Kay, I did my 6 days, and am down 1 lb. I am very happy with that as I was out on Friday night and went over my syns, so it takes my system a few days to get rid of the alcohol!

Wishing a great week to everyone continuing / starting today. I hope to be back next week but it depends on where I am working!

Thanks guys, and well done Upndown!

I can't commit to the challenge this week but I really enjoy having soup for my lunch so I am going to definitely have a few bowls over the next 7 days.

Well done Niamh ! This was your 2nd week on the challenge, so you've lost 5lbs in 2 weeks ! arty0011:arty0011:arty0011: And I know it could have been more, had you done 7 days, but hey we all need to enjoy ourselves and I think you've done brilliantly !! So well done lovely . We will miss you this week. Keep popping in if you can. I will update your results now . Glad your gonna continue having soups, hope your back with us soon xx

And here's another....

Speedy pea soup (for green/EE days)

1.2litres of vegetable or chicken stock
1 chopped shallot or small onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
275g frozen peas
2tblsp freshly chopped mint
Black pepper to taste

Put stock in large pan and bring to the boil. Add the onion or shallot, garlic, peas and mint. Cook at a brisk simmer for about 10mins until peas are tender.
Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste and serve hot, topped with a swirl of fat free natural yogurt if you wish.

Going to make this this week!

Well done!

Hello hun , you've done amazing considering the circumstance, meds can often have an effect on weight loss and cause water retention in our body. That's a brilliant loss and you had a day off in the week too, so a 1.5 loss is terrific ! You've done loads of these challenges before and have had amazing results. I am glad that all that fibre water and exercise has given your body an extra healthy boost this week . I've also looked at your stats, did you just get your 2 stone award too hun ? xx

You guys are fab.
Due to complete lack of planning on my behalf and the fact have poorly children I have nothing in to make soup so I am planning today/tonight to go shopping tomorrow so will start on Weds which is my weigh day anyway.
What soups are best for red days? I've done a week of red since Thursday and struggling to find soups ideal for red (I can be a bit fussy )

 

[Poppet12]

Fab losses! Well done everyone
Have my soup bubbling on the stove. X

Sorry lovely unfortunately the challenges can only start on Mondays. You have 2 options you can either join us next Monday or I can put you down as day off today but you would have to start day 2 with us tomorrow. The challenge does not run on individual weigh in days I'm afraid, that's covered in the guidelines . Let me know what you decide.
