First of all, a BIG thank you to Mrs. Mojito for helping me become part of the Weight Watchers Wednesday club-a-roo!
I've been reading some great blogs for awhile now and stumbled across some Weight Watchers themed blogs in December/January. At the time I had three great girlfriends that were trying their best to stay consistent with their Weight Watchers plan...so I forwarded the blogs to them but kept reading them myself as well just for kicks.
When we were in North Carolina, my friend LaGina tried to talk me into doing WW with her. She needed a meeting buddy and since I was already her workout buddy her next plan was to make me her WW buddy as well. She made one appetizer for me WW style - spinach artichoke dip - I almost barfed...I hated that it was all fat-free this and fat-free that. Barf. So I decided WW was NOT for me...I needed real food that tasted normal!
Fast forward to these blogs that I found this January, about two years later. I was reading the recipes and seeing all of the "normal" ingredients that they used. Not only did the nutritional information look great, but the recipes sounded delicious! So, my friend Jenny gave me a quick run down of WW and here I am 7 weeks later and 13 pounds lighter! I have really enjoyed the Flex Plan and all of the simple ways that it's made me feel like a healthier version of myself.
So...Weight Watchers Wednesday was started by some lovely blogging ladies to help others on the same WW course stay healthy while getting great tips for their own WW plans. I've found great advice from these gals...just fabulous advice...and I plan each Wednesday to post a personal WW update, a favorite recipe and a tip for YOU as well in order to begin or just simply maintain your own healthy lifestyle.
This week I'd like to pass along one of my favorite blogs for WW recipes, Gina's Weight Watchers Recipes. I am making her Turkey Stuffed Zucchini tomorrow and I have high hopes for her Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice that I'll make sometime next week!
Until next week...

I am so excited for you though you have never looked like you need to lose weight. I know, I know...the wedding....Even though I have been following sparkpeople, I still convert everything to ww points during the day b/c it is so much easier to remember so I can log them in later! I also use some of the ww blogs for recipe ideas.You are right! The lower fat recipes have come a long way baby!!!!
Keep passing on WW recipes! I love them. The one constant thing I've heard from people who have lost weight is "Weight Watchers actually works... if you actually stick to it." Which is more than I can say for a lot of diets out there. Good luck!
