First WI tonight and to say i'm a bag of nerves is mild! I'm bricking it.

Didn't excerise as I was way too tired lately nor did i drink as much water as i was supposed to however I did track every day and avoided a good bit of temptation!

I don't ever remember being so nervous about a WI before. I'm hoping for 1lb loss, as when i got to goal last time it was a slow steady 1lb - 1.5lb weekly loss. Anything over this and i'll be thrilled.

Lainy, you were saying something a few days ago about drinking Malibu and Diet Coke. How much is in a measure of Malibu please?

P.S Love the new puppy!

Made the herby pea soup recipe for lunch today that was in the Sunday World this week. Quite nice but way too much for one sitting along with a slice of brown soda bread. Have kept half for himself this evening.

If anyone needs the recipe I'll put it up.

Add a vegetable stock cube or stock pot which is what I used (1pp) to 400mls water. Bring to the boil, add 200g frozen peas (4pp).
Simmer for 3 mins.
Add 1 tablespoon each of chopped mint and parsley.
Liquidise and season.

There's loads for 2 medium bowls in this, or 1 brimming to the full bowl!

Thanks for this.....might give it a go tonite.....tired of Carrot and Coriander soup :cool: and I forgot to take something out for my dinner so this might fill the void and prevent me snacking off the kids plates (they are getting sausages tonite as my DH is cooking)....its terrible I have to get my DH to empty their leftovers in the bin cause I know if I do it, I will eat all the tasty bits on the way to the bin and then point it to discover I have had like an extra 5-10 pts :eek: happened to me on my first week on WW

Just made a yummy fruit salad with strawberries, bananas and pears, had it with a low fat yougurt (1pp) and a meringue nest (2pp) so not bad for a lunch time snack and helped me avoid the treats someone brought in and left in the canteen for the office!!!

Well done everyone - some great losses this week! I'm weighing in tonight at 6 and really hoping for -2.5 to get my 10%... had a really good week food and exercise wise so fingers crossed! Its so hard to know though, last time I had what I thought was a bad week I lost 4 lbs! Dont know what goes on with my body sometimes.

Ya I'd say you could seeing as the peas have been cooked, but it might lose it's green colour.

Found this recipe and its yummy and low in PP so thought I would share

Chicken salad with chilli,ginger and lime dressing.

serves 4 , 23 PP for full recipe and worked out at 5.75 so pointed it at 6PP
Ingredients:
4 skinless chicken breasts, cut thinly in to strips
1 chinease cabbage, thinly sliced
3 medium carrots, pelled and sliced thinly
1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
100g sugar snap peas, sliced
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil ( I used low fat spray)
a handful of fresh coriander
For the marinade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
juice of 1/2 a lime
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
1/2 a red chilli, finely chopped
1/2 thumb-sized piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
For the dressing
3 tablespoons of sunflower oil
1 tablesoppon of soysauce
1 tablespoon smooth low fat peanut butter
juice of 1/2 a lime
1 tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon seasame oil
1 garlic clove peeled and crushed
1/2 a red chilli, finely chopped
1/2 thumb-sized piece of fresh root ginger.peeled and finely chopped

TIP you can add more vegatables, peppers,cucumber,spring onions etc
Method
*mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl, add the chicken strips and mix through, cover and place in the fridge to marinate while you prepare the salad and dressing.In a small bowl,whisk all the ingredients for dressing on till combined. place the chinease cabbage,carrots,redonion and sugar snap peas in a large salad bowl. Add half the dressing and combine untill all the vegetables are well coated.
*Heat the sun flower oil (low fat spray) in a fryingpan.remove the chicken strips from the marinade and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side untill golden brown and cooked through. Serve the salad in individual bowls topped with the chicken,a little chopped coriander an extra drizzle of the dressing.

Hi just reading through the recipe, very nice - but just wanted to double check the points - is it 23 for the lot as that matches with your 5.75 or 33 which would be 8.25 - have to be pedantic - every point counts

I got 23 but I used low fat spray so 5.75 I called it 6 pp per portion! now If I have pointed it wrong correct me please still 8 PP wouldnt be bad either esp if you bulked it up with more salad veg!

hi Baby75
sorry I didnt point it - you wrote 33, on your message but your maths was 23 so I was just checking, obviously just a typo -:o

LORNLAKES22

PS. yes 8 would be fine too it does sound very tasty so will definitely be one to try
