    There has been many posts this week on Weight Watchers.  Tonight is my first meeting.  My question though is this...I'm not a huge fan of cooking...my husband normally cooks.  He's supposed to be joining me tonight but I never know with his job if he'll be home at a decent time, so it might be just me tonight.

    For someone like me who doesn't really like to cook during the week, will I have trouble sticking to the plan?  How many of you cook your meals for the week on Sunday?  Perhaps that is the route I need to take?!?!?

    I don't cook my meals on Sunday, but I do plan what I am going to eat for the week.  If you can cook everything on a Sunday I think that would be fine.  I think that you might have trouble sticking to the plan if you don't plan your meals ahead of time.  The reason I say that is because if you don't plan accordingly for your points, then you will be more likely to go over.   WW is definitely a program that you can succeed on!  I lost 24 pounds last year with basically no working out in about 5 months, and my loss could have been much greater if i had really done the whole Activity points thing.  I'm back on it now, hoping to get in wedding shape.  you can do it!

    I order take out/eat out with FI ALL the time and I did that the first time I did WW (and lost 20 lbs).

    I cooked "slightly" more than I had previously after joining, but mainly I made smarter decisions about take out/restaurant meals as well as portion sizes.

    I don't cook on Sundays for the whole week - I cook a bigger 'Sunday' meal which often leaves me with a protein leftover for work. 

    However, I do plan like another poster down to what groceries I need to buy and on the menu for the week, I even try to put the points value for the recipe I have.  If you'd like the template I use for menu planning (an excel sheet), just PM me.  It's super easy, convenient, and saves me money.

    If you don't like to cook, I'd recommend frozen dinners with a side salad.  Or learn to cook a few staples that you can alter in to a few other recipes (Rachel Ray style).
