    Plenty of veg in them! Toms, mushrooms, celery, peppers etc You'd be surprised how much veg you can fit into meals like this! I even grate carrots in my spag bols (kids won't eat them otherwise!)

    Morning All,

    Had a very strange bank holiday weekend!

    Saturday it was my 1st wedding anniversary! Can't believe it has been a whole year!

    And to think 1 year ago i was nearly 2st lighter:eek:

    Bearing in mind i have kept going to SW - it shows how easy it is to put on! (and how much i don't get on with new consultant)

    My mum keep saying i look slimmer! But the scales don't agree :mad:

    Had a lovely meal out - choose fairly wisely but i couldn't the eton mess my Nana left go to waste! :o - payback for the chips she nicked off my plate! lol - needless to say i put on 2lbs this week!

    Copperjar - please don't be disheartened - when i first joined (nearly 2 years ago) i was losing at a fairly steady rate (1-2lbs a week) meaning i lost just over 4 st in 10 months! At least you are loosing! Don't think sod it or you will put it on like i have!


    The line is drawn & i am starting from scratch

    Today is green

    B - Strawbs & ff vanilla onken
    L - Baked bean lasagne (hea for cheese) with swede
    D - Butternut squash & lentil curry with rice
    S - Fibre plus bar (heb), milk in coffee (hea) & ryvita minis (heb), muller lights & plenty of water!
    Exercise - 1hour Zumba & if i get to gym early i will go on cross trainer & treadmill until Zumba starts

    Now sorting out my shopping list so i have enough fruit & veg for the week


    Stressed atm - Uni is mucking me about (AGAIN) with timetable - still don't know what day i am going back or which modules i am doing - i wish for just once they could get it right - be glad when it is all over!

    Sorry for the waffle - on my own in office today & need to talk to someone - should get back to work really :rotfl:

    Well done everyone & keep on the tank - i am fully strapped in now - no way to get me off this time!

    I guess it depends on how you cook the main dish - curry, bolognais and curry all contain tomato which js a good start and then you can add in a load of other veg as scorpiod said. I'm not so keen on adding too many veggies to these dishes so I always do plain steamed veg to go on the side of any dish - carrots and broccoli are practically daily, then I also do string or french beans, cabbage, kohl rabbi - what ever is in the garden or what looks good at the supermarket. Sometimes I put a sauce onthe veg but I, and kids, are quiet happy to eat them plain steamed.
    Don't forget too that fruit is also SF so finishing a meal with a few pieces of fresh or canned fruit should also count.
    Trying to keep in budget.
