I have 4 stone to lose too! We can do it!

 

[sue1963]

We can definitely do this. It's hard work though this dieting lol. Finding different things that are low in points is difficult as well. Think I need to get making free tomato soup. Need to get more tinned toms though before I can do that

Do u have a savoury or sweet tooth? X

 

[sue1963]

Savoury probably but do love chocolate. Try not to have it in the house though

Hi Serena - thanks for those ideas. I have to try and not have naughties because of the sugar content. Really struggling at the moment because for some reason I am constantly hungry, lol.

Have u tried the 0pp Soup? I found it really good before I could get my hunger under control! X

 

[NatNat1987]

Hi. Popping in to subscribe.

Well - have had PP's upped to 29 as I dont really like fruit and dont eat it except under sufferance

Breakfast
2 warburton wholemeal - 3
2 bacon - 3
1tbsp brown sauce - 0

Lunch
200g potato baked - 4
1 tin tuna - 1
1 tbsp full fat mayo - 3

Snack
Benefit bar - 2

Dinner
Fish pie (dont know how many points this is going to be as my son has decided to make it for me and him for dinner tonight, no-one else likes fish unless in breadcrumbs or batter, lol). He said he is putting basa and prawns in it but as long as I only have a bit of free veg should be ok. Still have 11 pps so hopefully this should be enough.

Extras - semi skimmed milk for tea - 2

Fish Pie sounds yummy! Do u know which sauce he will be making it with? 11pp sounds ok tho as the Ready Meal ones are normally quite low.x

 

[sue1963]

I think it'll be a colmans cheese sauce mix

Don't think those are too high in pp. 11pp should be fine as long as you keep you're portion sensible.x
