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!

Tracking what I eat and exercising.
My Aha moment ……
I LOVE how I actually feel when I am eating healthier and preparing my own meals. I plan to have healthy snacks available and the weight watchers point system allows me to make choices that satisfy my needs. I have been researching air fryers and will be getting one soon. Of course winning one would be awesome!
What has been your biggest lesson or “aha” on your weight loss journey thus far?
For me it has been the act of choosing wisely. I now know that I have a choice to walk right by that lemon pound cake at work and eat my apple at my desk..
My “aha moment” is not really a moment…..but I have come to learn and understand about moderation. Also, skipping meals is a terrible way to try to lose weight. Changing eating habits, more veggies, fruit, water, fiber….no sodas, sweets and no skipping meals. Make time to eat something. Have lost 27 lbs since beginning of the year and feel SO much better. Still have a long way to go (hoping for 60 more). Would be amazing to have an air fryer. The meals I could prepare for us! Oh yea, my husband is losing with me. We are really making a lifestyle change. Would REALLY REALLY LOVE this fryer!!
The one that has been most important to my success is taking a smaller serving first, you can always have more. Most time I am satisfied with less. It is just teaching myself that I don’t always need more.
I would have to say adding more vegetables to my diet has added to my weight loss success. I would love the air fryer. I have been eyeing them for awhile now but they are a bit pricy.
My biggest ah-ha moment was realizing that it had to be a family affair. Now even my husband is willing to “try the healthy stuff”. My 11 year old daughter is excited at the thought of winning an air fryer and asked for one for her birthday lol.
I’ve recently realized I’m an emotional eater. I never though I was but lately that realization hit me. I’ve been life time w WW and now trying to get back to that goal. Just need to keep emotional eating out of my plan.
Ah-Ha to me was the 4th time I lost the “same” 50 pounds: Yes, you can do it! Now let’s keep it off, don’t let it creep back on again!
