mum2OliNoandJess · 05/01/2010 21:28

i am not sure that cal counter is so accurate as it thought i did my exercises really well and i know my legs were going in completely the wrong direction most of the time lol...

Joycey29 · 05/01/2010 21:29

My DH has already downloaded the recipe!!!

Joycey29 · 05/01/2010 21:30

Cross post!! Here's to hula hooping

fatkatyslim · 05/01/2010 21:40

all ww points here

gruber · 05/01/2010 21:58

Well, could have done better today on food front, and I didn't get out for a walk - things just kept piling up (interview, big grocery shop, emergency tire replacement) so bit of a bum day. Oh well tomorrow is a better day.

Did well for dinner - chicken, onion and pasta, no sauce.

Lots of snow so very excited!! I'm on the south coast too Pizzaz so can share your excitement - we don't get it very often!

FultonMcKay · 05/01/2010 22:04

..the Frerro HAD to get shampoo'ed or I would have fished them out and eaten them! I have been doing the weight loss thing for about 6 weeks now and the only thing for me is not to face temptation or I will give in.

Had big conversation with DH on the way home from work last night about how I am craving a pizza. Mmmm says he. We could get the chicken and veg one and ask for no cheese then get a Haiwiian one with 50% less cheese, good idea blah blah. Convo goes on for about 5 mins when the angel on my shoulder slapped me around the face and I said 'NO! no pizza or I will never be skinny for Boracay (our holiday in March). It was like someone else's voice coming out of my mouth [shines halo]!!!!

Eddas · 05/01/2010 22:17

well done fulton 6 weeks in and still managing to resist, you shall be my inspiration! I had a chuckle at shampooing the choccies That's the sort of thing I have to do too. Mind you I haven never done it in the past, should've, but I always end up eating it all hence the diet

From now on any food that tempts me gets shampooed. It's been warned

shockers · 05/01/2010 22:20

Both kids schools closed so got our ski stuff on and had at least 3 hours of walking, sliding down slopes (to call it sledging would be over egging the pud)building snowmen (5!)
Made a roast chicken dinner but all veg were steamed, new pots were roast in their skins and I forgot to cook the (Cartmel) sticky toffe pud so that's still in the fridge with the double cream.......

mummymels · 05/01/2010 22:51

I have missed loads here since Friday. I need to make a conscious effort to get on here more often as I don't have time to read back on it all now.

Just want to add my bits to the list though.

You have done really well already mummymels... you'll have to give us all tips to keep us encouraged..

PhaseolusLunatus · 05/01/2010 23:56

What a lot of posts!

"Vegetable Curry (From How To Eat):

2 lg onions, each cut into 8 pieces

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon each of ground cumin, ground coriander and paprika

1/2 teaspoon each of ground allspice, ground cardamom and ground ginger

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

about 600ml stock

3 peppers, peeled, deseeded and chopped coarsely

3 large carrots, chopped coarsely

350g button mushrooms, halved or quartered

2 medium white turnips, cut into 1cm pieces

1 fennel bulb, quartered and cut into 1cm pieces

3 celery stalks, cut into 1 cm pieces

juice of 1/2 large lemon

3 medium courgettes, cut into 1cm pieces

225g runner beans, cut into 1 cm pieces

Put the onion pieces, garlic, spices and 300ml stock in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cover, bring to the boil, and boil for 5-7 mins. Uncover and stir in the peppers, carrots and mushrooms. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer, stirring frequently, until the veg and spices are 'frying' in their own juices, and the veg are tender. Leave to cool slightly.

Purée half the mixture (blender or processor), then return purée to pan.

Add the turnip, cauliflower, parsnip, fennel and celery. Stir together very well. Add enough stock almost to cover the contents of the pan, season with salt and bring to the boil.

Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 mins. Uncover, squeeze in the lemon juice, add the courgettes and beans. Simmer uncovered for 10 mins more, or until all veg are tender."

What I do is make versions of this, depending on what I have in the house and how much time I have on my hands. I have been known to throw a bag of frozen mixed veg into a tin or 2 of chopped tomatoes along with a chopped onion, some curry powder and seasoning, and simmer till done. Somehow the little carrots are particularly pleasing

Hope that's some use - I have unearthed some other curryish recipes and will add those if anyone would like.

ABitOfPizzazz · 06/01/2010 08:09

Morning all

Unheard of to have snow like this on the south coast gruber will probably do some cooking with the kids today as they're off school so will need extra willpower to avoid the chocolate log!!

Thanks for the recipe phas perhaps we could start our own recipe thread. Is that 0 points with ww?

Can also use washing up liquid on the chocolates, it's a tip of Rosemary Conley's.

Did anybody see the channel 4 programme last night, Drop A Dress Size In 2 Weeks?

runforit · 06/01/2010 09:51

Morning everyone - no snow here just icy but I still went running 30mins - just got back - and no missing fingers thanks to new snuggly gloves

Food plan today:
B- yog with apple and cinnamon
L- 3 x ryvita with beetroot and hummus
D- chilli prawn linguini

My plans for today are still a bit ruined but at least the school is open

Hope you all have a good day and avoid the s!

Disenchanted3 · 06/01/2010 10:20

Higirls, everyones doing so fabulously!

Fulton, I know its not the same but WWs do pizzas, Ive got 2 spicy chicken ones in the freezer, 3.5 points each, or they do big ones for 7 points.

That washing up liquid trick is deadly!! DS brought his dinner in yesterday complete with leftover chips, I promptly squirted them with the green stuff and put water on the plate, DS lookd like this he said he only came in for some tomato sauce

Luckily there were a few chips left on the baking tray in the oven!!

my sis is coming down today so we are going for a long walk in the snow (with buggies) so that should be interesting.

FultonMcKay · 06/01/2010 10:25

Dis - that is hilarious!! Can't get WW food i the Philippines but I can often talk DH inot making me one from the WW cook book and it is gorgeous.

Todays Recipe (this is what I am having tonight)

Mexican Beef and Bean Mince (6pts, serves 4)

5 sprays low fat cooking spray
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion
1 medium carrot
1 medium pepper
500g extra lean beef mince
800g canned tomatoes
2 teaspoon chili powder (I will prob have about 5)
1/4 tsp oregano
1 tsp artificial sweetner
400g cooked pinto beans

Spray ;arge frying pan over led high heat. Cook veg until soft, add mince and increase heat to high. Cook for 5 mins, breaking up any clumps with back of spoon. Seasson to taste with salt and pepper.

Add toms, chilli power, beans, sweetner and oreageno. Reduce heat to med low and simmer for 10 mins or until sauce thickens.

If eating wtih BP or rice then add relevant points. Leftoers can be put on a pitta or tortilla for lunch - yum!

I am eating bits of it now with a pitta bread and it is very, very good. I put in 2 heaped tsp of cayenne pepper and 3 of chilli powder (we like it hot in this house!)

Had a good day. Did 12km/45 mins on cross trainer and no snacking so far. Hope you all have a good one!

Pekkala · 06/01/2010 10:41

Murtette · 06/01/2010 12:07

Wow, ladies, you're all doing really well - much better than me. I was supposed to join WW today but given there was already 6" of snow on the ground and more was falling, I decided to stay at home and I've just had an email from Amazon saying that the exercise DVD I ordered is out of stock and won't arrive until the end of the month! Mysterious forces appear to be working against me!

I've been trying to eat well for the past couple of days but when I'm not actually pointing, its very easy to slip the odd remaining Xmas biscuit in and ignore it rather than think "aaagh, that was 5 points". Reading your tales have encouraged me though so I'll try and be good today - although, given the weather, all I really want to do is curl up with hot chocolate and a chunk of cake!

Jodie - what's the recipe for Homity Pie? That sounds like good comfort food but low in points.

runforit · 06/01/2010 12:22

Oooooh snowing hard here now - glad I ran earlier cos I couldn't in this! Just called DH to try and persuade him to come home early so he can pick up DD from school in case it gets worse

Now I am over the dissappointment of cancelled plans I am actually quite excited about the snow - I hope we get enough for a snowman!
