Looks great to me Tanya, and dont worry about the carbs, as long as you are not going over your PP, then it will be fine chick.

Good luck with WW, I am loving it since starting it on Wednesday.

 

[pinkyfluff]

Yep looks good. Keep up te good work.

your menu's look great to me too, but the one thing i will say is that my leader said you had to eat all you points allowance per day ie 29 pp for me.

Sx

 

[summergurl]

hmmm Yeah thats what i thought but going from what i eat now to that menu will be a massive change for me anyhow so im not too worried about that at the minute. Just wanted to make sure ive got all the principles right etc.

There will probably be snacks throughout the day that i havnt factored in - lf yogs and some more fruit so the yogs will add an extra coupla pp's.

Thanks for checking guys xxx

Absolutely fine stick to your ProPoints and you will do great x

You might want to check the points on your bread, alot are 2pp for 1 slice and 5pp for 2 slices.
Have a great week.

How does that work?!!!

 

[lolo]

There are no .5pp so they are either rounded up or down.
That means a slice of bread may actually be 2.4 points so it is rounded down to 2pp,but when you have 2 slices it is 4.8 points so that is rounded up to 5pp.
Hope that makes sense.

I know that make sense but I just keep it as 2pp for the bread I eat, each slice is 2 so I keep it like that
