Hola-
Well, I am starting weight watchers starting on January 2nd. My sis in law lose 25 pounds and is maintaining at this time. WE both weighed the same and now she is so damn skinny! So I have to try it.
One problem....I HATE cooking. My sis in law said she would cook for both of us but I have to take care of my own lunches. Could anyone tell me any reallly, really easy lunches that I can take to work? I don't mind eating the same things over and over again. I'm not picky at all. I just don't want to think about it. Also, how many times a day sh ould I be snacking??
Any suggestions would be awesome!
For lunches, here are some of my faves:
-Progresso Zero-Point Soups (they are WW endorsed)
-Lean Cusine (the WW points are on the boxes)
-A sandwich with WW bread (two slices for one point) with Healthy Choice meats, mustard, RF mayo, and RF Kraft Cheese Singles
-A WW Pita (one point) filled with hummus and green peppers
Stuff like that is what I usually eat. I also eat some veggies or fruit with it so it's more filling. Hope it helps!
Here's something filling without being a lot of work--- all you need is a microwave at work to nuke it up.... I HATED oatmeal and I LOVE both of these varieties--- I usually had to add a TON of sugar, but the natural fruits in the oatmeal means less added processed sugar. ENJOY!
