I bought a copy of the takeaway secret cookbook that has recipes for making meals just like takeaway shops and today I made spiced onions like the onion chutney/spiced onions you get in indian takeaways. I was eating it with crispbreads at 1 pro point each rather than popadoms but any ideas for anything with less points that I could munch it with?

The WW oat + wheat (or called something like that) crackers are 1pp for three?

Thanks namakemono, they sound perfect. I will hunt some down and get munching.

My local poundland has them, they seem to have the same things nationwide so definitely worth a look in there

I don't know what they are on propoints but in the old system plain popadoms, cooked in the microwave not fried, used to be 1/2 point. They were my crisp substitute

sorry i would check my packets but they are a job lot from Approved foods with no packets! :money:

(I would possibly guess that some things are -1pp for a multipack bar, I just pointed my Twirl from a multipack to be 5, so it could be right as it works for crisps too doesn't it?)

Thanks for that, I think I will have to print it off and keep it on my wall at work incase I am tempted.

How do you all cope when your points go down? I.e. mine have done from 41 to 39 and when I get to my 10% I will be on less... but I spend them all now and can't imagine life without them (it's only been 3 weigh ins and I'm worried already :rotfl:).

Also - where stocks the oval pizzas? There's none in my tesco, none in my sainsburys... do asda tend to have them? poundland? I really like them and can't find them anywhere :eek:

12lbs in 3 weeks, so I need to stick to this, I want my second 7 sticker and my 5%... 2.5lbs would get me that

Me again... did you know you can get weight watchers food on Amazon? not comparable to poundland (Where I get most of my ww food) but still ok prices and some is comparable with Tesco.
