The First Weigh In (written 1/12/11)

My WW meetings will normally be Wednesday mornings but we were expecting(and got) a huge snowstorm so I went last night for my first weigh in! I think everyone had the same idea because it was packed. I actually had to sit and wait before I could weigh in. About 15 minutes into the meeting it was my turn to go. And...

I lost! Yes! 2.6lbs! I'm not surprised I lost weight I worked very hard and followed my plan. It's really not a hard thing to do. I'm having a hard time even meeting my Points Plus allowed. It's amazing how eating lots more veggies really does fill you up! On to Week 2 I go!

I wanted to share a recipe I created that is only 8 Points Plus per serving, has 2 of your daily servings of veggies. And it is delicious!

One serving. It sure was a lot of food and filled me up!
