    oh dear 2lb gain this week but was totally worth it.

    Just a few hours ago i was sitting on skeggy seafront eating proper chips and mushy peas. Been away for the weekend, drinking wine, eating doughnuts and eating a massive (and i mean massive) carvery roast diner. Gonna go straight back on it tomorrow though x

    can't beat a bit of fish n' chips at skeggy beach!

    wish i could go today lol

    How did everyone do- weigh in for me tonight.

    Should have a reasonable loss this week as have been very good (less than 10 syns per day) and have even done some exercise (wow!)

    What is super soup Fly Dragon Fly? HAve you already posted a recipe for this or was it a different soup? :)

    hey

    i gained one but i was expecting 5lb gain so 1 is brillant haha

    super soup is posted on the second page i'd say of this actual thread.

    its my fall back on soup if i've gained stupid on sunday ( as i had this weekend)

    i'd gone from 12 on the dot to 12 5lbs! so i made super soup and ate it for dinner monday and tuesday :)

    super soup is basicly a mix of super foods cooked and blended :) x

    Speed food Soup (syn free on Green and EE)

    1 can mixed bean salad
    1 can green lentils
    2 cans chopped tomatoes
    1 can bake beans
    Handful of split lentils
    2 large leeks
    1 large onion
    4 medium carrots
    2 parsnips
    1 each green, red and yellow peppers
    2 vegetable stock cubes
    Salt pepper
    Mixed herbs
    Water (enough to cover all ingredients)

    Chop all vegetables. Put them and everything else into a large pan, cover with water, bring to boil and simmer until vegetables are soft (about 30 mins). Once cooked, the soup can be left chunky or blended smooth.

    This makes about 6 pints of delicious soup but if you don't possess a humungous pan, it might be safer to halve the recipe :)

    i blended it and it flew around my room twice but after that it was lovely :)


    Found the recipe :)

    There is also a vegeatble and lentil one on the SW website that I might give a go. Having that for a few lunches should see be get a pound or two off next week :) Anyhoo, first things first- weigh in tonight and see what I've done this week! :D

    I've made a strawberry mousse for tonight (recipe on SW website in recipe archive 1.5 syns per serving) will have it with some strawberries and some cream (Anchor light squirty cream= 1/2 syn per tbsp, or 1 syn 12.5g- enough to go with strawberries and mousse!) so looking forward to that :p
    BTW- this mousse was lovely! At 1.5 syns per portion (without adding the squirty cream liek I did!) it is a very tasty way to get a dessert while not using very many syns. This will be made again tonight!

    Because this was so nice I tried the chocolate cake recipe from the recipe archive. All I can say is: DON't BOTHER! Bleurgh! :p
