If any of you are on Weight Watchers, I was wondering if you could post a sample menu? Or if there is already a thread on this board that has this information please could you direct me to it. Thanks in adavance and congrats on your success!!

I'm doing weight watchers, and having success, but I think I'm going to quit as soon as my package is done (I bought 9 weeks at a cheaper rate.) because I work out so often that I need more food and more protein than they suggest.

around 9 I eat cereal (kashi go lean crunch or oatmeal for women) and soy milk for 4 points,
around 11:15 I have a three point snack of yogurt usually, then around 12:30/1 I have lunch (usually a lean cuisine, or something else for 5-6points),
then for second lunch I have a sandwich (usually light bread, turkey breast or london broil lunch meat, lettuce, tomato, miracle whip)--that's around 2:30/3.
Then I have an afternoon snack (usually around 3 points) which can vary greatly from day to day. It just depends on what I have around.
I eat dinner around 6:30 or 7, and it is can run anywhere between four and ten points, depending on how hungry I am and what I've eaten during the day.

Yesterday, for instance, my day was kind of unusual and went like this:
9:00 oatmeal and apple sauce 3.5pts
11:30 crackers 3pts
1pm lean cuisine 6pts
1:45 yogurt 3pts
3pm corn, chicken breast, refried beans, lowfat shredded cheese and salsa 8pts
4:30 some popcorn 2pts
8:30 roasted potatoes and whole wheat roll and slice turkey breast 5pts

(I also work out for about an hour and a half each day, at a pretty high intensity.)

Not sure if this helps, but that's the way I use WW.

I've lost 30 lbs. so far, so I guess that's successful. Here's some sample menus.

Breakfast

2 Special K waffles 2 pts
1 Tbl. maple syrup 1 pt.
1 Tbl. peanut butter 1 pt

5 pts.

1 Sara Lee mini bagel 1 pt.
6 slices Hillshire farms ham 1 pt.
1 wedge Laughing Cow Light cheese 1 pt

3 pts (sometimes I put an extra cheese on for 4 pts. total)

1 Surito (whole wheat burrito) 0 pts
1 egg + 2 egg whites 2 pts.
1 Morning Star veggie patty 1 pt.
salsa 0 pts.

3 pts. (sometimes I add 1 more sausage for 4 pts.)

Lunch

pita 2 pts.
turkey 2 pts.
light mayo 2 pts.
baby carrots or other veggie 0 pts.
orange or other fruit 1 pt.

7 pts.

Lots of times I have leftovers from the night before

Dinner

I usually get recipes from cookinglight.com. I love fish and chicken.

For snacks I eat Skinny cow ice cream sandwiches (2 pts.), Skinny Cow fudge bars (2 pts.), or Jello fat-free pudding (2 pts.), or low-fat popcorn (3 pts.)

The WW veggie soup is also a great snack when you have no more points left.

I go to aerobics class 5 times a week, walk three days and stretch every day, plus some weights.

Hope this helps!

I weighed in at Weight Watchers last night and I am down 36.2 pounds. Here's some sample menus from my journal:

Breakfast: Yogurt= 3 pts.
1/2 English Muffin w/ sugar-free jam=1 pt.

Lunch: Huge salad w/ some meat (tuna, chicken) 3 pts.
Lite dressing 3 pts.

Snack: Special K snack bar= 2 pts.
1 piece of fruit= 2 pts.

Dinner: Chicken Breast, grilled=3 pts.
1/2 cup rice w/ soy sauce=2 pts.
Green Beans=0 pts.

Snack: FF pudding cup w/ cool whip free= 2pts.
low fat graham cracker, crumbled in pudding=1 pt.

My snacks help quell my sweet tooth, and I never go more than 3 hours without eating. Drink lots of water and eat within your point range. I tried eating about 17 points a day, thinking I would lose weight faster and I quit losing and came to a halt. The program works and this site offers great advice...good luck!

Wow you guys have given me great ideas. I have about 120lbs to lose and I need to do Weight Watchers because it allows me to have regular foods and maybe I will not feel like I am on a diet. Keep them coming. Question for Sheila53, what is laughing cow light cheese? Thanks you guys!!!!
