Up 1lb. Very happy considering the piggery I took part in this weekend
Got 0pp soup, a potato and a tin of tuna for lunch tomorrow, ready brek for breakfast. Making lasanga for dinner tomorrow night. So determined to be down and get back into it for next week.
Only 3 weeks today to the mini marathon :eek:
Lainy, how many points are in the chicken mince? Do you know offhand?
Fofany, that sounds gorgeous - I'm not a huge fish eater and am only really starting to eat it but that sounds amazing!
I love the butternut squash chips and stuff, they're so good, but such a nightmare to cut!
Also bought a pack of blueberries to snack on tomorrow.
Any other fruit recommendations? Not a huge fruit person, the last few bananas and apples I got were very disappointing
Boxoff, the little tins of John West tuna are only 1pp if you like tuna, with a small potato thats only 4pp and sooo lovely!0 -

Chicken Mince = 100g = 3pp, 200g = 5pp0 -

Yeah, for some mad reason!
I've mapped out walks that I do on google maps and i think its about 8k, going to pick out a 10k one and start trying to do that!!
I know the route of the mini marathon, city centre to UCD and back..I go to UCD so I'm there like every day, I don't know if that will make it better or worse, knowing how much there is left
I've got a lot better since I started WW, here's hoping I can keep it up...failing that I'll the one passed out in a heap you see on the side of the road 0 -

So having the worst few day's, must have walked on hungry ground somewhere along the way, can't seem to stop eating, had to get my daughter to lock the kitchen and take the key upstairs so i can't keep picking. Its not that i'm eating stuff that is overly bad, just that i keep picking, was so sure i had nailed that bad habit on the head, but having the house to myself at the weekend let bad habits creep back in. Did no exercise at all this weekend. Well done to everyone who is taking part in charity walks, did the womens mini marathon 3 times a few years ago but haven't done anything in a long time. i'm going to commit myself to taking part in the mini marathon next year, training starts now. no excuses. So mad with myself, my first week sending in my weight to the league table and i'll probably be up :mad: 0

We really only know what the PP value is of an eitem, not what the calorie content,... is.
I'm worried i'd get to the weight i want to be and then just go ...what now? I only want to do this journey once, i do not want to end up @17+ stone again, hell i dont want to end up at my current weight of just over 15st again!
Does anyone have some good literature in relation to healthy nutrition and rxcersise?
I can upload my nutrition notes from college if thats any good? it breaks down what the different food groups are...good fats...bad fats, saturated, unsaturated, simple and complex carbs and sugars...
its mammal nutrition...just ignore specifics about cats and dogs....we are all mammals with the same organs....so nutrients act in the same way.
i was saying to the other girl...there are alot of free articles on the ww sites about nutrition in general, importance of carbs, fiber, fats, protein from a healthy body point of view not just weight loss.

This is the campaign thats running on tv at the moment,
And i'm sure there are nutrition 101 threads running on here too 0 -

Oh i looked it up on the Ben and Jerrys website last week cos was going to the cinema and it was 3pp but cant remember for how much.
well i doubt B&J would be the lowest around, the can call it lower in fat...cos it is compared to the rest of there range...but if B&J is 3pp....the linessa one surely must be lower, if its sunny on sunday, might pop one into a cooler bag and have it while on the walk 0 -

Sorry to hear about the date, onwards and upwards though. I think you're in a good place right now and the only thing to do is keep putting YOU first. Maybe he is abit taken aback that you werent more put out - it might just make him think twice but you just do what you want to do. Its not being selfish. I think part of the WW journey is about making ourselves number 1 so that we can feel better in body & mind...............(i'm very wise today LOL!!!)

Back from Vegas had an absolutely brilliant time eat and drank all round me WW went straight out the window it's amazing the price difference between the healthy and not so healthy food options over there, but I don't care I'd a great holiday!!!! Have come home with a wicked sore throat but that's not gonna stop me getting right back on the wagon in the morning and zumba tomoro night I did one bit of physical activity over there, me and my friend took a pole dancing class for the craic (when in Rome n all that) was brilliant I must say we came out sweating!!!! really tough did it sat and I'm still achin (& bruised) from it gives you a real appreciation for those girls up there doing it every night lol !!!
Well anyway sorry for my middle of the night rant (body clock is a bit all over the shop!)
Oh anyone got any tips on a great first wk plan to get me right back into it
Cheers x x0 -
I think the ww frozen meals are lovely, but I only ever cook them in the oven. I have tried them from the microwave and agree they're awful!
I had the ww part baked bread rolls today and have to say I was quite impressed although I'd say they're only nice straight from the oven.
Last but certainly not least I couldn't recommend the stickey toffee pud dessert highly enough! It's fab-u-lous!!! And only 4pp yum!
I used to work in the factory that makes the WW Frozen Meals - they can sell them to staff for 50c and still make a profit so I never buy them! Plus when you smell garlic at 6am, it puts you off them for life :P I have to agree about the Sticky Toffee Puds - DELISH! I cannot go into Dunnes without buying a packet Have two in the fridge at the min!Back from Vegas had an absolutely brilliant time eat and drank all round me WW went straight out the window it's amazing the price difference between the healthy and not so healthy food options over there, but I don't care I'd a great holiday!!!!

Glad you had a good time on your hols, Layla! You deserved it! I do pole every Tuesday night - it's the best exercise ever, mainly because I'm having so much fun, it doesn't feel like exercise:D:D 0 -

So I was at my cooking class last night and she made homemade pizza! Here is the base recipe:
1 x 7g sachet Dired Fast Action Yeast
350ml Hand Hot Water
500g Plain Flour
1 tsp salt
1/2tsp sugar
Sift the flour and salt inot a large bowl & add the yeast. Gradually add the water and mix together to form a dough. Turn out on to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has double in size - your hot press is the best place for this.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and "knock back" by punching the dough. This will remove any air bubbles that would make the pizza uneven. Knead about 4-5 times. Roll out into the shape that you want and put whatever toppings you like on it.
To cook your pizza, preheat the oven to 220C/Gas 7 and preheat your tray for 30 mins, then cook your pizza for 15mins.
This recipe will give you four 10" pizzas - I worked out the pp at 12 per base. Not bad in my opinion because you are in total control of what toppings you put on it!:D:D 0
