THANKS !!!!



'Squooshy cream' is very descriptive of the aerosol propelled whipped
cream, too. Horrid stuff, but kids seem to like it...

Are these no points now? Only stringbeans of the 3 above were "no
point"
when I went to WW. Corn and peas, high in carbs were not FREE of
points.

In the UK corn and peas are one point for two tablespoons.

Oh, that's high! They're not that high here. I only eat them maybe once or
twice a week. I didn't even buy any this week. I did buy Pinto beans in a
can, and they're 2 pts for 1/2 a cup. Corn and peas are about the same. I
eat a lot of low-carb/low-point veggies like asparagus, string beans, summer
squash, spinach etc. I'm also eating baked fish several times a week. I've
lost 4 lbs so far. I am also walking 1 to 2 miles most days. I'll gradually
be increasing that both in speed and incline.

You are correct, they aren't strictly speaking zero points. Here in Oz we
have a little oddity with corn - one cob of corn is zero, but anything more
you have to count. I de-kernel a single cob and put that in my soup, ergo -
zero The peas I have to be a bit more careful with. I use a minimum
amount when I do use them. There were a few weeks a while back where I was
eating an entire 1lb bag of frozen peas and corn mix in the week. Surprise,
surprise I wasn't losing any. Lesson learnt - count the points of those
vegies!

To be entirely truthful I normally make a bean/lentil type soup with some of
the vegies mixed in. I count the points in that one, but I find the
addition of the pulses makes it "stick to the bones" better - I stay fuller
for longer on a smaller amount of soup (or stew by the time I'm done with
it).

Yes, it does seem high, but we have more vegetables that are zero
points, and a zero rated vegetables is always zero rated not matter how
much you eat. None of this 'one portion is zero, two you start
counting' stuff here.

I am much quicker at my walk than I used to be, and have added two
swimming sessions a week. I can't push it much higher without
aggravating various ails...

My favourite recipe for zero point soup:

1. Grab all the zero point vegies you have in the fridge and chop into
bite-sized pieces ( my favourites are broccoli, cauliflower, brussels
sprouts, carrots, beans, peas and corn).
2. Grab a can of tomatos and bring to the boil with some vegie or chicken
stock (enough to cover the vegies)
3. Put your vegies in the liquid and cook until they're done.
4. Add herbs as appropriate (I go for basil, oregano, rosemary and some
salt
and pepper).
5. You can blend all or part of the final product to make it smoother or
thicker if you like. I used to blend it, but have stopped bothering
'cause
it's nice just the way it is.

Pretty simple, and very easy to personalise!

Stoup is an excellent decription. I had a collegue ask me one day whether I
was eating soup or stew or something else. Now I have something to tell
them!

## Reminds me of the original plan from the 60s. :-)

## I know what you mean. I broke my knee about 2 years ago. It didn't
heal right so I had to go back for surgery. I was unable to walk far for
months. It's fine now but I still have to start slowly and work my way "up"
as well.

## I sure am! I measure out a "portion" according to my 1-2-3 Success
book and stick with that. After the first week a portion is really quite
enough. Fortunately for me I dearly love most of the FREE ones like
broccoli, stringbeans, cauliflower, cabbage.... Yum! :-) ~ I flavor them
up with a "sliver" of butter, chicken bouillon and some seasonings.

To be entirely truthful I normally make a bean/lentil type soup with some
of

## What a good idea and it sounds delicious!
I would probably sneak some really *lean* beef in there,... say about 2 Pts
worth. :-)))
