As some of you know, I started Weight Watchers two weeks ago today. I lost 2 pounds the first week, and 1 pound this past week. I know with WW it is slow weight loss, but typically it stays off. I am thrilled with my weight loss because I never thought I'd get to this weight. I always thought I'd be the weight I was...because that was just 'what I weighed.' Man oh man was I wrong! I am so happy to be at a below 'baby weight' weight. Heck, I am smaller now than before I had kids!! When I go shopping I still grab larger sizes and get them to the dressing room and think, "Duuuh." I'm not used to being smaller and it has been over a year.
I'm not posting this to brag. You guys know me...I'm not a bragger AT ALL. I want to encourage people that think it is too hard, or they can't do it. I did it, and am still doing it!!!! I splurge, drink my red wine, eat Mexican food and still maintain/lose weight. I hope to lose 8 more pounds. If I get to that weight I will be so super duper happy.
I'm excited to say that a handful of twitter friends are also doing WW. This helps me too because we can swap recipes! I got 2 recipes last night via twitter...whoop whoop!
Last night Gary made tostadas for us. He is counting points also, so this helps me a ton. The kids ate the same thing we did, but they wanted it wrapped in a tortilla.
The picture isn't that great, I took it with my iPhone.
Here is what Gary and I ate:
7 points total
3 Old El Paso tostada shells = 4 ww points
1/2 cup of Bush's fat free refried beans (divided 3 ways) = 2 ww points
1/4 cup of low fat shredded cheddar cheese = 1 ww point
shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onion and
Kroger brand Taco sauce = 0 points
Happy Wednesday!

I love tostadas!!! Good for you guys working together and dropping the pounds. I've been working on exercising...much needed :)
Way to go!!!! I need to lose about 5 more pounds, and oh my word is it coming off slow. Nothing to do with all the chocolate and goodies I've been eating here lately, oh no no no. :P
Congrats, and I say anyone who loses weight deserves the right to brag! Anyhoo, I have a friend who has lost 100 lbs on ww. She still does it to maintain her wt, exercises, and tries to do right because she had a wt problem even as a child. Friday's are her cheat days. She has fried chick livers (yuck) for lunch from a local restaurant, and either mexican or chinese for supper. I exercise with her, and need to be doing the ww with her. WW does have some really good recipes.
That sounds so yummy and I love that it is so low in points! I need to get back on the WW train. I lost around 40 pounds after I had Grant doing WW and it really wasn't that hard either. I just need to get the motivation to get started again:)
SO proud of you, Ang!!!!!! :)
i did weight watchers when lily was 8m old and lost 15lbs. i planned to do it again 2 weeks ago when reid turned 6w (we could have started it together) but i chickened out...i like eating bad. so it's my fault when i realize how far i could have come in 2 weeks and be pleased w/my belly again. ugh! maybe you'll motivate me!
Congratulations!!! I've lost 9 lbs & you better believe I'm bragging! HAHA!! This is a great recipe & easy too. Thanks for sharing.
