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 at making healthy choices and eating much more fruit and veg.
Aldi have butternut squash on offer at the mo so i got loads of that for bns chips (which i am loving), and I've developed a really nice veggie chilli for 4pp a portion.
tonight i'm having quorn/red pepper/butternut squash fajitas - just off to point them up and see how many I can have cos they are lush.
How are you doing with everything? Had any finds?

THIS IS MY YEAR
Day 2 so far so good. bit hungry tho, not quite got the hang of the new plan yet
This is my 4th day and doing fine so far, I am just going to have a mini magnum or a solero to use up what points I have left for today, I think the weekend is going to be the worst,thank goodness for the 49pp I can use, I really fancy a chinese but will leave it till next weekend I think , it would be awful to loose nothing the first week 
Pointed up the fajitas - 7 pp each, was hoping for a bit less! But only cos i want 2 .
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 quorn bites)
tomato salsa
fajita seasoning
tbs 1/2 fat creme fraiche
roast the bns chunks for about 20 mins at 180C, until soft.
saute the onion and red pepper in a wok with frylite, then reserve in a dish.
season the quorn with fajita seasoning and wok fry in frylight for 7-8 mins, adding spoon of hot water if it is getting dry.
Add the bns/onion/red pepper and stir fry a further minute.
Heat each tortilla on a dry frying pan and put on plate
Add a quarter of the wok mixture
Add a tbsp salsa and tbsp of creme fraiche and roll up the wrap.
7 pp per fajita
serve with salad or savoury rice, depending on how many points you have left at the end of the day!
You can make the fajita filling earlier in the day and keep covered in the fridge to microwave later for dinner, so all you have to do then is heat the tortilla wrap.
But i didn't have this tonight as hubby texted that he was going for a drink after work, so will have it tomorrow. Tonight i had mushroom omelette, bns chips and peas with ketchup and mayo - yum (and a bargainous 7 points).
