Random question….Have any of you ever tied to make mashed potatoes out of cauliflower? I am told that if you boil cauliflower until it is really soft and then blend it with butter, salt, pepper and a little cream it is delicious and tastes just like mashed potatoes. I am going to try it in the next couple of days. I am just curious if what I heard is true.

Take it from an Irish woman nothing tastes like mashed potatoes except mashed potatoes. Why do you want to smush cauliflower anyway just have some tatties.
Alright, Sleepy! Way to go! We love our Wii Fit, and Mousoholic recently got the Wii Fit Plus, which gives you more options for tracking your progress and stuff. Keep at it... and as far as learning Spanish: felicidades por tu deseo, el aprender is muy importante!Sleepy90 wrote:I've tried all sorts of diets and lost weight then put it back on. I've decided the yoyo effect is not the way to go, so I threw another tack and just cut down the amount that I eat. Now I can eat anything I want but in smaller quantities and my weight never fluctuates more than 2lb either direction.
However my next challenge is a little more daunting lowering my BMI and for this I have enlisted the trusty WII Fit. I have four months to Disney so lets see what I can do. I'll keep you posted probably at monthly intervals, and just for good fun I'm trying to learn Spanish at the same time.
Congrats on your dual challenge. I think the Wii Fit would be helpful. My friends have it and I used it while they were on vacation. Did I like it enough to buy my own then, no, but it was fun...And good luck on learning Spanish. I would love to learn it as well but it is difficult when you have no one with whom to practiceSleepy90 wrote:I've tried all sorts of diets and lost weight then put it back on.

Congrats on keeping to your diet while on vacation! And sneaking in some exercise even though the weather wasn't cooperating.Mouseoholic wrote:...LOL, well the reason I asked is because potatoes have too much starch in them. Starch turns to sugar. For the next few months I am cutting out most starch and almost all sugar. I love cauliflower and was told this would be a good substitute. I love potatoes too much and could eat them at every meal. So finding a good replacement will help me keep things in balance when I get to my desired weight.

Anyone care to do better? Actually, the bandaid and kayak ones were pretty cute! Let's be honest, you would never be skinny enough for a cat to carry you around. They just wouldn't think that was part of their job [/quote]I think if you learn it a bit slower, it is more likely to stick in your brain! And practice, practice, practice...Sleepy90 wrote:...Thanks for the encouragement, I should have said it is a Wii Fit Plus that I have. As for the Spanish I am learning with Rosetta Stone very slowly may I add.
You are truly an inspiration NaCler...NaCler wrote:As an update, I am down 2 more lbs. Total of 35 out of 50!
