introduction
Hello fellow Weight Watchers members!
Anyone who knows me will realise how much I enjoy my food. So when
I signed up to Weight Watchers Online in August 2012, I was delighted to
discover that you dont have to give up good food to lose weight. Phew!
Im lucky enough to be able to eat out a lot, and with Weight Watchers, I
still can. Im enjoying a range of fresh wholesome meals with the odd pud
thrown in.
If anything, Weight Watchers has helped me enjoy and appreciate my food
even more, because now I know how to make better choices from the menu
whilst keeping an eye on portion sizes. Knowledge really is power.
The great thing about the ProPoints plan is that you can eat whatever you
want, as long as you keep track. I like to be really strict through the week,
so I save up my 49 weekly ProPoints allowance and all the activity ProPoints
values Ive clocked up in the gym. That way, I can splurge on the weekend
Friday night is party night!
When Weight Watchers asked me to create some recipes that members
could enjoy as they lose weight, I wanted to offer you a selection of the
meals Ive been enjoying myself. This book is a collection of some of my
favourite recipes some are ideal for a mid week meal, whilst others are
more indulgent and will help you host the perfect dinner party. The myth
that if youre watching your weight you cant have fun and enjoy your food
is well and truly blown.
I used to think dieting was all about deprivation but Im delighted to say
I was wrong. So far, Ive lost over a stone and Im the lightest Ive ever
been in my adult life. I feel amazing and I still enjoy my food. If I can do it,
anyone can and whats more you can do it whilst eating some delicious
home cooked meals.
So what are you waiting for? Tuck in and enjoy!
