Meal plans are a fabulous tool to have on hand! I have found that it greatly helps me out in the areas of staying focused and knowing what I’m going to eat for the week. When you don’t know what you’re going to eat, you tend to binge snack on things that happen to be at your disposal. Meal plans have helped me stop my binge eating and no-stop daily grazing.

I actually have a meal plan available for you to download! I created one when I started my Weight Watchers journey a little over 4 weeks ago. I created one with Instant Pot Weight Watchers recipes filled out with points, and then one that is blank for YOU to fill out with your favorites and track your own points.

My main goal in keeping track of everything on my blog is two fold:

I wanted to see how many Instant Pot weight watchers recipes were available and marry my love for my Instant Pot with my journey of wanting to join the Weight Watchers diet plan.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could create delicious and healthy meals while counting points.

I’ve met both goals! As of today, I have officially lost ALMOST 10 pounds!! I’m so excited, especially since less than a week ago I came down with pneumonia and back slid a little bit with my eating habits. I snacked on a couple of bags of small chips. You know, those kind you put in your kid’s lunch bags. I keep a box on hand for my ever eating and forever skinny nephews. I’m amazed with how much they eat!

The Search for Instant Pot Weight Watchers Soup Recipes

This was my new journey in life: Finding Instant Pot Weight Watchers soup recipes. I was “dying” in bed from my pneumonia, and I wanted something hearty, healthy, and full of broth. I didn’t want to have to slave over the stove and have to watch a pot of soup simmer and then having to wait for the joys of being able to eat it.

To my delight, I was able to find an amazing selection of weight waters soup recipes for the Instant Pot; however, I was a little sad at the same time because there really isn’t a huge selection. With the Instant Pot Weight Watchers soup recipes that are out there, they are pretty fabulous! So far, I have made 3 of these soups: Potato Leek, Chicken taco, and Chunky Beef, cabbage and potato.They turned out fab!

Did I change any of the soups up? Yes I did. Mostly adding my most favorite Cholula hot sauce to them. When I’m sick, I have the biggest craving for spicy types of soup. Mostly because it helps to open up my sinuses a little bit so I can breathe, and feel that it helps me to sweat out the fever and crappy crap that’s blocking my system. I know it’s all psychosomatic, but I feel it truly helps!

WW did change point values for about 200 items in their new FreeStyle and Flex program. I’m still very new to points. If the points are updated to reflect system, then I will update it. However, most FreeStyle points are up to date!**

I’m sure that there are plenty out there as far as Instant Pot soups go, but none within the guidelines of Weight Watchers — At least, without some modifications.
