Can anyone help me out pointing homemade chicken soup from a cafe.. I'm away at my parents in law and have virtually no control over where I eat... It was soup or tea and cake!!!!! I don't want to lose the run of myself as I've 15 points left, minus whatever for soup and she has the bacon and cabbage on now.... And we're heading for drinks later!!!!

It could be anything really....its impossible to even roughly point it without knowing how it was made....it could have been made with milk, cream, creme fraiche, fresh stock, butter,

you'd be the most suited person to pointing it...was it rich? creamy? thick, runny? clear like a broth?

As you said...it was either soup or cake.. .when you cant point...you just make the best choice based on common sense....and i think you did make the right choice...try not to fret too much...and just make healthy choices and enjoy your weekend

LinK3 · 28-05-2011 6:30pm

Thank you Lainy... It wasn't creamy but I could taste potato... I'm running out of points fast, I just had some lean bacon, not sure of points for that either..I was so good last week when they came to us, and I still put up 2 pounds..So I'm going to point as best I can and enjoy myself.. I still have 47 weeklies left yet do I'm not going to worry..

You think you're bad - I went over by 24 today! But, that's what weeklies are for.

Exactly and GT, wait until your daily points dwindle, you'll be delighted with the weeklies.

Thanks, everyone, for the advice about the goal. I do need the support of the leader and the incentive of going to meetings to keep going but I think I will see how I get on this week and then decide if I'll keep going to 10stone or just take 10 2.

In other news, I went shopping today to see if I could get a dress for a wedding in August. So fustrating, I went into Monsoon and none of their size 12 dresses fit me and I tried on a size 14 and it fit ok, but the top part was too wide. Then I went across the road to Coast and got this dress to fit me perfectly in a 12! http://www.coast-stores.com/ELVIRA-DRESS/Dresses/coast/fcp-product/2143411509

Why can't shops use the same size guides? :mad::mad:

I did feel quite good

And even better when I went in to see my friend and she was like "you're so skinny"

That said, she is 7 months pregnant so everyone is skinny to her

Stunning Dress!!!

And thanks for the cauliflower soup recipe, bought a cauli today with the plan to make a soup for work next week with it and I love fennel.

Why oh why am I so useless at drinking water on days off work, have managed about a litre today. OH went out to watch some match that's on so I'll be meeting him later and might down a few ballygowan's, that might do it, though to be honest I kinda fancy a few drinks as in need of them!

OH's 22 yr old daughter lives with him , oh and by default with me too!!!!, but thank christ she's in college in Cork end September to end May though she does come down every weekend. Anyway she's down for the summer full time now. To put it mildly we do do not get on, this lady couldn't live with her own mother so to live with daddy's bit of fluff is really stretching her civility too far! Anyway .... sorry for venting!!!

LinK3 · 28-05-2011 8:57pm

Wow Shoe Lover. You must be thrilled.... Fabulous dress:)

fofany · 28-05-2011 9:06pm

Love the dress shoe lover & congratulations on getting into a size 12.

Caros, hope you get through the summer OK. Maybe it'll make you want to get out of the house more for big long walks!;)

Gorgeous dress. Yeah it really annoys me that every shop you go into the sizes are always different, and the same with certain types of clothes, like work trousers, always need huge sizes in them, yet jeans its different, my actual size would fit me!!

I am TERRIBLE at getting water into me on my days off!!! TERRIBLE!! Unless I remember, all I can do is force a glass into me, and then i'll forget again.

Finally all moved into our new apartment. Delighted, after all the stress of packing and changing addresses for post (some of that still left to do though) so glad to be here and unpacked and relaxed. Was so tight in our last place and an hour from work, here we have loads of space and i'm only 20 minutes from work

At least that is one stress off the list.

Have made very bad food choices over the last few days with lack of food in the house so have a feeling i'll be up this week, especially since I had WI last week at Tuesday Lunchtime, and I normally WI Wednesday evening, and I STS, even though there was one less meal in me that usual, so just have a feeling i'll be up. Going to start WI from now on the Tuesday lunchtime, just handy cos its near work and you don't have to fret for the rest of the day. Would love a Thursday lunchtime (give some time to drag myself back on the wagon from the weekend) but hopefully this will keep me on track.

Off topic, my poor OH is distraught watching the match. COMPLETE dedicated fan to Man Utd. Score: Barcelona 3 Man Utd 1

20 minute drive from work, say I could even make it in 15 mins if I drove fast. Not much traffic from the end of Dublin I am at now because it is all going to opposite way into Dublin. Before I was about 40 minutes drive from work, but the traffic made it an hour at the minimum (had to drive through Dublin from southside to northside) and some days would take an hour and a half.

Laurbie · 28-05-2011 9:43pm

Hi everyone, I am new to this ( in my second week). I'm a bit worried about the free fruit part of the diet. I havent yet eaten 29 points in a day, however, I prob eat 2 pieces of fruit a day. Has it affected any of you before? also how much fruit is too much? I dont want to feel like Im doing great and then get a shock at the weigh in.

Ps: its great to have so many positive people here that support one another

Baby75 · 28-05-2011 9:51pm

Hi all hope every one having a good weekend so far, my day was stressful had a friend over and she broke down she feeling very depressed so we had lots of tea and I had some cake had enough pp though hubby got KFc and I resisted yay got a salad and stuck to it no picking lol

Welcome to the thread.

2 pieces of fruit is definitely not excessive. WW have allowed points for fruit in this plan. The recommended portion would be 5-8 portions of fruit and veg in a day, obviously a bit more veg than fruit. 2/3 pieces a day should be fine but dont over do it on bananas.

You should try and eat all your 29 every day, especially if you are exercising. Not many of us eat our activity PP but if you are exercising or walking more than twice a week, you should eat all your 29, if you constantly dont, it could hinder your weightloss. Also try and drink plenty of water.

harr · 28-05-2011 10:37pm

hi
well i had a half portion(yes a half portion) of sweet and sour pork with 100g chips,2 glasses of wine and a packet of walkers baked which all has a point total of 29pp and it was all yummy,its nice to get a little treat at the end of the week

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

You have giving me a craving for sweet and sour! Ah well I'm in bed now,so can't do any damage. I'm working all weekend which I hate, but its so beneficial for my weight loss!

you should follow the five a day rule. Dont eat TONNES especially if your finding it hard to eat your points. Everyone starting out goes thru that phase in first few weeks of ww...its natural to aim for super low pp low fat options.

fofany · 28-05-2011 11:31pm

Great news on the move & the shorter commute, Monife. Think of all the extra time you will have now to concentrate on WW & your wedding plans. Hope everything is working out well.

There are some couch to 5k IPOD and MP3 podcasts on the internet. If you don't want to be timing yourself, they tell you or make a distinctive noise when it is time to start jogging or walking.

This one has some general chart music but is not that recent. And also has a rock version.

Robert Ulrey's podcast is mainly trance/dance music and can get real boring after a while unless you're into it.

This one has a mixture of songs.

This website can help you make your own podcasts for C25K. It is a bit tricky and you need to read the instructions and download a bit of software. I did it for week 3 and 4 as it is easy enough to do when there are only a few runs but for week 1 and 2, you spend quite a long time trying to make the podcast.

Lady Lainy · 29-05-2011 2:42pm

picked up a few boxes of this yesterday...I like to stock up when I get to aldi.

they used to make this in 2 fillets but both the boxes i got yesterday had 3 fillets. They're the same weight...but instead of two bigger fillets, its three smaller fillets.

The box still says 2 fillets...but as both boxes had 3...maybe this is how they're being made from now on...which would be GREAT!

So if you get a box with 3 fillets this is how to point the new slightly smaller fillets

1 fillet = 3pp
2 fillets = 5pp
3 fillets = 8pp

Been a long term lurker and joined boards just for this thread as badly need some advice...in ww two months near the target they set but i still feel large though and would love to lose a little more but at the same point i don't want to be paying out every week especially if it takes a couple of months to achieve my target so my question is should i lower my target? And if i do do i still pay every week?or do i leave my target the way it is and keep losing weight? Really hope someone here can help me really need some advice and my leader isn't the most friendly ... thanks in advance

I think if you lower your target you would still have to pay until you reach your goal. This would be good if you find you need the meetings and weekly weigh ins. If you think you could get the support at home and on this thread (great support mechanism by the way) and invest in a decent scales, you could reach the goal set by WW and keep going at home.

Thanks Monife ... its difficult at home by myself because i find regular weigh ins defo help with motivation i can't pretend to myself that the scales are wrong there but kind of resent how expensive it is! Thread is brilliant its like a mini meeting i use it to keep myself motivated but i wish there was some way to outwit the ww system! Just the expense really want a gold card just to actually achieve something i usually give up half way thru everything

Just back from a 7k walk, and didn't need to be cattle prodded half way round either! A couple of months ago I wouldn't have been able to do half of it without puffing and panting. Deffo since I started this my fitness levels have gone up.

Went out last night and just had the one brandy with a diet 7up and had ballygownan still the rest of the night so I got some water in there. Must make a move on it today, have only had about 500ml yet!

Discovered something new - caramel snack a jacks, wow!!! 1 point for 1 and they do the biz to satisfy the sweet craving.

feck! Thanks for that Lainy, just as well I stopped at one! I hate sneaky points like that :mad:

rule of thumb i use....when in doubt.....double portion of a "treat food" add an extra point....ie 1 portion = 1pp 2 portions = 3pp

but i've also found some of the healthier foods...you actually "save" a point when having a double portion...where 1 portion might be 2pp and 2 portions will be 3pp kinda thing...

or when in doubt...and have the weighing scales handy :P weight the portion and point it using the 100g info and work out the exact points for the weight of the item your having.
