Hi All,

Down 2.5lbs at WI last nite, thats 7.5lbs in 2 weeks, so happy

I am very nervous about today though. Have to go out for lunhc with work today and am also meeting friends for dinner and drinks tonight. Don't know how I am going to stick within the 49 weeklies today and it's only day 1 of my week.

Where we're going for lunch is usually carvery - Beef or Chicken with Mash and Veg. Have no idea how to point this as I don't know what has been added to the mash etc.

I am going to a restaurant called café bliss tonight off George's street in Dublin. It's €10 for main course and its BYOB Great value money wise but again I don't know what my best option food wise would be Has anyone else been here before?? Also, how many points are in a bottle of ww wine?

Thanks

Had a look at the menu on menu pages and I would say your best choices for main course are:

Greek Salad
Vegetarian Chilli
Cajun Chicken Wrap
Ratatouille Wrap
Piri Piri (which I am guessing is spicy chicken)

WW Wine is 12PP per bottle (You can get it in JC's in Swords) but if you are planning on getting merry, I don't think that would help as it is only 8% per bottle (so double the strength of alcopops).

For the carvery, try to stick to meat without fat or breadcrumbs or anything deep fat fried. Go with mash potatoe (leave the roast ones - 4PP per roastie) and what I would do is try and guestimate how many grams of it are on your plate and then add a few PP for whatever is added. Don't forget to PP the stuffing and gravy too. I would say (from eating where you're going, just so the ladies don't think i'm talking through my ar*e lol) it is about 200g of mash (so 4PP) and then I would probably add 2 or 3PP for whatever has been added to it.

Most importantly, enjoy!! Life is for living and we can't all be perfect all the time, and if you do have a little slip, draw a line under it and start again tomorrow (no chicken fillet roll ha ha).

Not sure of the PP for that but I know a demi-baguette (the ones in the deli) are 8PP and I think a petit pain is 5PP so I would guestimate them to be 3PP.

Thanks monife, ended up going for the better option of brown soda bread instead

Thanks a mill. 8% is nothing, think I'll stick to the vodka - not sure how well the restuarant will take it though walking in with a naggin. ha ha ha it is bring your own drink by the way im not just sneaking it in

I'll try make the best choices I can and be extra good for the rest of the week then and up the exercise. Have a great weekend

Just enjoyed a lovely low fat sub from subway after finishing a presentation in college that I've been getting ready for for the past fortnight! My god it was lovely and all within my daily points! Even have 13 points left for dinner later! Happy days!

Anyone else doing the operation transformation fun run tomorrow?!

I was down 1.5 this week back in to the 11's great to see it slowly heading in the right direction I will get there in the end!

This week is going to be a hard one! I have 4 birthdays, my MIL was last night but we made this cake for her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scH2B...aHI6F4T_zl9ONE it's out of the complete kitchen book and was lovely really enjoyed it!
tomorrow night I have a party to go to, I'm helping make the food so that will help I hope, then my sons 11th birthday on Monday and my Mothers birthday Sunday!
I will be making all the cakes etc so it will help and I guess the key is track and plan them in! so next week I will let you all know if it is possible to lose weight and have so many cakes etc in the way

My computer died a sad little death last night (I am hoping it is just the charger or the battery, both of which i can replace pretty easily!) But yeh this means I wont be posting as much over the weekend! (Find posting on my phone a little annoying cos I hate the tiny keyboard)!

Have my parents coming over for dinner tomorrow night and my dad told me he is now trying to lose weight and so for once will not complain about my WW recipes. I still have no idea what to cook - has to be fish as my mum doesnt eat meat but wanna find something really nice! Gonna go through every WW recipe I have until I find the right dinner and dessert for as low pp as possible :-)

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Can anyone recommend a good choice pro points wise off this menu? My points reset today so I have all my weeklies but didn't have a good week so don't wanna be really bold! Will also be drinking too. If anyone could estimate any of the points i'd be very grateful! Don't like going out without a plan!
