Hiya, does anyone please know the PP in a panini or one of those large deli rolls (crunchy ones)? I had a panini yesterday and considering having one today in work because I AM STARVING today and don't like the crappy lunch I brought with me. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE

Hey monife, I've been trying to find out how many pp for panini,asked leader etc, but nobody seems to know. I've been pointing them them at 10 pp, but I could be way off!

Prob a bit late for your lunch now but I've been basing the demi baguettes (what you'd get in a deli) as 9PP (based on the 120g at 8PP - They seem to come in heavier than that everytime)!

Hope this helps...

Also, I know I promised the bread list but for convenience I put it as an excel sheet on my computer and it won't copy and paste on here so have a bit of editing to do - will have the list up tonight...and will not use excel anymore hehe

To save you some work, you could just upload the excel file here as an attachment?

I'll keep searching and hopefully someone will have an answer.

There was no panini's left when we got to the canteen, oh god, I was sooo hungry I made the WORST choice I could have ever made.

Sausage, beans and wedges (huge plate)!!!!

Annoyed with myself now, but I was so hungry, I don't know what is wrong with me today, the hunger just won't leave me. I had my shreddies and low fat milk this morning, and at 11, I had a WW yoghurt, grapes and a WW bar. And then the lunch!!!

Ah we all get days like that, don't beat yourself up over it, otherwise you will end up eating more. Try drink plenty of water and fill up on fruit, and maybe even have a low pp dinner/lunch.

To be honest the panini would probably have been similar points to what you did have anyway!

Actually I am just thinking, I might ask a girl in my local coffee shop if she could give me the wrapper off the paninis they do, or I might even point the ones in the shops, I know they are a bit smaller but at least we would have a ball part figure..

Hi all,
got this from my leader and tried them today,

New Zealand Scones

Total Recipe = 31 propoints***

300g self raising flour
1 tub WeightWatchers low fat Crème Fraiche
165ml Diet sprite or 7Up
1/4tsp salt

Sift flour and salt together.
Combine all ingredients. This makes a wet dough.
Place on a well floured surface and cut into scone shapes
Bake for 15 -20 mins @ 220oC

I added blueberries, so they are nice, not sweet! but nice with a cuppa, i managed to divide them in to 12,they do rise quiet a bit so even if they look small they are filling. The dough is very wet and messy so i did use lots of flour when I turned them out on the board.....but all in all I would recommend them

Pigwidgeon

I just checked my shop book for ciabatta, couldn't find any brands we have here, but there's one from the co-operative that for 68g (1/4 of a loaf) is 4 propoints, so that might be a bit of a guide for people looking to point them.

Also a cuisine de france Demi Baguette is 8 propoints. That'd be what you get in spar/centra etc as far as I know. The petits pains are 4 propoints.

Missing my wi tmw evening..... have a 6.30 breakfast meetin in Dublin on Wed morning, heading to Dublin after work tmw.

Just wondering does anyone know the fact that I got to goal last week, will it make any difference that i'm missing my first meeting after reaching goal.

Pigwidgeon

Did up an excel spreadsheet with the points for most of the stuff from eddie rockets, mcdonalds, burger king and subway.

I don't know if there are any lists online, but perhaps if one of us get a bit of time we can post it up. If not, you can probably get a starter pack on EBAY or Amazon...

On another note, so I have eaten 32PP today (stupid lunch was 22PP, well that is what I am counting it as) and I am having dinner anyway, feck it!! Not gonna starve myself. So making a nice garlic chicken dish and having it with 60g pasta.

Has anyone abandonned the PP system and returned to points? I have started back on it again this morn, funny how all the points have gone out of my head, its like starting from scratch again !!!!!I really want to be at goal by May Bank hol at the least...although that maybe a bit too ambitious given the results I was getting over the last few weeks!

Hi, I switched back to the old points as propoints wasn't working for me, it was more like a maintenance plan. I still have about 2 stone to lose so switched back because I lost 20lbs on the old plan. I feel much better since the switch. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask

On a different note, college and the impending exams are really taking it out of me. I feel exhausted all the time and it's making it difficult to stick to plan. I'm going to WI tomorrow morning instead of Weds as its my TOTM so just want to get the WI over with. Not sure how it'll go as I've been really good and done swimming nearly every day but it's not showing on my home scale. I know I shouldn't be looking :rolleyes: but I can feel it myself.

On a plus side tried on a ball gown that I got for a ball back in November and was ecstatic back then that I fit into a size 14 but today it was MASSIVE on me Looked at my tracker and I've lost a stone since then so it slightly improved my mood! Now have to go on a size 12 dress hunt Anyone know where you can get cheap ball gowns?

Dee01

disaster of a week here. I am disgusted with myself cos i have ruined the last two weeks i would say. i'm going to take my two holiday weeks from this week to give myself a few extra days to get back on track. Disaster

TK MAX or if you're in Dublin, there's a shop after the Liberty Market on Meath Street who do really cheap ball gowns. Fair Play to you, thats a great loss. Keep it up.

Pigwidgeon

TK Maxx have some lovely ones at the moment. Got one for €55 a few weeks ago.

Eabhabear

Thanks never thought of TK Maxx. I'm planning on going to Carrickmines to get runners in Sportsworld so I'll have a look.

Dee what day do you WI? If it's not til Weds or Thurs you should just be extra good and try and get some exercise in and you may actually surprise yourself!

kildareash

Ooh, that's fantastic Eabha, well done. Such a great feeling when you can physically see the weight loss.
Are the mid-season sales still on? You might pick something up.
Or wkd you consider the second shops? You would be surprised the amount of stuff that is brand new with tags on.
My friend works in the local Barnardos and she has got us a few lovely bits over the last year.

Hey all,

Couldn't make my wi tonight..It's prob jsut as well though cos I had an amazing weekend lol!!! Already had a great day for day1 of a new week so will try keep it up :P.

Just had amazing low points dinner if anyone fancies this:
Chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta...

Chicken Breast 4pp
Spinach 0pp
40g Feta 3pp

I just sliced chicken open and flattened out,filled it with as much spinach as i could fit and feta on the top. closed over and held together for afew mins and into the oven for 35mins.. I served it on a bed of the remaining spinach (i'm obsessed) just wilted on the pan (no oil). It was amazing!

Congrats, i was delighted buying size 14 jeans over the weekend. There's a sale on in debenhams at the mo you can sometimes find a good bargain in there

Eabhabear

Thanks Kildareash. My mum has just suggested that to me. We were talking about giving the two dresses that I have away and she said I should take a look! Might pop into Barnardos on Weds.

Thanks I actually have my eye on a purple dress from there. I'm hoping to have the funds for it. They have lovely dresses in Debenhams it's where I got the one that doesn't fit but they can be very expensive!

I know how you feel. I had a few of those days last week. It's coming up to exam time so it takes a lot of work not to be bad. I wasn't going to WI this week either but I've decided to go and get it over with. Can you go to a class on Thurs? Give yourself a little extra time? I know it's kinda cheating but it's better than not going!

misslt

I was up 2lb

Annoyed at myself for undoing my good work but sure what can you do. Will be extra extra good this week and get it back off.
