Weight Watchers Wednesday Week #8 & 9…
Well today it will be 2 weeks since I have officially weighed in at WW, it’s been a crazy 2 weeks, I have had very sick kid’s & I also came down with a “low grade” flu or something for about 3-4 days & I have been very, very tired for a long, long time (dragging my arse!) & I found out today it’s because my iron is very, very low (joy’s of being a woman!). So I’m not going to lie to you it’s been a struggle but, I have still been journalling, trying to watch what I eat & still managing to exercise. I seem to be maintaining, the weight that I have lost I have managed to keep it off but, of course I should definately still be losing! & in 6 days I will be off to Hawaii, so I won’t be weighing in again but, I will keep following the “plan” & when I get back & settled from holidays I will be back to weighing in at WW & attending the meetings again. So here’s a recipe for you:
Chicken ‘n’ Cheese Casserole (a real WW recipe)
2 cups cooked macaroni
2 cups coarsely chopped cooked skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cups canned condensed cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
2 cups fat-free milk
8 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. In large casserole, combine all ingredients, mixing well.
3. Bake, covered, 35-45 mins. Remove cover; bake 10-15 mins longer. Serve immediately.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: I just make this in 1 large skillet & than bake in the oven. I use low-fat cream of mushroom soup & I just serve salad with it. This is a staple in our household, I have been making it for a while now.
Prepare-Ahead Tip: Combine all ingredients, cover, & refrigerate overnight, then bake as directed.
Makes 8 servings

well at least you didn’t gain a ton.. you maintained.. that is good..
the recipe looks yummy, I will have to try this one too…
ww is the wayt to go…I lost 93 pounds since 1997 and fir the most part have kept it off within a pound or two. Keep it up and you will be plead\sed with the out come
Do you know how much a serving is? (1/2 cup, 1 cup??) I am on WW, too. I lost 30 pounds since Sept., but I haven’t been writing down my food, so I haven’t lost any more…only maintaining. Which wouldn’t be bad, except I have 30 more to go before my daughter’s wedding in October! So, this week I started writing everything down again. Its so easy to eat more than your point allotment…even when you are eating approved foods. I guess if it were easy, we’d all look like a million bucks, right?? Thanks for sharing the recipe. I’m always looking for ways to fix foods I like!
mmm, looks yummy too! I cooked a turkey on Wed, so before I freeze the left overs, I think I’ll make this and just replace chicken for turkey. Hawaii??? OOooh!
