  • Hi Mauv:

    Today I am having toasted tomatoe & cheese with lettuce & mayo on dempster caraway bread & cup of soup with melba toast & a little becel. Total = 6 pts.

    Brought 2 pt pudding for my afternoon snack.

    :-)
  • What is becel? Today I am having:

    Light bun with a grilled chicken breast, with lettuce and tomatoes, and a nectarine for dessert. (5 pts)

    yesterday I had a Mc Donald's hot fudge sundae...
    (9 pts) But it was hot, what I was craving and I counted the points for it!

    Have a great day!

    Start at WW: 209#
    Today 152#
  • Becel is the brand name of a margarine spread

    Mmmmm...hot fudge sundae

    Bandit-what brand of pudding do you buy?
  • I buy Jello FF vanilla with caramel. Comes in a 6 pack in the refrigerated section near the cheese. 2 Pts each & very yummy.
    I also buy the chocolate healthy choice (in regular pudding section)
  • Thanks Bandit! I love the Healthy Choice chocolate and since my DH doesn't like it I get it all to myself!

    I'm a firm believer that the occasional hot fudge sundae will not only not kill me but allow me to keep on plan. I replace supper with it and do count the points. I'm a Baskin and Robbins person myself.
  • Hey all! Last night I made angel hair pasta with a little olive oil, fresh tomaotes, green pepper, chicken breast, and garlic. Very yummy! Then I made a small margarita?!?! It was soo hot-I had to have it! Keep the great ideas coming and bon-appetite!
  • I have had a terrible, stressful week and have been completely off plan -I barely ate anything on Monday, yesterday I had a chocolate bar and a cup of tea for lunch and then a McChicken sandwich meal and diet coke for dinner at midnight I think this week is a write off since there is just too much going on right now.

    I am going grocery shopping on Saturday am to stock up on healthy foods and pick up a few of the items you have suggested for lunches next week.

    Back OP on Saturday!
  • Sometimes you just need a break...but get back on program before it gets too out of control. I know you can do it! Best of luck and keep in touch!

    Sometimes Life Happens and well good intensions don't work. I find that the longer I wait after one of those Life Moments the more excuses I can make for never getting back on plan. The best thing for me (even if I'm busy) is to just start again the next day. On a really busy week that can mean frozen dinners or cold cut and bread lunches because there just isn't any time for something more fancy.

    Good luck.
  • Thanks for the support Ideal and Ala!
  • For lunch today I am having a turkey and Swiss sandwich on light bread with some fruit. (about 5 points)

    For supper tonight I am planning on broiled fish with pasta salad. (about 10 points)

    Have a great weekend!
  • Hi everyone:

    Today I am having Lean Cuisine canneloni (5 Pts) with melba toast (4 slices = 1 Pt) and becel .5 Total 6.5

    Mauv - you gotta get a microwave!

    Over the weekend, I had salad with fresh shrimp on it and some light Italian dressing (12 medium shrimp = 1 Pt) and that is alot of shrimp. So with dressing it is still a really low point lunch and really good & filling.

    Hope everyone has a "nice lunch" :-)
  • Hi everyone:

    Today I am having a boca burger on caraway toast with lettuce & tomatoe (total of 3 Pts) with cup of soup (1 Pt) and have a peach for later. Total 5 Pts.

    How about you??
  • Hmmmm... I am having to rethink my meal choices with regard to the flex points- I think I need to be eating more for breakfast and lunch and a smaller dinner.

    Just have to sort myself out
