Does anyone know how many PP are in an Ice-cream cone with Flake??
Work organised ice-creams at lunch and i couldn't resist...:o

Someone told me on the Facebook page last week that there are 10PP in a 99. Not sure if it's correct though. Still, I actually thought there would be more.

The weekend looms and I need to save my weeklies for our anniversary meal on Tuesday. I want to have some wine with it (or another low pp alco drink, maybe coors light) and have steak so I have to save my pp and earn some exercise pp. Anyone have tips to prevent the weekend muchies?

Re: 99's, I don't know about points but I think there is 240 calories in one but 12g of fat, that second bit turned me right off them!

12g of fat? Jesus! :eek:

When I was pointing ice-creams for my blog last week, any info I could find was saying 5 points for a small 99 without flake. I had one on Saturday and I specifically asked for it to be small so I pointed it at 7 in total as flakes wouldn't be that high in points. Hope that helps.

Also for anyone struggling, I decided to do a post on my blog based on the topic of my meeting last night. I found the meeting so motivating that I thought it might help others. Here you go http://fattoslimin50lbs.blogspot.ie/2013/06/it-is-more-than-diet-it-is-lifestyle.html?m=1

I mentioned a few days ago that I was feeling bloated and my fingers were swollen. Yesterday I saw a huge improvement and this morning I woke up feeling really good. I think I've discovered what was causing it...grapes. I was eating a portion of grapes every day as a snack. I stopped on Thursday and once I did the bloating subsided. I thought I'd share that as I was reading up on it and fruit in general can cause bloating. Just something to keep an eye out for!

Just had the most delicious breakfast of blueberries, raspberries a banana with coconut yoghurt and a tablespoon of granola. So good for 4pp and I'm stuffed!

I'm meant to be on 39 points a day, can barely make it to 29!! I suppose that can only be good right?? :P

As long as you're not going under 26 I think you should be okay. I'm on 26 and I still find it quite hard to eat them all sometimes.

You should eat your full daily points allowance otherwise you risk plateau-ing quite soon into your weightloss journey. If you consistently eat less than your points allowance, when your points allowance drops, you may not lose weight as your body has gotten use to less points.

To make it up to your dailies, try adding healthy fats like avocado or oily fish or unsalted nuts to your meals. Eat full fat dairy and drink full fat milk, it's better for you anyway. Have orange juice with your breakfast.

Weeklies are optional so if you want a treat, you can use your dailies.

Just to let you know Tesco have some special offers on some Weight Watcher friendly foods atm. Kraft light salad dressings are €1.50, were €1.99. Spiegels are only €1, were €1.20. Not much but every little helps! I bought a few packets and I'm just going to put them in the freezer as they defrost really quickly.

Day 5 is off to a good start!

Had my breakfast which was 40g of the Aldi red berry cereal with 100ml of skimmed milk which was 5PP. Then had half a veg spring roll. A full one works out at 4PP so I'm counting 2PP.

I've just been out for a walk/jog. 5km in just under 46 minutes. Walked the first km, jogged all the second, walked the 3rd, jogged some of the 4th, walked a bit and jogged the last one home. Not bad considering I did almost no exercise before I re-joined WW.

I've found my before pic. God I'm huge in it and I didn't realise it at the time. It's from Christmas 2011 and my dress that I thought I looked skinny in is a size 20 and I'm barely squeezing into it. It's safe to say I'm not letting myself go back there.

Check the nutritional information and use the calculator on the WW website.

I just made a delicious celeriac and apple soup. My leader was telling us about how celeriac is a good fat burning food so I decided to give it a go. I made enough to do me for lunch for the week.

I just made the French Toasties from the WW website. OMG yummy!!! And only 7PP. I have 2 left for the night now.

Went running this morning, at about mile 4, went over on my ankle, all day in a&e, ligaments bruised (not broken which is great) but probably laid up for the next while, big manly swollen ankle, feeling v v v v sorry for myself but thankfully can't drive to get chips. (My usual pity food...)

A pretty crap day! :-(

Hope you get better soon. Focus on getting better and weight loss will come naturally!

I have had a strange weekend in terms of food. I have stuck religiously to points and used all my 49 points. However I ate so much junk food it was ridiculous. So it'll be interesting to see how the scales fare on Thursday when technically I was still within points. Its a bad habit and one that I don't plan on keeping.
