[Kay003]

Kay, kay, kay I'd like to say I told u so
Hehe! now do you believe you really can do it?

Im very proud of you, and by eating your quota of syns it may have been what you needed to boost that metabolism.

We didn't lose it YOU DID!! So as I said keep doing what you do best and you will succeed.

Big proud hugs from me. X

I'm not sure what soup to make ill probably make carrot and lentil because it's really filling and I know it's going to be nice, I'm too scared to try anything new in case it's rank then I have to eat it for a week hehe... xx

Yep I know that's so true with soup, if you don't like it then your stuck with it. I made a mixed veg and coriander soup and I blended it, it came out quite nice to my surprise I normally like my soups chunky and not blended lol, but this came out really nice . Oh I love lentils too, lentil and carrot soup sounds yummy. I think I'm going to buy a soup maker and I want to get the SW little book of soups, my C was out of stock will try buying it next week. I love my soups, find I have good losses with them and their filling . What about potato and leek soup, that's really nice ?

hehe, what are you like ? I can't imagine soup without stock. Mind you I've started using the vegetable bouillon powder, its tastes so much nicer than stock cubes. I also add some v8 veg juice (100ml = 1 syn) in my soup, it flavours it really nice. What will you do with one Onion ? Mind you I start my soups by sautéing some onions in the pan then I add the remainder of my ingredients. Oh I love French onion soup with some crusty bread, yum yum don't know a SW friendly version of it though lol .

Afternoon everyone , sorry its taken me long to come online, I came back from group and made my soup for the week for my soup challenge . Just sat down now with my cuppa to update ......

Thanks you all for the `stress' comments , my Consultant was laughing about that too, at how wound up I get every Tuesday, but she joked that she thinks there is definitely some correlation between me being `miss stressyhead ' (yes I am happy with that title ) and losing the lbs. Whenever I stress I lose. I told her one of my friends on mins said that too but problem is I can't remember which one ? But you know who your are and I want to say, thank you !



I lost 2.5 lbs this week ! ( but to be fair that is over 2 weeks )

I got my 3.5 stone award - yay ! who's a happy bunny then ...... !



On a more serious note my C said not to get excited because of the blow out, she said it was because I pulled back on the last 2 days and I walked 7 days last week, she said the body magic has saved my butt basically lol . I think I am exercising after a long gap so my body is rewarding me with a loss .

I am so happy today ! :bliss: Gilly if your listening, I have finally caught up on last year !!


My next mini goals are :-

to lose 1 lb by next week to get my half century - 50 lbs gone !
to lose 7 lbs by April to get my 4 stone award !


I'm going to go and put a new shiny sticker under my signature right now ! hehe

Thank you all for your kind words and support, I really appreciate it . I know I drive you guys crazy on Mondays sorry for that .
