    Thanks Monife, when i feel disheartened this thread is fab :) 6 days a week fair play!! I know i should prob do more for the first few months anyway... like when i come back from couch to 5k i do feel great and i do be thinking oh my god only 30 mins out of my day theres no reason why i cant do it at least 6 days a week and have a rest day then!

    No probs. 6 days on a good week though. It is usually more like 4, maybe 5 days a week lol :)

But you cant always be prepared so I've decided to put up some points for you all-cereal bars! One thing I would grab if I was on the go and needed a lowpoint snack..or not so low as the case may be!! I hope the rest of you get as much of a shock as i did from some of these "healthy" snacks!

    Golden Oat Bakes 6pp
    Ginger Bakes 5pp
    Chocolatechip 5pp
    Raisin 5pp

    Kellogs Nutrigrain:
    Blueberry/Apple/Strawberry 4pp

    Alpen Light:
    Apple and sultana 2pp
    Summer Fruits 2pp

    Blueberry/ Cranberry & Apple/Hazlenut & Raisin 3pp

    Special K:
    Red Berry 2pp
    Bliss raspberry & Chocoloate 2pp

    How many activity points are in housework?? :D

    Haven't even had time to think about food, weather like that calls for a salad or something light, anything else would be too heavy.

    WI tomorrow night, feel happy about this week so fingers crossed the scales reflect that. Saw family over the weekend that I hadn't seen since before I started WW and they were raving about how well I looked. Absolutely delighted, gave me motivation to keep going :)

    Thanks for the list numbernerd...I loved the Chocolate Elevenses & the Nature Valley Crunch Granola oat & honey on the old system but I can't justify spending 5PP on these - shame cuz I really do love them!!

    Very happy about the Tracker bars / rice krispie squares tho (haven't had a square in years)!! And I'm def trying those Alpen chocolate fudge - what a bargain 2PP!!!

    Hi GT_TDI_150, i know sirloin is 7PP for 225g (one of my fav dinners yum) so i reckon it might even be as low as 5PP but don't quote me on that!

    Having round steak myself tonight with the OH. We are heffers when it comes to steak lol good job we only have it occasionally. We got 620g round steak. I am going to have about 280g which I worked out at being around 9PP. As Garden Gurl said, sirloin steak is 7PP for 225g, I would say round steak is pretty much the same.

    Thanks for the list, that is brill. Can't believe the squares are less than the elevenses, used to love them.

    On another note, have a pot of soup on the cooker. Was feeling a bit adventurous and have used a whole BNS, 2 large red peppers, 2 onions, 2 chilli's and 2 veg stock cubes. Looks loads, will keep me going for the week, might even have to freeze some. Have never tried BNS before, so really hope I like the soup, smells good already though. :)

    confession time!

    have munched my way thru 3/4s of a packet of plain digestive biscuits while doing college work! 2pp a pop! I've blown nearly 20pp on freaking biscuits...sickening!

    Heya, it's 18PP for the Chicken Satay. I wouldn't use that as gospel though as I got it from the WW Australian site (link below).

    http://www.weightwatchers.com.au/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=40091&sc=3030

    With the noodles, I would weigh them and then add a few extra PP for the oil.


  • Registered Users Posts: 113 ✭✭Garden_Gurl


    Thanks Monife...I was working it out at about that based on the Chicken Curry at 12PP + extra for the nuts & oil. Just wanted to make sure. Am so proud of myself, have ordered BBQ spare ribs every time I've gotten Chinese recently & I didn't tonight & I didn't order any chips either :D

    Oh delivery man just buzzed the door yum yum x


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,917 ✭✭✭✭GT_TDI_150


    mmmh,mmmh,mmh!

    round steak, oven chips and a salad!

    14PP and I'm stuffed!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 863 ✭✭✭Eabhabear


    Had a bit of a bad day food wise. Went out for dinner for my Dad's birthday and was actually quite good there. Had the chicken ceaser salad, drank water and had no starter or dessert. Then came home and had cheesecake :mad: It was a delish white chocolate and marshmallow one so no idea how many points it is. On the plus side I've been good all week sticking to points and exercise so I'm still hoping to be down on Weds. Really need to be down!!

    Awh perhaps..I'm still using my wheel thingy so maybe my result is less accurate..
    Got info from Tesco website and with Protein 1g, Carbs 19.4g and Fat 1.6g I worked it out at 3pp.

    Glad the rest of you found it useful-some of the results were eye opening to say the least!!

    I have everything crossed that my super strict pointing and intense excercise this week will have me down the 2lbs I need for my first stone tomorrow night...eek there will be war if not :P!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,014 ✭✭✭Monife


    Om nom nom nom!! The soup is actually gorgeous. So glad I took the risk to try something new. Looking forward to my lunch tomorrow now.

    Protein 1g, Carbs 15.4g, Fat 1.3g according to the box I have in front of me. Maybe we are talking about different bars.

    Good on you Lady Lainy, I find if i don't plan my food for the following day(s) that's when I fall off the wagon.

    I've my food planned out for the next 5 days, i'll be cooking for 1 my OH is working abroad for the week boo hoo.

    Have a good week everyone

    the painkillers i'm on have to be taken in the morning....so they have me drowsy all day....not even diet coke perked me up this weekend.....lets blame them for my disastrous weekend! LOL

    The Rice Krispie Squares are a bargain for 3pp....but i know if i stock up on them i'll end up scoffing them....it'll cost more...but i think its going to be safer to just buy one at a time in the canteen

    Had a terrible day yesterday :( Was good on Saturday night and had just two glasses of wine. Then yesterday started out good with porridge for breakfast and a nice healthy 5pp lunch! Then around 4pm, it went pear shaped :( Went down to my sister for her birthday, ended up having a small piece of cake (small as was still in the right frame of mind at this point). Went home and had dinner. Then the OH went out for an hour and I don't know what happened! All of a sudden, I had gotten through 1/2 a packet of chocolate digestives :eek: And it didn't end there! When he came home, we had our dessert which was 3pp mini trifles I was after making during the day. Then I had a cup of tea, some cadburys chocolate fingers, a mini roll AND a WW bar :eek: And why did I eat all this? Because I was having a pity party for one! I had a sore back and a migraine, then to top it all off, it's TOTM this week, so I was in a horrible down-in-the-dumps mood that I just couldn't shake. I had to just go to bed to stop myself.

    So I've drawn a line under that today. Feeling much more positive, I've only 1lb to go to my 10% & four more days to WI. So going to be good! Also starting an Italian cookery class tonight so looking forward to that! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 197 ✭✭Layla0509


    Morning Everyone

    Oops, sorry, should have said that - is it an iPhone? If so double click the home button and your home screen should move up to show a row of apps still open in the background. Hold down on one until it starts to shake and a little exit icon will appear on the top left corner. Tap that to close it. You'd be surprised how much battery life gets wasted by apps open in the background!!

    I was running around here yesterday like a blue arsed fly cleaning, probably more exercise in that than when I actually try to do exercise :p

    Hopefully get the pedometer soon so I can actually see!

    Having lovely porridge this morning, and have a fab salad made for lunch. Fingers crossed for tonight!!
