top 3 tuesday - weight watchers

since i am really trying to stay focused on weight watchers now, i decided to share some of my favorite "go to" links for points information and tips.

i used weight watchers after i had my oldest daughter mackenzie and got very familiar with how it works and lost a lot of weight using this system back then. of course, weight watchers got a face lift and is now using the points plus system, but after doing a little research, i familiarized myself with the new system and really have no need to join or attend meetings. that's really not my thing anyways.

however, if you have never been on a weight watchers program before, i strongly suggest you join before trying to figure it all out on your own.

..........

i love that healthy meals can be created by adding in a serving or two of fresh fruits and vegetables, and that i actually feel full after eating. the zero pointsplus value food list is my go to list for all those "free" foods.

i no longer have to eat bland tasting foods with this list of zero points condiments, sauces, gravies, and ingredients. you will also find a few other unexpected zero points foods there.  


50 ways to make weight watchers work for you, has a lot of great tips and tricks that to help you get the most our of your daily points. some of them are no brainers, and some of them are just simple ways to keep weight watchers simple so you don't fall off the wagon.

..........

anyone else doing weight watchers right now? i would love to know some of your best ways for staying on track.

top 3 tuesday

yesterday i set my mind to it that i am going to finally loose weight, so i feel like i should be talking about that but i am going to hold off until friday.

but, let me just say this real quick...i stopped and got dunkin donuts for my kids this morning and i didn't eat one. i normally would find some sort of excuse, but i held off and didn't do it. they were sweet pumpkin and caramel apple cinnamon too. do you know how hard it was for me? ahhhhh!

okay, moving on...

here are my top 3 favorite links from the past week:

1. amanda over at kevin & amanda posted this about camera settings in certain settings. i found it very helpful as i am always trying to gather as much information as possible to help me be the best i can with my camera.

2. someone on facebook (sorry! raise your hand if it was you!) posted the link to this sunrise and sunset chart that will help me find the best times of the day for taking photos when i choose my location. i never like to photograph when the sun is at it's highest point because we all tend to squint and cause awful shadow. i usually like to take photos within the last couple hours before sunset. I even have a session this coming sunday that this will help me with. with the sun setting much earlier now, i wanted to make sure that i didn't schedule too early or too late.

3. melissa over at hi, baby is having a giveaway for a pair of super skivvies potty training pants. these super cute training pants come in a variety of patterns and make potty training a little bit easier with their washable inserts. be sure to stop by hi, baby and enter to win.
