Hello and Welcome to Simple Nourished Living!

My name is Martha McKinnon.

I’m a successful Lifetime Weight Watcher and private yoga teacher based in Phoenix Arizona.

My mission is to slow down and savor life while staying happy, healthy and slim and helping others to succeed.

I’ve written several best-selling eBooks & eCookbooks.

I’m obsessed with cooking and cookbooks.

My slow cookers are my number #1 kitchen secret for eating well while staying slim.

If you’re currently working on eating better, losing weight or cooking more, I’ve posted many helpful (I hope) resources through the years, including articles, success stories, and tons of WW friendly recipes.

Please enjoy my website until it’s no longer helpful.

Sign up here for emails from me if you’d like.

Thank you for visiting!

Warmly,
Martha

Disclaimer/Please Note: I began including nutritional information and Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS  values on my recipes in September 2012.

I’m a longtime Weight Watchers Lifetime Member who believes strongly in their message that it’s not about dieting; its about embracing a healthy lifestyle.

I love that fruits and vegetables are now zero PointsPlus foods on the new PointsPlus program.

But this site is not affiliated with Weight Watchers in any way.

What I write here is about my personal experience on the plan. The views expressed are my own and do not reflect the views of Weight Watchers and the truth is that I don’t religiously count/track Weight Watchers PointsPlus myself.

I became a lifetime member in the dark ages back before points and never fully transitioned to them.

Do I know how to calculate points? YES!

Do, I do it with any regularity? NO!

It takes too much ongoing effort for a lazy person like me.

I’ve been living at maintenance for several years now and when I feel myself getting out of control I transition to the Simply Filling technique until my weight stabilizes.

It’s what works best for me.

I’ve also begun experimenting with intermittent fasting as explained in Eat Stop Eat.
