I'm not sure if this is the only thread talking about WW tips, recipes, encouragement, but if so I'd like to jump in.

Jump on in jelli! A few of us here are on WW and others are on other plans designed for their needs. We have one common goal ~ a healthier lifestyle with healthy weight loss & motivating eachother to keep up the good work. No fads, no magic wand... just good ol' diet & exercise!

Last night while working my 2nd job, one of the girls brought in a big ol' bag of chips, salsa & queso dip. OMG... my freakin' weakness! It took everything in my power to say NO. I texted D when I was about to cave in, and she sent back, "THINK SKINNY"! I got home and she had popped us a bag of 94% fat free popcorn and said it was "popcorn date time". That little bit of encouragement kept me on track today.

Living in Texas, we have some of the best Mexican food around... and honestly, I crave it constantly. I even got on the WW website before lunch to use the Mexican food cheat sheet, trying to convince myself that I could eat within a certain point range. I KNEW better... chips & salsa are my crack ~ no lie!

I'm telling y'all... I felt like I was in full blown addiction mode.

I got in my car, drove up to Wendy's and ordered one of my favorite salads (chicken cobb), ate my lunch in peace & quiet, and gave myself a pat on the back for making a smarter choice.

Wanna snack on something large, sweet, AND salty!? Smuggle in a serving of this stuff...

Ingredients:
1 standard-sized bag 94% fat-free butter-flavored microwave popcorn
2 1/2 tbsp. peanut butter chips (found in the baking aisle)
1 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:
Cook popcorn according to package directions. Meanwhile, place peanut butter chips into a small sealable plastic bag; using a meat mallet or another heavy utensil, finely crush chips through the bag.

Tonyaboo - This is such a good thing that you recognized your weak spot and asked for encourgement. I love me some chips and salsa and get the desire for the crunchy/spicy goodness.

I think there are a lot of salsas available that are actually pretty low in calories or you could make one at home with the basics. The chip part would be the hard one but maybe some baked chips or a few Rye Crisps would do it?

To satiate my Mexican food craving, I have done a "taco salad" with lettuce, black beans, a few sprinkles of corn, salsa, cilantro, onion, and baked chicken. It REALLY satisfies.

Sure, you can buy salsa in a jar, but our homemade variety is bursting with the flavors of juicy tomatoes, crisp red onions and freshly chopped cilantro.
Ingredients
19 oz canned black beans, rinsed and drained
14 1/2 oz canned crushed tomatoes, fire-roasted, drained
2 medium tomato(es), chopped
1/2 cup(s) red onion(s), chopped
1/4 cup(s) cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp table salt
8 medium tortilla, flour, fat-free
1 spray(s) cooking spray, or enough to coat tortillas
2 tsp chili powder
Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a medium bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, onion, cilantro and salt; set aside. (Note: If you cannot find fire-roasted tomatoes, substitute any type of canned crushed tomatoes, with or without additional flavors.)

Slice tortillas into 8 triangles each. Place on 2 nonstick baking sheets and lightly coat with cooking spray; sprinkle with chili powder. Bake until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Yields 8 chips and about 1/2 cup of salsa per serving.

Ok salsa lovers I got this to say,make it at home.as some of you know in on the low carb diet so I watch the carbs and usely can keep them at 50 to 75 a day with something like 1200 calories or less.If you make salsa at home it has very little carbs cause its made of veggies,to season it use sea salt or light salt..I think I saw some light sea salt at the store but I didnt check it out.Any way,for chips use pork skins they have lots of crunch together they taste really good.If you ever need to use something to replace sugar I use splenda,it taste the same,I can use it to cook with and all is well.The thing that makes store bought salsa so bad to eat for us trying to lose weight is they use all kinds of preservativers and inhansers that have lots of calories.Since I have been watching carbs I have felt better as each day has gone by.I didnt start on the Adkins diet plan where you start with no carbs at all but am following the diabetic food plan wich at first I thought was going to be hard,in a way it is only cause I do miss the sweet stuff I use to like

Rockinonahigh · 07-12-2011, 04:15 PM

Today I managed 8 laps of the pool,when I started I couldnt do but 3 or four so I am improveing,I am not much of a swimer but I try as best I can.I didnt do anything else to day cause its suposed to be my easy day but I just feel I need to do something more..so when I cools off some tonight im going to walk up the block and back its a little more than a half mile but will have to do.This afternoon when I was leaveing I was ask by the desk person why I go to the weight room nearly every day,I told her I need to build up the muscels cause I didnt want the weight im loseing to end up being hanging fat that I have seen happen to so many when they lose a large amount of weight...by time I get to 200 I would have lost 103pounds..and as I have 54 more to go I go to the weight room as much as I feel nessary.Her reply was..but u will turn into a muscel bound weight lifter..women arent supose to look that way..I told her I didnt have time to educate her on my reason as I wasnt a teacher nor did care to be.She looked so clueless its not funny..maybe oneday a light will blink on in her head.

nycfem · 07-12-2011, 04:50 PM

It's funny that you mentioned rye crisps because that's exactly what I use. "Finn Crisp Original" is my favorite kind: tasty, not high in sodium, and pure whole grain. I melt a little organic mozzarella on top and dip it in a spicy green salsa so that I drink a lot of water with it to fill myself up. It's one of my favorite snacks!

little_ms_sunshyne · 07-12-2011, 08:28 PM

Tonite we are definitely back on track...

For dinner Skinny Sloppy Joes w/apple string fries (actually yummy)

Dessert: lowfat Strawberry Squares ( they tasted like sugar cookies with strawberry filling...yummola!)

The meal kept us on calorie budget! If there is one thing I have learned about myself is that I have to have dessert to keep me from cheating. So I am always searching for new recipes to keep that sweet tooth in Check

Keep it up everyone! I made it through Tuesday!

Pinkie~ way to go on beating temptation!!!!
