@mistymeadows2005 - Thank you for the info I love chiffon cakes. You can change the flavour and never get bored with it Here's the recipe. Its from joy of baking.

Orange Chiffon Cake
2 cups (240 grams) cake flour
1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar (Sugar 1)
2 teaspoons (8 grams) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) salt
2 tablespoons orange zest (from about 2 large oranges)
7 large egg yolks (120 grams), at room temperature
1/2 cup (120 ml/grams) vegetable, corn, canola, or safflower oil
1/2 cup (120 ml/grams)freshly squeezed orange juice (2 - 3 large oranges)
1 teaspoon (4 grams) pure vanilla extract
8 large egg whites (240 grams), at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) cream of tartar
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated white sugar (Sugar 2)

Method:
Orange Chiffon Cake: Separate the eggs while they are still cold. Place the egg yolks in one bowl and the whites (along with the extra egg white) in another. Cover with plastic wrap and bring to room temperature (about 30 to 60 minutes).
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and have ready a 10 inch (25 cm) two piece ungreased tube pan. (Don't use a non stick pan).

In the bowl of your electric stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, (or with a hand mixer) place the flour, 1 cup (200 grams) sugar (Sugar 1), baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Beat until combined. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg yolks, oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until smooth (about one minute). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

In another clean bowl of your electric stand mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the egg whites and cream of tartar, on medium low speed, until soft peaks form. Increase your mixer speed to high and gradually beat in the remaining 1/2 cup (100 grams) of sugar (Sugar 2) and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. With a large rubber spatula or wire whisk, gently fold the egg whites (in three additions) into the egg yolk batter just until blended (being careful not to deflate the batter).

Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. (When lightly pressed, the cake will spring back). Immediately upon removing the cake from the oven invert (turn upside down) the pan and place on a bottle or flat surface so it is suspended over the counter. Let the cake cool completely before removing from pan (about 1 1/2 hours).

To remove the cake from the pan, run a long metal spatula around the inside of the tube pan and center core. Invert onto a greased wire rack.

Good evening OMAD-ers 😘

It has been a glorious Spring day today at a nice temperature of 18°C. 👍🌞☀️ Thankfully, my fever subsided. 😁👍

As I have some leftovers, made sandwiches for DH and I. That's what I had for OMAD and finished off with Spicy Rice Crackers👍😁 The total calories =1106. Will be zumba-ing after my kids finish their karate lesson. Am waiting for them while typing this😁 Not doing too well with my liquid intake today😢 So far, only drank 1 pot of tea, 1 cup of coffee, 2 glasses of water... not enough, not enough.

Have a wonderful Tuesday, you guys ❤️

Found an interesting website and this is how I suppose to look like at 54.4kg and how I will look like when I reach my GW 50kg

@mistymeadows2005 - Thank you I hear what you are saying and I am trying so hard not be like so. Having a Mom who keeps telling me that I should really loose some weight or OMG, girl, why ain't you loosing any weight, etc, etc, etc ain't helping me much either. I have been trying to tell myself that I was 67kg before and now I am 54 something and I have successfully loss weight but when Mom comes for a visit, I am back to ground zero. Mom has always been a skinny slim lady and when she sees me like so, she will not allow me to forget how fat I am. Apologies for boring you with this

I guess I have to plus another 290 calories as I caved in and ate a slice. How come, you say? DH wanted Banoffee Tart and I made it from scratch for him. When he was savouring it, I tried my best to resist it but the calling for too strong😂😢🤣😭

Here is a photo of my Banoffee Slice

@volgirl1322 - Thank you for posting I hear what you are saying and I too want to be happy with me, myself and I. Long story short, Mom and her sisters were and still are slim and trim. Mom and my aunties have already ensured that my cousins and I are thin and slim. They watch our food, get us to do outdoor sports, etc. We have never been more than 45-48kg when we were at home. Things changed when I got married, got pregnant and move to another State. It was like a brand new life for me and I guess I spoiled myself and I ended up putting on weight. Mom only visited when she has holidays as she was a teacher. So, even with her insults, nags, etc, it was like one ear in and one ear out. However, when I became older and my health problems became an issue, I took my Doctor's advice and started loosing weight. I finally succeeded this year and my Doctor's is pretty happy about it and he told me to maintain once I hit 50. That's why that became my GW. When my parents retired, Mom decided to sell her house and buy another house just 10 mins from my house. So, 50 is the magic number as Mom has the same Doctor as my family. No point tell her how I feel as its either her way or no way. Tried countless or times and I finally gave-up. No worries....I will get there! I will be happy!

@SoulSisterSoulBrother - Thank you for posting too OMG, that's how she sounds. That's why I don't really go out and have any food with her as it will be a horrible depressing outing. So, Mom will just drop-by as and when she feels like it. However, during family gatherings, Mom will have her field day with me. As I am a pear-shaped, I can now wear size 6 clothes for my top half. However, for my bottom half, its still a size 8. So, once I get into size 6 for top and bottom, I will be happy and contented. It also means I will be around 50-51kg as that was the weight I was when I could wear a size 6 jeans. Really hope your Dad is not as bad as my Mom Sending to you
