to share and to bond. sound good?
So first I will announce that last Friday’s weigh in showed a 4.5 pound loss. I was VERY happy with that but now am fearful of the scale this week. Was I perfect this week? NOOOOOO!!! I am trying my best and need the help and support 🙂
So WEIGHT WATCHERS WENNNSDAY to me is a place to announce, share recipes, websites and losses AND GAINS without shame. to actually STATE it and be accountable for it .. to get CHEERS from da sistahood.. or pats on the shoulder.
My challenge to YOU and to ME every week is to try ONE new recipe per week and share it the following wednesday if it was a success so we can try it and add it to our repertoire. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT on weight watchers, the recipes could be helpful as making dinner every night can be BOOORING.. LOL
I believe we are able to attach files in the comments section so we can collect information from eachother.. sound good?
I want to should out a THANK YOU to Judie P for sending me her favorite recipes.. I made a couple of them and they were amazing! I urge Judie to attach them here to share with da sistahood!
Ok so last night i made a DELICIOUS Chicken Parmigiana recipe for the family… THEY GOBBLED IT UP.. it was delicious!
Here’s the recipe. If you try it, let me know what you think!
I am in LOVE with the SKINNYTASTE website. It’s AMAZING!
Can’t wait to see what you think of this
Mwah to da sistahs who want support 🙂
em
congrats on the loss that is awesome..I do not do Weight Watchers but do another and I workout everyday..I use My Fitness Pal..I made a Shepherd Pie recipe last night that used puree Cauliflower instead of Potatoes and it was awesome…Oh and it had Roasted Garlic in it..Your Chicken Parm recipe my family loves that one as well…you got this today girl..you go
UMMM KERRI, where’s the recipe? LOL
My biggest issue is that I get lots of takeout due toy work hours. Any suggestions on websites for skinny takeout food? Any takeout food that you think doesn’t feel skinny? LOL
Good for you, but remember it is a lifestyle change and you do have the extra 49 points if you mess up.
Congrat em! I’ve been following a bunch of different sites for recipes lately, so I will share for sure! I’ve actually found an awesome apple pie now I’ve made three in the last two weeks, one for my hubbies guy getaway and the others for the house ill have to link up the receipe
Bravo Em! 4.5 pounds is something to be proud of. You can do this. If you, or any of da Sistahs have any tips on how to curb or cut my chocolate/sugar addiction I would be forever grateful.
Mwah, your Canadian Pinky
Congrats on decision to make a healthy shift!
As a personal trainer I could talk about this forever…so hey if you have any questions feel free to reach out 🙂

em – congrats on the loss! I’m on WW too. I love the program but I have been having a real hard time staying on the plan. I know it’s a mental thing so I have to figure how to kick this! I will. I just have to be patient. I weigh on Tuesday nights so next Wednesday I will post my progress. This will really help.
WTG!!! That’s a great start! I love SkinnyTaste as well! I was just looking at the site the other day and made these cookies: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/09/chewy-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-breakfast.html Everyone loved them!! So easy – I’ll be making them again!
Congratulations on the weight loss. Remember if you slip and fall, just get right back!
I’m a vegetarian so I won’t be trying the chicken recipe but I do make some awesome vegetarian meals that hubby loves – and now he seldom eats meat! What ever works for a healthy life style, do it!
Congrats on this weeks weight loss Em! How awesome is that to see that your hard work paid off! Changing a life style is HARD! It takes time and determination. I know you’ve got the mojo to stick with this! Go Em!
BTW I’m trying to make healthier eating choices as well. Now that my body is feeling better and food tastes good again I’m watching the weight creep back on. I’m making a stand to say not this time. I love the idea of checking in here. Thanks for the motivation!
Congrats on the progress, Em! I attend a weekly weight-loss group as well (Tuesday nights) and, in fact, just became one of the volunteers for our weigh-in room! Looking forward to sharing some inspiration with you on Wednesdays! Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
