Weigh In Wednesday!

Good morning friends! It’s time for weigh in Wednesday! I hope you all had a great week and had some fun navigating the new Points Plus plan. I was pretty sick last week so I wasn’t able to commit 100%, but I made the best choices I could under the circumstances {aka HORRIBLE sinus goo}.

Ok here goes…today’s weight is…130.6…yayee! Down 1.4. Better than I thought! 2.6 to go. I can do it :)

How did you all do? When you comment, feel free to let us know if you were up or down or any questions/concerns you ran into. I’ll do my best to help out! I wish my replies were right under each comment, but I can’t figure out how to do that! So if you have a question, just look for your name for the answer! We had a staff meeting last week so I am aware of the concerns some new members are having. Have no fear…I know it’s not easy, but the plan works if you work the plan! Have a great week!

Here is another favorite recipe to try…

Chicken Parmesan

PointsPlus™ Value: 6

1/2 cup(s) dried bread crumbs

1 Tbsp italian seasoning

1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste

1 tsp olive oil

1 1/2 cup(s) canned tomato sauce
