Back on the Wagon!!!

OK - It took me long enough. Eating whatever I wanted for a month, and on Sat. night, I ate so much that I was sick- and I realized that enough is enough. So I ate pretty good on Sunday, and am doing fabulous today! Having the yummiest lunch:

Alternative Pita Pizzas
2 Pizzas: 7 Pts

On each pita (Alternative Pita made by Western Bagel-only 1 pt. a piece - you can find them at Vons), spread about 1/8 C. Jarred Pizza Sauce (I use Trader Giottos from Trader Joes- by the tomato sauce)
Then top with your favorite veggies (I used tomatoes for mine today)
Sprinkle 1/4 C shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
Tiny bit of grated Parmesan on top

Bake or toast (in Toaster oven) till cheese is melted.

cream of broccoli soup

Okay, I'm super excited that this blog was made!!! I've been on w.w. this time for about 5 weeks now. I have a million and a half pounds to lose, thanks to baby June, but here I go again. I lost all my weight after each kid with w.w. it really works if you actually do it, amazing right? Anyway I'll be totally honest with who ever is going to read this... I have about 60 pounds to lose, no food was off limits for me while prego, but now I'm paying for it. The nice thing is no matter if you have 6 or 60 pounds to lose there are a ton of people who are in the same the boat, now we can get ideas from each other and make it that much easier to get to our goal... good luck to everyone!!!

This soup is really great & super fast & easy to make.

Cream if Broccoli Soup: 1 1/2 cups is 2 points
What you need:
2 (14.5 ounce) cans of reduced sodium chicken broth
2 ( 12 ounce) bags of fresh broccoli florets ( I imagine you could use frozen, I just never have)
1 small chopped onion
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 cup fat-free half & half
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Combine the broth, broccoli, onions, & celery in large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat & cook, covered, until the vegies are tender, 13 -15 minutes. Let the broccoli mixture cool about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into a blender in batches and puree. Return the mixture to the pan & stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat just until heated through, about 1 minute longer.

I've decided I'm bulimic...I just keep forgetting to purge!

I know we have all felt this way! So what better way to help keep us on track while counting points. That's right...we're talking weight watchers. This blog is for you all to contribute your favorite low point snacks, meals, whatever! Or it can be just a good way to post and vent to others who know what your going through after you've finished all your kids leftover french fries. They know when to stop...why don't we? So here is how to be a part of this community blog:

How do I sign in?
Sign in under the gmail account and password that was emailed to you.

Post your recipe for a snack, meal or groceries. Pictures are great but not required. Or post to vent...about dieting that is!

*Remember to sign your name at the end of your post as all post will say posted by "babyfat."
We want to know who is posting what. That way we can blame you if it tastes disgusting!

Before publishing post please add necessary LABELS...located in the lower right hand corner of the posting box. Most of you will need to create your own labels as we are just getting started. My ideas for labels are: 1 point, 2 points, 3 points, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, success stories, not so successful, and groceries (places to find certain brands of low point foods or just the staples: bread, yogurt, etc...). Remember some post will have more than 1 label. For instance, I like yogurt and granola for breakfast but my version is 2 points so I would put it under both breakfast and 2 points just in case you want it as a 2 point snack.

By the way, I'm labeling this post success stories...because starting this blog..."SUCCESS!"
