2 bananas, 100g Strawberries, Fist full for fresh mint leaves, and 150ml skimmed milk. Makes about a pint of smoothie, for 1pp,
I'm having about two a day, 1 at breakie, 1 at lunch
So i'm getting my fruit in, and extra bit of calcium aswell, I know its alot of bananas, but they kind of agree with me, and they are in liquid form, so easier for the body to breakdown
YEAH I FIND THEM GREAT TOO, AND SOMETIMES I'LL PUT IN A WHOLE ORANGE, MORE INTO JUICEY SMOOTHIES NOT REALLY INTO MILK. I FIND IF I HAVE A SMOOTHY FOR 2 PP FOR BREAKFAST, CRACKERS AND LOW LOW TRIANGLE CHEESE AT 11 KEEPS ME GOING TIL LUNCH, AS I'M NOT INTO CEREALS IT'S WAY BETTER THAN MY USUAL TWO SLICES OF TOAST WITH HAM!! AND IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET RAW VEG IN TOO, ONE RAW CARROT DOESN'T ALTER THE TASTE AT ALL BUT MAKES IT MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND HEALTHY!! 0 -

oh yeah,they'd need something with them, im thinking of trying them, maybe with some mashed potato and gravy! bangers and mash....ah yeah i know there are other ones for 1pp....but i dont find them filling at all and I LOVE big Cumberland sausages...I just like the idea of the quorn ones, cos I'm not big veg person, so if i cant increase my veggie intake...i can at least try to reduce my meat intake a lil...and just make it all that lil bit healthier
For dinner tonight was in the mood for one my mums "old dinners" tonight....which is basically beef mince, in gravy plopped onto of potatoes....kinda sloppy joe kinda thing, simple....looked awful....but god it would be so nice!
200g beef mince cooked with onions and gravy, poured over 300g new potatoes with skins on, and peas and corn....
Still have 10pp left for later on I had 11pp for breakie (BIG breakfast cos i was going to be out all day) 8pp for lunch, 17pp for dinner, (incase ppl were thinking i wasnt eating.....trust me oh boy I eat haha)
Having a nice big filling dinner really works for me!0 -
Hey, have been reading this thread for a while now, thought it was time to throw my 2cents in!
Joined ww a few weeks ago , my third weigh in day is this wednesday , have lost 10lbs so far, only 5 stone plus to go! Even though i have a lot to lose i have always been very active its the food that has really got me this way.
I have stuck rigidly to the points system for nearly 3 weeks now, without using any activity points , my strategy being I don't want to reward myself for doing exercise by eating (simply because i have rewarded/comforted myself with food and drink for years for numerous achievements/disappointments).
I also haven't used any weekly points. Just wondering do people generally use the weekly points for genuine occasions or do they incorporate them into the daily points because they feel they need them.
Also from reading here, it seems that you are not allowed to weigh yourself during the week, i wasn't aware of that from my meetings or does it say it somewhere in the books?
Thanks in advance , all advice welcome 0 -

Bit of a bumpy weekend, wasn't too bad until today, I got two violet crumbles (australian chocolate bar) in Dundrum yesterday and ate 1 and a half of them
Don't really care though, don't get them very often :P
3 WI's to my birthday and 5lbs to my second stone, so thats my mini goal for the min!
Ready brek for breakfast tomorrow, pasta and salad for lunch and making lasagne for dinner, om nom nom! Lots of housework to do tomorrow so that'll be a bit of exercise, and then walking tomorrow evening.
Bring it on!0 -

Ah yes, went back to WW after 6/7 month break last Thurs and am now officially the heaviest I've ever been so here I go again.
Can't believe all the changes on the boards, hope its all for the good.
Just reading through the posts, some great tips and ideas and of course some great support.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how many propoints are in a Rasberry Flake McFlurry? I had one yesterday but i had 18 of my weeklies left. I dont think it would be any more than that though...
They don't have the nutritional values for it on their website - I pointed a dairy milk one at 11 then stuckon an extra 2 for the syrup.0 -

Yeah i was thinking about that myself! I weight in tomorrow anyway so probably wont have to use any of my remaining 18 weeklies so that should definitely cover it.... It could have been worse i suppose, i could have indulged in a big burger and fries...

I'm veggie and not on weightwatchers (just popped by for a nose)
But quorn sausages aren't great I'd definately prefer linda McCartney ones if they're around the same points.
Nutritional info:

I find them easier to pick up in dunnes or supervalue than tescos 0 -

Hey Lady Lainy,
Since you're always so helpful and you said you wanted to try some veggie stuff I'll throw up a few recipies I make that I THINK might be lower in points.
Broccoli and blue cheese soup:
http://www.unislim.com/food-a-recipes/item/10392-broccoli-blue-cheese-soup
I use frozen broccoli and it doesn't taste very blue cheesey
Butternut squash soup:
http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetarian-recipes/superb-squash-soup-with-the-best-parmesa
The crotons aren't veggie and by all accounts not nice but the soup is yum, spray oil could be used instead but watch the sage leaves don't burn
Mushroom indian curry:
http://www.indianrelish.com/mushroom/mushroom-masala.html
If you use fresh garlic I think you only have to point the oil, I like to use diffenet mushrooms like chestnut/porcini
Spinach and ricotta lasagne:
Passata
4 sheets of lasange pasta (I often boil the dry sheets for 10-12 minutes so it's not too long in the oven)
Full/low fat ricotta
Bag of frozen spinach
Salt and Pepper
Cheese to sprinkle on top
Dry fry the spinach, turn off the heat and add the ricotta, salt and pepper
Half the passata, 2 sheets of pasta, spinach mixture, 2 more lasagne sheets, rest of the passata and sprinke with cheese
Oven for 30-45 minutes
Spinach frittata
4-5 medium eggs
Fry oil
splash of milk
Bag of frozen spinach
Salt and pepper cheese to sprinkle
Fry spinach in oil for 3-4 minutes, add mixed milk and eggs turn down heat and leave on the hob for 10 minutes, season add cheese and leave under the grill till the eggs are cooked and cheese melty
If you search the nutrition and diet forum you'll find cauliflower rice that is quite nice.
Of the quorn stuff the crispy chicken, chicken nuggets and breaded flavoured chicken are nice and seem lower in calories.
The plain chicken pieces (like the cumberland sausages need to be drowned in sauce to make them palatable)
Beside the mince, the beef stuff isn't great but the fish fingers are nice
Hope this is allowed here but they're healthier for pizza style things,
Can you tell I was doing food for a halloween party
http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/pizza-mummies-688188/
English muffin sliced in half
Passata
Topping of your choice
Cheese
In that order, oven for 10 minutes and yummy
Really not trying to convert you but I didn't know where to start when I started eating veggie. Might help someone forced to throw a dinner part for a fussy veggie too 0 -

Evening all
WI tomorrow eve, as its totm and my first wi at this time im not stressing to much and would be happy if i sts if i have a gain ill just raise the head and move forward with the week,try not to let it get me down
Anyway was wondering could anyone help me out with this:
the pp value of 200g cooked mashed potatoe (plain without butter etc..) ive been having 150g for 3 pp so is it as simple as 1pp per 50g therefore 200g is 4pp? I know with some things eg. ww bread 1 slice is 1pp but 2 slices is 3pp,1+1 does not always equal 2.
Also with the quorn mince is the pp value when cooked or weighed raw before cooking?
Thanks for any advice and hope everyone is doing well 0
