Wednesday night
I need to work in some stitching time. I haven't been on the computer as much as I used to be, but I'm still not finding as much time to stitch as I used to. Don't know what's going on there. Maybe it's because I'm better about cooking meals and I'm spending more time planning meals and grocery lists. I guess after a while I'll be quicker.
Favorite WW Snacks... so far
One of my favorite snacks, and I apologize if I mentioned it already, is eating two graham cracker squares with Cool Whip Free in between them. It's like an ice cream sandwich and is only 1 point for each!
Another idea I got at the meeting on Monday is to eat a serving of pumpkin with nutmeg, cinnamon, Splena and a little Cool Whip Free. I think that's only 1 or 2 points. Have to check the pumpkin points, but they said it tastes great!
Another lady has a sandwich made with the lite bread that is 1 or 2 points for 2 slices, cucumber, lettuce and tomoato. She says it fills her up when she's hungry but doesn't want to waste points.
Something I like for lunch is cucumber or raw zucchinni with tuna fish on it. It's good for protein and veggies. I usually use a very small amount of the Kraft fat-free mayo, the one with the red top. It's the only kind of fat-free mayo that tastes decent to me at all, and I use just enough to make the tuna stick together.
I've also found the JELLO nonfat pudding snacks and Polly-O lowfat string cheese to be great ways for me to snack and get my dairy for 2 points each. I've had other lowfat string cheese, but I think the Polly-O is the best.
For a zero-point snack, sugar-free JELLO gelatin and Cool Whip Free is very yummy.
I tend to boil a bunch of eggs at once and put them in a bowl in the fridge. I don't have one every day, but every few days I have one or two for breakfast. They are a great source of protein and are 2 points each. I have no choloesterol problems so I don't have to worry about that, although I've been reading that eggs are better for people than thought a few years ago -- in moderation.
Many probably already use these, but I figured I'd share. Feel free to share any of your snack and meal secrets.

Thanks for the tips Mindy! I'm going to try the pumpkin one as it sounds delicious - like a little pumpkin pie! Keep up the good work and congratulations on your success to date. Jo

Eggs are great! Sometimes I just forget to use them which is a waste of a good food and my guys love them! Your snacks sound good. Don't forget the whipped cream in a can hardly has any fat and calories and is great in hot drinks like low fat cocoa. : )

I'm going to try the graham cracker cool whip thing...that sounds like something I'd like (and DS could eat it too since he wants whatever I'm having).
I like toasted cucumber sandwiches.
When I find that I'm not eating enough fruits and/or dairy. I start making smoothies (non-fat milk, non-fat fruit yogurt, with whatever berries I have in the freezer and usually a banana)...it's filling and yummy.
