But first, here’s a collection of Weight Watchers friendly articles and recipes for you. I call these posts, Slimming Bites from Other Sites and it’s been almost a year since my last last one. Crazy but true.
Slimming Bites: Links to Helpful Articles & Recipes for Weight Watchers
The internet is such a wealth of helpful information and delicious recipes for Weight Watchers and others pursuing sensible weight loss and healthy balanced living.
I love sharing my favorite discoveries with you here.
Enjoy!
‘Diet’ products can make you fat, study shows – If you’ve questioned why sugar is so expensive on Weight Watchers SmartPoints Program, you’ll want to read this.
Researchers found that rats fed a diet high in sugar but low in fat — meant to imitate many popular diet foods — increased body fat mass when compared to rats fed a balanced rodent diet.
The high-sugar diet induced a host of other problems, including liver damage and brain inflammation. (ScienceDaily)
10 Reasons I Love Weight Watchers — Alexis, a Weight Watchers Ambassador who has lost 115 pounds and kept it off over the past 2+ years, talks about the advantages of Weight Watchers over other weight loss programs.
As a fellow WW and active lifetime member, I agree with every one of her points. (Organize Yourself Skinny)
Cheesy Italian Cauliflower Bake — A Weight Watchers friendly, gluten-free, low carb alternative to baked pasta with just SmarPoints from Alisha – I can’t wait to try. (Meal Planning Mommies)
Healthy Greek Nachos — Like Kristen, I can see these becoming a staple in our house this summer as the weather is heating up and I naturally turn to recipes that are more fresh and light. Make them vegetarian by skipping the chicken and using either hummus or chickpeas instead. (Slender Kitchen)
Weight Watchers Friendly Vegan Snacks — A collection of snack recipes for those who want to try to keep animal products out of their diet. (Snack-Girl)

AIR FRYER GIVEAWAY DETAILS…
We are giving away the Cozyna Air Fryer (Original 3.2L), recommended by Hungry Girl who said…
If you love the taste of fried food but not excess calories and fat, this appliance delivers. Here at Hungryland, we’ve gotten pretty good at re-creating fried food sans guilt with our own “faux-fry” oven method. But I’ve gotta say, the recipes we tried in our air fryer came out even crispier. It gets better: We tried them with and without a small amount of oil (per the air fryer instructions) and found that NO added oil is needed to achieve that crispy finish.
It’s NOT a uni-tasker. I’d hesitate to recommend splurging on a kitchen gadget that can only do one thing. So I was pretty happy to learn that our air fryer can also bake, grill, and roast. I’m talking meatballs, steak… even muffins and cake! The manual includes a comprehensive chart with foods, temps, and times, which I LOVE.
It’s a time saver! My oven takes around 10 minutes to pre-heat, but an air fryer takes only about 3 minutes. Plus, some recipes cook WAY faster in an air fryer… My butternut squash fries were air-fryer ready in just 12 minutes, versus the 35 minutes they take in the oven!
Clean-up is a breeze. No messy pans or oily skillets. You can toss the fryer pan and the basket right into the dishwasher when you’re done with ’em.
The built-in timer has an auto switch-off feature to keep the absent-minded chef in check. Have you ever gotten distracted while something was in the oven and returned to burnt food? Our air fryer’s self-timer turns off the unit when time is up!

Have a Wonderful Week and Good Luck!
I have learned to work the program honestly and consistently for success.
My biggest challenge so far has been staying on track on the weekends.
Accurate measurements of your food intake is key. You will be amazed at how much 1 cup of something is. I sure was. Logging everything that passes your lips is very eye opening too. We bought smaller plates to eat off of.This makes it seem like your portion size is the same as it was, by just putting your food on a smaller plate. I really want an Airfryer to try. I’ve heard so many awesome things about them. I eat fish several times a week, and have heard that fish is amazing cooked in an airfryer!
I need to eat, within 30 minutes of getting up, along with drinking water, then drinking some more!!
every day begin again!
I have been doing weight watchers off and on for 5 or 6 different times. I have always quit usually when I get pretty close to goal. I have stayed with it this time and am almost 8 pounds away from goal. My instructor is great and I think the best thing is to be at your meetings to get motivation. I also have started doing the Simply Filling plan and changing my way of eating has also got me off of my plateau. This has been a tough journey having a adult disabled son that needs help eating and he loves to eat stuff like Cheetos and Chicken Fried Steak. I have learned to just maybe take one bite and then that is all I need and want. It has took a while to figure that out. Just need to keep tracking and going to meetings!
My most significant discovery has been that support from strangers helps keeps me motivated, validated, and inspired! I’m talking about the Connect feature on the WW app and it is fantastic! I check it at least once every day, and often 2 or 3 times. Connect really keeps me going!
Being encouraged to try again; learning portion control; and discovering new recipes and ways to cook have made this journey fresh and supportive again!
Food is not the enemy
Biggest “AH-HA” moment during my 50 lb. loss journey is realizing drinking water really can quench my hunger pains! Once I realized that, I would drink water when I thought I was hungry.
