Rach's Weight Loss Diary

[blackwidow]

thanks everyone. my manager is back from holiday next week, and so i will be mentioning it then, and letting her know that if i dont feel it is dealt with satisfactorily that I will be going above her to my store manager to put in a formal complaint. I did tell numerous people on the counter about my situation - all people i trust completely, however I told no-one but my manager and my team leader when I would be in hospital and why.

good thing i am not in work now until saturday - need to cool down! did a full shop today for healthy things and have spent a whopping £56! LOL however i did get some LOVELY food in - swapped already back to points to accomodate the ready meal fish pie i fancied for tea:

B - 60g shreddies (3) 1/2pt soya light (1)
L - 2 thin slices gammon ham (1.5) lettuce, cucumber, tomato, beetroot (0) sainsburys fake mullerlight (1.5)
T - sainsburys bgty cumberland fish pie (6) jacket potato (2.5) broccoli (0)
S - 2 slices bread (1.5) tbsp pease pudding (1) 300g grapes (3) 2 tuc biscuits (1.5) mullerlight (1.5)

total: 24 / 23

one over - not bad for my first day back on the diet pleased with myself

tomorrows plan:

B - 2 sainsburys weetabix (1.5) 1/4pt soya light (0.5)
L - WW sausages in cider gravy w/ mash (5.5) broccoli and cauliflower (0)
T - quorn mince and dumplings (will point portion tomorrow) with jacket potato (2.5) broccoli, carrots and green beans (0)

total: 10 + tea

Ok I know Ill probably get battered for this But if youre going along the core route, have you ever considered SW?? The free food is incredible, much like Core but not restricted to just 3 meals a day

I keep thinking on it but I really like WW.. i know i've been saying pretty much since January that i'll give it a few more weeks, but especially with uni starting next week I just feel more comfortable with my points x



thanks everyone else well i managed pretty well yesterday - pleased with myself! Worked out the points for my mince and dumplings today - mortified at the nutritional values in suet - horrendous - something like 800kcal and almost 50g sat fat per 100g!

so.. todays plan:

B - 2 sainsburys weetabix (2) 1/4pt soya light (0.5)
L - ww sausages in cider gravy w/ mash (5.5) green beans and broccoli (0)
T - mince and dumplings made with 150g quorn mince (2.5) onion (0) 2 dumplings (4 dumplings made with 25g suet (6) and 50g flour (2.5) so 4.5) gravy granules (2) jacket potato (2.5) broccoli and carrots (0)
S - mullerlight (1.5) 200g grapes (2)

total: 23/23 points

shocking how much dumplings add up to, but fancied one so having with quorn mince instead of beef mince (not only better for me but cheaper as frozen quorn mince / quorn chicken style pieces are half price at work woohoo!)

 

[Curlz]

Hiya rach...just to let you know i used to buy the tesco value dumpling mix somat like 36p a pkt.
i made bigger ones used to get 6 and im sure they were only 1½points each..i will go have a look in my cupboard to see if i have a pkt and get back to you hun x

 

[pixiepiratess]

mmm another one having dumplins! .... yummy! .. they are expensive on points tho arnt they! ...
Ill have to have a trip for some quorn bits if its half price love a bargain!
Have a lovely day Rach xxxx

 

[blackwidow]

1.5points sounds much better per dumpling Fuzz i don't shop at tesco often as nearest is Kingston Park / Chester-le-street, but will be worth looking at sainsburys version to see if their points are similar cheers! xxx

 

[bear1982]
