Down 2lb shocked is the only word I can use!!

Congrats! That's fantastic.
I'm getting weighed this evening.
I think I've had a good week, possibly ate a little too much on Sunday but I'm hoping my four long walks would have helped.
I'll let you know tonight how I got on!

Hi guys,
Love reading this motivating thread. I'm getting a longing for a hot chicken fillet from spar etc - i'll go without the roll, far too many points! Anyone know the points of the chicken fillet?

Thanks in advance.

I asked the garage across from work they use fresh chicken breast in homemade bread crumbs so i give that 8pp The wholemeal demi Baguette is 8pp so you could have it as a treat sometime i know i do when I know I wont be having a big dinner

lisa_celtic · 17-04-2012 12:31PM

I was down 1lb today... which is great cause we were away for the weekend and ate everything.. but I'm still 2lb heavier than i was two weeks ago..

Just had a Demi Baguette 8pp, Ham 1pp Sweet chilli 1pp Lettuce,& tomatoes and a packet of snax for lunch so that was great for 12pp

Have 14pp left for dinner and it just struck me i never took the mince out of the freezer.. so choices will be well limited!

Just check their cooking methods. Most places oven bake, but I used to work in a deli where they were deep fried!

Hi all!

I'm back from a week in lovely Kinsale and I have to say I didn't track at all!
Ah sure it is the gourmet capital of Ireland after all!

But yesterday I was straight back into my tracking and was at the gym, so hopefully a couple of really good weeks will see me right again. I think I'll skip weighing myself for a couple of weeks just so I can give myself a chance to catch up!

I was half a stone from goal before leaving for Cork and I'm sure I'm closer to the stone now, but I'll get there this year - DEFFO!!

If anyone is into fish cakes - I got some of the smoked haddock ones from Lidl and they are yum! For only 1.99 for 4 they're great value and 4PP each.

Oh could you post a pic of the box or something. I love fishcakes and 4pp is brilliant. What size are they?

Up a pound and a half. Was a bit disappointed as I stayed within my points religiously this week.:(

Don't let it get you down, you have been doing so AMAZINGLY over the past few weeks. Was following you on the skinny doll challenge and you lost like 15lbs in 6 weeks. So think of this as just a blip - could be down to anything, even just your body doing funny things. Stay on track and you should keep getting the resutls!

Thanks. Yeah I'm happy with my progress. I think it's because I'm super stressed with college as this fortnight is the end of my semester and then I have to start my thesis. I've loads of projects due (5 in 2 weeks!) so I haven't been able to exercise. Hopefully I'll manage to maintain next week and then I can get back on track.

oh you just reminded me, I don't know if anyone else saw these or posted about them already, but I found spring rolls in aldi for 1pp each...

1pp each up to number 5 when 5 of them = 6pp

They are the party pack ones.not too big mind you, but they come in a box of 20 or 25. Sooooo tasty with some sweet chilli sauce. I had them with some veggie rice... they were DELISH!

Taz1 · 17-04-2012 03:04PM

Down 1lb last night - I've come to a point where I know ther closer I get to goal the harder it will be to shed the pounds and its made me really appreciate any amount of a loss so I'm thrilled with that! May have went on a bit of a chocolate binge afterwards but feck it that was last weeks eating and I'm onto a fresh new green book!

I made the chocolate brownies yesterday from a recipe out of one of the WW magazines and my god were they good! The recipe includes malteasers so ya can only imagine how good! 3pp each but a small enough portion, still worth it as a treat every now and then maybe even heated up with a bit of ice cream as a dessert, yum!
Anyway, best of luck to everyone with this weeks WIs!

Does anyone know a 0pp recipe to make sauce for spaghetti bolognese? Passata is a first anyway yeah?

I know how you feel.
My weigh in is this evening and I think I'm up even though I tracked religiously and went for walks.
I don't generally weigh myself too often at home, but I did today and it's not looking like I've shifted any weight this week.
I'll know for sure later, keep your fingers crossed for me please!

Yup. I don't like prunes though so I left them out! Think it made them even more chocolately

I cute the prunes up into tiny pieces, practically pureed and i think they just added a bit more sweetness and moisture. Didnt taste like prune at all.

Hmmm interesting because yeah I would have said they lacked a bit of moisture - might try that next time so!

mellowkelly · 17-04-2012 07:10PM

I think this recipe is good for 9pp per portion as spag boll can be quite high in points depending on what you use.

i used it for a lasagne at the weekend too and was lovely

Down half a pound tonight. Thrilled after my weekend away and 3 course dinner!! Gonna be so good this week and my back is nearly back to normal so bumping up the exercise again to give it a boost.

Best of luck everyone this week :-)

Taz1 · 17-04-2012 08:48PM

Think i may have pointed quorn mince wrong. I pointed 100g at 3points according to the packet but that didn't say from frozen. 100g would probably be double that wouldn't it?

dazzlemoo · 17-04-2012 09:03PM

Hey everyone.
I got weighed this evening-up 1lb. I wasn't surprised 'cos I'd weighed myself this morning and thought I'd be up, but I'd had a really good week and tracked everything.
Just gonna keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully see a result next week.
The leader said a good week won't pass me by, so fingers crossed!

Boop22 · 17-04-2012 09:38PM

Thanks taz, I've been pointing it wrong all along so. I think i wud rather just have normal bread for the extra 2 pp if that's the case!!

Yeah just be careful with 'normal bread' coz they're not all 2pp per slice, as our leader informed us this week!

dazzlemoo · 17-04-2012 10:14PM

Our leader was also talking about bread and mentioned that the thick soda bread, yknow McCambridge's....two slices of that is 6PP, which some people found high, but someone made a good point-if it fills you up more than regular bread,then it's probably better.

I might try some this week and see. Getting fed up with the usual brown bread.

Yeah it is quite high but I look at it like that too. I sometimes have it with a bowl of 0/1 pp soup to help fill me up a bit, I think soup tastes the best with brown soda bread anyway!
