I'm on week 4 and I am still going strong with my meal plans and sticking to them!
A few things I have noticed since starting this. We tend to have less garbage at the end of the week (or beginning. Garbage day is Tuesday.) I'm not really sure why. The only thing I can come up with is that there is no fast food garbage any more (or very little) and well that takes up space! Also I am doing loads more dishes. This stinks but I know its for the best, so I'm sucking it up!
In the past I have gotten a subscription to E-meals and we have loved the recipes we have actually made. I don't think I have made a bad one. I'm seriously contemplating doing this again. Along with cooking and baking at home, I find that I am gaining weight. Boo!! I don't know if its because I feel the need to have lots of stuff on the table every night instead of a main meal and veggie or fruit. So I was looking at the low carb meal plan. I also think my kids might eat better if it wasn't casseroles and meat smothered in sauce.
Now my only concern with doing this, is that it's all new recipes. I love new recipes, but sometimes (okay, most of the time) it's easier to just put together something that you already know how to do. So I fear that I will get away from making the meals and resort to fast food again!
On the plus side the menu plan is prepped for as well as the grocery list. So that part is a breeze and if I choose a store in town (walmart) the plan the weeks meals around sales at that store. So win win on the spend less resolution!

But for now, here is my meal plan for this week.
