How is everyone doing with their new found Weight Watchers diet? I figured that I'd share some tips for you to help you along your path:

1. Make sure you drink your water! It's very important as it will flush out the sodium in your body as well as help keep you full.
2. Make sure you eat all your points alloted. This will help you get the nutrients that you need while also loosing weight. This is the healthy way to loose weight, even if you only go down .2lbs per week....that's .2lbs less than what you were before. Don't get discourage if you're not loosing 5lbs per week.
3. Whether you're on core or flex and you are eating carbs, make sure that they are healthy carbs. "Healthy Carbs" will break down slower and keep you fuller longer. This includes Stone Ground Whole Wheat Breat (Wonder makes a really good one) and potatoes are considered a good carb (baked potatoes, not French Fries!). Also try to limit yourself to eating these type of carbs once a day.
4. WEIGH AND MEASURE EVERYTHING! What you might think is one serving of pasta, might be 2+ servings. You might think that a 6-7oz peice of meat could be 4-5oz. This will make a big difference in your points as well as your weight loss progress.

Good Luck Everyone! Feel free to post a comment if you have any questions!
