Sick of carrying 2 hitch hikers about, so this is my diary

Aww thanks Kels, I am proud of you too, we can do this hun, just wish I had listened to you years ago when you suggested I would find SW easier, but thank god I did listen in the end lol.
Roziee, you are totally right, but I do like to keep my syns under 10 a day if possible as I seem to either gain or maintain if I go over, we;ll see tonight how things go lol
Redmel, thank you and thank you all for your encouragement xx

Lilyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

*jumps up and down for joy*

That is fantastic!!!!!!!!
 
Thank you all soooooooooooo much, I have been slimmer of the month before, but never slimmer of the week, we have some real big losers at our group, so I am really excited, especially as I convinced myself I had put on....I could dance all night I feel so happy lol and maybe I should cos I might get slimmer of the week again next week, and that would be the best birthday present ever lol xxxx
 
My Recipe for Minestrone, especially for Roziee and of course anyone else who wants it, just before I put it up, I must say this is enough for 4+ pints of soup, I do a whole batch in one go and I have a massive bowl nearly every day and it can be frozen, which is great and of course most importantly it's syn free:

6 sticks of Celery, chopped
4 large carrots, chopped
4 cloves of Garlic, crushed
1 large onion, diced
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
4 chicken stock cubes (I use Knorr)+
2 Veg stock cubes (again Knorr)made up into 4 pints of liquid
2 tins of chopped tomatoes
2 tins of cannellini beans
120g wholemeal pasta
8 slices of smoked ham or 8 rashers of smoked bacon, all fat removed and diced
1 Tbsp Parsley
1 Tbsp Coriander
1 Tbsp Basil
1 Tbsp smoked paprika


Put all veg, stock made with the cubes, herbs, worcestershire and soy sauce into a large pan and bring to boil, turn down and simmer until veg is soft, about 20 mins.
Then add Ham, tomatoes, cannellini beans and pasta and cook for a further 10 minutes, serve alone or with crispbreads or wholemeal bread (heb)
You could have this without any meat if your prefer, it is still yummy .
This is so yummy I have it nearly everyday and it's very very filling x

Sound delish. I'm gonna make some on the weekend when I get more time to cook and put in some lamb pieces instead of bacon because i don't eat that.. Oh yum cant wait!

Thank you lily, and congratulations once again ma love x
 
Thank you Roziee, it really is gorgeous and like I said filling.
I am like a kid in a sweet shop tonight, I am so exited, I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I could lose 10st but not only have I done it but I will do it again lol...1 hitch hiker down 1 to go lol
My daughter just said that's dad's weight 10st so effectively I have lost my husband lol xx

that would be excited although I could be exited too lmao
 
Lol I have one hitchhiker to lose too :p

You have lost one, the second one will be easier to lose hopefully xxx
 
When things happen like tonight, it's always just the boost I need to spur me on, I found minimims about 6 months ago but never joined until last week as I was beginning to become fed up with the weight loss journey. Meeting you and other supportive people on here plus doing some of the challenges have really helped me to get back on track and I am determined to get another few pound off this week too, now I have 1 of the slimmer of the week stickers I want more lol xx
