Hi all, wondered if anyone had a nice recipe for this? all the ones i have tried to far seem a bit bland. I am fancying spaghetti at the end of the week but all the basic recipes ive tried seem a bit tasteless!

I know how you feel hun and its so easy to let your feeling down effect your eating but dont let it, you have done so well. I know it sometimes feels impossible but just look at these boards and the inspiration on here. it can be done and you can do it as you have shown already with your weight...

good luck! Hope it goes well for you!

hi all, i have logged on through my computer for the first time to the minimins site instead of through my mobile as i usually do and i cant find my previous food diary so thought id start another!

Hi everyone, thanks so much for the advice :-) I did go along to my meeting in the end....well I went to weigh! I'm a bit miffed actually cos according to my sw scales I lost 5lbs whereas mine says I gained 1lb - that's a massive 6lb difference! I have a feeling my meeting ones are wrong though...

Hi everyone, after 8 weeks on the diet and only losing 7lbs I decided to join a meeting last week. Because my local leader wasn't great I went further afield and found another meeting where at first weigh in the leader seemed ok, much more organised at least! Anyway week started off well but...

Hi I made this soup few weeks back but think the baked beans ruined it! Does everyone use the normal Heinz beans 400g can? I was thinking of trying it again without the beans as too sweet otherwise

Hi Zinz, plan was going really well until this evening. Went to my uncles and he insisted we ate fish and chips with him! I think it will b ok though as planned rest of week so will have a few days without syns and throw in some exercise - try and get out of the "I've blown it mentality" How's...

Thanks Zinz, in the end amazingly I stayed the same. Written up a plan for the week. I've felt same in meetings b4 too so gonna try stick to it on my own for a while longer. Here's hoping we both have good weeks! Good luck.

Hi Zinz, I know how u feel, so much for me getting out the I blown it attitude! This weeks gone to pot. Gonna go weigh myself in a min, dreading it! I'm debating joining my local meeting but my leader there is not great but wondering whether it will give me more motivation. Not sure.....

Naughty naughty! I've had three terrible days on diet so far - I don't know why, no excuse for it really. V disappointed in myself as really wanted to get into next weight range this week. I was wondering if I try really hard over next three days with some exercise thrown in maybe I could manage...

Thanks Zinz, tea went well in the end. Had a little bit to eat and some v naughty rice pud but wasn't too bad. How was ya dinner? Had my proper weigh in on Sunday and following returning to eating my loss was 5lbs. I'm hoping that it stays off now as to date my losses have been quite small...

Welcome and good luck bailey!

No probs Zinz :-) how did your day go? My appetite has returned today! Trying not to overdo it though and focus on healthier things. Bit wary of anything to rich at the mo! Got my nieces bday sun - 1 year old and think my bro planned small party so will have to b careful there. Hope u and...

I should add I've also had dreams when I've started a new diet then been forced to eat rubbish - bizarre right? Think fear of wanting it so much and failing especially if it's not your first attempt at a new diet !

Hi ZinZ, I also wake up with this feeling sometimes, normally into my third/fourth week. Try make sure on these days you have ALL your food 'scheduled' for the day so your just eating off your food diary. In your head it's kinda like a challenge to stick to it more on those days. Try and avoid...

Hi Zinz If only weight would fall off that fast normally lol i don't expect it to stay off once start eating normally which hopefully is soon as my appetite is returning but that's fine. Im just glad pain has gone and i can eat! I was just shocked! Pain was horrendous and hope it doesn't return...

Hi all! Sorry not been around few days. This week I have had an amazing loss of 7lbs in 3days! mainly due to having incredible stomach pains so I couldn't eat or walk!! so not so good and expect it will come back on once I can eat properly. I don't mind as long as the pain doesn't come back...
