Are you ready for another week of new recipes on the Weight Watchers Freestyle Plan? I have some new recipes this week that are low in points but high in flavor. Also, I will include the shopping list as well. Do you find the new shopping list helpful? I hope so! Anything that helps save time so we can concentrate on our new way of eating and getting exercise is super convenient. And, most of all, always feel free to dispense your daily points throughout each day’s menu.
Here is what I am serving up for Week 17 – Weight Watchers Freestyle Diet Plan Menu – Week of 4/23/18.
Evening Snacks for Week 16Â – 4/16/18
First of all, listed below are the evening snacks I ate on Week 16. Every week, I try to make it a point to carry over 4 points daily in case later in the week, if I am in a position where my food choices are limited.
