10-17-19 Thursday Weigh-In...Fall Weather..Comfort Food?

[RobinCruiser]

@pacruise804 Here is the soup recipe. I usually double the recipe and then just add a tablespoon of each of the seasonings. I dice the veggies and don't puree the soup - my kids prefer it that way.. they didn't like the texture with some pureed.

That sounds really good - and I think I have most of the ingredients.  I probably wouldn't puree either.

Afternoon All.  Having a good week? Hope so.

 

Jan not at any ports you or Diana have on the same day. Just before or after each other.

Hope we all have good weather, Diana know you'll be hot in Mexico unless it's changed in a month.

Very humid. Hoping not so much in the Caribbean.

 

Everyone keep on doing what your doing to lose weight.

HEY..Where's Everyone?  Everyone alright?  Losing to many people..Why?

What can we add to make this more than a weigh-in board? Or is that enough?

Do we need more tips, hints, food recipe's, talk more? What? Really miss the men that came in

and gave what they did. (even when they lose faster) we all have the same challenges

in losing weight. 

Men, women, weight, height, clothes size..we're all different but the same.....

Wanting to lose weight and get healthy. May all have different diets, ways of eating........

Our goals are the same..

Hi Belle, I would love to see a recipe thread for people to share their favorites. That would be nice. Otherwise, I think we all stop in when we have time. I have missed Jasonmom - I don't think she has posted since her cruise which was the same week as mine.
