As I have mentioned in a previous post, I am currently paying for Weight Watchers. I am paying the $39.99 per month fee that includes unlimited meetings and access to eTools, which is WW diet recording software. Lately I have been very frustrated with the online tools – there are so many glitches in the FlashPlayer Diet Planner/Activity Planner that it often takes several tries to get my entries to post.
I am, for the most part, sticking to frozen entrees – especially for breakfast and lunch. Sometimes, for dinner, I will make something in a large quantity – like a soup or stew in the crockpot. Then I freeze the remainder so that my husband has meals when I am not cooking.
I was looking up the nutritional information for a Healthy Choice entree when I noticed that they have expanded their site to include a diet and exercise planner called Start Making Choices. I have not signed up yet, but I may.
Other sites that have diet plans are Amy’s Kitchen and Lean Cuisine. Of course, Smart Ones has a site: It’s called WeightWatchers, but they also have a community message board on their frozen entree site. Kashi also has a community message board as well as coupons for free entrees.
The Amy’s Kitchen website has a pretty extensive section on what they call the Amy’s Diet Plan. There are 14 days worth of menus and shopping lists as well. I might try that sometime, but it has usually been difficult for me to plan ahead when I am eating or dieting. I guess I got that from my parents. I am a very impulsive eater.
Lean Cuisine’s website offers Wellness Tools, and you must also sign up for that. It is supposed to include a meal planner and a fitness planner, with pre-planned menus. I will check it out later.
