Oh YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! I used it for 3 chicken fillets (1 each for 3 of us) and a whole heap of mushrooms, peppers, onions, courgettes - had some baby spuds with it and it was absolutely gorgeous and I'm stuffed!! I'll definitely be getting it again, it's the nicest one of those put-stuff-in-bags-things that I've tried
Cheers Lainy! 0 -

Actually I've made this mistake before, the whole pack is 3 points so it's only 0 if you're using 1/4 of the pack i.e. 1 pack for four chicken breasts, if you used it over 3 chicken breasts its 1 point per breast. Hope this makes sense, still it's not bad at all even at 1 point.0 -

cool good to know! do they have like ready meal things like pasta salads? I might pop in tomorrow and splurge bit of cash on some nice healthy tasty foods to take on the boat out whale watching monday so
Also going to buy a couple of new books, and get back into reading, if i'm feeling bored....make a cup of 1pp hot chocolate and read a chapter
Got my camera fixed, collecting it tomorrow....Yipppeee
Lainy: Defo recommend a trip to M&S (if you have the money, expensive). Was in there today and they have gorgeous salads in the "Count on Us" range with the PP on the back. Protein packed either tuna, chicken, prawn etc with lots of salad-y goodies and some of them have pasta in it. Today I got a "Count on Us" ready meal (not useful for your trip, but gorgeous), got the cajun chicken fettucini/linguine and it was GORGEOUS and 10PP. They have loads of stuff and they are much more generous in their portions than WW meals, WW meals haven't a patch on them. They are doing some of the range as buy 2 for €6.50.

NON-SCALE VICTORY TODAY!!!!!!! For the first time ever, went into a high street shop (A-wear) and bought not 1, not 2 but 3 items of clothing that fit and look great on (2 were size 18, 1 was size 16/18). Delighted. I am in an awkward stage where I am kind of in between sizes in some shops and also the baggy/flow-y type of clothes I used to buy, look horrible on me now as they give no shape and make me look bigger than I am, where as the more fitted clothes, the majority don't look great as there's still lumps and bumps, but delighted with what I got today. 0 -

2 for 6.50 isnt that bad for M&S, might get a few even just for the weeekend and for monday for the journey to cape clear at least. Thanks for the tip!
Going to take out a few chicken breasts tonight, and cook up a bag of them in the maggi so juicy tomorrow! all this talk of maggi! haha0 -

Ha too funny sat down to browse on the computer and catch up while having my dinner and its exactly what were talking about. I can't have food envy now! Trying the garlic one for the first time. OMG they are great. So fricking tasty and the easiest thing to make when you couldn't be too bothered 0 -

Hello everyone just back from a week in Italy, had great time and really enjoyed the food & wine back on the ww plan now again, dreading weigh in on tues but the leader was saying last time that the first weigh in after a holiday is crucial, just like first one after christmas, so we'll see how it goes! Spent about 2 hours catching up with the thread lastnight, some great motivation to inspire me :-) 0

Paid for my treadmill at Elvery's today, should have it by Wednesday. Also got an i-fit weight loss card thingy in which there's an 8 week program designed by a personal trainer for weight loss, sur I'll see how it goes!
Had the Pizza for my din dins last night, hadn't had one in over 3 months, I'm not mad for pizza regularly but now and again I'd get a hankering for one and do you know after last night I was thinking "meh,
why did I bother" - kinda carb overload and twasn't all that! Maybe my taste buds are changing after all these years.
Don't know who it was back in the thread said about being hungry all the time after starting WW. I was the same for the first 3 or 4 weeks, just felt like I had a bottomless pit that couldn't be filled but that feeling does go after a while and you do feel more satisfied within your point range, so persevere and you'll be fine! A lot of it is to make good choices.
50th birthday party tonight, and I had thought all the month's socialising would be over then but we've been invited to a 21st next saturday night! But at least I've already me my goal for the month of losing 3 pounds so hope to keep it off now and maybe add another 2 pounds to the month's goal!0
