Weekly Weight Loss Weeks 58 and 59

I am at goal!!! Yes, really. I reached my weight loss goal last week. It's an amazing achievement and I'm so happy.

I did decide to change my goal for various reasons and got to 10st 8lbs. That's comfortably within my BMI, but the good news is that I can keep losing for a while. I think I will keep going, but only to give myself some leeway.

You can read all about my two weeks here and here.

I hope you're on your weight to your weight loss goals. Enjoy your Christmas and remember that you can lose weight at this time of year!

Weight Watchers Recipe: Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Image
The cold weather is closing in. It’s at the point where we’re looking at soups, stews and dishes to make in the slow cooker. We need something hot when it comes to dinner time. Image: Pixabay We decided to do a curried butternut squash soup, and I’ve got to admit that it is absolutely delicious. It’s definitely one to try again. The best thing is that you can make it as mild or as spicy as you want. We used a mild curry powder because my husband isn’t a fan of very spicy food, and neither is my daughter, really. If you’re on Weight Watchers, the recipe is zero points once split between six (the number it serves) and great for the Simple Start/Filling and Healthy plans. The only downside is the cooking time. It takes an hour to cook because the butternut squash needs softening to get the good stuff out of it. I’m making it again tonight, so I’ll make sure there is a photo of my efforts this time.

Why Eating Fruit and Vegetables Isn’t Enough to Lose Weight

Image
I received a message yesterday from someone looking for some weight loss support. She mentioned that she was eating lots of fruit and vegetables but still not losing weight. Okay, well, eating fruit and vegetables isn’t enough to lose weight. Yes, really! While eating fruit and vegetables can help—it certainly gets you your nutrients—it isn’t going to give you everything your body needs. In fact, too many fruit and vegetables can lead to weight gain. And you need to look at all the other stuff you’re eating! Be honest with yourself. So, let’s look at this in stages… Eating too much of a good thing is bad Yes, you really can eat too much of a good thing. Want to know why? Because you run the risk of not getting a balanced diet.
