Hi SJ,
It's funny that I used to live on Lean Cuisine's years ago, that's when I got up to my highest weight ever. They sure taste good and there's a reason for that - they're loaded with sodium, sugar, MSG (read: "natural flavors") and other processed, "chemically", unhealthy, metabolism-zapping ingredients. They make the LC's taste good but I can make tastier meals myself with whole foods at home. ;)
Best thing I've ever done is stick to whole foods, I sure feel a heck of a lot better.
Rock On with your own healthy lifestyle and congratulations on dropping 12 pounds, that's excellent!! :)
