Arrrrrgggggghhhhh was on a course today so had to have lunch there! Now I dont know what to have for tea as not sure how to point my lunch.

Can anyone help. I had the vege option at lunch which was pasta with courgette and tomato etc, in a sweet pepper sauce with a little parmasean, sauce seemed a little oily? Then some salad stuff which has some kind of dressing on. It wasnt a massive portion and I asked for less. Im thinking of guessing 10 points but have no idea.

On the plus side I lost 2.5 pounds this week. Thats 29 pounds now in total!! yey!!

How do you work out the points on HM food? Do you have to weigh everything??

Yep. I cook all my food from scratch, always have done so it would be strange for me to start eating ready meals. The only thing I do differently now is prepare and point all the ingredients before I start to cook and then chuck everything in the pan as usual. When I dish it up I then portion it for the no. of pts I want to eat then serve the rest to the family, no seperate meals in this house. It takes an extra a couple of minutes when making dinner but it's worth it. A notebook and my WW scales are now a permanent feature in my kitchen.

Tonight we've just had Italian Stew with Borlotti Beans & Sausage which was very yummy.

Well done on your loss this week:T

As for lunch I would say you're probably about right

Pasta Sauce 2-3pts
Lg Portion Pasta 3-5pts
Parmesan 1-2pts
Salad Dressing 1-2pts

So somewhere between 7-12pts so 10 seems reasonable to me.

Hi everyone, I'm still here ....... just !

Having a pretty bad week, bit out of sorts with it all as I've just finished work to become a SAHM :T and I'm still getting used to it !

Had a leaving lunch on Weds so food not very good that day and today I can't seem to leave the biscuits alone :eek: ! I've had 3 so not an extreme amount but enough to put me over my points. :mad:

We've got a meal out this coming Sunday (me and DH) - I won a competition for a meal for 2 at a posh restaurant :j ! Great but not great for the diet but I'm going to enjoy myself because we'd never be able to afford to eat somewhere like that usually.

Another meal out next Tuesday but I've already chosen (crab salad and fruit salad for dessert) so there's no going back on that one and I chose sensibly while I had the willpower !

First post is all updated with newcomers (hello and welcome !) and weight losses - some great losses recently ! Well done :T. If I've missed anyone then please accept my apologies and shout at me in BIG RED LETTERS !

I shall add Mrs Toast shortly .

Tomorrows activity is to do a week long mealplan as I've fallen off the wagon there a bit lately and I need to get organised so that I'm not panicking about what to cook. Then, if the weather is good, I might go for a nice walk along the beach (10 mins walk from our house ).

Now i've finished work I'll be able to keep up with you all properly .

Back in a bit :beer: (water not beer !!!! )
