Before i pop off today i thought i'd share a no point stew recipe with you all. No point means you can eat as much of it as you want and it has no affect on your weight( other than help you loose it!) One can of chopped tomatoes( asda do some with garlic or herb and they are nice for flavour) chopped carrots, chopped corgettes, chopped onions, chopped leaks, peas, water, and any herbs you like the taste of. put it all in a pan(if you don't like an ingredient you can miss it out or add in any root veg you like,) boil and then simmer until it's all cooked and add a couple of stock cubes, any flavour. your stew is now ready. you can eat it how it is or blend it up to make a thick soup. for desert try a sugar free jelly, as much as you want as this is also point free. GOOD LUCK LADYS, will see you all next tues for your weigh in. xxx

nooo donna...im not.. i have always eaten to live:)..not lived to eat:) more fat on a chip than on me:) plus im fortunate to have active job too:)

anyone got any ideas for me....i seem to eat rubbish when am at work as cant think of anything simple can take to work,sandwich too boring,there is nowhere to heat nanything up either

thermos with warm soup in donna:) can take anything warm to work then. i often do:)

What about a salad made with pasta, rice or cous cous Donna?

i did once take a rice salad to work but it tasted horrid when it came to eating it

Have you tried tortilla wraps as an alternative to sandwiches? I don't know what the calories/fat content are but they come in lots of different flavours

another tip!!!!! If u really cant go with out choc those little chomp bars are the best to have,they only cost about 15p each too!

If you have little children like me DO NOT eat their leftovers. I do it without even thinking. All those half eaten biscuits mount up!!

this is how many calories 30 mins of the following loses Low Impact Aerobics 192 Ballroom Dancing 96 Cleaning 114 Hiking 214 Inline Skating 192 Line Dancing 312 Running(9 min mile) 360 Sex 85 Stair Stepping 206 Swimming 237 Tennis 204 Walking(20 mins mile) 150 Yoga 100

Donna, trying to find someone to keep going for 30 mins of the last suggestion might be difficult!!!! lol
