Hi Molly, As far as I know its 2pp for one slice and 5pp for 2 slices



Well done on staying the same Dee that is a great achievement in itself. What do you mean by the pp coming down?? I did read something about the allowance being dropped but I joined last Thurs and am on the same pp allowance as I was when I was there last June
Thanks the minimum pp allowance used to be 29, but they've reduced it to 26 now. The weekly's are still the same tho which is great. Good to have them to fall back on.
My leader also said it was optional to change ;-)

Subway!

I'm a big lover of subway (obviously not as much as I used to be ) and when I found the bread that I would normally get in subway in the bakery section of tesco I was delighted!


Sadly I cannot find ANY nutritional info for them anywhere! Planning for tomorrow's meals and would really like one!

Can't quite believe it's not printed on the bread! If only things were that simple eh?!

Rant over =)

I don't know if I said this before, but Tesco have an offer at the minute on Muller Little Stars Jellies - a bit babyish (I buy them for the 7yo) - 2 6packs for €3.00, only 1pp per pot. They come in packs of 6 - 2 blackcurrant, 2 strawberry & 2 orange and they're gorgeous when you have a sweet craving!

Having a great week so far, don't know how I've managed to reach this hour on a Saturday night and still have 30 weeklies left!! Also loving the blogs, have a few WW bits on mine - http://miss-greeneyes.blogspot.com - but in fairness it's mostly about nail polish but my most favourite breakfast in the world is on there, only 9pp

Have a great rest-of-weekend everyone, and COME ON IRELAND tomorrow!!! x

Well we did my measurements the other night & they seemed to be up by a half! Dunno what that's about as I'm down half a stone. Obviously not too good with a measuring tape! I get the OH to measure me, and I thought he was going to pee himself he was laughing so much! Sure I ended up in a heap laughing too then! The state of us haha :-)

Has anyone tried the low low cheese triangles? I'm looking for alternative meal ideas and just wondering what they're like.

Can't believe there is only 2pp in rice krispie cereal bars. They are really nice for a snack and taste really Like white chocolate. They are on offer in Tesco at the moment 2 boxes for €3 :-)

All the talk of soup on here got me cooking and made some carrot and coriander yesterday! It was delicious with a nice crusty bread roll - and because the soup is 0pp, having a slightly larger bread roll was ok. And I have now a 0pp lunch for today so I can have my big sunday dinner tonight and not feel guilty.

Had a night in last night with the OH and I made the lasagna everyone here seems to have tried. I like really thick pieces so I bulked up the bolognese sauce with LOADS of veggies. On top of the carrot, celery and onion the recipe looks for, I also added a red pepper, half a courgette, half a small aubergine and a few mushrooms. I also added 30g low-fat cheddar to mix with the parmesan for the top of it so it was 12pp per portion. But it was really delicious and the portion was huge. Served it with a big salad and me and the OH were absolutely stuffed. My treat for the week was last night since I didn't have a night out on the booze - so I had half a bottle of wine and also got a full fat dessert! We got tesco citron tarts - and since blueberries were on special in lidl, I made a blueberry sauce to go with them. Put a punnet of berries in a frying pan on a high heat with 2tbsp of water and 1tbsp of sugar (i would have used sweetener if i had any) and cooked until it reduced to a sticky sauce, mashing the blueberries up a bit while cooking. I then swirled 1tbsp of ww cream through it so it marbled and served it with the tarts. The tarts were 11pp each and the sauce I counted as 3pp. I used 19 of my 49 last night but I shouldn't have to use any more before tuesday!

Off to the gym today and wanna really push myself as hard as possible. Wanna do a 10k run in April and get myself in shape by June to try and get my 10k time back as close to 1hour 6 mins (where I was 4 years ago) as I can!

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend

my leader said that she wasnt losing on the 29 so went down to 26. shes now losing weight but finds it hard at the weekend so does five days at 26 and two at 29.
i think its really up to each person if your losing on 29 why change something thats working but if your not losing on 29 and find 26 too hard to stick to at the weekend do a few weeks of five days 26 two days 29 and see if your losing if so stick to it
