So do I, but I've only just converted OH! Never tried it in soup before, I thought it might retain too much structure to blend down, but when I'd bought a huge bag on offer for £1, and it was still half full after we'd had it as a veg three times....

Yes i have to say they are tasty Ianbilly. Bought a small tray of 8 indivually wrapped from Asda. Made with Whitefish and smoked atlantic salmon. Each stick is only about 2&1/2" long. Not tried them before but glad I did. Neither have I bought the celery, nut & sultana salad, 300g tub, again from Asda. Both might be cheaper elsewhere tho! I needed a change from what has become a mundane diet! Hope you enjoy if you buy them. Take care

Keep going Ditto, you may succeed on another day. Do you do stretching exercises to help dwindle your waist? They would help shift an inch or two if you practiced every day. Its working for me, but its slow. Keep chin up if you can & think positive. Take care

I can't believe what y'all get away with eating. I think it's great. If I tried that I'd be in double figures and weigh another ten stone.

Hi @Ditto. It might seem like we are all eating a lot but bear in mind 'portion size'' is paramount. If I may say, if you reduce your portion size even if it's just a little bit to start with, I'm sure you'll notice a difference even after say one-two weeks albeit small. It's not easy especially if you're feeling hungry! It's a case of training our brains to inform our stomachs what it can/can't eat & how much. We can all go overboard once in a while with portion sizes or a treat. Exercise is another thing to remember. I would suggest that you start off slowly & build up. Once in the habit of exercising in whichever form you choose it does becomes easier & not such a hardship & can even become enjoyable. For my part I actually look forward to pedalling away on my exercise bike now & doing my daily stretching exercises. My weight plateau'd in December but found stretching exercises helped me to shift those extra unwanted inches especially round the middle and waist☺I have lost 7inches from my waist & an overall inch loss of 14&3/4" to date through diet & exercise. I would also say a little/or lot of patience & dedication is useful towards an effort to achieve target weight & measurements. Hope this has helped & good luck. Take care. Wirralass x
