My first going away while on TF - looking for help

happy_chappy — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:54:51 GMT

I'm going away next week for the first time while on TF and a bit concerned. My friend who I'm going with is overweight thinks dieting is a load of crap, so she doesn't actually know I'm on TF, and doesn't mention the fact that I've lost weight.

Anyway my problem being is that I'm concerned how to stay on track while away - mind you it's only for 3 days. I don't intend taking any shakes with me as I don't want to listen to her opinions on the subject whenever I have one.

Wondering if I just focus on low GI foods or does someone else have any ideas. We will be eating breakfast in the unit but out for lunch and dinner.

I will "not be a happy chappy" if I undo all my good work.

This is a link for the Nutritional info of Subway.

The salad dressings to have would be Mayo or Ranch, although only a little due to fat content.

Hope this helps some people.

Remember salad only, no subs or wraps.

Eating out tonight for my sister's 30th

Danielle:) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:25:31 GMT

Hmmm....Going out for a pub meal tonight but i really don't want to fall off the wagon! The week just gone i had been really naughty and it had taken so much for me to get my motivation back to stick to the plan! that and ~~Mountain-Maiden~~ has helped me ALOT!!!!

i have no choice but to go but i know that if i stumble it will be very difficult to get back on again!!! i guess you could say im a little scared...

Im thinking that if i have to have a meal that isnt the bast thing ever, i should stick to chicken?

Im thinking chicken without the added sauces!!! and salade or veges instead of the chips. To drink i have to have something diet but im sure they dont sell anything low calorie at the pub...Lol Does anyone have any tricks or hints on this?

Oh and my Mum is taking a huge mud cake slab that she has orderd from the Cheese cake shop! MMMMMmmmmm YUMO!!!!! i really need to be strong!

KFC Cayan Grill

lanuitsansfin — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 23:51:15 GMT

i just had a look at http://www.kfc.com.au/pdf/cayan-nutritional-information.pdf and checked out the fat, protein and carb content of the new KFC Cayan Grill chicken fillets - it looks TF friendly to me? a friend had some on the weekend and i tried a bit and it was reeeeally nice (i thought) so i was thinking i could get some of this every now and then and add it to my own salad?

what do people think? any objections? have i missed something that means it doesn't fit?

thanks :)

Takeaway ideas

angie72 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 17:01:52 GMT

Hi everyone,

Any ideas on what I can have as a take away for tea, I broke my little toe this morning and I could not stand for that long and cook something, hubbys woking a little bit late and said he would pick something up on the way home, what can I have, we have everything around here, so there is not a limited choice, but because Im restricted to one spot Im cold and feel like something hot and nice (If you know what I mean)

Any suggestions would be great

Thanks in advance

Hokka Hokka

**ThinkingSlim** — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:10:33 GMT

So I just had some of a soy vanilla shake and almost gagged! It tasted like striaght pancake mix!

So, instead of opening another shake and only drinking some of it - was wondering what Hokka Hokka would be like.

I was going to have a noodle box - but with no meat or noodles. So basically just stir-fried vegies and terriyaki sauce.

What do you think... would this be ok?

Cairns

Nessie Mae — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 00:45:55 GMT

Hi everyone,
I am going out for dinner with my man on Saturday night, and was just wondering if there is anyone on here in Cairns that can tell me of any good restaurants to try out. We haven't really eaten out in Cairns as we live in Port Douglas and have a 5 year old, so it is not easy to get there. So if there is anyone in Cairns, please let me know where is good for a nice dinner...................

Ps, has to be a really nice place as it is very rare for us to get a night together and we are celebrating his 30th birthday......................

Stir Crazy!

MakeIThappen — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:42:33 GMT

Hey guys,

I seem to have a dilemma. I'm going out to Thai with my partner tonight and then we are off to the movies.

I'm not tempted to eat popcorn or anything at the movies. I've made some jelly snakes to take it.

I'm not exactly sure what to have when we go out for Thai though. I was thinking of just getting some meat and vegetables with no noodles of course.

What sauces am I allowed to have?

Drinks

dramaqueen — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:48:04 GMT

I'm going out for drinks tomorrow night and wondered what the best TF option is, not really sure what has the least carb/sugar etc, i tend to only drink water and the odd Pepsi Light on the program. Anyways thanks for your help in advance. :D

Chicken grilled by 'oporto'

Bonnie Lassie — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 18:13:19 GMT

We have a new chicken place opened in Rutherford, near Maitland, NSW. It is all fresh chicken, grilled (not fried), so that is a bonus. I thought I would go there on the way home to see if there was anything that I could have on the TFWP. I picked up a Nutritional Information leaflet from them and also bought the 'Strip Pack' (4 strips) for $7.00 (had 3 strips to make up protein) and salad with it at home. I got asked if I was on the weight watchers program and using points (I don't know a thing about that) and to ask if I wanted to know anything. I would say that they are weightloss friendly, at least the lady I talked to was.

The taste was lovely, :Wow: try it. My husband had the final strip. :crying:

Strip Pack (100g)

Energy(k) 655, Energy (cal) 156, Protein (g) 22.3, Fat Total (g) 7.0,(- saturated 1.9, trans <0.1, polyunsaturated 2.7, monounsaturated 2.4), Carbohydrate 1.1, Sugars 0.2, Sodium (mg) 255. Slightly more on the serving size.

I hope this was ok to have.

They also have salads (can be made to your liking) and chicken pieces (with or without skin).

Go to www.oporto.com.au for more info.

Grill'd is ok Too

Rochelle — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:51:03 GMT
