Simple Start : Top Reasons to Try it + My Progress, Video

Simple is a Great Reason for Simple Start

For this Simple Start: Top Reasons to Try It! post, I was given a free one month subscription to Weight Watchers to try their new Simple Start plan and write about my experience. Though I was compensated for my time and commitment, all views, positive and negative, are my own. Simple Start Breakfast Pizza Recipe!

Just a Simple Recap!

As you may have read in my initial post: Snowmageddon, Snowpocalypse and Snowzilla! Help I need a Simple Start!, I am trying the two week . In that post, I discussed how I am going on long delayed (15 years) Honeymoon Cruise and I want to look my best. Drawing inspiration from Jessica Simpson, who just had a baby and is working on getting fit, I am walking 10,000 steps a day (using my Note 3 to keep track) and starting on the Simple Start plan. I downloaded the Simple Start app (available for Iphone and Android) and started trying all the great Simple Start meals.

I have made PROGRESS! Here’s what I like about Simple Start so far…

I have been trying Simple start for a week now. I constantly think about aspects of the program I love! If you are considering starting your year off right, you might want to hear all the things I adore so far.

1. The Shopping List — When using the Simple Start program you can print out a great basic shopping list. Check off the foods you need and add others you want to buy. I may just adopt this as my main shopping list. I only wish it was available on the Smart Start app to check things off!

2. 55 Different Meals to Eat — During the 2 weeks you are on Simple Start, you have 55 different meal and snack choices! All the easy recipes are right on the app and the Weight Watchers Site. When I am hungry, I like to look at the pictures of what meal I can make or eat next!

3. The Simple Start App — The Simple Start app is like having a second brain. During my first week on the program, I found can take it to the store with me and use it to consult on the go! The pictures are vivid and it has really helped with meal planning for the last week! 4. Meal Swapping is allowed — You can substitute breakfast for lunch or lunch for supper! This aspect of the plan surprised me in the first week. I adore eating breakfast and salads so I find myself eating more of those meals than dinners!

5. Webcasts–The Simple Start program has regular interactive webcasts which you can register for once you have started the plan. You can watch them live once or if you miss them (like I usually do), you’ll get a email letting you know they are in the archive. I have watched the first two webcasts. I find them super chatty and friendly. They are packed with REAL tips for making Simple Start work for you because they are led by real Weight Watchers leaders!

6. Simple to Prepare Meals and Snacks –When I began Simple Start last week, I was nervous. I had never done Weight Watchers before and I was afraid it would be too complicated, but after a week I realized it isn’t! I am able to pick from great meals, prepare them quickly and I feel full. I hardly ever have a snack (but I do eat my indulgences each day!) Watch this video to see the great breakfast I prepared for myself.
