Menu planning - Anyone interested?
 

I noticed on the flex board that several members post thier menus (with points) each day - anyone interested in doing this?

I think it would be a great way to get some new meal ideas!

I will join you texas here is what I have planned for today
btw I did get the infor on the wendie plan so I hope this kick-starts my stallking weight loss. Today is a low day, and tomorrow is my SHD. Do you think it is legal to have several glasses of wine in that SHD count?

28/28 - I must eat something green tomorrow :)

I go to this asian place near my work she takes a thin sheet of seaweed (looks almost like green paper and has no taste) puts a little sushi rice then a few cucumber strips, rolls it up then cuts it into 12 pieces. they are approx 1" tall and 1" around each. You just dip them in a drop or two of soy sauce and eat. They fill you up and not a lot of points.


Todays menu hmm will have to get back to all of you on that
