fio2 - I have to be organised this time. I have put it off so much before, hence DD is now 20 months and I am still having to join in Well, had 2 bits of WW toast for breakfast and off swimming now. At least it is a good start....

Good luck everyone!

well done guys welcome to all

very nice sounding dream outfits..... Like the butterfly top.

Ok TODAYS QS

how are you coping with snack attack moments?

I rely on raisins or drinking water or in the pm just going to bed

Maybe I will be thinner AND look less tired!

snack attack moments hmmmmm i try and have a drink of water before i succumb, or think of something that needs doing, do that then decide if i want a snack or if i really HAVE to have a snack go for something low point (Im doing ww) so some fruit, soup, bread, pink and whites from asda!

good idea about the sleep one, i really need to get more sleep in and going to bed when i felt hungry should ensure i get about an extra 10 hours!!

i wish i was organised enough to plan meals like that - how do you go about it? i would like to do that for all of us as im a bit of a domestic slut

good afternoon all, snacks hmmmmm, i love pudding and plain chochlate. As I am bfing i have discovered Whittards plain chochlate cocoa shaped beans. I have a banana sliced on a rice cake no butter ( and i love BUTTTTTER) and so far 5 beans yummy or smoothie usually banana, greek yogurt and fat free milk.

fft · 05/01/2004 12:29

yes the menu thing is a good guide, dh and I on thursday do the menu for the week then shop via the net less temptation. Also means we don't spend time giving into to dd's sweet tooth to keep them happy when shopping (even though i make sure we go after meals and let them carry fruit bits). trying to buy seasonal also so I then end up spending time finding menu's which means me brains gets going and I am not idle to snaaack! Sleeping not too late is also a good one!

Hi girls , just wieghed again this morning , back to 9.5 , so still no loss since last week, but at least no gain. Was good yesterday ; sashimi & fish stew. Notice the "NO RICE ZONE". 100g of sashimi only 3 points. Hate to think what rice adds??

Am joining WW officialy this Thurs , to get all the up to date books etc.

LOL coddy at your suggestion of eating portions on a side plate. Will have to not pile it up!!!!

melsy · 05/01/2004 12:43

Snack queen here :

pickle cucumbers - no points
2 rice cakes - 0.5 points
carrots - no points
edamame (japanese soya beans in salt)- 1 point
saurkraut - 1 point

I know how virtuos , but I actually like these things!!!

I don't do snacks at all. That's how I have always ended up giving in so find it easier to not have any at all.

I also find that I have to plan in advance too. This is my plan for this Monday to Friday. I don't eat meat BTW:

Every day = half pint of semi skimmed milk allowed
Breakfast each day - Ready Brek or 2 slices of WW toast with flora light

Monday

Lunch - jacket potato with cottage cheese, no butter
Dinner - veg sausage, mash, veg and veg gravy

Tuesday

Lunch - seafood and salad
Dinner - Pasta with roasted vegetables and a tomato based sauce

Wednesday

Lunch - seafood and salad
Dinner - fishfingers, homemade oven baked chips, mushy peas and WW bread

Thursday

Lunch - egg salad
Dinner - fresh tuna steak, rice and vegetables

Friday

Lunch - ???
Dinner - cod fillet, jacek potato, vegetables

DH is doing same WW plan but has more points. He also eats meat and has large portions than me. For the time being we are only allowing ourselves alcohol at weekends. For drinks I have diet ones ( points) or tea/coffee - no more lattes though

I reckon M that you would be better off doing a more all or nothing diet - with the emphasis on ythe nothing!!!

If you miss the normal high fat food you could have one or two Point free ( ie dont count them) meals at the weekend ;like a roast and be really veggie all week..

whaddya think?

OP posts:
Hulababy · 05/01/2004 14:17

codswallop - I love fishfingers, sorry!!! Not very sophisticated. Even 21mo DD won't eat them! They are 1 point each by the way.

codswallop · 05/01/2004 14:18

Half fat creme fraiche is OK. 1 tablespoon is only 0.5 points!
