Vickie - nope! Just buy a spaghetti squash! They're usually 99cents a pound. You bake them in the oven, whole, for 1 hour! And then cut it open, and you literally scrape it out with a fork and it looks like spaghetti! And just put whatever spaghetti sauce you like on there! And just calculate the points for the sauce! But it saves you like 4 points that you'd use on pasta, and you get more!

 

[Vickie]

I'll have to look for one next time we're at the store

Hi everyone

Feel rubbish and craving chocolate so not expecting a loss on fri just hoping to STS.

 

[Vickie]

Pinky I had the chocolate cravings to, managed to stay within my points limit though and still lost weight last week

not sure about this week, I'm bad I weigh every morning and it doesn't look like I've lost yet this week

I do understand though, last weekend we were bad for our anniversary and I felt horrible afterward it's amazing how quickly you get used to eating the healthier foods isn't it?

My favourite 0-Points soup is butternut squash, 1 red onion, a couple red peppers and a couple of carrots, covered in stock then purreed. Lots of chilli powder.
Yummy!

just don't add broccoli ;-)
I did that once and turned out horrible *yuck*
And I love, LOVE broccoli but just couldn't handle it pureed

Panda - that's basically what one of the soups is! Just a whole bunch of veggies in broth! I used do, 1800ML of Chicken Broth (I buy 2 of the 900ml campbells ones!), a can of diced tomatoes, about 1 TBSP of tomato paste, green beans (fresh, frozen or canned all work! i just use whatever we have on hand, and i have enough of!), part of a bag of coleslaw (i find this easier than having to cut it up myself! LOL), some carrots, onions, a bit of garlic! I know the recipe calls for zucchini but I'm not a fan!
Sometimes I throw in some peppers too!
It's the easiest thing to make, then I just freeze it in containers, and it lasts me 3 or so weeks!

Oh, and the spices they usually want in there is Thyme and Basil I believe, and ofcourse a bit of S&P!

 

[Vickie]

would it be okay to leave the cabbage out? I'm not a big fan of the stuff

on another note dinner was really good!

 

[Panda_Ally]

Thanks for all the input girlies!! I'll give it a go tommorrow and see how it goes!! x

 

[nataliecn]

Yeah you can! I just really enjoy it! It doesn't really taste like cabbage in the soup! Or atleast not to me, but I guess it is different if you don't like it...
We had Dijon & Lime Chicken, it was very yummy!!

 

[Vickie]

I am such a picky eater that's why I never figured WW would work for me

 

[nataliecn]

Oh no! THat's the main reason I love it! Because if I really want McDonalds, or whatever, I can... just means I'm not gonna get much else in the way of food for the day! ahahah!

Are you a big veggie person?? I know the NO NAME Fat free sour cream, or the Selection (Metro, etc) Fat Free Sour Cream is 0 points for 2 TBSP... and they have the little Club House seasonings that do "dips and dressings".. You just mix them in... I use them all the time, so that I have something to dip my veggies in .. I'm not a fan of plain veggies in a lot of cases, so it works great for me! And no points for 2TBSP!
