Back on the wagon - you only fail when you give up trying!! It has been a good couple of months since I have been on here. I haven't had the internet and a house move and a couple of stressful times has meant that my brain has been in the comfort eating mode. I don't seem to be quite as big as...

Frylite is a spray you can use for frying or spraying on things instead of using oil. You can get it from most supermarkets. The diet will be all explained to you when you go to your meeting. I make my own burgers out of lean mince and onion instead of buying them ( free on red days) and I make...

What do you like to eat now? It is usually easier to try and find ways of adapting what you already like. What sort of meals do you enjoy? Buy some frylite if you don't already have some because it makes a big difference and is an easy change.

It'll be a lot easier than you think because it is based on 'normal' unprocessed food. Upping fruit and veg, cutting out the rubbish and making little changes that make a difference. If I can do it anyone can as I have no willpower at all, I love my food and money is tight. I have a few things...

Hello R4j, I got myself into a bit of a cycle like that and it felt nearly impossible to get out of it. Once I found a way of getting rid of the guilt and changing the way I thought abut eating it became much easier. I've recently started following Slimming world again. It really does work and...

@ soccermom, I like a Gin and Tonic if the opportunity arises ( sadly not so often!) but they say that the clear drinks are the lowest in calories. It makes a change for me to prefer a lower calorie option of anything! I remember the awful concoctions I used to make after the pub when I was in...

@ soccermom I feel sick after 15mins SLOWLY jogging using a step so I know it will be bad but I'm sure it will make all the difference. My body doesn't stop wobbling for 5mins after I stop exercising though - it will be great to get rid of that side effect.

Hello Soccermom! Thanks so much for saying hello. This site seems to be giving me the boost I needed after stopping and starting again many times over the last year. How is the 'shred' going? I'm waiting for my DVD to arrive, I've become quite quite unfit though so I'm a bit scared!:eek...

I found your post by accident but I'm very glad I did because you are an inspiration. You should be very proud of yourself. I know you will do it!

Anybody know if the syn value for Chilli ketchup is the same as for normal? Daft question I know.:o

Thank you everyone for giving me a boost! I've been really struggling getting myself motivated as I haven't been losing recently. Reading your advice has got me going again...no more excuses and stretching the rules!

I'm so glad to find this thread. I'm new this morning to minimins but also to forums generally and I'm getting a bit confused. I can't afford to go to slimming world again either but I really need some motivation and support.
