depends on the amount...

cos 100g white is 10pp but 100g brown pasta is 9pp

but 40g same pp for each 60g same pp for each

+1 on this. I pointed the Tesco Wholemeal pasta as 200g for 18PP when using it in a pasta bake.

Just had my WI and I'm up 2.5lb :mad:!!

I just don't understand why.

It has happened to me a few times. Always lose it again by the next weigh in. Hope this makes you feel better. Stick with it. You've done so much already and you're nearly there.

i've only gone and got my self a date! going to cinema and i know theres a nandos out near the cinema.

so its either going to be nandos or captain americas.

Have a great night. Been so long since I've been on a first date (I'm married 11 years & we're together over 13), so I'm feeling excited for you. Good luck!

Thanks Fofany but sometimes its very hard to stay upbeat. Two weeks ago I was 1.5lb away for goal now I'm 5.5lb!

If I'd done anything to deserve that I would take it on the chin but I didn't.

just put my name down for a charity dog walk. its only 10k i know thats not that long...but i've never done more than 5k in one go. its only bit of fun, not a race plus might get a bit of work out of it :P not sure if its both directions there and back or one way...one way will only make it the 5k. Either way....i'm doing it...fecking hell this new postive me is getting me into all sorts...

Nando's mixed laef salad - 1pp
Spicy rice - 5pp
Sweet potato mash - 7pp
Ratatouille - 4pp
Toasted pitta bread - 5pp

Lainy, I always go for the Chicken breast fillet burger (10pp) I think its good value points wise - nice bit of chicken in a bun. If you go for this ask for the dressing to be on the side - quite hot and I prefer it without it. For sides, I get either the corn on the cob (with no butter) or the spicy rice. I love rice so think a portion is okayish points value. My other half always gets the peas with have parsley and mint through them (to die for!) Okayish porton size id say about 2 tablespoons full. Chips there are rubbish - dont bother with them! As for ratatouille - very nice! smallish portion tho considering what it actaully is - veg (free)and spicy tomato sauce (low point value). My other half always gets the half chicken which he loves - meant to be delish! Salad wise - dont bother! I got mixed leaf salad and had literally had 4 pieces of peppers on a bed of wilted leaves for like 6e - i woulndt recommend.

Oh cringe that I know so much about food! haha - hope you enjoy it

okay thats weird :S i have completley different pp values for nandos...from the ww site :S

Thanks for tips on the portions...as i say dont wanna be pigging out infront of the poor guy...but dont want to left starving either and my stomach to start talking half way thru the movie....

Just had my 3rd weigh-in and was down 1.5, which earned me my first silver 7! I'm happy with this as I'm feeling very (pre-menstrauly ?word?) bloated tonight so it's all good.

I've downloaded some weight tracker apps for my phone so it's really cool to see the graphs with the line going in the right direction.

The leader asked me if I was staying for the meeting and I said yes, but when I saw the line waiting to be weighed in behind me I decided against it. Kinda raging I didn't know because she said she'd give me a 7 sticker but I can always get it next week

Anyway, well done everyone who's weighed in today, whether you lost weight or not! It's a marthon, not a sprint and if your hard work doesn't show on the scales this week it will next week!!!

Ok I have a question(might be stupid)
I have 7 points left after dinner and I really want a curly wurly and a pack of velvet crunch with tea.

if i did this would I be more inclined to put on weight as say for example I had ryvita with ham n cheese triangles??

Like, obviously 7 pp of healthy food is better than 7pp of junk but would you be more inclined to be up eating the junk?

You know, now that I think about it, its my worst ever result too. I think I'm in shock.

As regards throwing in the towel, just think, do you feel better with 2.5stone less to carry round? If the answer is yes then keep the towel in your hand!! Sometimes this is a very tough battle but we can fight it together.;)

I don't actually know the right answer to this but I think you have to have a bit of what you fancy sometimes. If you cut out your treats altogether you won't stick with the program. You're only talking about 5pp there and when you think about it you could be having a WW hot chocolate sundae for 5pp instead so if ww are making deserts with a 5pp value it can't be that much of a sin!!:o

Well was down 1lb at WI this eve, am happy enough with that, as been sick for the past two weeks and food hasnt been the best!
Lady Lainy - Hope the date goes well! Swit swoo! Ive heard the chips in Nandos arnt great either, ans the green salad is tiny and not worth it.

Why is it finishing this week?

I don't know if you read all the posts on here, but a few people, myself included, said they PM'd you their results but you still excluded them from the table.

IMHO, I don't think it is going to work, just looking at the previous attempt.

Good luck with it though.

Well I was down .5lb tonight and I was fuppin delighted! I knew the previous 3 weeks(!) of not good eating would catch up with me but as my leader said "You held your own this week, well done."

Hoping for more next week. 4 lbs til my 3rd 7.
