The Eat Out book points the salads as follows:
Crispy chicken & bacon (no dressing/no crackers) - 9pp
Crispy chicken (no bacon) - 7pp
Garden Side salad - 0
Grilled chicken and bacon - 4pp
Grilled chicken (no bacon) - 3pp0 -

Having a good weekend food wise so far
Stuck to my 29pp yesterday and am not doing too bad today - have BNS chips in the oven at the min! Trying to save my weeklies for Thursday as I have friends arriving for the weekend and we will be going out for dinner on Thursday
Went to Step last night, unreal - I had sweat coming out of places I didnt know could sweat :eek: It was a good w/o! Then today I went made cleaning the house, even got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the bathroom floor! It's lovely now!
Have the ultimate motivator to keep going now - have booked a weekend to Barcelona with my mam on June 19th:D:D Cannot wait! Really hope I can get to goal by then so that I can feel confident in a bikini - especially beside my mam who super trendy 0 -
I was having a really good day, until now. Woke up had a healthy fry, went out to do some couch to 5k and jogged 20 minutes
OH and I went to do the food shopping, and when we came back he was reversing (my pretty newish car) into the driveway and mistakenly went into the wall
All white scratches on the back bumper, I am devasted, I know that sounds a bit much but I LOVE my car, have always loved my cars almost as if they were like children (Ok I know I probably sound silly to ya's now..) And neither of us have the money to fix it
Had planned a cinema trip tonight but all I want to do now is reach for the crisps, chocolate and vodka Have already eaten my way through half a packet of Dubliner Light Cheese slices 0 -
Hi - I'm planning on meeting some friends in Dublin next week and they all love going to Iskander's for shawarms. I also love shawarmas (especially chicken), and so was just wondering (more like worrying) how many ProPoints there'd be in one shawarma - the whole thing, with the laffa/pitta bread and the chicken.
Can anyone help me figure out the PP for this? Thanks in advance.
Have never heard of it
but have a look at SkinnyDoll's blog, she has PP for takeaways. I had a look and couldn't see what you were looking for but maybe it will give you an idea... 0 -

Ah no, sorry to hear about your car Monife! I think Halfords have a thing that you can get and it will rub out scratches - provided they aren't too deep though! Worth a go maybe?0 -

I'm using my daily points everyday and every single one of my weeklies and have lost both weeks I've had weigh in. I don't use my activity points but to be honest I suppose I wouldn't clock up a whole load of them in the week anyway, walk 4 eves a week.
Well that's good to hear! I think I just can't get my head around the fact that I'm having treats. The scales will tell on Tuesday! 0 -
javagal well done that must be a great feeling, I can not wait to feel the same, I have a dress I hope I can fit in soon!
Lady Lainy love your posts so inspirational and you are right ww is a lifestyle change not a diet
I went to McDonald's with the kids for a treat, I was good and got the salad, any one have any idea points wise I had the chicken with out the batter or what ever it is lol I'm guessing 7 pp but guessing is messing lol
I find the best meal in Mcdonalds is the grilled chicken mayo wrap 9pp with side salad (no dressing) and a diet coke or water0 -

Have re-found my absolute love for salted cashew nuts. Killer on points!! 7PP for 40g Let's hope I can stick to 40g... One thing I notice is I am savouring each one for ages where before I would have just shoved and handful in my mouth, and then a minute later, another handful!!
Aswell, was at the cinema tonight with the OH, and got a medium popcorn (around 12PP as per SkinnyDolls blog) and it last the WHOLE movie and I didn't even eat it all. That has never happened before, again, usually plowing it into me, but I was savouring it and taking breaks without realising. Yay my stomach has shrunk 0 -

Nope, the old one was the one at WW class!
Decided to do it at home last week because I can't make the classes anymore. bought the scales last Sat and weighed in and then yest I was the same as per that weight :-/
It's probably due to the potatoes. Today my mum is cooking a roast chicken and I'm gonna have it because I have too much study to do. This will be my third lot of potatoes this week. I wouldn't normally have potatoes and it's definitely affecting my weight this week. Focus on your exams and once their over you can get back on track 0 -

thats first thing on my to do list next weekend! Bran muffins! Throwing my self back into ww full hearted from next weekend! exams will be over and done with...and have the summer to focus on me again and get two and half stone off by christmas!
My mum is in absolute bits this morning ate all round her, and is kicking her self. Like she's 60 and still doing "diets" Low Carb High Protien, Tony Quinn ect...i dont want to be still worrying about my weight in 30 years time!
I did eat what ever i wanted last night....just took a small portions of it it was all self service, so instead of a dinner plate, i used a side plate to eat off of.
I even had my cake...and ate it too.... :P tho its very hard to eat quickly while standing up balancing drink and food...which helped me to not wolf it down...the slice of cake took about 2 hours to eat...
I knew no one at the party last night....so when I felt my self reaching for more food out of boredom i took my ass home! might sound rude...but hey...i wasnt drinking much...and when you dont drink at a party...you eat at a party...and i didnt want to be over eating. plus the party was on next door...if i was missed they could have come found me haha!
Definately another reason i want to lose weight......to be able to wear high heels without crippling my feet! my toes turned blue last night cos all my weight was being put on them in the shoes...most women have makeup in there bag going to a party....me.....i had a pair of runners....and thank christ i did....0 -
Out of curiosity, I was having a nose on the Unislim website.
Eh, a lot of their recipes sound VERY similar, almost identical, to a lot of WW ones. Wonder who is the sneaky begger there
actually my bran muffin recipe is from unislim hehe :P just tweaked here and there slightly as i got better at baking!0 -

You might have lost, there could be s discrepancy between the two different scales.[/QUOTE]
Thanks I'm using the weight I weighed in at on my own scales as my new starting point. Same day,same clothes same place every week!
Hopefully the double loss will show this week lol...I always found when I had a great week when I was going to the class it never showed until the following week despite maybe not having such a good week then when the result didn't initially show...0 -

Yeah it is. I'm a sucker for creamy mash potatoes. Can't say no to them. Since I started WW I haven't had them that much at all and I don't really miss them. Its when I get a taste of them then its downhill :rolleyes:Lady Lainy wrote: »thats what i find this week....just dont even want to think about cooking....mentally dont have the energy for it...thats why i got a load of pizza and just bang 1/2 pizza in the oven with some ww chips or home made wedges...my mum cooks potatoes 7 nights a week for my brother....so last two weeks its just been so easy to say mum can u peel me some spuds....
My mum cooks them nearly every night as well so its just been handy this week to have them. I'm looking forward to my roast dinner today. Can smell the chicken now
Oooohhh might get a ristorante pizza for tomorrow. Handy and will put me in a good mood!0 -
Hi,
Just wondering.....since fruits are all 0 pp's now....does that mean a glass of Innocent smoothie would be 0pp too?
I have exams coming up this week too and am finding it hard to stick to my points
No fruit is only 0 pps in its naturall form. Juices and smoothies have to be pointed but they are normally only 1/2 pp. If you make your own smoothies you can make them at 0 pp. If you search the last few pages of this thread I know some of the girls have put up how they make them.
I have exams atm and the last 2 days have been dreadful food wise. I just binged on snacks. I would try and stock up on low pp treats so then if you are snacking then at least it's low points. And try and track everything you eat. While the last 2 days have been bad, I have pointed everything and I'm still within your weeklies. Use all your weeklies during exams if you have to!!0 -
Very proud of myself! Went to a friends house last night for a few drinks. I've started drinking Coors light because it's easy to keep track of how many I've had but I decided last night to have wine. I brought a bottle of dry white (18pp), 2 West Coast Cooler 250ml bottles (10pp) and a bottle of Diet 7up (0pp). I didnt leave my friends house til 5am and the drink lasted me the whole night. And best of all, no hangover this morning! Usually I lose the run of myself when it comes to drinking and end up way over my points.
Hopefully I'll managed to be down on Tuesday. I'm still waiting for the last few weeks to catch up with me!

Feeling extremely lazy today. Guilty I didn't get out for a walk and don't even feel like cooking the dinner...
Thinking of going to Zaytoon... Does anyone know the approx PP in their bread that comes with the (chicken) kebabs?
I think someone pointed it a few weeks back, i'm not sure how to search the thread yet 0 -

I've been getting some funny looks in the last week or so(brought diced, boiled, smoked bacon and diced beef salads) in work. I used to buy my lunch in work, but the salad bar is a) pricey(a nice big salad could end up costing €5/6) and b) not that healthy(everything is draped in mayo or salad dressing) so bringing my own is a much better option all round ... and let them munch on their oversided portions of roast dinners or pies or chips and ????? while they snigger at my homemade food :cool:
Good stuff. Economical for your pocket and your waistline I usually always bring my own lunch unless I am lazy or there is no food in the house. Tomorrow is a BLT consisting of WW Pitta (3PP), Lettuce, Tomatoe and 3 Tesco Medallions (3PP) and small bit of lighter than light Mayo (not enough to PP) so a total of 6PP, plus a packet of snax (2PP).
Well back from Zaytoon and instead of getting my usual kids meal, I went for the WHOLE HOG. Chicken Shish Kebab, sauce, their homemade bread (which is like a naan the size of a dinner plate :eek:) and chips!! Written off the rest of my dailies and weeklies for it. Was really going to be good this week and only eat half the weeklies but that has gone out the window... think it might be because TOTM is due in a few days.
Us poor women ha ha0
