Weight Watchers Weekly Recipe & Link RoundUp

Welcome to my Weight Watchers Friendly Weekly Recipe and Link Roundup

Encouragement and inspiration are critical whenever you’re trying to change your habits. This is especially true when the habits involve eating better, losing weight and creating a healthy balanced lifestyle.

Sticking with the slow and steady sensible balanced approach to lasting change can seem dull and out of step when everywhere you look people seem to be swinging between overindulgent excess and extreme deprivation based diets.

My mission is to provide you with a constant supply of motivating articles and enticing Weight Watchers friendly recipes to encourage your pursuit of a happy, healthy, balanced life.

Here are this week’s hand-picked selections, as well as the most popular recipes on Simple Nourished Living this week. Enjoy!

75 Delicious Weight Watchers Freestyle Recipes – Katie has assembled a collection of Delicious Weight Watchers FreeStyle Recipes which includes her favorites, along with some from fellow bloggers. All with 7 SmartPoints or less. (You Brew My Tea)

Tortellini Soup with Italian Sausage and Spinach (6SP) –  A hearty soup combining Italian sausage, tomatoes, broth and tortellini to warm you inside and out (Recipe Diaries)

Chick Pea Salad (2SP) – This chickpea salad recipe is great for winter when it is hard to find fresh vegetables depending on where you live. I think I’d make this salad even easier by skipping the cooked onion and garlic and instead sprinkling on one of my favorite seasonings of the moment, Penzeys granulated roasted garlic.

Healthy Egg Roll Noodle Bowl (6SP) – This noodle bowl has all the fabulous flavors of an egg roll, stir-fried in a pan, then loaded up with brown rice noodles, making it gluten free! (SkinnyKitchen)

Slow Cooker Chicken Chili (0SP) – Zero Point Spicy Chicken Chili that’s made in the slow cooker couldn’t be easier to make and is really delicious. With just enough spice, plenty of veggies, and lean ground chicken you will love all the flavor without any guilt. (Slender Kitchen)

The Skinny on Weight Loss Sisters Week #106 Video

Notes from the video:

• Kelly lost 2.4 pounds this week.
• Kim lost 3 pounds after gaining last week.
• They both feel they are doing well adjusting to the new Freestyle plan.
• Kim feels like the reason for her success was drinking lots of water.
• Cognizant of not eating too many eggs and bananas. Know your culprits.
• In no way felt hungry even though they don’t tap into their weekly points unless necessary.
• Mason jars for portioning out meals for lunch and/or dinner.
• Don’t like to cook but have transitioned through the years because it is necessary and have learned to enjoy the process of finding things they like. They are cooking more.
• They have ordered an InstantPot.
• The best thing about tracking is the ability to look for trends or common food that you ate a lot that might have negatively affected your weight loss.
• It’s a lot of trial and error.
• Moderation is key. Try not have too much any one thing in a day.
• If you are struggling with Freestyle, just keep at it. Commit to tracking if you are struggling. It gives you a view of what you are doing. It’s information. It’s knowledge. Track. Track. Track.
