Planning for weight loss means planning! Planning meals, planning grocery lists, and planning the cooking. Yes, it does take work, but we are worth the extra time and the investment into our health. So to help me and to also help you, I sat down and devised five days of 23 WW Freestyle point menus.
Keep in mind, that while I do like to cook, I am busy! Getting home after a long day of work means that I do not always feel like making dinner. Plus I have to pack my lunch for work, or I do not eat. There is no other option for me. The following meals are a mix of easy, fast, and maybe just a bit more at times.

There you have it – five days of 23 WW Freestyle point menus! Each day is filled with delicious and filling foods to enjoy. Plus there are a number of snacks added in case you start to feel hungry. Remember tho, you don’t always need to eat all 23 points! You are able to rollover four points each day and save some of those points for the weekend!
What I have loved about WW Freestyle program is that is has me eating a healthier diet. The way that the points are calculated, you automatically steer away from foods higher in sugar and saturated fat. Those foods are substantially higher in point values! So to get more bang of your buck, so to speak, out of your points – you automatically reach for the lower point healthier options.

Thank you so very much Stacey…. I just joined WW and went to my first meeting this past Saturday. It was GRRRRREAT…..! But your meal planning is just what I needed to get a “feel” for what exactly a daily meal plan looks like…. yes the point count booklet is very helpful but putting it all together into a “look forward to it” kind of meal plan is just the perfect “springboard” to get started in the right direction…. thanks again….
Pat, I’m so glad! Welcome to the WW family. It is great to have some favorite fall back meals for when life gets busy! Check out my post, Stocking your Kitchen for Successful Weight Loss.
