They are the "lightly dusted" fish fillets. They come in a small blue and yellow box with 2 fillets in it. They have Haddock, cod and sole from what i can see.... maybe there are more. But they are gorgeous! I couldn't believe that they are all only 4pp. I pointed some Donegal catch and it was 7pp for roughly the same size fillet. AND they are only €2.50 or something....

My freezer is full of them!!!!

You know I am on 26 + 7 for breastfeeding and then my 49 now I decided last week after WI that I was going back to 29 and only having 2 extra for feeding the baby as we are at the weaning stage now and he is not relying in me as much any more. I used about half my 49 walked lots and Zumba Wednesday night and some exercise on the wii Im not sure if thats why I got the good loss this week! I kinda think its a loss from last week and this week went I shifted the excess water and moved in the other department

But I'm trying it again this week, although I am not looking for a big loss each week 1 pound and the odd 2 pound will make me very happy

The one day I really want soup and they have creamy soups or meaty soups in work! Grrr. So I ended up having the biggest plate of 0pp salad and a 6pp wrap. Have 19pp left for tonight and all 49 weeklies. Still have no idea who to pp my dinner but atleast I have lots left for it!

Which yogurts are they Ali? When I click on the link it won't open because I'm not registered to shop online?

BaileyPants · 09-03-2012 01:51PM

OMG, was so not expecting a loss this week! 1.5lbs down whoop!

I hadn't tracked, out of pure laziness, but had still been relatively good, not that I could say for sure mind you because of the lack of tracking, but had done a good bit of exercise. Davina, horse riding & yoga.

Had been getting quite down hearted about the whole thing having sts last week & finding it very hard to stay within my points. The OH doesn't really like veggies, so I tend to just make whatever and only have a small portion myself. Chicken or fish & a plate of veggies would do me, I tend to spend more than I should on dinners rather than make one dinner for him & another for myself.

Have to figure something out there. But delighted and re-motivated now after having a loss, yeay! :-)

Congratulations to all the losses the past day or two also! Really amazing x

ShindyB · 09-03-2012 01:53PM

Well done Bailey!

Bailey I was on 26pp finding it hard so moved back to 19, i dont use them everyday but do some days find it much easier and no affect on the weight loss.. im not saying you should do it but it did work for me. 29 was the old minimum before the changes in December.

Edit: PS WELL DONE ON YOUR LOSS!!

Dunno whats wrong with me I seem determined to sabotage myself, i blew all my daily 26+ the 49 weeklies last night, today i have easily done the same already. I know its coming up to the totm but I seem to have let my will power off on a mini break (it thinks its christmas), i need to stick to fruit now for the rest of the evening and stick to within the 26 till next thurs or i am going to have undone all my good work.

Ali, sorry to burst your bubble but those yoghurts are definitely 2PP. Perhaps you pointed per 100g? The yoghurt pot is 125g

RachaelFergie · 09-03-2012 05:06PM

I'm going to hell just had a curry chip with cheese!!! Can't even start pointing it!!

IrishHomer · 09-03-2012 05:11PM

Anyone else think we should have a mens ww section here on boards? I find this thread mostly dominated by women and I think us men are being isolated here? I just find mens ww issues should be separate would be more relevant to me I feel?

I was thinking I had pointed them at 2 before. I made that exact same mistake with yoghurt, was so chuffed about it, but didn't realise until a week after I had had one almost every day for lunch, happened to be a week that I put on weight too

Has made me alot more vigilent when pointing products though!

You should ask a mod and see what they say.

Ah balldricks!

I pointed them from the nutritional info on the Tesco site.... i knew it was too good to be true! haha

Taz1 · 09-03-2012 05:54PM

I've decided to treat myself to a takeaway tonight, I'm between Thai or Eddie Rockets, now I know Thai would probably be the better option health-wise but Eddies is more easily pointed. What ya'll think?
