Hi kezzer!
It's all about commitment isn't it! I am two months in, and yes the tablets help...but when it's all said and done I'm leearning it's all down to me and the choices I make. If you stay focussed I'm sure you'll manage to lose the 5 stone this time...if you have a slip, remember that's all it is...a slip - and start again!
I love chicken! But fish is also good - white mainly but I treat myself to salmon once in a while (but only wild....farmed has 'side-effects'!!!)...and I often eat veggie meals - tonight I am having a veggie curry (it's in the slowcooker at the moment and smells delish!)...one of my favourites with fish is those steamer bags you can get - pop fish and veggies in, add a splash of liquid, wine is good!seal the bag... and then microwave for 5 minutes and it's done!...oh and I couldn't cope without low-fat suasages once in a while!I might try your blancmange pud idea at the weekend...I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but I love my savoury snacks!

Hi & welcome!
Have you read the sticky thread that explains the "rules" although you maybe already know them if you've done it before. I found xen made me make the right food choices (I've been off them since February) which got my head in the right place & has got me where I am now (6.5 stone down).
Good Luck with your journey xx

How do I make my sauces for curry?......dry fry an onion (or use thta fry-light spray - just a touch is needed), add 1 teaspoon each of cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and mustard seeds, add a knob of ginger (about 4cm long, peeled and grated) and a chilli (chooped finely - leave seeds in if you like a hot curry), cook for a minute or so and then add about 200 ml stock (from a cube is fine - and much less fat than making your own and skimming it!) , pop in a cinammon stick (remember to fish it out again before serving the curry!)...and that's it...you can then add your meat and veg and cook them in this sauce.
If you have a slowcooker - then just put everything in together!
And I adapt the recipe depending on what sort of curry I want...sometimes I add tomato puree and chopped tomatoes...or loads more onions and some garlic...or a little 'light' coconut milk (but remember the sauce is virtually fat-free until you add this!)
