Can anyone give me some advice on porridge. I've seen a few of you mention it and I think I need to try it to get the aul bowels moving (sorry
) I haven't had it since I was a young child so not sure if I'll like it. I'm looking for a low point one that is nice and easy to make!! Thanks
I get the Flahavan's Quick Oats. They give you a scoop in the tub & you just put in two scoops, top with water and bung it in the mirco for 2 mins. Then I either put on some splenda or banana and top with skimmed milk. If I have extra points, I put on 2tsps golden syrup for an extra 1pp. Delish! Had it last night when I came home for the gym instead of going for a load of chocolate
I'm making the chicken mince tonight! Going to put it with WW Chilli Con Carne sauce. Hid it in the microwave to defrost so the OH wouldn't see it and be like "ugh what's that?!" Not going to tell him until his plate is clean :P Heehee!!!0 -

Well done on all the losses!
I'm down just 1lb, a bit disappointing but still a loss however.. I'm now 12st 08lb so 1 stone 1 lb down in total
Ps my new favourite snack is table water crackers with 1 low low triangle, (lidl were selling them for 1 euro!) But according to the packet of Carrs crackers 6 crackers works out at 2 points! Seems like its too good to be true! 6 crackers, 1 triangle and 20g of ballymaloe jalapeno relish for 3.5pp!!0 -

Well done to both of you guys, such a good feeling, cant wait to get there myself....
Have been doing the PP now for 3 weeks, an had the WI last night...
WI 1 - 3lbs
WI 2 - STS
WI 3 - +2lbs
I have done the points system before and lost 28lbs on it, PP doesnt seem to be working for me at all, so frustrating, felt like packing it in last night. I dont know where I am going wrong, my leader isnt that informative either. I use my 29 pp and usually have 10 - 15 weeklies left each week. Also, I drink over 2 ltrs water per day and I run/walk 5 miles per day doing half in the morning and half in the evening. Its just so frustrating when you dont see results for your efforts....errrrrrrghhh. Sorry for the rant
That's really disheartening, especially since you're obviously working so hard. Why don't you try going back to the old system for a few weeks and see if it's any better for you? Try not to lose faith, keep going 0 -

This week I am kicking it up a notch - or 10 - and really going for it!! Going to get 15 mins in on threadmill in the mornings and then another 15 - 20 mins in the evening and me and OH are getting the Wii back in action...We get so competitive when we play it and it's so much fun!!
We've decided that rather than get "bad" food in moderation throughout the week we're going to have a binge night (within reason, of course) on Saturday night! Going to get a takeaway and some microwave popcorn and watch a movie with DD's - get mother's day off to an early start!!
Keep up the good work everyone x
2lb is great, I'd be delighted with that!
I've only lost more than one pound ONCE since I went to propoints.
Mmmmm microwave popcorn. We do that every weekend too. 0 -

Just thinking, I might make some of the toberlone cookies / blondies for our binge night - I can feel like I'm indulging but not doing too much damage!!
The last week I've swapped coke for Pepsi Max - I wouldn't drink coke regularly anymore (more so just on WI night when we get takeaway afterwards) but we were working out the other day just by drinking 1l of coke with our food we were adding like 15 PP and it's not worth it!! I never thought I'd pick Pepsi over Coke...people can change ha!!
I love Coke but I've cut it out completely
The thing is, I don't like any diet fizzy drinks at all. Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Pepsi Max...all horrible to me. Lucozade is another downfall, I think I have a borderline addiction! I sometimes have it when I'm hungover, but I used to sometimes drink a bottle a day so cutting down to once a week at the most has been tough.
The only non-alcoholic drink I really drink now is water. I always drank a good bit of water but now that it's practically the only thing I'm drinking, and now that I'm drinking a lot more of it, I can see improvements in my skin and my appetite is down. I think my colleagues are wondering why I'm going to the loo every hour though...(I've a tiny bladder

I'm the same with most diet drinks too - We could never tell the difference between 7up and diet 7up and we always went for the diet but if i have normal 7up now i hate it...it's madness!! I love the lemon lucozade!! God it's yum but very rarely buy it now, don't think I've had it since starting PP in January!!
I'm not a water fan at all, but i go through phases of loving my diluted drinks and then i won't have it for a day or 2 and am brutal again!! Life is tough :rolleyes:0 -
