Welcome Loopi and Serina!

I'm currently baking Apple Carrot Muffins! They are 1pt each, and I found them on a Weight Watchers Recipe blog that I look at quite a bit!
They smell sooo yummy, can't wait to test them out! They'll be perfect for Grady too I think! Have applesauce, grated carrot and diced apples in them!

Gonna make sweet potato ones later today possibly! They sound yummy too!



Oh, and remember the cake I mentionned with adding a can of pop? Apparently another good one is added a can of pumpkin! NOT pumpkin pie filling, just plain pureed pumpkin! And just the pumpkin! Same points as the box mix, because it's a veg! So usually 2pts per cupcake, AND you're sneaking a veg in there for picky people (like andrew who only eats like 3 vegetables! LOL)

 

[Vickie]

mmm those muffins sound good, I wonder if Hannah would like them?

I've never heard of doing a cake with pumpkin but have heard of using applesauce instead

15 points is mega hard going.
Cooney-Yes your right. Im allowed 18 but the leader told me to drop to 15 points to speed up my weight loss.
I went to the docs today (about something else) and she weighed me and told me i must eat all my 18 points or i wont lose and to carry on having my cheat meal
Hope your all ok xx

 

[Vickie]

Glad you went to the doctor pinky!! And I'm glad she went against your instructor because that just didn't sound healthy

Muffin were good - seemed a little sticky though. Next time I won't use the paper muffin cups, as the paper seems to stick a bit, next time will just cook in the pan!

Also made sweet potato muffins, NOT so good. but I think that's because I messed up how much sweetner to put in! hahah! Oops!

Hiya Loopi and Serina!

I was off plan for 3/4 weeks and I forgot what points near enough everything was - except eggs and bananas lol.

Not expecting lots gone tomorrow - scales don't seem to be shifting much so 2lbs will please me!

[nataliecn]

Rainbow sorry I can't be of any help. Have you tried googling it? sometimes I find points on there, of course not sure exactly how accurate that is

[nataliecn]

Hello RainbowMum

Hope this helps

Does everything always get measured by weight in the UK version??
We measure our fruits and veggies usually by 1cup. Or atleast I do!

 

[Vickie]

Morning all! Hope everyone is okay today

I don't know that I've measured fruit Nat but I generally eat apples so no need to measure those
