GOSH - Fantastic on the weight loss - way to go girl :dance:


Tessie Bear - was thinking about your soup problem and wondering if you thought about cuppa soup. You might or might not have come across Ainsley-Harriott products so here is a link. I find his stuff quite good

Yesterday wasn't such a disaster as I thought it would be...only about 150 calories over...i walked to collect my fish supper, so that helped a tiny bit!

Have a busy day today, so that may help keep me away from the food! Haven't had anything to eat yet, because the muesli has run out (and I may still be full from last night).

I need to go to the shops, so will have a short walk there.

tessie bear, I don't really like cooking, and I don't like recipes with lots of ingredients, but I do make potato soup.
I put potatoes, carrots, and onions in a pot, with 2 pints (cos that's the size of the pot!) of either veg or ham stock (nothing special, just those little cubes you buy and pour hot water over).
I cook it for half an hour, and then blend it up, because 6 foot son doesn't do "lumpy vegetables" :-)

It's lovely with those rolls you can buy to heat up.

Hi everyone

Im barely clinging to the diet wagon at the moment!!

Today
B: usual berries, bran flakes, banana, ff greek yog
S: 1 small chicken drummer- no skin, mini baby bell, LARGE handful of maltesers
L: HM ham and egg salad
S: apple, red grapes
T: HM chilli & jacket potato
S: will try and limit what ever I have

Yesterday I ended up eating 1/2 a slice of toast & butter plus a round of bread and butter my only saving grace was it was medium sliced wholemeal bread and I ate it as my tea was very small!

Oh and 3 squares of popping candy choc Oh how I wanted to eat the whole blinking lot!!

Going to the gym tonight so am going to work out very hard!!!!

I'm really regretting my decision to buy porridge for a healthy month of breakfasts. Far too hot for porridge...

B: 4 crackers
L: Gigantis Plaki with a roll
pasta with veggies and pesto
S: Nuts, pear, 2 ice poles, 2 profiteroles (someones birthday)

I think my day would have been better if I had had a proper breakfast to be honest. I maybe need to try making some oat based cereal bars...

Evening everyone,

I make a really simple low calorie spicy butternut squash soup and its yummy....its great with one of those buns for your lunch or even a light tea.

1 butternut squash diced
1 onion diced
garlic
ginger (dried or fresh)
chili (flakes or fresh)
1 pint chicken or veg stock
Salt & pepper

I've left the amount of ginger, garlic and chili up to you as I don't measure it and it will also depend on how big your squash is. If I was to guess it would be about 1 or 2 garlic, tsp ginger and half a tsp chili.

I cook mine in the slow cooker for about 4 hours on high and 2 on low.

If you do it on the hob just cook until the squash is soft.

I use my stick blender on it when its ready as I also prefer non-lumpy soup :rotfl:
