A take away portion works out at 14pp and is huge
I find it so hard to make myself have tried quite a few times but it never turns out right it's my fav dish I always order it even if we're out I'd get it
If anyone knows a recipe for it I'd love it thanks0 -

Lost just half a pound this week but I wasn't really on my best behaviour! I'm happy enough that I wasn't up.
The funny thing is that is has sort of pushed me and motivated me into getting back on track for next week.
Well done everyone who has lost this week, and "chin up" to those who haven't. We all have bad weeks but I try not to let a bad week ruin the potential of a good week! (famous last words!!
)
Good luck everyone..x0 -

I'm not having a good few days weight wise. Have stuck to my points, including eating (or drinking!) my weeklies as usual and I just know I won't have lost anything at WI tomorrow. I've resigned myself to that fact so a STS would be a bonus I think. I don't think I can face a gain. This is my fourth week and I've only lost weight every second week. Talk about slow :mad: I've 3.5lbs off and have another 6.5lbs to go to my WW goal but would love 4lbs more on top of that off.
This week I've been eating pretty much the same as last week but am feeling far more bloated. I'm trying to think of anything I did differently this week and I've realised I've eaten more bread this week. Hence the bloating. So the bread has to be cut back on (could never give it up) and I'm off fizzy drinks for Lent. Hopefully I won't fall off the wagon.
Redbride dont be disheartened, you've still lost 3.5lbs in 4 weeks, thats almost a pound a week which is brilliant! Are you doing any exercise? Cutting back on the bread and giving up the fizzy drinks will definitely help you with your goals so stick with it and you will get there 0 -

My favouritist takeaway ever - Singapore Rice Noodles! I used to get Singapore Chow Mein but the lady in the chinese, who knows me years, reckons the rice noodles are less fattening and they use less oil in the dish so I made the switch. I ask them to add lots of chili to give it a bit of an edge. I never really know how many points to give it though. Rubadub has me terrified of Chinese takeaways - if I asked, he would sure say it's about 30 points.

Anyone got topping ideas of rice cakes?
I used to work with a girl who put laughing cow on rice cakes every day for lunch. I never tasted it but they can't be too bad if she ate them every day!
I got the Snack-a-jacks packet of large rice cakes - the caramel flavoured ones are really nice - are they really just 1pp?? 0 -

Haha...it'll be more like the other way round!
It's the easy option, but I usually end up regretting it afterwards because I just pig out and end up feeling crap afterwards. Never stops me the next time tho!
Good luck...look forward to hearing how well you're doing
