I did weight watcher's for a little while. Here are a few ideas:
2 turkey burgers w/o bread and with lettuce, tomato, onion, etc...whatever you like on burgers
a veggie(grilled, sauteed, or steamed)
mustard potato salad(adjust for points depending on use of mustard or mayo)
This whole meal approximately totals to 12 pts. give or take
You could do red beans and rice. 1 cup of beans =2pts. and if you use brown rice I think a cup=4 or 5pts. If you put smoked sausage in with the beans use Healthy Choice and only serve yourself with 2oz of sausage=2pts. Make a fresh green salad with a low-fat dressing and you whole meal is about 10 pts. give or take a few.
I used to make chicken salad. Sautee a chicken breast(depending on what brand and how lean the chicken breast is the points vary) and put it in the food processor and grind it up. Add about 2 tbsp of low-fat may, some chopped pickles, onions, (or whatever you like), garlic, a chopped boiled egg=2pts., salt, and pepper. Use pita bread and stuff with the chicken salad. Make some green beans and a fresh green salad and your meal is about 10 pts.
When I was on weight watcher's it was all about lots and lots of chicken or turkey and lots of veggies. I started coming up with creative ways to eat them, though, b/c after awhile you get sick of eating them the same. Instead of white pasta, try whole-grain pasta and same with flour. I ate pork and beef every now and then, but they are higher in calories and fat, so you might want to limit that while dieting. I'm sure that you know that portion size is key, so if you want to eat side dishes(i.e. stuffing, pasta salad, etc...) that are higher in calories and fat you have to limit your portion. Try to drink lots of water. Limit sugary drinks. I hope this helps and good luck.

Try my wifes recipe chicken & salsa verde and spinach salad. Rita & her sister run a female health site and have this healthy recipe featured on the site. It was designed by a chef to be easily made at home. Trust me it is out of this world.. The link for the recipe is below. Enjoy and good luck on your weight loss.

How about a mixed leaf salad with watercress and baby plum tomatoes and a jacket potato? Just what I fancy now!

Suggest you buy a cookbook at your next weightwatchers meeting.

learn to cook, and stop buying instant meals would be a good start. know whats going into the pan... read labels... i know is sad, but its scary... everything has sugar and salt in it... and is loaded with chemicals...
