I tried the Weight Watchers app and it worked

In early June, I was sick of feeling like my weight fluctuations controlled me. That’s when one of my coworkers suggested I try something that I hadn’t thought of in years: Weight Watchers. Specifically, the app that you get to use when you become an online member of its program.

That’s right, Weight Watchers — the diet your mom was on in the 90s. And thanks to the app, you don’t have to go to weekly meetings to step on the scale anymore if you don’t want to.

I tried it, and I lost 10 pounds — something I hadn’t even thought was possible before. And I didn’t have to cut out wheat, dairy, meat, or sugar to be successful. Plus, I didn’t feel guilty about food for the first time in years. Via techinsider.io

Weight Watchers’ Healthy Tailgate Recipes

Consider swapping out traditional pork brats for turkey brats, which are healthier and leaner. Simply split the turkey brats down the middle, then char them on all sides over the fire. Slip them into toasted whole-wheat buns — and top with jarred roasted red peppers, jarred pickled onions, bagged shredded carrots, and mustard. Via newson6.com
