Back on WW! What's your favorite meal?
Holidays are behind me and my weight loss journey begins.. Im a former WW member and lost 50 lbs (over 3 yrs) and 9 of them have found me 
Went back to WW the day after christmas and started the points plus program. Loving the zero pt fruits!!!
What does your daily menu look like?

Re: Back on WW! What's your favorite meal?
I found it can be difficult to eat high carb meals on the new points plus program.
A great (and simple) low point meal is grilled marinated chicken with brown rice and fresh veggies. Be careful with frozen veggies- they can have more points than you realize!
I also like making chicken fajitas. They're pretty low in points.
Turkey and veggie burgers too. I usually have them with a sweet potato or a knish on the side.
Tonight I had raviolis with sauce. I had 5 and they were 10 points!!

Yes we are going to do great!! I recognize your name from another board, so you probably know it's been a tough year for me too... I'll be happy to get this excess weight off!
GL to both of us! On many accounts!!

i would love the fajitas recipe too :) mexican food is my downfall so it would be great to eat it without destroying my points!

Re: Back on WW! What's your favorite meal?
Fajitas are so easy! I just use the mix in the supermarket and follow the directions. I add in strips of grilled chicken and peppers and onions.
2 oz of grilled chicken is 2 pts.
1 Whole wheat tortilla is 2 pts
Peppers and onions are 0
So its 4 pts per fajita.
I usually have 1 cup of brown rice and 1 cup of black beans on the side.
