....delly, have you any tips for the most WW-friendly rice? Do you weigh it? Do you have kidney beans in your chili?

the rice I use is Tesco Basmati (Value of course). It's the lowest GI rice other than wholegrain and I use it because I don't have time to steam rice for 20 + minutes to make it edible... :rolleyes:. Yes, I do weigh all portions of rice. I know that 60g uncooked weight is 3 points (but need to double check) but I almost always have 75g instead to make sure I don't get too hungry. And no - I don't use kidney beans but only because I don't like them - I use baked beans. Along with some cinnamon and cloves it gives the chilli a lovely flavour.

ajax and bails - a case of dehli belly is totally different to dellybelly lol. I don't think anyone would want to try using my method of getting a flatter tummy - it involves getting sliced and diced and usually ends up giving you an overhang!:rotfl:

... do you know off hand the points value for a bag of Tesco Steam Rice, the ones which comes frozen, 4 little bags to a packet? Those are invaluable to me at work as I can microwave them quickly and without hassle.

I think I'm gonna cope with this plan, as long as it actually removes the weight........ it would be disappointing to stay within daily points and not lose

rest assured Ajax I've been counting points since Monday of last week and have lost 2.5lbs. I've only weighed in today instead of yesterday because I wanted to use Tuesday as my regular weigh in day. I know Lois posts the chart on a Wednesday, but it's not always easy for me to post my weight before the chart gets posted.

so Lois 2.5lbs off for me this week! Not bad for a first week and not really trying over the weekend.

Sorry Ajax not offhand - no chance you have the cals and sat fat per portion handy?

...now that's nice and encouraging delly, well done. I wish I had better scales at home now... my electronic ones only go up (well, hopefully down) in whole pounds.

.... no but I have that info at home and the points calculator so will be ok. In between samples here I'm just trying to decide my meal plan for tomorrow, hence asking. x

..... wanna buy my 2lb gain?

Ooh, I'll tell you what.... I've just had me dindins and so far have used only 9.5 of my 29 points WW allowance. I think I'm gonna cope with this plan, as long as it actually removes the weight........ it would be disappointing to stay within daily points and not lose

Well, I would take it off your hands but I got a 3lb gain going on myself, don't think I could handle 5!!

Points sound like they're working for you, and judging by other people's posts looks like a good move. In which case, you can definitely keep your 2 lb mate!:D
