Hi All! Being a guest blogger, I feel as though I have to introduce myself. My name is Roni and I normally blog over at my place, WeightWatchen.com<\/a>. My claim to fame, if you will, is losing 70lbs on Weight Watchers, which I\u2019ve kept off for 2 years now.<\/p>\n

\"WeightWatchen.com\"One of the things that helped (and helps) me become successful on this weight loss attempt (believe me, there were MANY attempts) was my willingness to try new foods. I think most of us now know that a successful weight loss plan needs to be something that we practice long-term. Dare I say a lifestyle with all the advertising that\u2019s going on. Anyway, if the plan we choose has only specific meals or foods we can eat that may put us in a position of getting bored, returning to old eating habits and going off plan. Which may lead to disastrous results, like gaining even more weight (yes I\u2019ve done that too).<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the answer?<\/p>\n

Well, it may lie in your refrigerator.<\/p>\n

Shortly after I joined Weight Watchers<\/a>, I hit my kitchen. Soon, I realized with just a little creativity and some practice (ok, ok A LOT of practice) I can make good healthy foods at home. Something I think that is very necessary for long-term weight loss success.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure I would be where I am now (weight-wise, that is) if I didn\u2019t get creative and keep things fresh in the kitchen. Now I know that not everyone has the \u2018cooking gene\u2019 but there are many resources out there to help give you ideas, hold your hand and even inspire you.<\/p>\n

A few months ago I started GreenLiteBites<\/a> where I share my kitchen adventures on cooking and eating light. I post about new foods<\/a> I’ve tried, share my recipes, and even post tips.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, if an amateur blog isn\u2019t your style, a lot of places are focusing on healthy, light recipes, like CookingLight.com, Healthy Cooking at TasteofHome.com and even the Food Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So I say, give it a try! Hit your kitchen and see what you can come up with, you may surprise yourself!
\nThank you, Roni, for sharing your kitchen and weight loss insights with DietsInReview!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
