I have been having a chicken or tuna wrap most days thinking they were 3points and lower than 2slices of bread!! Ah well, its back to the WW wraps now!
(The tortilla quiche was still worth the extra points!! I'll just have to share it with someone the next time!)
Ya dats really annoying isnt it? You think all the packaging wud be upgraded by now for two weeks i lived on those pointing them @ 3pp oops dats y dis thread is so handy u learn new things all the time:D
PS the tortilla quiche does sound yummy tho and worth the points too haha

This thread is saving me a tenner a week! I have stopped going 2the meetings but am still doing ww myself. I weight myself at the same time every week and am taking part in GTI's "motivation thing"- thats my weekly weigh in. The summer is going 2be busy, I'm going away for 2weeks (plenty of eating out with lots of wine:)) and have a few weekends away. It will also be harder for me to get as much exercise with the kids on holidays from school. Its hard to pay and find out that I'm up a pound or have STS. I might go back in September to really work at losing the weight but I think my weight will be up and down over the next few weeks. I hope that by following this thread I will stay motivated and get tips to stay good over the summer! I really dont want to put back on the stone I have lost since March!0 -

That is the idea But because this thread is in the Nutrition & Diet Forum which promotes healthy eating, we are not allowed to give any suggestions for cakes/sweets/biscuits etc so that is why we have the other thread in the Food & Drink forum It's complicated! Would you post the cinnamon meringues in there? They sound delish!

well so far today i've been good. but that wont enough to save me!
Ah well! weather meant to start getting good tomorrow. So going to start on my potted herb garden!
Anyone got basic flavoursome tomatoe sauce. I have pessata as a base...but what combo of seasoning do ye use
All stocked up in my thai green salad dressing so loving salads again! For me drowning it in dressing is the trick! LOL! but it is 99% fat free so its not too bad
really quick and easy 0pp tomatoe sauce:)

Stick with it & in a few weeks you'll have forgotten about the old points. Kitkats (2 fingers) are 3pp, Alpen light cereal bars are 2pp, funsize pack of Maltesers are 3pp, snack size packets of Jammie Dodgers (4 small biscs in each pack) are 2pp or rich tea biscuits are 1pp each. There are loads of low-point snacks out there. I try to stick with ones that are individually wrapped so I can't be tempted to eat more! Good luck with the weight loss. This thread is great for keeping up your motivation - well, WW worked this time for me & the only thing different was reading this thread every day.
Thanks a mill fofany, I will make note of them! Everything I was pointing seemed really high so ive basically been afraid to eat anything other than my 3 main meals and then end up feeling starving going to bed:(. I defo want it to work this time and for the weight to stay off. I have been keeing within my dailies and haven't touched my weeklies. I plan not to use any of them seeing as it is my 1st week. Want to get a good kick start into it Hoefully I will see some results at my first WI on Wednesday. This thread is such a great help, i can feel myself getting slightly addicted but it definately gives you the motivation to keep going and to pick yourself up after a bad day.
Thanks again for your tips 0 -
Hi everyone,
Barely had time to keep track if this thread the last few weeks. Sorry for the random posting.
Glad to c I'm not the only one who's had the munchies the last few evenings, I was thinking it was the cold!
I really need to get more organised, just had pizza the last two evenings because I was so tired and hungry after work I cld barely even wait the 20minutes for it to bake!
Got some nice fish fillets for today's dinner.
Found out during the wk that the problems I've been having are more related to my stomach than my gallstones. Hopefully I'll just have to take a stomach tablet and it'll clear it up, but obviously what I eat will have a big effect on it too.
Good luck to all those weighing in today, the new boards mobile site is much better than the old one so I'll be able to keep in touch a lot easier now 0 -

A more satisfying supper for 3pp is : packet of melba toast (6 pieces for 2pp), 35g extra light philadelphia (1pp). Spread the cheese onto the melba toasts & top with shredded lettuce & sliced tomato. A whole plateful for 3pp if you prefer a savoury snack. Or add 40g smoked salmon for an extra 2pp.
Like you, I didn't want to dip into my weeklies at the start, but remember they are there to be used. If you are going to bed hungry, you'll get fed up & give up. I always make sure I have 4-6pp left for a supper or glass of wine at the end of the day. Good luck on Wed & let us know how you got on.0 -

Feeling MUUUUUUCH better today!
Tomorrow meant to be a scorcher of a day! So going to pop into tesco in the morning and get some potted herbs have flower beds in pots ready
Also got email today telling me the doggie obedience classes i signed up to are started next month I'm REALLY looking forward to to that! Get to show off my puppy! Tho by then he's nearly going to be a dog But it'll get me out of the house, interacting with people, and give me something to do at home, practice his training...he'll be top of his class!
Going in on tuesday to hopefully get the implanon in. Also going to check out sale rack in new look. Pick up a few cheapy essentials....nothing actually fits....like it fits...but things look HUGE on me....so they make me look BIGGER...
ALOT of REALLY nice stuff in there "inspire" range at the moment....i'd be buying it all (if i had any special occasion to go to)
I havent had dinner yet But its already prepared in fridge, lasagne + salad 13pp, and have 5pp left after that
I've also had my 2 litres of water!0 -

hello peeps
been AWOL this week due to lack of internet connection (stupid service provider.....swear, mutter, curse, rude words etc:mad::mad::mad:) and 'family issues'
but am happy to say I was down 2 lbs
had the serious munchies yesterday....didn't make the best choices but at least I didn't clobber all my weeklies.....was on the straight and narrow today and hope to keep it up for the rest of the week!!!
Started week 4 of C25K....man it is getting tough but I felt great after and running is a great way to work off emotional stress....better than eating rubbish which is usually what happens!!!
off to catch up on the thread and see what you have all been up to!!0
