Hi Sugarplum -just found your diary with its usual dose of inspiration! must try the eton mess!!! where would I find the double choc recipe and the one for the speed soup? Whenever I think I cant-which is frequently I just have to find your threas and see whats possible
thank you so much:clap::thankyou::superwoman:

Hi Mazie,

Thank You for the compliment, I really appreciate it! I find reading people's diarys really motivtional, it feels strange that mine could inspire someone. I still feel like the 'New Girl' on here! LOL :ashamed0005:

Here is the recipe for Speed Soup, i know that people on here rave about how good it it for weight loss. My plan is to have it for lunch everyday next week.

Super Speed Soup

1 can mixed bean salad
1 can green lentils
2 cans chopped tomatoes
1 can baked beans
Handful of split lentils
2 large leeks
1 large onion
4 large carrots
2 parsnips
Green, red or yellow pepper
2 beef stock cubes
Salt & pepper
Mixed herbs
Water (enough to cover all ingredients)

Chop all veg and put everything in pan, cover with water bring to boil and simmer until veg are soft.

Can be left chunky or blended.


My Double Choc CheeseCake is just my own invention but it was good!

Double Choc Cheese Cake - Makes 2

4 Alpen Light Bars - Double choc (HexB)
Tub of Quark (Free)
2 Sachets of White Choc Option (4 sins)

Blend Quark and White Choc options.
Crush up the Alpen bars and place inside a circular mould. Press them down with a jar, so they make a crunchy base. Then top with the chocolatey Quark mixture. Then add what fruit of your choice.

They were really nice, felt like I was eating something very naughty!!

Best news.. Only 2 sins!!!

 

[*SugarPlum*]

Well done to you. I am soooo jelous, I only managed half lb this week and had been really good 100% so don't know why such a small loss. Oh well at least it was a loss.
Anyway birthday meal tomorrow, Indian to celebrate or commiserate the fact that I reach 50 on monday, so just have to see what the scales say at my next wi on thursday.
Kietha

Hi Kietha,

I have had a week like that, I put 3lb on one week and had stuck to plan 100%.

Our bodies do strange things somethimes! Make sure you take your measurements, as i found that I still lost inches!

Make sure you enjoy yourself on your Birthday, it only happens once a year! LOL

I had a FAB birthday last weekend, the scales really did not approve. However, I had a week of being ultra good and I still lost 3lb!!

Keep smiling, remember we are on a RollerCoaster ride, we will have some Ups as well as Downs!!

Since starting SW, I have'nt really had that much Sugar, well not that I know anyway! LOL

This week is the first time I have had Alpen bars and to honest, I dint know how much Sugar is in them??:ashamed0005:

I know when I had a mostly Green week, I put my 3lb on! :cry:I dont think my body like alot of carbs.. pasta & potatoes especially! i have been trying to limit by carbs since my gain and it seems to be working.

It a mine field of trial and errors is'nt it?!! :d'oh: LOL xxx

Did I mention how proud I was of you? Yep think I did :8855:

Its trial and error most definately. I cut right back on bread and this week I've had some again and I am sooooooooooooooooooooo bloated. I wonder if it is bread... so next week no bread again.

I love Alpen lights the fudge ones. I made a mini cheesecake too last night after reading your thread, it was okay but really needed the white choccie options and I couldn't get any :cry:

Have a nother good day Sugar xxxxx

 

[Mazie6]

I do so agree about carbs thats why I fight shy of extra easy cos I know what they can do

I am doing EE this week but only because I want the Speed soup, my main meals will still be mainly meat & veg/salad.

I will be interested to see how it effects my weight come Sat! xxx

Awww, Thank You Jackie,

I agree with the bread, I usually have 2 slices every lunch. I plan on having no bread this week and Super Speed Soup for lunch. I will have to see if the scales approve come Sat! Lol

The White Choc options in Quark is sooo Yummy!! It is my life saver when I want something naughty!!

Good luck for this week xxx

 

[Mazie6]

Quark and white choc options -must try that
what do you have for brekkie??:wow:

 

[LoChan1984]

Wow Sugarplum, you've done so well!

V.impressed with your 3lb loss after that lovely b-day meal, and into the 22s already is amazing - well done

I shall be giving your eton mess ago and will look for the chicken jambalaya recipe too, need to get cooking myself to recover from a not-so-good week away in wales lol.

Will be interested to hear how your speed soup week goes, might try it myself if this week doesn't go too well (shaky confidence heh).

I can't seem to get the white chocolate options at the moment. All the others but not that one. driving me mad as it too is a lifesaver for me. I used it mixed with o% greek yoghurt too to use on strawberries etc... Its the only way I can eat quark too

Bread is definately affecting me this week. So I am going to try no bread after I've weighed tomorrow morning for a week and see how I feel. It just bloats me terrible now. Yet I used to eat loads of bread

[tillymax]

That made me laugh. I haven't made the speed soup yet cos I wasn't sure if I'd like it. What does it taste of?

 

[**claire**]

Could you not try adding spices/curry powder to the soup to make it taste a bit better?

 

[*SugarPlum*]

Hi ladies,

I am still getting over a cold, so not really sure if it's just ok, or really good?!

Hubby says it tastes really nice, so I will see over the next 5 days! LOL

Tilly, it really does make a Ton!!! Xx

 

[LoChan1984]

Hm wish I had the fridge space to store the soup - I'd probably need to make mine in smaller batches every couple of days.

I had the Eton Mess tonight, it was really lovely. I had a panic moment thinking hmmn that's a lot of cream cheese but comparing the Nvs of quark to a similar amount of yoghurt there's not much difference - if anything the quark seems lower in sugar
