| I've been on WW for a long time - but I really don't have any recipes, per se. What I do is try to cook very low fat, substitute splenda for sugar, and things like that. I try to lower the fat and calories in everything I cook. I do have a trick that I think is very good. It is yogurt cheese. You get a large carton of fat free plain yogurt and you put it in some cheese cloth or an old thin tea towel. You "hang" it in your fridge and let it drain for about 24 hours. At the end of the 24 hours, it has the consistency of cream cheese and can be substituted for cream cheese in any recipe. It has about 10 calories per tablespoon. It will reduce to able half of the volume you started with. I like it on baked potatoes. One of my favorite recipe's is green salad. 2 packages of sugar free lime jello 1 carton of fat free cottage cheese 1 cup yogurt cheese (can use more or less to taste) 1 small can crushed pineapple - well drained (you can rinse it to reduce calories) dissolve the jello in a cup of hot water. Put in fridge or freezer till almost set, but not quite. Stir in carton of ff cottage cheese and yogurt cheese (I use the mixer to stir in the yogurt cheese - but I leave some "chunks" because I like to taste it). Stir in the pineapple. It is a great dessert or snack. Also, you can use any flavor of jello you prefer. You can leave out the pineapple, if you want even lower calorie.

| I started WW too!!!! Last Friday; I decided not to officially start until tomorrow because I need to go shopping for some healthy foods. I tried it for a day; and felt deprived of food; and was super cranky. I don't know if I can do it...I have zero willpower!!!

Get the low fat whole wheat graham crackers Sugar Free, Fat Free Cool Whip Put Cool Whip *serving according to tub* between two crackers Freeze overnight very yummy!! And should be only one point if you get the right graham crackers! Quote: Originally Posted by twalla This is from my week 7 book and OMG the picture of them look delicious!!!

Top each with 1 tblsp of choco chips and sprinkle cinnamon. Top each with another cracker. Cut each cracker in half, making 8 sandwhiches. Place each sandwhich in center of a sheet of foil and wrap, making 8 packages. Set the packages on a baking sheet and bake until hot and melted, about 8 minutes. Open packages carefully and serve at once.

| Are you doing the CORE Plan or Flex Plan? By you stating the 35 per week, it makes me think the CORE Plan.

| Oh ok... Sorry I am not going to be much help then. I dont know anything about the Core plan. Everyone that is doing it with me at work is on the Flex Plan. I am sure someone on here can help us out with the CORE plan tho!! The points seemed easier to me which is why I chose that one.
