Thread: Weight watchers ready meals

Hi

Just wanted to know what are ww ready meals like are they worth buying was thinking about getting some to put in the freezer for quickness sometimes . Did not want to get some if they was not very good.

Thanks

I don't think ready meals are ever very good Bethany, maybe just get some for the freezer for emergencies??? I always prefer something freshly prepared - no artificial wotsits then!!

Thanks Karen

I wont bother much I will just get a couple in for same as you say

Seconded. Although for an emergancy when the alternative would be something with mega points they are certainly edible! LOL Can I suggest the Thia Chicken or Beef Hotpot as they arnt too bad. Hope your first meeting goes well. Let us know how you get on

Hi Bethany,

I would completley agree with Karen - ready meals are'nt great regarding additives etc.. but to be honest I LOVE them - it depends how much time you have on your hands really - I dont have much, I love the ocean pie (3 1/2 points)... so quick and easy. I would generally have it with half a can of weight watchers spaghetti and about 4 fishfingers (lovely meal totaling 9 points) its really up to yourself though.. we're all different

Best of luck chick xx

Hi Pinkdiamond

I went to my first meeting last night and it was not too bad at all really enjoyed it there was some people there who i knew and i sat with one the leader is nice she let me borrow the new black food scales to see how i like them i take them back next week.
They are really good also got a points calculator thats really good .
Its just getting into it today ive had my tea and got 6 .5 points left over dont know wether ive eaten enough or not
Is the ww Lasagne ok as i like lasagne

Thanks Nikki
I like ocean pie it would go nice with some garden peas and maybe some parsley sauce

Hi guys.

I'm on CD and have to say that reading this thread just made me very hungry!

Weight loss programmes have the same effect - they all feature so much FOOD. When Gillian Mckeith's show displays the table spread with one week's goodies we're supposed to go, ugh, no! How disgusting. I look at the yummy stuff and think, mmm. Okay, the quantities might be a bit over the top, but the actual food?

Sigh.

G McK would do my head in on a daily basis. The way she talks to people! I know it's partly a showbiz/image thing but she is way too bossy.

Good luck!

Hi Bethany,

Yep the lasagne is fine, quite a small portion though The scales are well worth the money, I bought some and I use then all the time. Good luck with the points, remember to use your points by the end of the week because under using can actually slow your weight loss down, due to your metabolism slowing down. xx

PMSL - me tooooo!! I love that table of junk food - that's my idea of heaven!!!

I dont particularly like WW meals I dont buy them. I much prefer Tescos Healthy Option Range. They taste better and have much better sized portions AND the WW points are on the back of the packet

Still having 6.5 points at this time of evening is great, youll be able to have something nice this evening too

Thanks Starlight
I will try some healthy living range with having 6.5 points left did not think i had eaten enough during the day will it be ok to have all my 6.5 points tonight and it wont stop me from losing.
Sorry for asking its just getting used to it

If the 6.5 you have left takes you to your total for the day you can eat them all tonight.

6.5 gives you loads of options, wine and crisps, chocolate, a sandwich... loads Or you can save a few if you want something like a take away at the weekend. Remember dont save any more than 4 so you need to have at least 2.5 more before bedtime.

CAN I JUST SAY -

the fresh tikka curry from the fridges are better then frozon ones - you can freeze them to - which is more money but loads more in it and better!

and w.w derrest are very good aswell! x

Oh WW desserts are the business. I love them!! I have a freezer drawer full of them
