Dave’s Weight Watchers Update (week 2)

Dave’s second week on Weight Watchers update (make sure you read the introduction to Dave’s weight-loss journey here and the week 1 update here):

We are two weeks into my WeightWatchers experience and I am down eight pounds. I’ve tapered off some from my blistering weight loss rate from a week ago, but I am still losing consistently. Not to mention, I feel better, and I don’t feel like throwing up if I work out longer than six minutes.

And I will say this, I’ve done my fair share of dieting, fasting, juicing, detoxing, calorie counting, and the such. WW is the only thing I’ve done that does not feel like voluntary water boarding. With that said, I’m only two weeks in. So if next week, I end up sharing tales of uncontrollable weeping and gnashing of teeth, don’t hold this post against me.

Some recipes we tried this week:

Chicken Noodle Soup
*Make your own chicken stock here.

Baked Potato Soup
*This one is a family favorite that we make weekly.

Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

Here are some additional recipes that will work well on WeightWatchers:

• Coconut Chicken Soup
• Healthy Wraps using Flat Bread
• Grilled Salmon with Spicy Teriyaki Sauce
• Rice Bowls with Teriyaki Chicken and Ginger Slaw
• Best Banana Bread (low-sugar recipe)
• Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic-Butter Sauce
