Hey this is my Jamie Oliver Recipe for pancakes. This makes enough for 4 people so I am going to cut it in half though because it makes far too much.
Serves Four
One cup of s/r flour (150g= 15pp),
1 cup of milk (250ml of skimmed milk = 3 pp),
1 egg (= 2pp)
so 15 altogether.
I’ll prob still put the whole egg in, so the recipe in half would be about 11 pp and that’s enough for two people and two good pancakes each! I grate a pear into the mixture too before frying on a non stick pan with a little spray oil.
Yum

:eek: Only one pancake...how can you be so disciplined!
I read somewhere this morning that someone puts melted cream egg, marshmallows and ice-cream on their pancake. Wonder how many points that wld be! Probly need this week and next week's weekly allowance for just one! Sounds sickeningly (SP) nice tho!have weigh in tonight,
bricking it,
manged to stay withing my points most days
did 3 4km runs and didnt use any of these points
and only about 1/3 of my weeklies
if i dont lost 4 pounds tongiht (cos its my first week) im goin to go insane in the membrane!
Hi eefums, I totally understand the nerves but try not to set unrealistic goals for yourself coz it will make it harder to stick with it, if you don't reach them.
I think everyone here will agree that the propoints programme seems to be a slower weight loss, so bear that in mind too.
Good luck...make sure and post back to let us know how you get on 0 -
Hi all!
I am going to make pancakes tonight (with skimmed milk and one egg as per Lady Lainy's recipe) however I just had breakfast in the work canteen there and decided to have a pancake as they looked so nice.
It was about the size of a side plate and I just put a little bit of Low Low on it.
I have no idea how to point it!!!!
Any ideas anyone? I'd say it was just standard, eggs, flour, milk ...

I went for a 3mile jalk(walk/Jog) this morning (06:50 it was bloody freezing) and felt as if I could throw up near the end of it...I kept the same pace/time as I normally would, only difference is that normall y I would do this in the evening.
Thanks
I wouldn't think it's a good idea to exercise on an empty stomach...if your blood sugars drop you could faint. This would probably be more relevant for the morning time, when you've been fasting for 7 or 8 hours because you've been asleep.
Thanks for the spreadsheets by the way....looking forwarding to printing them off and adding them to my growing file of WW recipes
I've noticed a huge difference since I started drinking more water. I try drink two litres a day...Just back from WI & I was down 1lb. I definitely ate more this week - dipped into my weeklies by 22 (I sometimes don't touch them, but always eat my dailies) & this seems to have increased by weightloss. Just hoping now that giving up the diet coke & substituting it for water will increase it again for next week.
Let's make sure we stick with it. Think of the summer & all the light clothes & no more baggy cardigans.
Wk1 i lost 3.5lbs
wk2 i was up 1.5, but I hadn't been well and I'd had a lot of socialising and totm was due
wk3 was down 3lbs...
Haven't changed what I was eating and for wk 2 and 3 didn't have the energy to exercise.
Totally agree, that we should all stick with it! This is like a 24/7 extension of the class for me, it's great. I've really appreciated all the tips and advice and recipes.Lady Lainy wrote: »fecking hell....sleep really makes or breaks me....thats just so weird...yesterday i was on a weight gain suicide mission in the fridge!
went to bed and slept and slept and slept....and today....i feel back in control!
And if the munchies attack...i'm going to have a bowl of oatmeal, a complex whole grain low point snack!
Yesterday did not happen! its in the past! I'm over it! cant wait for this week to be over!
Sleep should be bottled and sold in health shops. It's so important for everything. I've started going to bed earlier now with a view to getting up and going for a walk before work in the next couple of weeks. I've been awake 15 minutes before the alarm goes off every morning for the last week.0 -
Just back from my first WI being back on the old plan and down 1.5lbs
delighted with that as it's my TOTM and it's only from 4 days because I weighed in a day early and had a bad day on Fri! Feeling much more positive being back on the old plan. My mum said to me last night that she noticed that I was loosing weight again
Pancake Tuesday is my favourite 'holiday' so don't think I'll be able to control myself. We only have pancakes this day every year so I'm just going to enjoy it. Already have had 3 small ones!
Well done to anyone else who lost today or yesterday and good luck to the rest of ye!0 -

My sis was also struggling with the new plan and was thinking of going to unislim for a change. She's not far off her goal now, and I'd hate to see her throw in the towel and put on all the weight she worked so hard to loose!
Enjoy your pancakes mrs!
Thanks kay, fofany and kildareash.
It's kinda hard to put my finger on what it is exactly. What made me switch was that I lost 20lbs on the old plan before Christmas so I know it works for me. I think the old plan is stricter in that you don't have the weeklies. It's so easy to right off a weekend and say oh my weeklies will cover that. But I found when I didn't use my weeklies I struggled to survive on just 29 dailies as they wouldn't cover my 3 main meals and snacks. I'm a fussy eater. I don't eat fish or a lot of veg so I think my meals just fit into the old plan better.
Did your sister lose her weight on the old plan? I know there was a woman in my class that was very close to goal and the leader told her to stay on the old plan. If she did and she's finding propoints hard then maybe suggest to her to go back on the old plan and see how she gets on?
Thanks I'll definitely be going for a long walk later as I'm off college so nothing to do but eat pancakes 0 -

Delighted to hear you have had a good loss Eabha.
Ive been at a plateau for about the last 4 weeks, even have gone up a pound. Was thinking that propoints isn't suiting me and I might give the old plan a go for a few weeks. Worried that i maybe overdose on the fruit (have about 4-5 pieces per day). I have stuck to the plan religiously this week, dipped into the weekly points a little at the weekend but just by about 10, have done an hours walk on all the work days and did 2 50 min jogs aswell. Still no loss. It's v disheartening
