I need to lose 40 pounds.

I am obese and need to lose weight.  I have chosen the Weight Watchers online program to accomplish my goal of losing 40 pounds. There are other methods but this is the one I am going to do. 

I joined the online program for $ per month.  I am using the Simple Start plan for getting started.  This first week I am concentrating on Breakfast.  My week starts on Sunday and that will be my weigh in day. My beginning weight is 185. 

Here is my first week's Breakfast Meal Plan:

Meal Plan

Sunday
     Breakfast -- Egg/English muffins, cantaloupe 
     Lunch 
     Dinner
     Snacks 

Monday 
     Breakfast -- Fruit & Cheese Danish
     Lunch
     Dinner
     Snacks

Tuesday 
     Breakfast -- Veggie Omelette 
     Lunch
     Dinner
     Snacks

Wednesday 
     Breakfast -- Yogurt, Fruit, & Cereal
     Lunch
     Dinner
     Snacks

Thursday 
     Breakfast -- Oatmeal/Cream of Wheat with Berries 
     Lunch
     Dinner
     Snacks

Friday 
     Breakfast -- Scrambled Eggs with Roasted Potatoes 
     Lunch
     Dinner
     Snacks

Saturday 
     Breakfast -- Breakfast Shake, Fruit
     Lunch
     Dinner
     Snacks

I want to try all of these and see which I like and which I don't, which a easy and which require more time and attention, and which I want to just tweak a bit to suit my taste. 

I have some of the ingredients but I made a shopping list for the things I need:

Good for you ! And thanks for the breakfast ideas. I get bogged down ond pretty much eat the same thing every morning unless we go out. Our problem at this house is portion control. I know Ww would help with that.
