Great loss!

I've got out of the habit of having soup - think I need to get back into it.

Fantastic loss Sam... Well done xx

A little bit of parsnip goes a long way I find ... I wonder if using half swede (which lends itself to peppery/curry flavours anyway) and half parsnip would taste as good while being more superfree?

after you said that I picked up a swede this morning. I'll try that tomorrow. Parsnip and swede soup. Should be good

Fantastic loss Sam... Well done xx

Thanks Paul I'm hoping its a roll that will see me though Easter weekend although I'm having an egg on Sunday. Even skinny people eat Easter eggs. X

i genuinely think its that in combination with the scan bran. I'll keep at it whilst it's not boring me haha.

Soup full of superfree + Scan bran = lethal combination!

It's good to mix things up to keep yourself interested. I've become a bit 'samey' so I'm trying to do different things. Having an Easter egg on Sunday is certainly going to be one of those different things!

Oh yes. Sometimes it does you good to have a little (or a lot) of what you fancy. It reminds you of why you do it in the first place.

I love swede I prefer it to potato if the truth be told (though not so keen on the peeling and chopping it lol).

Talking of yumminess ... here's a link to this week's Jack Monroe offering Jack Monroe's spaghetti alla puttanesca recipe | Life and style | The Guardian . She's made it with tinned sardines in oil but I reckon it would work just as well, if not better, with tinned pilchards in tomato sauce - Mmm Mmmmmmm

I am eschewing Easter treats this year, though I'm going to make a 'Hot Cross Bun' porridge on Friday Right now I want the losses more than I want chocolate, so I figure I might as well ride that particular wave while it lasts

Hi Sam, just read through all of this (yes all 6 months worth ). I have just started SW 3 weeks ago. Your posts really make me giggle and feel better about why we do this in the first place.
I am a uni student living with a very fit boyfriend who eats over 3000cals a day just to maintain (he plays american football) this is not an easy task when on SW.
Just wanted to tell you how much you make me giggle! Keep up the fab work!! Hopefully I'll make my stone tonight at WI xx
