My poor chap had little choice, 22 years ago we met and quickly found our strengths, I do starters and main courses (i.e. the majority of the cooking :) He keeps the house and does fantastic desserts. He didn't know he was being MFP'd until he had to tighten his belt (which btw I have now inherited) But seriously he knew…

Personally prefer mine smooth, Ok some chest/happy trail. Hairy back and shoulders warrant a immediate salon trip for waxing or sugaring. Junk..... No question........ Shave, wax, sugar, veet, just deal with it.

They freeze very well, defrost thoroughly, re-heat at 200celcius for 5 to 7 minutes. I open freeze in baking. Parchment then decant to an airtight container. Keep happily for 3 months in freezer.

Make a truly indulgent looking (and tasting) dessert. Take a classic martini glass. Frost the rim by rubbing with lemon then dipping in caster sugar (it's decoration you don't have to chip it off and eat it!) Put a teaspoon of lemon curd in the bottom and smooth out Mix Greek yoghurt (i use Fage 0%fat) , the grated zest of…

Calories? Daily target? Calories for each element? Would be much more helpful if your own diary was open for browsing too BTW. :smile:

I have had similar results with vegetable soups. Simply adding potato, cauliflower, many of the winter roots etc will bump up the calories very quickly. The only answer to understanding why the soup looks like "a lot of calories for a soup made of nothing but vegetables" is to see the ingredients and their weights. I keep…

Been there, done that, weight watchers 0 point foods, red days, green days, cabbage soup etc etc. The ONLY success I have had is very simple, everything that isn't water gets logged and counted. Yes I even log a teaspoon of herbs or spices! Keep it simple. One rule. EVERYTHING COUNTS Simple. :wink:

Bump. Inspirational. :flowerforyou:

Stick with it..It is a distance race not a sprint. Some weeks I lose, some weeks I don't, if I don't. I usually have a bit of an inkling as to why, so I just make sure I drink the water, eigh and log everything. I just look st the bottom line.. .38 pounds since October and 6 inches off waist and i know it works. One pound,…

Replace the zucchini with shredded cauliflower, add a tablespoon of mild curry powder Follow the same recipe and timings They are amazing! Ok it takes calorie count up to 30 each. But they taste Sooo good. Enjoy :smile:

Tried all sorts from WW cabbage soup. The one that worked for me - and continues to work is based on - calorie defecit calculation. It boils down to making choices but nothing is forbidden, nothing removed from the available foods. See it, check the label, measure the portion, log it, decide if it fits your own goals, if…

Arctic roll. Even better is arctic roll with deliah smith's mars bar sauce!

Number one rule, loose leaf not bags, treat yourself to a tea infuser, they come in all shapes and sizes but basically allow you to brew leaf tea without the need for a tea pot Number two rule, NO MILK, lemon if you must, but why destroy such a delicately refined infusion. Earl grey with its slightly perfumed flavour is my…

I just have to use that line. It'll be gin rather than tequila though!

What a refreshing post! I use the line "no I'm not dieting, I'm doing basic mathematics" Weigh it, log it. Read the label, log it Eat it, log it Move it, log it. Simple sums made easier by this app.
