What time do you usually WI at? Do your home scales always match your meeting scales? Have you had any luck looking for a new meeting, this one really doesnt sound good. I usually say its always better to face the meeting, but your leader really sounds awful!0 -

Maybe try to find a new leader! The week where you fear you might be up, is probably the most important week to go. In my old weight watching life, I used have a pre weigh in weigh in, and I'd be inclined to skip my WI if I thought I'd be up- it's true, you could well do extra damage the second week, and find yourself twice as uninclined to go back!0 -
Guys just a quick question!!
I was wondering if anybody knew how many propoints there are in a small plain queen cake topped with white/pink icing??
There is no nutritional info on the packaging, but I've been pointing them around 3?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! 0 -
I know that normal mash, one tsp is 1 point! And if you add in al the butter restaurants use, plus the fact that the portion is going to be a lot bigger you're probably looking at about 6/7!RachaelFergie wrote: »Going for a meal Sunday and looking at menu the dish comes with chips but I was going to ask for veg and mash instead! Anyone any idea how to point mash from a resturant? Or will I just stick with the thick beautiful chips!! ��
Oven baked chips 100g is 5! Restaurant chips with the oil and again the portion size is probably about double that!
So it's up to you but i say go for the chips and ask for a smaller portion/give some away! Or else maybe do a workout after! With the mash you might feel like yu've deprived yourself and so cave and get a dessert hahaha! Whereas if you just have the chips, you might leave it at that, and have a nice sensible skinny latte after
Hope this helps! 0 -
Just home my WI, and down 2lb
I wasn't really expecting that, given my weekend indulgence... that Scoozi choc cake, it's just not something I'm prepared to give up just yet! I don't even like to think of how many pp it might contain!
Our leader had us all set a mini goal today- we wrote down what we'd like to weigh on the wed after easter- 4 weeks from now, but with patricks day, mothers day, and easter thrown into the mix! she's going to give us back our little pieces of paper that day. should be interesting! I'd like to be into the 14s by then... i dread to think when the last time i saw that particular weight bracket was! 5 and a half lb should get me there though, so i'll be pounding the footpaths between now and then! my other half was oiling the wheels of the pram the other day, and he remarked that I had "fierce wear" on the wheels already- I was proud!0 -

I love working out things like this-, coz i'm just such a propoints geek. just pointed it from a recipe i have for cupcakes, which is obviously pretty much the same thing. it worked out at 54 for a recipe that makes 12, which is 4.5 each. that doesn't count icing, and obviously theres no halves in propoints, so it's probably at least six, depending on the size, and the type of icing. 0 -

What is the brand you buy and what is the weight of the cake. Is there any info on the ingredients, esp for the icing so you can get an idea of what is in them? Or even if there is a similar brand out there that you can find the nutritional info.I love working out things like this-, coz i'm just such a propoints geek. just pointed it from a recipe i have for cupcakes, which is obviously pretty much the same thing. it worked out at 54 for a recipe that makes 12, which is 4.5 each. that doesn't count icing, and obviously theres no halves in propoints, so it's probably at least six, depending on the size, and the type of icing.
The queen cakes in teh shops if they are the ones I am thinking of usually a good bit smaller than the average cupcake. I think it is better to overpoint than under point, but they may be smaller and not quite as high.0 -
Morning everybody! Just WI here and I have 4 lbs lost!!:D Thats 2 stone now and the first time I've seen the 11's in YEARS!:cool: Happy Camper!

Any plans for St Patricks day? Its one of those holidays i have never embraced, so i don't have to worry about extra pp for drinking as it would kill me been out with the plastic paddy brigade, think i may stay in Saturday and go to the Zoo on Sunday 0 -
I've made these a few times though, back in the day, and they're not that big. About the size of the ones that are bought in the shops. I also pointed them with semi skimmed milk, because I couldn't remember how Many points for full fat- but the shop bought ones might well have all butter, and no milk at all!tiny_penguin wrote: »Guys just a quick question!!

I'm heading to my dads in Wexford on Friday for the weekend, well, until Sunday. Have WI tonight, am a bit nervy about it. I know I have been good foodwise all week, but what with being sick and all I just hadn't got the energy for exercise and with STS last week..... squeeky bum time!
This weekend will be the first time since New years that I have had a drink so I want a decent week this week so I have a bit more motivation. Going to go jogging on the beach in the mornings while I'm down there. It should be good. My daughter is staying up here with my mam so she can go to the parade so we have a free weekend for the first time in AGES!!! It's my dads bday too so I have been checking out the restaurants around his house so I will have an idea what to have before we hit one or the other of them.....
What are the rest of you up ta???0 -

I actually don't gave a lot of plans. Just relax on Friday I'd say. Saturday get out with the dog for the afternoon I'd say. We got a Raclette grill last weekend which is fantastic! Easy on the cheese is the only thing haha, so perhaps have that on Sat night. Then at the Stables for most of Sunday, and up to Mums on Monday.
How about the rest of you guys? :-)0 -

Having quite a plain but yummy dinner tonight. Steak, baby potatoes and beans nom nom nom
Not doing the usual all day bender this year for Paddy's day as I actually can't afford it. Going to go out for lunch or early bird with the OH and have a few drinks with him at home. Probably have a few drinks Friday night aswell so weeklies will well and truly be used this weekend, might actually have to get off my lazy bum and do some exercise 0 -
