[Vickie]

kind of off topic but WOW! Can't believe Hannah is 18months! Doesn't seem that long ago I was reading she'd arrived!

I slipped off the wagon last night. Had a stressful weekend and start to week and hubby decided I needed takeaway and alcohol.

I know she's a little girl now, no longer a baby!

Don't beat yourself up over it, one night isn't going to hurt. Saturday and Sunday I had part of a brownie

 

[DaisyDuke]

Aww how cute that she helps

[Vickie]

Well done Panda!

good here thanks cheeseface Still trying to decide on dinner, I know we're having steak, grilled tomatoes with pesto, baby bok choy and I need a carb for Hannah. Am thinking of crescent rolls as I'm not really in the mood to cook

hope you are well?

 

[cheeseface]

sounds lovely vickie, whats a crescent roll?
we had chicken pasta soup with veg it was lovely.

a crescent roll two points for one not great but not to bad either I suppose.

at using your points on snacks! the only problem I've found with that is that you're hungry pretty quickly after!!

 

[cheeseface]

il be better tomorrow i swear!

 

[Vickie]

the first week was hard for me learning to adjust, I still have some days where I just barely make it under my points for the day it adds up once you add in olive oil, margarine etc. even though we've cut a lot of it out......oh and I love ketchup which costs me a point for 1/4 cup

I'm sure you'll do better tomorrow

 

[Vickie]

Morning all! Hope you all are doing well

I decided to try oatmeal this morning and can't say I'm a fan don't think I'll go that route again

 

[nataliecn]

Here I am!! LOL.

Some of you know me, mind you I've been MIA for a while....
I'm Natalie, I've struggled with my weight for about 6 years now, and it's slowly and steadily been on the rise... After I had my son (10 months in 3 days!) I decided I had to do something about it. Been struggling, on and off while doing it.

I started again on Jan 1st, and so far I'm down 15.4 lbs, fingers crossed I keep having luck with it!

Good luck everyone!

 

[Vickie]

Natalie! Glad you joined in here

Well done on the weight loss so far!

And next time you come over we'll actually have healthy food

 

[princess_bump]

hey all, hope we're all well :wave:

welcome nataile and cheeseface

all well over here, though it's james birthday tomorrow so i've decided to WI tomorrow instead of friday as we're having a 'naughty' dinner tomorrow night and then chinese at mums friday night

i've just made a huge pot of 0point soup so i'm going to try to behave over the next few days! oh and we are going swimming tomorrow, so thats good i suppose!

 

[Vickie]

PB I was thinking of doing the same! We had planned to go out to eat for my birthday Saturday and weigh in day is Sunday morning

 

[nataliecn]

I know I'm bad - I don't wanna read 15 pages...
Just figured I'd put out some of the things I find that help.

GUM GUM GUM! I always have fruity gum with me, so that if i get a weird craving I just have some gum and 9 times out of 10 it goes away!

Also, for the popcorn lovers out there, Kernels popcorn seasonings are 0 for 1TBSP... Which is a godsend to me! I am a dill pickle chip lover, and I put the dill pickle flavour on there and it tastes like I'm eating chips, but I'm not!

Also with dill pickle theme! It's the perfect snack to cut a salt craving! For me anyways! They're like 3 calories per pickle! I eat so many pickles it's not even funny! LOL.

For those who love spaghetti, and the family enjoys eating it lots! We eat spaghetti squash a lot around here! It's no points, gives you a serving of vegetables and honestly does taste like spaghetti, it's just a little "crunchy" so more like al dente pasta!!

 

[Vickie]

will have to look those up Nat! I haven't tried any of the 0 points recipes yet

We're trying to do turkey burgers tonight with butternut squash fries, hopefully it will turn out

for lunch I had a bbq chicken wrap, with the chicken, cheese, tortilla and bbq sauce it was 5.5 points! Really good and quite filling

 

[nataliecn]

See I struggle with my points. I find it so hard to eat a huge amount on a meal. Last night I had 10 points left after dinner! LOL.

This morning I had yogurt, and a pear for breakfast. And then my coffee with a bit of milk and sweetner.
For lunch I had a cup-a-soup, and a salad with a hardboiled egg, a bit of shredded cheese, and 3-cheese ranch dressing! Was yuuummy!

And tonight we are having baked chicken with dijon and lime! It's a recipe I found on the internet, so we'll see how that works! We haven't really found any recipes we haven't enjoyed yet!

 

[nataliecn]

Vickie - I live off the garden veg soup! I have only tried the original one so far, but I find it's the perfect thing for me if I am really hungry and need something between lunch and dinner! It's really yummy, and then again, a serving of veg, and no points! And if I'm having a higher point lunch, that isn't the most filling of things, I'll have the soup as well so I'm more full, but without adding!
You should really try it!

 

[Babydance]

hello ladies sorry to butt in, besides your points im just wondering how many calories you consume in relation to weight? (dont tell me youre weight if youre not comfortable!)

my points really vary day to day, some days I come close to using them all and some days I seem to have loads left over

for the spaghetti squash is that a WW recipes you found online? I did a quick search earlier but wasn't sure if I found the right thing.

and I'll have a look at the soups! We're going shopping this weekend so I can pick up any missing ingredients

Sorry babydance I have no idea how many calories I take in, I go by the points values alone
