    Thank you for all these videos! I lost approx 100 lbs about 20 years ago & have maintained since, but with really unhealthy habits. I gained about 20 lbs in the last year, started WW & lost it but I know I need motivation to not burn out! Your videos are so inspirational!

    I love this! So much better than meal prepping all at once. I agree that I get tired of the same meal, and this is a brilliant way to ensure you can track each component yet have the flexibility to create what you're in the mood for. Thanks for the info!

    Hi Nikki ! I love your videos, as you are teaching me so much ! I am a senior that never had a weight problem. However for the past five years or so I put on about 20 pounds. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, the isolation and loving my own cooking I put on another 10 pounds. Depression set in. None of clothes fit. I had no idea how to diet. A friend introduced me to WW, and reading through the app was very confusing. Thanks to your videos, I am learning to cook in a way that is sustainable. Plus I am learning about new products and where to buy them. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

    • @bettycarroll663
      @bettycarroll663 Před 2 lety +2

      I could have written your comment! I was on WW 25 years ago; kept the weight off, but when COVID hit I discovered how much I love cooking/baking. I too was depressed, clothes stopped fitting. I am now 2 month into WW and am losing just fine, however, while I am a senior, I am learning new tricks from Nikki also Good luck to you Teresa.

    Thank you! I learned so much from this video. Will definitely be trying a few of these. I love zucchini and peppers too. I prefer them roasted. Olive oil, sal and pepper and I serve it as a side dish. Yellow squash also works well.

    Great ideas! It's so helpful to have things prepped and have foods you like that are ready to eat or throw in a meal. I'm looking forward to trying the different seasonings you suggested. I find that when I eat less sugar, I appreciate other flavors so much more. I've been making a big pot of WW Crockpot Mexican Chicken Soup and eating a bowl of it every day. It's so easy and yummy! The everything bagels will be perfect with it.

    I got a veggie chopper off of amazon and it helps so much with prepping veggies for the week. I love your idea about the chicken tenders, how did I never think of just marinating chicken in different flavors to change it up? We'll be trying this this weekend for sure!

  • @DonandBirdieHarms
    @DonandBirdieHarms Před 5 měsíci

    Can't wait to try the pita bread and buns. I LOVE your turkey burgers!!!! You are so creative in your cooking and you make it so simple. I have planned out 14 days of meals and have the points all calculated and they are foods that I like but just a tad modified to make them low points. This is SO DOABLE!!!! Thank you so MUCH!!! Dieting used to be so hard. This is already becoming a way of life. I'm amazed at how quickly I have gotten to know how many points something is.

    Have you tried the G Hughes sweet n spicy BBQ sauce on grilled chicken? It’s absolutely delicious! I even put it in my turkey burgers for extra flavor. I prefer jasmine rice too as well as peppers and onions in many recipes like chicken fajitas. I love your videos.They help me stay focused on my own WW plan.

    Great ideas! Love these videos! It's so helpful to see how you do these things. I'm just starting out on WW and have a lot to loose. I've made burger bowls for the last two nights. I made my rice in my insta pot since I don't have a rice maker but I only made 1 cup (dry mix) to make sure it worked! now I need to make a bigger batch tonight. Jasmine rice is amazing.

    I love these tips. I do some of the same things, but never thought up prepping the turkey burgers your way. I usually portion them out and freeze with no seasoning. Next time I’m doing that for sure. I’ve been adding zucchini to my veggi mix, along with carrots and celery. Thumbs up on that tip!! Thanks a bunch!

    • @LindaC616
      @LindaC616 Před 2 lety +2

      I great 1 carrot and one zucchini into a pound of turkey. 1 and a 1/2 teaspoons of thyme, some salt and pepper, 1 or 2 cloves of minced garlic. Makes fabulous burgers. Optional egg

    I have just recently came across your channel. I love the content and I especially love meal ideas. It is possible you when you do prep videos that you turn the camera down so that we can see what you are actually doing. I know you are telling us but seeing how you are doing something like kneading,
    etc may help those like me more.

    @margaritagirl2629 Před rokem

    Thank you for all your great suggestions and congratulations on your weight-loss! When I was watching this video though, I noticed you weighing the turkey burgers on your scale. If you want to put it in a bowl, but don’t want to include the weight of the bowl just press that left button where it says tare…
    you just put the plate or bowl on the scale and press that tare button and then it will zero it out with the bowl on it, then put the food in the bowl… This will keep the food directly off the scale and weigh only the food…just a suggestion lol.😊

    AH!!! I've been trying to figure out why you call it "two ingredient dough" when there are 3 ingredients but I just figured it out! It's only 2 ingredients if you use self-rising flour opposed to how you prefer to do it! Gaaahhh, that was driving me bonkers, lol!!

      @kristinaswift8759 Před 2 lety

      You’re not alone, it took me like a week of watching her videos before it clicked in my brain 😂😂😂 WW refers to it as 2IG dough in every single recipe but yes you’re right, she just makes her own self rising flour. And it’s delicious, I’ve been using it for everything since I found this channel!
