Just had my lovely couscous for lunch and am pleased to say that today, I got the ratio of curry powder to couscous right It was just the right amount of spicy. What I did was add some curry powder to the boiling water before I poured it over the couscous so that the couscous absorbed some curry powder as well Genius, imo

Hi guys, off work today and trying to force the water into me! Typical! At work yesterday I had already gone thru two 700 ml bottles! Anyway onwards....

Was in Dunnes today and very pleased to report I fit into size 16 cropped trousers. So pleased! Was gas going into work on Monday, my bloody knickers kept falling down anytime I went walking anywhere - I know TMI!!! We're away this weekend so in an effort to look presentable have got myself a little mini size down wardrobe. Just a couple of trousers for work and some leggings, and of course knickers!! :P Don't want to get too much as hopefully they'll be getting looser after a while. Funny enough where I seem to have lost inches is round my ass, hips and thighs, stomach has gone down a bit but not hugely so. Maybe it's the walking that's doing it for the hip region.

Was at the dr this a.m. back in February my blood pressure was 155/87. Today - 133/86 which is quite a difference. Really gives me the incentive to keep up with the program!

Now back to that water......

Thanks for the tip


i just made the tortilla Quiche thing....OMG DEVINE! Liked it so much that while the oven was till hot i threw together a second on...and i'll have that for tomorrows lunch

Pics to come later (sad i know) I'm actually getting quite good at this whole cooking thing! And I actually enjoy it! Espcially when it comes to REALLY NICE TASTY LOVELY FOODS.....That are HEALTHY!

Must try that next week, would be handy for the work lunches. I can do soup a couple of days but not every day.

Its really nice! its 12pp for the whole thing....but could have half of it with a salad for 6pp! and recipe says hot or cold

(think yday might have said it was 10pp....i put in the wrong cheese when pointing it on ww online...i'd put in soft cheese instead of hard cheese when using the ww recipe pointer)

but 12pp for a seriously DELISH Quiche... compared to the ww quiche which is the size of a coaster for like 9pp or something!!!

Hi,
I have always had morning WIs (pre-brekkie, in leggins and a tee) but I've had to swap to an evening class from today on (post lunch and coffees -in jeans and a proper top). I'm kinda thinking in terms of weight between the clothes and the time difference, I'll probably take about a two to three pound hit would that be about average so I dont have heart failure when I step on the scales?

well i was up 0.5lb which wasn't much as i no but stll after me putting in such a tough and good week with food and exercise. unfortunately i have fallen off the wagon since this mornings weigh in, literally my aunt called out so we had a scone, crunchie ice cream, chocolate and pringles, omg im destraught, they were so nice but think i was so dwn about being up this morning that i just gave up. well im now trying to recover and plan for the rest of the week. i assume all my daily and weekly points are gone on this binge but sure all i can do is improve from here now and hope for the best!!!

Bikram again tonight. Dreading it at this stage. This is what I'm telling myself- there's only 8 more lessons and then I never have to do it ever again for the whole rest of my life, so no giving up. Then I can switch to something I actually enjoy like the cross trainer or rowing, or pulling my teeth out which I think I'd prefer right now.

If by some miracle of nature I am converted in this next 8 lessons then fair enough but considering my current theory that it was invented by someone trying extract information in the Guantanamo bay region then I am highly dubious of this happening.

you never know might not be as bad as you think, just get back on track do some extra exercise and you could be down that 0.5 and more it is possible draw a line under this morning and move forward! I know its so disheartening seeing a gain when your good, but there has to be a reason, show your tracker to your leader:) or up the water intake it's not TOTM

so scone was 5 plus 2 for butter and jam, 5 for the ice cream, 6 for the pringles and say another 5 for the chocolate depending on how much you had so that works out as about 23 give or take portion sizes!

have a healthy low PP lunch and dinner fill up on fruit add in some salad get some protein in there so you will feel full longer and you can still do it! better than giving up and being up 4 pounds next week! plus I bet you any thing getting back on track you will feel so much better for it and feel good in your self as well. keep us posted

Hi Lainey, I was just wondering which wraps you used for the quiche? I want to try this tomorrow but the ww wraps look a bit small. Would it be worth using a bigger wrap and adding the extra points? Thanks......

Would you consider Antigravity Yoga instead of the Bikram if you hate it so much? http://www.antigravityyogaireland.com/ I'm not sure if there are classes near you. I tried it before and it was good. If you like yoga then you'd probably like it. I'm not a mad yoga fan though!

Thanks for the advice. To be honest, I think after these sessions are finished I fancy going back to a more traditional cardio workout. On the bright side, I never thought anything would make me actually look forward to working out but after this experience everything else will seem like a doddle lol

I used tesco light choices, they're 5pp i think, and it still came to 12pp!

the ww wraps i think are rubbish quality! always ripping!

I'll be putting pics up in the min on the blog of it!

its was seriously DELISH and LOOKED good!

dice and chop everything as finely as possible. i think someone else on here made it other day and said the wrap didnt take the weight of it, I think she'd mushrooms added to it. So i diced everything as finely as possible today and turned out great

I greased the tin with a few sprays of fry light

thanks for the vote of confidence, ur so good,well pointed it all and it works out as my dailies and 20 of my weeklies but with no dinner so mite just ave small salad for 0points for dinner. I feel so sick after it that i dont even want to think of food really. It defo wasnt totm. Ya i said it to my leader this morning as i really wanted a loss this week with being so good and all she could think of was maybe im eating too much fruit, i dnt think i am as i have reduced it lately, well just going to have to wait until next week, and hope for the best, at least i dnt have any occassions this wkend so shouldnt need to dig into my wklies anymore, fingers crossed!maybe last wks exercise will catch up on me this wk, dont think im going to be that excessive though with the exercise as i have now come to the conclusion that it could be building muscle, all that spinning and aerobics. Sorry for the long rant but ive officially drawn the line and moving onwards and downwards!thanks for the support!

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me point my dinner from earlier please? I had a cajun chicken wrap with salad and wedges. I'm guesstimating as follows

Wrap - book says 3 pps, I'm thinking more like 5pps?
Chicken - 4pps
Cajun seasoning - no idea, it was like dry seasoning rather than a sauce - 2pps?
Tbsp coleslow - can only imagine it's full fat so 3pps
Cous cous - very small amount in the salad - 3pps
Some sort of clear salad dressing used sparingly - 1pps
And then the wedges, there was only 10/12 of them but they were defo deep fried :eek: Any ideas? Just as well I only had a glass of water with it!

This was all in a restaurant naturally, there's no way I'd be making something so point laden at home!

I'm off to print the recipe for the tortilla quiche for tomorrow's dinner

SAexpat

Is it just me or do snackajax (sour cream and chive) taste like CARDBOARD!!
Had a pitta for lunch with tomato lettuce and cheese and added a few as my daughter was having ordinary crisps in hers and I was being good LOL!
They are tasteless!!! My daughter tried one and said they remind her of polystyrene..
I now have a bag of them to add to the bag of velvet crunch that are not much better.... any suggestions for nice and tasty crisps please!!

what is nice is the Lidl wheat crisp bread. I think it was Lady Lainy who asked about cracker bread. They are a decent size and work out to 1pp per biscuit (10pp per 100 gram) 2 or 3 of them with low fat soft cheese (aldi or Lidl) a drop of sweet chilli sauce and even a little bit of gherkin -lovely tasty low point snack

I weighed in in an early morning class last week and went back to my usual evening class this week, was up 3lbs, but wasnt really up if you know what I mean?! You weigh 2-3lbs lighter in the morning! So don't have a heart attack when you step on the scales!

tayto snax are my fave!! only 2pp a packet and it feels like your eating 'proper' crisps!!

Down 3lbs

Makes the effort during the week worth it, hopefully can keep it up this week too. Going to do the shopping tommorow and stock up on point friendly food and do some cooking for the week.

Can anyone recommend a pizza thats low in points?.. Maybe they don't exist

Lady Lainy

Cous Cous was success! It was LOVELY! I did the whole sachet....cos i was only having chicken and salad for dinner

Cous Cous 10pp
Chicken Breast 4pp
Salad 0pp

Dinner 14pp

I did drown it in dressing....but i'm not point dressing! Might be a huge crime...but with 49 weeklies + 20 Activity points...i think I can afford a bit of salad dressing! If a nice dressing is what it takes for me to eat a MASSIVE plate of 0pp salad....its worth it!

Now for something sweet!

Banoffee Hot Chocolate from Options 16g dry is 2pp! YUUUUUUM

So glad I tried cous cous!

flamelily

evening all.....feeling very bleh today.....could only do 20 mins on the treadmill and I feel all bloated and yuck so I think TOTM is on the way......which doesn't bode well for weigh in......and I have been sooooo good this week will cry if I am up!!!!:(:(:(

on the plus side I am gonna put couscous and tortillas on the shopping list as the quiche thing sound yummy and you all have given so many recipes for couscous me gonna give it a go......I figure if I start planning for next week now, even if the scales are rubbish tomorrow I will have my bits planned and wont fall off the wagon!!!!

I know we don't like to endorse WW products, but their pepperoni pizza is lovely, I think. It is 13PP but you would need a side salad or something to be properly full up. It is quite spicy but very nice. They also do a chicken one for 12PP which I didnt think was great.

had wi this evening and was down 2.5lbs wasn't expecting that at all cos i have a cold since last week and haven't been able to exercise :eek: so im delighted with that. hoping to get back to exercise tomorrow

Great news!!!! Did wonder about your name as my son now 25 has Aspergers too. Always knew he had a problem but diagnosis for it didnt exist when he was little so he was almost 18 before diagnosis - had been checked for almost everything else! Please feel free to pm if you want to.

Ya walking can be monotonous but if you vary your routes it's grand. I have about 5 different routes I take depending on time available and whether I'm working that day or not.

Monife how did the wedding dress shopping go hun?

MaggieMay2

First WI tonight and I'm down 2.5lbs. Yay!

This sounds silly but I was secretly dissapointed. I kept telling myself all week that I'd be well chuffed with 2 but secretly hoping I was going to WI and she was going to say "your down 10 pounds nearly there!"......after my first week back.... Ha! Its a marathon not a race.....

gronja

Is it just me or are the activity points quite low on this new programme? Seems like a lot of effort for little gain. I suppose it encourages you to make sure that you stick to your daily/weekly propoints allowance and not just do more exercise so that you can eat more. Would like to hear your thoughts.

I live right across from a forest that has a lot of trails but i have walked every bit of it the last 2 months, want to go to the gym as i like the rowing machines and they burn a lot of calories.

there actually exactly the same as the old system. even the text to describe them on the ww site is the same text as the old sytem. its the stress and effort it puts on your body....exactly same as old sytem like its walking on treadmill i do, so 60 mins walking old system 6pt and 60 mins new system 6pp

but with the new system....activity doesnt count for as much as in the old sytem over all...cos ppl are eating extra now that fruit is 0pp and with the weeklies.... i

activity is just a bonus...adds to my health my fitness and inch loss...its eating right is more important....not just eating weeklies for the sake of blowing them...but spending them on nutritious healthy food cos your actually hungery and require the food!

Lady Lainy

off to make bran muffins....havent been doing as well this week as i did last week! had bran muffins last week.....none this week...so making them NOW so i have them to start tomorrow with game plan!

Quiche thing for lunch

Quorn Lasagne for Dinner!

What I do for my lunch somedays is get a pitta, cut it in half, put a little bit of tomato puree, some cheese (weighed and pointed of course!!), a little bit of pesto, onion and then I chop up a mini pepperami (only 1 point!) and put it on the top. Stick it under the grill until the cheese is melted and you will get a yummy pizza. Of course it's only the size of a pitta bread but you have two because it was cut in half, load up on salad and eat it with a knife and fork and you have a lovely lunch!! Of course you can use any type of topping you want, my mum uses ham and my leader uses bacon medallions!

Monife how did the wedding dress shopping go hun?

It went good. I think I found "the dress". It's €875 though :eek: without alterations and veil etc but my mam said she will pay for it Some of the shops we went to were awful and the size 18 wouldnt even fit but the shop I found the dress in had a great selection

aspie mum

WI tonight! Have had a really good week, or at least I feel like it's a really good week. I limited the amount of bananas down to 1 for the whole week :eek:, limited the amount of treats I had, tried to eat healthier and more filling foods during the day and also earned 21pp in activity points. Haven't used all my weeklies either So everyone, cross fingers and toes for me that I will be down!

Have a lovely dinner lined up for tonight - Ostrich Steak and BNS Chips! Might have some normal chips too cos the Ostrich Steak is only 5pp for 200grams!

gem2011

Had my wi last night and was down 2.5lbs, was so delighted. Didn't think I had lost anything as had a sneaky check on my own scales and they weren't showing anything. So 9.5lbs gone, want to get to my first stone before my holiday in 4 weeks so I think that's doable , fingers crossed anyway!

I also tried cous cous for the first time at home last night and I loved it! I used half a vegetable stock cube, a pinch of chilli powder and a pinch of fenugreek with it and it was delicious :pac:. Mixed loads of veg in with it then, it was so filling that I could only eat half so I have the other half for my lunch today, it is definitely going to be my new go to thing for dinners!

Baby75

Gem you gave me some hope! well done!

I have my WI this morning had a sneaky one when I got up and its not showing any thing either so we shall see later I guess

fofany

Well done everyone on all the great losses I've been reading about.

Monife, glad the dress search went well. I remember getting mine (nearly 12 years ago now) & it's still hanging in the wardrobe! I tried it on recently, just to see if I could get back into it - and I could.

flamelily

Great news on your little girl Aspie Mom, it is always soooo hard when you are waiting for assessments!!! Thanks for the info on the pizza have seen those bases and never pointed them. I love pizza, but avoid it cause its points heavy never thought to make my own toppings ..... so now tonites shopping list includes wraps, couscous and pizza bases this thread really is the dogs pyjamas!!!!

delighted that you found your dress Monife some wedding dress shops can be super-snooty and dress sizes well dodgy which is annoying!!! but then again dress sizes in ireland are annoying no two shops seem to carry the same size plan!!! I am now a 14 in some shops but still a 16 elsewhere :mad:
