    Ok so was up for the first time last night, 0.5lb, completely expected it but after losing 4lb the week before im still quite happy with the average.

    I have a wedding at the end of the month then another one 2 weeks later in Hungry (so a holiday too), aiming to get to goal (4lb) in the next too weeks!!!!!

    Is it 4 wi that I need to stay on maintenance for when I get goal?

    oh its soooooooooooo cold, how am I expected to write a thesis when it is this cold in summer? Im actually under the duvet with my laptop!

    oh god my heart actually goes out to you....full credit to ya....the rest of the student world is finished and your still working hard! WELL DONE JUST FOR THAT ALONE!

    and yeah this weird cold weather is a b*tch....one day its scorching...next day freezing. I cant function in the cold...i just shut down and cant move...

    Treats/snacks in moderation...this week i've planned scheduled snacks....but in turn my main meals are lower in points than they used to be....BALANCE...

    and instead of killing my self with big long exhausting sessions in the home gym then giving up half way thru the week cos its too exhausting I'm doing lots of little sessions....i've done 30 - 40 mins fast walking on treadmill every day...i figure I cant possibly be lazy enough to moan about giving up half an hour a day.... and so far i havent missed a single "mirco session" this week..

    IMPORTANT
    Right folks.....friday night....the night I tend to crash and burn.....tips, advice, survival snacks....I have my WI in the morning...and after working extra hard this week on eating, grocery shopping, the exercise, water intake...I really dont want to blow it....

    I really need to break this friday night cycle! Altho at the moment I'm feeling positive...feeling like i can make it thru with out the cookie monstor attacking...


    COUS COUS
    Ainsly Harris couscous is in tesco for 99c a box....chef brand...i figure it must be nice! and it has big low fat sticker on it!

    Never made it before....(havent even bought it yet) whats it like? does it swell up like rice? how long does it usually take to cook? if it takes forever to cook and i'm starving.....the toasted is next to the cooker! eeek!

    Hi Lady, I've never made it myself but I think it only takes about 10 mins (I could be wrong though!). You'd just add hot stock to it in a bowl and leave and then fluff it up with a fork. I've had it at friends and it can be quite nice if seasoned right. You'd definitely need to season it as it's quite tasteless otherwise. That's also my new thing to try for this weekend. I'm going to try it in a salad for my lunch tomorrow.:)

    Hiya,
    I had lunch out today and not totally sure on points so thought I'd ask for help. I pointed it at-
    Roast Turkey Breast- 2 slices (No skin) 3 pp?
    1 small scoop mash -2 pp
    1/2 Roast Potato - 2 pp
    About 2 tbsp gravy - 2 pp
    About 3 tbsp stuffing - 4 pp
    And then bulked it up with loads of carrots.
    Does 13pp sound about right?

    I have a healthy 7 pp dinner I made last night so thought I could treat myself a bit for lunch.

    its a set running program, with the aim of getting you from laying on the couch to running 5km in 9 weeks. I am doing the treadmill version which I find handy (fair weather walker :o) and am about to complete week 2!!! I find it handy as the work out is laid out and only takes 30 mins in total at the mo. tis 3 workouts a week so handy in that way as well.

    I need goals to motivate me and as this is laid out I don't have an excuse to be lazy!!! haven't got any of the apps yet but that is next on my list now that I have a new smartypants phone to play with :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 123 ✭✭Dublin25

    I think that all sounds fairly much ok, except I would be doubting the stuffing, always turns out to be higher, but you just can never tell, and I would give the turkey 4pp. Our leader always encourages going for the carvery option for lunch if you can.

    Well done to everyone with their losses. I haven't been on in a while so trying to spend some time reading back.

    I really need inspiration, have stayed the same for 4 weeks and its driving me crazy. I am still only 2 lbs away from goal. I exercise every day but the tracking hasn't been great. So making that my mission now.

    I have a new goal for myself, a friend of mine who works in Africa has asked me to go over for 2 weeks in October so I really want to loose 10 lbs. Thats 0.5lb a week. It would get me down another dress size too which would be amazing.

    Brennans sliced pan bread is KILLING me. I am drawn to it along with big fat slabs of butter. Ughh. Today is a new week so I just think if I could avoid it I may just drop 1-2lbs this week.

    Thanks so much, was feeling a bit naughty as it was def a bigger lunch than I'm used to lately but on the other hand far smaller than what I used to get. The cashier charged me for a 1/2 portion and it just made me realise what a savage amount of food I was shoveling into myself before when I got the full one lol Plus, my absolute fave parsnips were on the plate and I just pushed them to the side and left them for the first time ever. I think I'll point at 14 just to be on the safe side.

    what i did this week...cos my tracked had gone....very generous lets call it...i eased up on exercise....made tracking and eating right PRIORITY! I wasn't stressing about omg i need to get to the gym....and after a few days....started feeling more energised and kinda WANTED to exercise...didnt feel i HAD to do it...30 mintutes walking every day is all i did...

    I also cut back bread aswell. havent had any bread this week :D (i had gave bread up for all of lent and it really helped) but as soon as lent was over....i was stuffing my gob with ww bagels..cos they were on special....like 2 or 3 or 4 bagels a day :O toasted smothered in flora! EEEEK!

    This week I've also cut waaaaaaaay back on spuds...think i've had spuds once this week....vs.....nearly every night for the last two weeks!

    took a peek at the scales this morning.....i nearly fell off in shock! But not saying anything until official WI tomorrow :D but lets just say I'm HAPPY!

    I also ate 35 of my weeklies this week (two tubs of light soft cheese and packet of ryvita...i had ryvita and cheese every night around 9pm...it curbed my munchies)

    I tired TONNES of new foods and recipes this week, and cut out carbs from lunch!

    Ditch the bread! You said it your self...its the enemy! Tonnes of water....change your meals up....even changing the time of day you exercise...and maybe eat some of your weeklies on HEALTHY foods...if your over exercising chances are you might need extra protein...

    Maybe make an appointment with a personal trainer for one or two sessions to get a professional work out plain especially designed for your body, your fitness. Might just be the kick up the butt and shock to the system your body needs

    Chain reaction.....one good day....leads to the next....then its domino effect!

    same way...one bad day....can lead to the next....i know if i break my good streak...disaster will strike....last weekend i just sat down and spent entire weekend looking at recipe sites....weight watchers books. ppls recipes on here....and then i spent an 1/2 day grocery shopping. aldi,lidl, dunnes, supervalu, tesco....getting lots of ingredients....nothing prepared...if i want it...gotta make it....

    made a huge batch of bran muffins, frozen them in portions...and have lots of 2pp fruit ice lollis in the freezer...

    I'm watching calories aswell as points! like as i said...i ate nearly all my weeklies this week....they went on ryvita and light cheese!

    And i've started cooking big dishes like pasta bakes and lasagnes....and as soon as its made....portion it into lunch boxes and freeze them as soon as they are cold...even if i'm using it the next day....not leaving it in the fridge...cos i WILL eat it! and each lunch box is down to the gram the exact weight...so i know the points. i'm weighing EVERYTHING...nothing to chance.

    I took LOADS of advice from everyone here! I thought this week was going to be really hard...but after a day of two of eating right...i was just on a high...today I even took the two dogs for a strole and walk up the fields...i actually got off my ass and did something instead of watching tv....on that note i still gotta get in my half hour on treadmill...so off to do that now....ipod strapped to my arm and ready to go...

    When I'm good....i'm kicking ass....when i'm bad....oh dear lord i'm a sinking ship!

    OOoooh and my mum just booked me a weekend in Baltimore in those fancy tipie things...anyone know anything about them or the area? Gotta get my camera fixed :D whale watching, bird watching, just wish I could bring Rua...

    i've posted my trackers on my blog....:D I feel like i've been eating all day every day.....its kinda weird! haha

    the pasta bake is all made from scratch...there isnt any white sauce in it. and i make it with passta and Quorn. Altho tomorrow i'm making it with Chicken mince...cos i dont want to get sick of quorn.

    It serves 4 (but i have it devided into two big portions...I like my BIG dinners...and i wont have it with any sides)

    I got it from a cook book, and just pointed it my self.

    Just posted a great Thai Beef Chilli Curry Recipe.
    Haven't made it yet, but might try it next week :D

    hi all
    just back a few hours ago from my hols in clair and galway had a great time the food side of things was just ok we went with 2 other couples and i pointed all my food for the first 2 days but by day 3 i think i was starting to pee people off a little so i stopped pointing all my food and just had to eat as good as i could,had a few drinks most nights but it was light beer instead of Guinness i did eat a lot of fish and veg most days and some deserts :o
    Back to pointing tomorrow and a swim and a long walk,not looking forward to WI on Tuesday,hope everyone is doing well have not had time to read through the thread yet :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭LinK3


    I'm just back off hols too and where I was extra good compared to previous holidays, I stopped obsessing over the points 4 days in.. I ate well, but had the couple of beers most evenings and caved in to pizza one day with the kids.. I tried to drink lots of water each day, to the point where the kids mocked me saying oooohhh don't touch mammys bottle, she's measuring it! Brats;) now I'm home I've had 3 litres, 3 pieces of fruit, ww dinner, it was handiest, and 2 little pieces of light options carrot cake at 2 points each.. I've three points left but am not going to bother.. I'm so worried about Tuesday but I figure if I'm excellent the next three days the damage won't be so bad!!

    GT I only sent you mine now, sorry its late!

    phew lots to read back on, missed loads haven't had a chance to log on Hubby working mad hours and kids keeping me mad busy!

    I lost 1.5 this week, got my first 7 took me 7 weeks to get it I know its going to be slow loss for me as well, don't think I will ever see 3 or 4 pounds in one week but that's OK smile.gif

    Kay totally agree with your post, I'm in the same boat as you losing it slow and steady and can not wait to see the 11's downwards :)

    I made a yummy butternut squash soup so filling if any one wants the recipe I got it off Rivercottage you put peanut butter in it! I left it out so it was o pp but had some low fat natural yogurt with it yummy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 74 ✭✭lorimc


    Lainy I know you have said it before but how many points are in your lasagne and what size dish do you put it in.

    I'm thinking of allowing the extra points to put beef mince in but does anyone know where would do the leanest, I always find that the packet ones have alot of fat that needs draining out, im presuming the butchers would have the best?

    Thanks :D

    The Quorn Lasagne is 3 servings of 14pp or 4 servings of 10.

    yeah the butcher would be the best...but even the lean mince you'll be able to drain. so a good quality lean steak mince should be okay...even raw it should be dark wine red colour...with not that much white marbling thru the mince.

    watch out for offers in tesco they do 3 for €9 offer on meats nearly every second week, so you might be able to pick packs of lean mince in that.

    Its a standard square dolmio lasagne dish I use. Note the lasagne doesnt come up right to the top of the dish!

    Thats brilliant, well done, keep it up like that and the weight is gonna just fall right off.

    Yeah I'm always getting the 3 for E9 in tesco, its seriously cheaper for the chicken fillets and salmon.
    Think il go to the butchers later, they always have great deals on minute steaks so I may get a few of them too, mmmmmm steak. I could never turn veggie would miss my meat way to much.
