Thanks Brenda. I am sure that I will make this and try it. We love a chicken
tortilla soup recipe that I have. I will have to try this one on my husband
when he gets back. You know how men protest at anything they might think is
low fat or "diet". But I think this will be good. Thanks!

It is a keeper PR. I'll definitely make it again. I posted it earlier in
the week and it seems as though several of the members here are wanting to
try it now. It really is quite good. Enjoy it!

I don't remember who posted this originally but it's one of the few that
I've saved. One of my daughters is visiting me next weekend and I intend
to try this recipe on her. Her boyfriend's on WW and they're always
looking for good, inexpensive, low cost meals. This one looks like a
keeper.

Chipotle Chicken Soup

Serves 6

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1" pieces
1 can fat-free chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cups tomatoes, diced
1 cup green pepper, diced
1 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 chipotle chilies canned in adobo, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 bay leaves

Combine all ingredients in a 3 qt. or larger stock pot. Heat to
boiling,
cover and simmer until rice and chicken are tender. To serve top with a
spoon of sour cream if desired. Enjoy!

Here's a short synopsis by Joyce -

How many points you can eat is only based on your current weight, as you
lose
weight those points allowed will decrease (logic is that your body will need
less
to operate). At 183 pounds and based on the new US flexpoints system, you
will
have a set point target of 24. In addition to this you are allowed 35
flexpoints
to be used throughout the week ... as well as any activity points you earn
on a
particular day. When your weight drops to 175, your target drops to 22
points ...
weight reaches 150, target once again drop to 20 points. 3 servings of
dairy of
recommended per day, 5 servings of fruit and veggies, minimum of 6 glasses
of
water.

To calculate food and activity points, I love this computer desktop
calculator ...
http://www.xmission.com/~zythra/downloads/points.exe

WW suggests your ideal weight should be somewhere between 116 and 145
depending on
your age.

The basic plan is easy. Eat at least your minimum daily number of points.
Points
do not carry over from day to day. You are allotted 35 weekly flexpoints to
be
used at your discretion ... can divide them up and use daily (would be an
additional 5 points per day) or save them and use them for a special
occassion
during the week. Activity points are earned based when exercising, but can
ONLY
be used on the day they are earned.

If you can afford $15/month, the online ww program might be a great thing
for you
to look into. There is lots of information available, as well as the food
point
database and journaling system.

Disclaimer: As an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, asdww is unusual in that
most of the people who participate are respectful, considerate folks who
freely share their experience with and knowledge of WW, weight loss, and
maintenance. Yet occasionally, spammers, trolls, and flamers show up to post
advertising, false information, insults, and the like. Nearly all of the
time, people like this are just trying to yank someone's chain. Most of the
regulars on this newsgroup offer their experience as a suggestion to try if
you're stuck, but are quick to advise that each person has to find what
works for him/herself. If someone posts something that doesn't sound right
to you, ask the newsgroup, ask your WW leader, or ask your health
professional.

Much success on your weight loss journey! WW works!
