Team 4 FAT FIGHTERS! :)

[WMBB]

Hey team well i thought to give you guys some inspiration i would post some of my recipes i try out and see if you want to have a go.

Todays Recipe:

Gnochhi, salmon and spinach bake. its very tastey and is only 4.5pts per portion.

Serves 4

Cost if ingredients bought in tesco: £4.25/£1.06 per portion



Ingredients:

• 500g fresh gnochhi (11pts)
• 100g of extra light cream cheese with herbs or plain if you prefer (3pts)
• 180g Can of skinless and boneless salmon (4pts)
• 2 tbsp tomato puree (0pts)
• chilli flakes/paste to taste. i use about a 1/4 teaspoon (0pts)
• spinache (0pts)
• lemon zest (0pts)

Total points: 18

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6
• Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, until cooked. (The gnocchi will float to the surface when they are ready.)

• in a large pan put the cream cheese ,tomto puree, chilli, lemon zest and enough water to make a sauce using all the above, keep heating to thicken to your own liking.
• add the spinach and stir until it wilts.

• add the gnochhi and salmon to the pan of sauce and stir til all is coated.
• Transfer the contents of the pan into an oven proof dish and baked in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden.

serve with salad

the book i got this from shows the nutritional info in the book for the recipe and if i didnt do this recipe ww style, it would cost a whopping 12.5pts per portion! so i have cut 2 thirds of the points off this recipe with out losing any taste

I should probably introduce myself properly now, im Kitty, 25 from Glossop, Derbyshire. I have been doing WW for 5 weeks now and lost 11 pounds. I have done it before and i know it works so thats why i came back to it after I have my kidney removed and put my weight back on whilst i was bed bound. But im all healthy now, sorting my life out and sorting my weight out! I weigh in on a Thursday night (will be wednesday this week as im going away to Aberdeen!). Hope to get to know all my team mates x

Hiya Kitty! 11 lbs is fab, well done! Its my WI tomorrow morning - Im nervous! Weight loss seems to have stalled somewhat lately - just cant seem to break the 14lbs barrier! fingers crossed Ive lost - got a feeling I'll stay the same this week tho!

oh i dont doubt that it doesnt affect actual weight loss just affects the scales reading in the morning due to undigested food not the fact u've put on/not lost etc

No problem, it may be different for different people but i certainly have better losses when i dont eat after 7ish

 

[size102b]

I feel better being incontrol of what I am eating as I wasnt,I didnt eat loads just junk or what I could grab quick,I dont feel sluggish as before and I think I have looked at it differently. Until tomorrow when the scales dont play lol nah
Hope your ok x

 

[WMBB]

OK just had my WI and Ive lost 1lb. Yay on points for the team, I cant help but feel disappointed tho, I was hoping to lose more and Ive been working out so hard last week.

Please insert your goal inbetween the blue brackets when copying and pasting

Also thought this months challenge could be to kept track of inch loss aswell as weight loss and see if theres a big difference?

Any other suggestions would be cool im not very good at thinking up challenges and stuff! XX

 

[Riotgrrrrl]

Inch loss idea is fab - although last week I only managed to lose a measly half inch from my right thigh - but total inch loss so far is nearly 20 inches from all over hurrah!
Maybe we could say how many inches we want to lose in April each, or how many from our waists, for example, then have an exercise challenge where we work out for a particular amount each week? or do a certain amount of tummy toning exercises? lol sorry to leap all over your idea xx
