Weight Loss

So I am linking up today with The Getts Times to discuss Weight Loss tips and websites I use. I have had some experience with dieting! I am not an expert but I will tell you what I've done. I had a friend at work who did Weight Watchers. She got me interested in it because you can do the program while you are still a nursing mom. You just get more points. And that is awesome! I did it after both girls were born and was successful at losing weight both times. I did not go to meetings. The thought of someone weighing me is mortifying. I checked HERE to get the information on how many "points" I was allowed based on my current weight. I used THIS online calculator to figure out points if I needed to. And my work friend was generous enough to share lots of weight watcher tips with me. She was going to the meetings. She was also having success in weight loss with their program. After losing the weight from the second pregnancy I lost interest and got too comfortable before I lost all the weight I needed to lose. However, by this time my MIL had started weight watchers. She did an AWESOME job. She lost all the weight and has been doing a great job maintaining! She also shared some tips with me she got from meetings. One of my favorite tips from my MIL was for VITATOPS. They are found in my local grocery freezer section but you can click on the website I linked up and order from them as well. My favorite two are the Cranbran and Deep Chocolate, depending on my mood. You can't beat 100 calories and 6 g of fiber!!!!

My MIL discovered these from a website called HUNGRY GIRL. This website has a wealth of information on nutrition, recipes, etc... and you can sign up for daily emails from them too!

I am not a big cook. Probably because I work full time and we are only home for about 2 hrs before it's bedtime for the girls. Which means we get home, play a little, eat dinner, and get baths and get to bed. And that's packed full. I do make these alot:
My girls love them and so do I and it's a good 'diet' food. I also like the Arnold Sandwich thins:

I eat them when I make sandwiches or sometimes I add pasta sauce and fat free cheese to make pizza or I might cook up some sauted mushrooms, peppers, and onions and add in some diced tomoatoes and eat with this bread. (another one my MIL introduced).
Obviously excersize is alway key to losing weight but with our busy schedule I rarely have time. I am really active with the girls so that counts now, right?! I do try to work out when I can but I can't say I'm a regular. I am back to dieting but right now I'm counting calories. My knowledge of Weight Watchers is very helpful though! I know alot more about food than I ever did before I followed their program.
So how about you? Do you have weight loss secrets you'd like to share? Recipes for good diet food? Websites you visit for info? Get over to The Getts Times and link up, or check out the other linkies!
