Lose Weight 21

Mrs PP and Leo - Hello :hello:

Ajax - any teams left? Would like to join the sweepstake (anything to make all this football more bearable :rotfl: )

Vix - sounds like you had a great time in London, have fun tomorrow

Missyg - congrats on your 'shopping'

I'd like to report a 1.6 lb loss this week (oops , also moving over to fractions of lb's so that my 1.6lb doesn't end up as a '2lb' IYSWIM) - think it must be all the cycling at the weekends getting my shopping - today I could hardly push my bike up the hill from the railway crossing (it's really steep), I think the bike weighed more than me and I just couldn't get the leaverage. Bet I looked funny all red in the face and not going anywhere fast :rotfl:

Does anyone have any LW savoury recipes including strawberries? Actually using strawberries in the food rather than as a garnish or jus?

Only 4 teams left for the Euro 2008 sweepstake, take 'em or they're gone last reminder!

http://www.recipes4us.co.uk/Strawberry%20Recipes.htm chilled strawberry soup!

Love the look of this too!!
(from chocolateandzucchini.com)
Pesto Fraise Basilic
35 grams (1/3 cup) freshly grated Parmesan
35 grams (1/3 cup) whole blanched almonds, toasted
A small handful (about 1/3 cup) fresh basil leaves
5 small strawberries (or 3 large), hulled [be sure to use fragrant and full-flavored strawberries: if they're a bit bland, I'm quite sure they'll get lost in the battle]
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt, freshly ground pepper
Makes about 1/2 cup (the recipe can be doubled).
Combine the Parmesan, almonds, and basil in a mixer or blender, and process in short pulses until the mixture forms a paste. Add the strawberries and olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and mix until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer into a jar, close tightly, refrigerate, and use within a few days.
Use in sandwiches, on canapés and crostini, toss with pasta, etc.



Are there any teams left still?

I just tested out the bra calculator website and I question its accuracy. My underbust measurement is 38, yet it recommends I wear a 42! I can buy a 38c in pretty much any shop and it will fit perfectly, ticking all the requirements specified by Gok Wan in his bra fitting special programme. Why would I need a 42, which is surely going to be 4 inches too big?

I tried it too and got the same sort of result. I measure 37 under the boobs and 45 on the widest and it says I should be wearing a 42E! I have been wearing a 38E up until now and they might be getting a bit too big for me 'cause I have lost some weight.

Welcome to the world of decimal places FFM! A loss is always good even when maintaining... you can have some fun putting it back on, or just be thinner for a while

I'm gonna be brave and flash my test 'after' picture up for a few minutes - anyone who's on now will see it.... anyone who's not will miss it cos I'm not leaving it on :rotfl:

Kymrob - you are amazing. You must spend all your free time going clothes shopping to keep up with the way the weight is dropping off you.

missyg_3

Thank you Granny & Annie I've lost 3 stone Annie so not a long hauler but believe me I looked a lot different when I started! As well as the weight loss I've done loads of work to try to tone up.

I'm too chicken to leave it online, sorry guys

Completely agree about Kymrob! Amazing effort going on there

Night night everyone x
