I retired a pair of Pants today! They were an expensive, relatively new pair of pants, but I don’t care! It’s a very good thing and while I don’t look like miss thing over there to your left, I’m feeling great and am proud of the accomplishment. I feel like a winner!
So you see … Losing really IS Winning!
And why is that, you may ask? Because I’m on a mission. A mission to have my pants fall down! Yes, I want my pants to get so big that I can’t keep them up. I want to fold them, put them in a box and take them to Goodwill. And this means losing. So with one pair of pants in the donate pile, I’m on the right track and I want to share my recipes with you.
For me, this means making the right choices at meal and snack times and realizing that all food is still on the table, it just takes a bit of planning. I’ll share the foods and dishes that are not only delicious and satisfying, but easy to put together and beautiful to put on your plate to not only treat yourself, but to serve to friends and family as well.
We’ll explore fresh ingredients and creative ways to integrate your favorite foods into your eating plan, whatever kind of plan that is. Anytime a recipe is posted you’ll find the nutritional values and Weight Watchers Points Plus totals posted so that you can implement the recipes into a plan that works for you.
I can’t guarantee the success you’ll have on your own weight loss plan, but I can guarantee that I’ll work hard to come up with ways to make your meals more than the usual broiled or baked chicken and steamed vegetables that so many think losing weight means and we’ll limit the use of packaged, processed foods. You’ve heard it before, but it rings true — it’s not about deprivation — it’s about a lifestyle change. Making good choices and portion control will lead you to the kind of healthy life that works for you.
Next up … Kitchen Essentials
I am looking forward to meals that taste great and that don’t taste like they are diet. I am tired of meals that come in plastic boxes.
Wow! How fun to have a comment already! I will announce the site tomorrow, but in the meantime, while I prepare the first food post, I will revel in your note.
Congratulations on the new site, Fran! I’m excited for your new direction
Also, double-congratulations, on taking away my last excuse for having a huge butt. It certainly looks as though I will have plenty of great recipes to choose from on your site!
Thanks Maggie! I’m hoping people find it useful.
Fran – First and foremost, congratulations of your latest success! I am so thankful to find your site today! I am a lifetime WW member, but I fell off the wagon, and I just got back on two weeks ago. I lost three pounds my first week. It really works if you stick to it, and thanks to your great recipes, I will have more inspiration to do just that!
Susan, I’m so happy you found me and that this little blog can be an inspiration! I hope these recipes fit the bill and know that you’ll find your way back to your goal with ease. This current program makes it just so easy and having endless recipes at our fingertips sure does help. And … CONGRATULATIONS on the loss!!
I’m SO happy for you Fran !!! I know what you mean…and wait till you see yourself in pictures !! That’s the best part!
(between you & me, I have to run to the gym….this week has been terrible for me ;(
Thank you Christina! It feels so good to be on this journey, especially with support from around the globe.
