Just made a huge pot of Tuscan Bean Soup for tomorrow's lunch and dinner! Have the ortho at 10am tomorrow so will be on a liquid diet from then
That sounds absolutely yummy. I've had a surfeit now of herby pea soup and cauliflower & fennel so in line for a change.0 -

C&F soup is a favourite of mine! I've had it the last two weeks
And bought more fennel today 
Just beware of ppl at work on your lunch break! I bought it this week and one of the guys goes "Can anyone smell something weird - like liqorise", me "yeah it's my soup", him "your soup?", Me "yes, it's fennel", him "ewwwwwwwwwwww, you eat the weirdest things, why would you want liqorise flavoured soup", what a numb nuts! 0 -

So had WI this morning & I was down 0.5lbs I'm happy with that of course I'd like more but I've resigned myself to the fact my body loses weight slowly so I just have to embrace it!! I do have the odd week where I'm down 1. 1.5 but mostly it's 0.5 & well they all add up! If I look qt wk 1 to today I've lost an average of 1lb a week & that's the reccomended so can't complain too much & here's to never seeing 13st something or 12st something ever again!!
So I hit 2 mini goals this morning I'm now in the 11's hello 11's! & I got my next silver seven so happy out. My next mini goal is to get to 11.10 & then 11.7 & the more medium term is to get to 11stone or under by electric picnic that probably seems weird but I love leccy picnic the food is always amazing & I'm going to take those 4 days off from WW & just relax & enjoy myself while still making good choices! It's 8 wks away though so if I continue losing small amounts it'll be impossible to achieve but when I set the goal originally I had 14 wks to get there - I've lost 5 lbs though since I set that goal for myself so we'll see! It would be nice to be 2 & a half stone lighter at this years EP over last years!
Ye are all doing great well done I've not posted much cos I've been feeling very meh & didn't want to infect the rest of ye with it I've not fallen of the wagon or anything just tired & pi$$ed off but I think that's because of this mo fo of a comute I have ATM. But back to my own office Monday & back to soup & ryvitta for lunch it's 7 weeks since I've been in my own office full time! Damn you clients messing with my WW eating plan! I can't look at another sambo, salad or ricecake/ryvitta + topping combo for a LONG while how I miss my microwave & fridge at work!! 
Re treats, this will be controversial for N&D but seriously treats in moderation are ok IMHO I mean this is a lifestyle change not a diet & for me to never be able to eat 2 squares of dark Choc or an icepop or a packet of crisps is unrealistic & I'd never stick to it or worse yet I'd get to goal & think feck it I can eat what I want now & pile it on again as so many have done before! Whereas how I eat now - everything in moderation means I'll always eat like this & more chance of it staying off! Just my 2 cents I have 2 squares of dark Choc everyday & I'm not changing that for anyone! :P 0 -

morning peeps
still feeling nice and positive this morning after last nights loss:) even with the dreaded 'breakfast morning' about to start.....I can smell the bacon already still I have my healthy goodies line up on the desk in front of me.......so I know I will survive!!!
downloaded the WWpoints diary onto my phone and it was wrking grand last night, however, this morning when I went to search the database to add my brekkie points its not finding things like weetabix.....which I know it found yesterday as its on my food list, so am confused as to why
....will add it in manually for now.....but its annoying that its not working properly!!!
I agree with you as well Kay......I think everything should be eaten in moderation (including treats) if I say otherwise I would be lying to myself....and end up in the biscuit tin and not track it!!!0 -

its a set running program, with the aim of getting you from laying on the couch to running 5km in 9 weeks. I am doing the treadmill version which I find handy (fair weather walker
) and am about to complete week 2!!! I find it handy as the work out is laid out and only takes 30 mins in total at the mo. tis 3 workouts a week so handy in that way as well.
I need goals to motivate me and as this is laid out I don't have an excuse to be lazy!!! haven't got any of the apps yet but that is next on my list now that I have a new smartypants phone to play with :cool:0 -

Well done to everyone with their losses. I haven't been on in a while so trying to spend some time reading back.
I really need inspiration, have stayed the same for 4 weeks and its driving me crazy. I am still only 2 lbs away from goal. I exercise every day but the tracking hasn't been great. So making that my mission now.
I have a new goal for myself, a friend of mine who works in Africa has asked me to go over for 2 weeks in October so I really want to loose 10 lbs. Thats 0.5lb a week. It would get me down another dress size too which would be amazing.
Brennans sliced pan bread is KILLING me. I am drawn to it along with big fat slabs of butter. Ughh. Today is a new week so I just think if I could avoid it I may just drop 1-2lbs this week.
what i did this week...cos my tracked had gone....very generous lets call it...i eased up on exercise....made tracking and eating right PRIORITY! I wasn't stressing about omg i need to get to the gym....and after a few days....started feeling more energised and kinda WANTED to exercise...didnt feel i HAD to do it...30 mintutes walking every day is all i did...
I also cut back bread aswell. havent had any bread this week (i had gave bread up for all of lent and it really helped) but as soon as lent was over....i was stuffing my gob with ww bagels..cos they were on special....like 2 or 3 or 4 bagels a day :O toasted smothered in flora! EEEEK!
This week I've also cut waaaaaaaay back on spuds...think i've had spuds once this week....vs.....nearly every night for the last two weeks!
took a peek at the scales this morning.....i nearly fell off in shock! But not saying anything until official WI tomorrow but lets just say I'm HAPPY!
I also ate 35 of my weeklies this week (two tubs of light soft cheese and packet of ryvita...i had ryvita and cheese every night around 9pm...it curbed my munchies)
I tired TONNES of new foods and recipes this week, and cut out carbs from lunch!
Ditch the bread! You said it your self...its the enemy! Tonnes of water....change your meals up....even changing the time of day you exercise...and maybe eat some of your weeklies on HEALTHY foods...if your over exercising chances are you might need extra protein...
Maybe make an appointment with a personal trainer for one or two sessions to get a professional work out plain especially designed for your body, your fitness. Might just be the kick up the butt and shock to the system your body needs0 -

Ah thanks Lainy, I know i need to do all those things but the willpower is just not there, seem to be ok today so hopefully i can keep it going. Im so jealous of your motivation! 0 -

Chain reaction.....one good day....leads to the next....then its domino effect!
same way...one bad day....can lead to the next....i know if i break my good streak...disaster will strike....last weekend i just sat down and spent entire weekend looking at recipe sites....weight watchers books. ppls recipes on here....and then i spent an 1/2 day grocery shopping. aldi,lidl, dunnes, supervalu, tesco....getting lots of ingredients....nothing prepared...if i want it...gotta make it....
made a huge batch of bran muffins, frozen them in portions...and have lots of 2pp fruit ice lollis in the freezer...
I'm watching calories aswell as points! like as i said...i ate nearly all my weeklies this week....they went on ryvita and light cheese!
And i've started cooking big dishes like pasta bakes and lasagnes....and as soon as its made....portion it into lunch boxes and freeze them as soon as they are cold...even if i'm using it the next day....not leaving it in the fridge...cos i WILL eat it! and each lunch box is down to the gram the exact weight...so i know the points. i'm weighing EVERYTHING...nothing to chance.
I took LOADS of advice from everyone here! I thought this week was going to be really hard...but after a day of two of eating right...i was just on a high...today I even took the two dogs for a strole and walk up the fields...i actually got off my ass and did something instead of watching tv....on that note i still gotta get in my half hour on treadmill...so off to do that now....ipod strapped to my arm and ready to go...
When I'm good....i'm kicking ass....when i'm bad....oh dear lord i'm a sinking ship!
OOoooh and my mum just booked me a weekend in Baltimore in those fancy tipie things...anyone know anything about them or the area? Gotta get my camera fixed whale watching, bird watching, just wish I could bring Rua...
i've posted my trackers on my blog....:D I feel like i've been eating all day every day.....its kinda weird! haha0 -

Lady Lainy......trying to be really good too!How do you make your bran muffins and how many pp??
And also....is pasta bake not high in pp as very creamy??? I LOVE pasta bake....have you a nice low fat recipe for that??
I lack variety!!Plus my bf does all the cooking.....haha he went away on work for a week and even made me freezer meals!!!haha!! I can cook but mam always told me....pretend to man you cant boil an egg!!!Its worked anyway
the pasta bake is all made from scratch...there isnt any white sauce in it. and i make it with passta and Quorn. Altho tomorrow i'm making it with Chicken mince...cos i dont want to get sick of quorn.
It serves 4 (but i have it devided into two big portions...I like my BIG dinners...and i wont have it with any sides)
I got it from a cook book, and just pointed it my self.
Just posted a great Thai Beef Chilli Curry Recipe.
Haven't made it yet, but might try it next week 0 -

PS: some people havent submitted a Weight since Week0, I might remove their names from the list if I dont have a weight for this week(4) for them.
They can however rejoin at any stage:D
phew lots to read back on, missed loads haven't had a chance to log on Hubby working mad hours and kids keeping me mad busy!
I lost 1.5 this week, got my first 7 took me 7 weeks to get it I know its going to be slow loss for me as well, don't think I will ever see 3 or 4 pounds in one week but that's OK
Kay totally agree with your post, I'm in the same boat as you losing it slow and steady and can not wait to see the 11's downwards
I made a yummy butternut squash soup so filling if any one wants the recipe I got it off Rivercottage you put peanut butter in it! I left it out so it was o pp but had some low fat natural yogurt with it yummy.0 -
Lainy I know you have said it before but how many points are in your lasagne and what size dish do you put it in.
I'm thinking of allowing the extra points to put beef mince in but does anyone know where would do the leanest, I always find that the packet ones have alot of fat that needs draining out, im presuming the butchers would have the best?
Thanks 0 -

The Quorn Lasagne is 3 servings of 14pp or 4 servings of 10.
yeah the butcher would be the best...but even the lean mince you'll be able to drain. so a good quality lean steak mince should be okay...even raw it should be dark wine red colour...with not that much white marbling thru the mince.
watch out for offers in tesco they do 3 for €9 offer on meats nearly every second week, so you might be able to pick packs of lean mince in that.
Its a standard square dolmio lasagne dish I use. Note the lasagne doesnt come up right to the top of the dish!
