4 pound off over two weeks, not fully deserved food wise. Think the activity of looking after the children, breastfeeding and pushing the double buggy around a zoo and up and down hills may have helped. Reached a healthy BMI which I am really pleased about. Helping to motivate me for the next 7lb - I never thought 9st 7lb was achievable but now it is in sight x

Well done on your loss

spicy porridge? how did you do that?

spicy porridge? how did you do that?

When I cook it I add cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg (sometimes ground cloves). I am not a big fan of cinnamon but my partner loves it I prefer it more ginger in taste. I put quite a lot in as the porridge seems to be able to handle it

I love cinnamon so normally i soak my oats overnight with it and it catches the flavour better when I cook in the morning.

Ginner I am not a fan off, but will try the nutmeg together with cardamon for a spicy taste...

sounds good. I don't soak my oats overnight for porridge but think I will try that to get them spicier. You have given me an idea though, I might add ginger to my overnight oats tomorrow as need a change from porridge

Little one has a cold, she had a good night with only one wake up so thought she was finally cutting down on the feeding a bit but then refused all good today and drunk me dry bless her.

Soaking over night helps with the flavour but also it cooks quicker when making porridge
