The chilli sounds lovely - was it from a WW mag or is it your own recipe - if so how do you work out the PP?

many thanks - your diary is very encouraging and just what i need to do to start all over again!

Hey!! No worries. I have recently lost over 3 stone through 1200 cal diet over several months but now the bulk has gone I'm happy to do the rest slowly and sensibly! It is hard but this way is def the best as a little bit co what you fancy is ok!! I eat my biggest meal at breakfast every day it stops me from snacking and keeps me really alert at work which is the most important thing.
The chilli is my own recipe, all ingredients except for kidney beans and quorn have 0pp as they are veg/spices. I weighed the mince and saw in the book I got at the meeting that 100g = 3pp the weight of my quorn was 200g and I so I just timed by 2. I looked up how many pro points in a can of the kidney beans I was using and it was 10pp so with the free veg, the whole lot came to 16pp which I will be sharing with my mum for tea. The chilli took no time at all to prepare and I am really looking forward to having it for dinner. I only cook properly once or twice a week. Next week I am going to try making a ww curry. I don't feel like I need the rice on the side but maybe that is because I have been so strict with myself on the diet I was on previous to this?? Thanks for the kind words anyway and let me know how you are getting on x x x ps. I am a total one trick pony with my breakfast and lunch, so sorry if those updates are slightly boring and repetitive!!

aint it funny how wem all dif i do without bfast because i dont need it i gt pekish around half 10 ( school break time) and i have a piece of fruit then go til half 12 which is lunch!
if i do have bfast i gt hungrier thruout the day!!!
so id rather not waste points

ur chilli sounds lush

i learnt how to make the tastiest spag bol from my mum and its not that many points either and takes no time at all!
another reason why cooking from scratch is good x

i only use weekly points for wine... Happy to be good on menu choices whilst eating out but need wine to compensate!!! Going out for a friends birthday tonight to a restaurant famous for their gourmet burgers.. I have already told everyone in the party when they've asked me what I'm having that I am gonna eat a salad so even if I fancy a burger I don't want them thinking she's lost her will power, so I'm having a salad whether I like it or not! I've found that telling people what I'm doing n this journey has really helped because if I do cave at any point I am not only letting myself down yknow. Have a good weekend anyway x
