    it was kinda dissapointing at 8pm at night a friend called up and asked me if i wanted to go out to dinner or dessert with him and I only had 2 points left. I told him he needs to call in advance so I can save points =P So we are going to applebees tonight... hopefully.... i still have 20 points left and probably 6 hours til dinner. =)
  • This thread should help you get some good ideas of what we typically eat for breakfasts, lunches, and snacks. Personally for lunch I enjoy bringing leftovers from the night before, keeps the sodium in my diet down (LCs are notorious for sodium, as are most frozen meals - but they are still a very handy tool).

    Breakfasts I like toast with pb or oatmeal with berries... Snacks are usually yogurt and/or fruit or a snack bar (Odwalla is my favorite brand) or crackers and pb...

    Tons of ideas Take a look around and see if anything appeals to you!

  • LeeAnne...

    Your wrap looks yummy! I love hummus and all the veggies, but I have to ask you about goat cheese, lol. The one time I ever had it was at a church function years ago. I think someone brought some fresh-made (off their farm or the farm of someone they knew). I decided to try it, but unfortunately, I couldn't stand it! To me, it tasted the way that goats smell, lol.

    So my question is this...So very, very many chefs & foodies love it. The WW cookbook I have has many recipes in it that call for goat cheese. I'd give it another try, but I'm very nervous my experience will be the same as it was before. Is there a particular brand that you'd recommend? Something very mild? I think even our Wal-Mart carries some. I'm open, but nervous, so need good recommendations.

    Thanks!
  • Jenn, I would just hop on board and buy something from your regular grocery store! I buy whatever brand is cheapest to be honest with you so I have no loyalty to one or the other. It's become my favourite kind of cheese and I use it as much as I can! It's especially good in a salad with strawberries, red grapes, red onion and balsamic vinegar.
  • So this is a confession... I weighed in this morning and was down 3 (and thrilled! only 4 away from my 1st ever stone now!!!) so afterwards i came home and had a piece of toast slathered with butter and jam, then i was hanging around in a shopping centre from 2 hours and was starving so I had a brioche muffin and tea with sugar, then my boyfriend bought me a gingerbread man with smarties on it as a congratulations! gah!
    but thats not the worst of it... the facts speak for themselves

    4 slices of takeaway pizza with cheese, pineapple and sweetcorn (i cant even guess the points)
    Half a large portion of chips (fries) (7)
    4 pieces of cheesy garlic bread (900000 points)
    1.5 cans of coke (3.5 ish)
    2 cafe noir biscuits (1 point each i think...)

    So now im drinking water hoping it will flush out all the fat. even though i was celebrating a loss i went way overboard, and now feel horrible both physically and mentally! so im not doing that again for a long time!!!

    SO heres my projected menu for tomorrow -

    Breakfast: Crunchy nut cornflakes (4) with skim milk (0.5)
    Lunch: Portion of my homemade veggie chili (3) with brown sauce (1)
    Dinner: no idea... either white rice and soy sauce (3) or ww microwave meal
    (4)
    Loads of fruit etc!
    Not going over 18 points...
