Has anyone been able to make this with a stick blender, that's the only type i got!

I had seafood yesterday which worked out about 2pp per 100g so not too bad, imagine cockles would be the same.

I do mine with quorn chicken bites instead of chicken, plus a dollop of half fat creme fraiche and it works out at 7pp.

Cut bns into chips or wedges (fairly thick, like oven chips rather than fries as they shrink a bit in cooking. Preheat oven at 180. Spray with frylight and season, place on baking tray. Turn occasionally. Takes about 30 mins. As for seasoning I use schwarz cajun spice mix/shaker to make...

Mushroom omelettes (2 eggs, frylight) - 4pp BNS chips with everything! Quorn fajitas (using discovery kit, add a dollop of fat-free greek yoghurt) - 7pp each veggie chilli (use quorn mince and some lentils) - 4pp a portion Stir-frys are good - add quorn steak strips for a bit of protein...

Good luck Lisa and great loss bunny! I lost 2 lb, which is ok but was expecting more as this is over 2 weeks rather than 1, due to last weeks meeting not being on. BUT it meant I hit my 5% so that has spurred me on. And makes 8 and a half pounds off in exactly 4 weeks, which is pretty...

Well done, that's brilliant!

Hope everyone's weigh-in went ok. I didn't get to have one as I turned up at the advertised meeting and no-one was there and community centre was closed! So that is very mysterious, am hoping it was because of half term and will be on next week. According to the wii fit I am 12 stone 7, but...

I've been pretty rubbish the last few days too. And today was dreadful as the day before payday and I am broke with only bread and oven chips in the house! No fruit and only peas for veg. So eaten far too much bread which always makes me gain quickly. Started off the week so well and then by...

Good luck Lisa! I'm feeling more confident this week though was quite naughty last night (booze and biscuits - guest brought them into the house, aaaargh!). Must be ultra good today even though the hangover is telling me to stuff my face with toast. :o

I always eat a banana first thing - fills you up for 0pp, and so not being too hungry then helps with portion control for your "proper" breakfast. A poached egg or egg fried in frylight along with some mushrooms fried in frylight is only 2pp and very filling! And that along with your banana...

Yes they are 0pp when done with frylight. Happy days :D Cajun seasoning might have a point for anything over a tbsp though, not sure. The schwarts cajun spices for potato is sooooo good on bns though. I got one of those mesh trays from poundland to cook bns chips on, it seems to crisp them up...

Any tuesday weighers want to join in here? Can't seem to see a tuesday thread unless i'm blind! I'm in my 3rd week of ww, lost half a pound first week, 6 pound the next and sts last week (valentines naughtiness). Looking for a good loss next week. My last weigh in was a thursday but am...

Well done ladies! I'm off to join the tuesday thread though as I have been made to feel very unwelcome at my thursday meeting (my daughter has been very noisy and disruptive - good as gold everywhere else but at ww she goes mad!). Wasn't going to attempt to stay for any more leader talks...

Well done scottish lass, that's a great loss! I managed to pull off a sts, so quite satisfied seeing as I was a complete pig at the weekend and only had 3 days to try and repair the damage. This week I shall stay on track and focus on a good motivating loss for next week.

Well, more specifically the tesco cheapo version of petit filou mini-yoghurts. Crazy sweet craving and nothing in the house except for daughter's snacks!

Good luck for tomorrow all!

If only I could keep a jar of chocolate spread in the house without dipping into it every 5 minutes :D

Yes, bns is free too, and chips made form them are sooooo tasty! If anyone is interested, Poundland are selling mesh baking trays. They are intended to make oven chips extra crispy and cook quickly so I have been using them with bns chips to make them slightly crispier.

I had such a bad weekend eating-wise (alcohol, fry-ups, double decker chocolate bar :o). Hopefully being good monday, tuesday and wednesday will limit the damage a little, but really the most I can hope for is a STS. So silly of me after a good loss last week. Did half hour on the wii...

Do you have a link to the item at all? I can't seem to find anything called a magic wand apart from that epicare hand epilator thing (got one of those, don't get on with it).

Lordy, I would have thought so too. How much percentage alcohol is it? I hadn't really considered ww wine as I assumed it would be a bit light in the alcohol department - am I wrong? Average bottle is about 12%.

If the sandwiches are "lovely" then i doubt they're using low-fat mayo :D. So i would point that at 3. 1 point for sweetcorn if that's involved too ;) and the butter/marg again probably not the lower fat variety and a bit more generous than the scrapings we allow ourselves! So I would point...

Some great losses from Bindi and flab2fab. Lots of people say the weightloss is better if you eat all your 29 points irishlady - I had on average about 33 a day x

I asked about laser on the nhs and was also told it wasn't available. Can I just ask if anyone has had any luck with hair removal cream and if so what brand? I have tried it but it doesn't seem to work on my facial hair, yet it works on the hair on my legs! Why on earth is this?

OMG, I lost 6 pounds! Very happy bunny. Only lost half a pound last week (my first week on ww) because I was naughty, so have made up for it now thank goodness. I didn't use all my 49 weekly points. probably used about 15 of them, so was expecting maybe 3 pounds off - madly chuffed with 6...

Good luck for today everyone. Am feeling confident, though I was a wee bit naughty last night. Had my dinner in the oven and hubby came home with a bottle of vodka - so I gave him my dinner and had a few drinks instead. :o Here's hoping it doesn't turn into extra poundage until after the...

Oooh thanks for this, risotto is my favourite ever thing but I'm so used to adding shedloads of butter and cheese I haven't dared think about making it since starting pp. Will give this recipe a go!

I make a vegetable mash to go with quorn sausages for a low point bangers n mash. Or use it as the topping on a shepherds pie made with quorn mince. Use 1 potato, the same amount of swede and some bns if you have some. Makes a really tasty mash and much lower points than if you just used potato.

I'm having them for dinner tonight and have pointed them at 7pp each. Broken down: tortilla wrap - 4 quorn chicken pieces - 1 salsa - 0 red pepper - 0 onion bns chunks - 0 dollop of half fat creme fraiche - 1/2 Didn't point the seasoning tho, but think it would be less than a point per fajita.

What did people do before the internet!

Celeriac is 0 pp so thought I'd experiment making chips from it, following on from my bns chips joy. :D My version of them turned out quite well - did bns and celeriac chips so that in one dish I am getting 2 of my 5 a day. I used frylight and one pp of olive oil, so 1 pp for a big plate of...

I think the minimum daily allowance is 29 pp Tracy, you will probably be on that. Plus you have an extra 49pp weekly allowance (jury is out on whether you can still use all 49 points and still lose weight though!)

Pointed up the fajitas - 7 pp each, was hoping for a bit less! But only cos i want 2 :o. The tortilla wrap is the main culprit at 4pp. recipe as follows (serves 4): 4 tortilla wraps 175g of quorn chicken pieces 1 chopped onion 1 chopped red pepper 100g of bns (cut to chunks same size as...

Are butterbuds nice? I've thought about getting them but worried they'll taste a bit synthetic?

Hi Tori, I'm on my second week and finding it tough! Only lost half a pound on thursday due to having drinks and pizza at the weekend, but am determined to put that behind me and focus now. I am really happy that minimilks are only 1pp and curly wurlys are 3pp! But am generally getting better...

Yes, I was rather relieved i didn't gain on my first WI :D. My friend gained half a pound though, we both felt very silly. :o Glad to see you got back on track though irishlady - I'll try not to use too many of my 49 extras this week!

Hello everybody, I had my first weigh in today and lost half a pound. Completely useless! I was doing well until the saturday when I convinced myself I could have a few vodkas from my 49 propoints weekly allowance, then I lost track and got drunk and ate a whole pizza. The next 2 days i felt...
