I've been addicted to the same lunch for almost 7 days straight now. Usually I'm the McD's or Cafe Rio type, but I'm on a mission to lose 10 pounds before our Disneyworld trip next month. It's not so much that I have a desire to be skinnier as much as I do have a desire to have shorts that fit for the trip. That goal brought me to this lucious lunch. It's a ham/cheese/spinach/pickle/mustard sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread, 3/4 C of Cottage Cheese with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and fresh sliced tomato. If you're familiar with Weight Watchers at all, you should know that this meal only comes to a total of 5 points. It's fabulous, fresh and filling. 3 pounds down, 7 to go!
Isn't it sad that I will probably gain back the 10 pounds on the trip after eating out every meal every day for 12 days? There will be no 5 point meals on the "idinnerary" (that's what we call our dinner plans).

keep going jess! you are doing great. i'm proud of you.
Way to go Jess!!! That lunch looks delicious!!! You will drop the other 7 in no time!!!
Really? I can eat how many points a day to lose some weight? I know it's more complicated than that, but I would love to lose even 5 lbs. If I eat that lunch every day for 2 weeks and not go crazy with my other meals, do you think I'll lose some weight too??? Share your secrets!!!
You're making me feel guilty as I sit here and finish off my Chipotle.
Yummy! That looks pretty tasty.
Jennifer----most people eat between 20-24 points to lose weight. You can find a lot of WW info at dwlz.com. I'm betting that if you at 2 really calorie-conscious meals, and then had a bigger dinner that you would probably lose weight...it would just be more slowly. GL!
Tia----Yum! I want me one.
Are those tomatoes from the turvy????
Oh, yum! The sandwich looks delicious! I'm going to have to try it out! Have fun @ Disneyland;)
Yumm! That looks great. I have loved doing Weight Watchers simply because I can have great food and lots of choices and still lose. I'm down about 24 lbs since January... and have maintained for 7 weeks now!
Hope you have a great trip! We're planning on Disney world in Oct.
p.s. I had to switch from Dr. Pepper to diet. After a few weeks, I had trouble telling the difference. However, I do not think the same is true when you go from Coke to Diet Coke. Have you tried Coke Zero? Because I think it tastes a lot more like the real thing.
You'll do great. Keep at it!!
