hi,
i'm doing the flex plan while trying to integrate healthy foods into it, and i highly recommend it. here's a sample day for me:
breakfast -- 1 cup thawed frozen blueberries mixed with 1/2 cup fiber one and 1/8 cup walnuts--this is really yummy and healthy. i also eat 1/2 cup of lowfat cottage cheese on most mornings, especially with i'm lifting weights.
midmorning snack -- carrots or apple or both
lunch -- right now, i'm alternating between three different lunches.
1. yves vegetarian ham & swiss (2 slices of ham, one slice of deli-thin kraft cheese) on 100% whole wheat bread with mustard
2. almond butter and honey (1 tablespoon ab, 1 teaspoon honey) on whole wheat
3. fat free refried black beans, salsa, with 1/8 cup 2% cheese on a la tortilla brand tortilla (only 50 calories for the tortilla)
midafternoon snack--salad, usually 2 cups of spinach, romaine, or both, topped with 1/8 cup walnuts. for dressing, i mix 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil with balsamic vinegar and occasionally dijon mustard.
dinner -- more variation here, but sometimes i eat something as simple as a sweet potato with a little earth balance (margarine substitute that's not hydrogenated) with steamed veggies. i also eat things like brown rice with tofu and veggies and whole wheat pasta topped with homemade marinara-style sauce. fantastic food tacos on the la tortilla tortillas are also a bit hit in our house.
i hope this is somewhat helpful. basically, you can structure what you eat in any way you like so long as you stay within your points values. i'm a vegetarian, so that definitely shapes my diet.

Let me preface this by saying...I'm not a healthy eater naturally...I have to really work on that...the flex plan leaves you feeling less hungry if you like and can eat a lot of vegetables...but here is an idea of what I may eat:
Breakfast: coffee with no more than 4 tbs.(up to 6 tbs. for 1 point) ff half n half and one packet of splenda per cup(2 cups)/High protein cereal bar(2 or 3 points) - total 4 pts. I eat REALLY early so I need something quick in the a.m.
Snack(7:15 or 8:00 a.m.) - Lt. string cheese/apple or natural apple sauce - total 2 pts.
Lunch (10:40 a.m.) - I teach kindergarten and we eat this early - 1/4 c. tuna creations wrapped in a whole wheat totilla w/spinish leaves - total 4pts.
Snack (2:00) - pria bar/pineapple - 3 pts.
Preworkout snack (time varies) - Lt. yogurt w/all bran cereal sprinkled on top - total 2 pts.
Dinner - (time varies) - lean meat/green beans/WW sweet brown bread - 6 pts.
Total pts. for day - 21 pts. -
If I'm weight training or really hungry I will have another snack and use up some activity points. Also, if you are following WW and being really strict I would recommend that you use some of your activity/flex points or you will be really hungry and will probably give into a binge of some sort. WW on line gives you a lot of meal/snack ideas. You could eat a lot more vege's than I do for just a couple more points. I have just joined back up and lost 3 pounds in two weeks. Originally I lost 23 pounds with WW. I now want to lose the last 9 pounds. Good luck!

Good Morning Angela
It sounds like weight watchers is working great for you. I went back maybe 7 weeks ago. I am a lifetimer but of coarse slid back a little.
I am doing the core program and love it. I didn't do good with journaling so the core is working out great. I have lost 2-to 2.4 pounds weekly the first 4 weeks and now I am averaging about a pound a week. I have 1 1/2 pounds to go before my goal but I want to drop another 8-to 10 pounds to hit my personal goal. I just love going to the meetings again I have met so many nice people there and my weight watcher leader is a gem!!.I wish you luck on losing your last 9 pounds you will get there keep up the gtreat work. I am going to go workout and do cathes max intensity cardio and get these pounds off, LOL.
I wish you the best!!!!!!!!!!! and have a great day.

I am a ww lifetimer I am just about 10 pounds to my personal goal.ww is a life style change and I go to the meetings for support and motivation. I eat protein,egss,oatmeaL ect.I am following the new ww core plan and I eat a very healthy,carbs,proten,veggies,fruits I eat very balanced and very healthy and I feel more energized as well. I workout with weights,cardio,kickbox,taebo,pilates,stability ball workouts,power walking ect.I have a treadmill and total gym also that I still use on occassionand with my christmas bonus I am buying a new bike for outside and I can't wait. I love to mix up my workouts,for me I found mixing my workouts and instructors I have better results. I have lots of cathe workouts and many other instructors as well and I have great muscle definition in my upper and lower body.
I know a lot of people that do the BFL and like it but I have always loved ww and I plan to stick with it the rest of my life and I have learned that for me going to meetings really help keep me focused and the weight off.
I am sure someone can shed some light on the subject for you for the BFL I wish you the very very best.
Good luck to you. There is a BFL board on the weight watcher websight on the fitness challenge board I am sure they could answer all your questions and they would help you all they could.
Good luck to you.
