[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 195922, member: 805"] Wendy, Here's a couple observations - Not sure what Lean Cuisine meals you are eating, but you can actually fill up longer, healthier, and yummier by making your own lunch. For example - 2 slices of whole grain bread (3 pts), 1/2 package of that thin (cheap) lunch meat (1 pt), low fat mayo or a tasty mustard (1 pt), then add to that a combo of any of the following: sundried tom, lettuce, peppercinies, pickles (dill only), reg tomato, grilled peppers, or any other veggie (0 pts). Add to that a nice serving of spicy salsa to be skooped up with 14 ff pringles (1 pt) and for dessert a ff pudding or jello. That lunch is really filling (the veggies and the whole grain bread will fill you and keep you satisfied for hours) and only has 7 points. That is probably equal to or less than a frozen lunch (I am not a fan of he prepared frozen stuff of any brand). Another option - take a can of the Progresso Light soups (either 0 or 1 point for the whole can). Add on the side some wheat saltines or a serving of those thin pretzel crisps. That lunch is only 3 or 4 points, depending on the soup. Then you can add an apple or a banana or some almonds around three to head off the hunger. I am a real proponent of preparing your own meals. Another option. On Sunday afternoon grill up some chicken breasts and take them for lunch sliced on top of a nice big salad. I grill up some chicken every weekend to have during the week. Go ahead and grill up some peppers and oninos as well. That would be my suggestion one - make and bring your own yummy, low point and satisfying lunch. The second option would be for you to try the Core program. When I joined WW I had absolutely no desire to do Core because it seemed so limited. But easy child and started that a couple weeks ago. I love it!!! No counting, no brainer!!!! That way you don't have to worry about the points so long as you stick with the things on the food list. I have found it very freeing. And, you get an additional 35 points a week. That translates into 5 points a day. You can use those points for things like bread for a sandwich, or a little handfull of nuts, a fiber one choc bar (one of my favs), or some ff pringles every day. Or, you can save them up for the weekend and have pizza or something. I'm only into week three of Core but I really like it. I lost 5.4 the first week and just lost another 2.8 this week. easy child lost 2.8 this week too. I can honestly tell you that I have not felt hungry since starting Core. I hope some of these suggestions work for you. Sharon [/QUOTE]
