Ok that is it. I returned to Curves today after a short break and Bimby has made me put on 5 kilos :o :o Enough. I have had it with Bimby :( :( No more yummies for me. Now where is that weight watching thread? Bron you are a bewdy. Helpful hints. Being it on. Making some low fat yogurt as I type. No alcohol for the rest of the month. Yikes :o :o

:D And now Bimby can help you lose it. ;)
-
Sounds like there is just more of you to cuddle Gretchen - don't worry about it ;) ;) Hope you had a good break - sounds like you did :-)) :-))
-
I've put on 6 kilos since Bimby in September - too many fantastic recipes to try, especially now DD is learning to cook. Must make better use of the freezer for leftovers.
The food is definitely still healthier - no preservatives, colours, chemicals - but need to reduce the quantity.

I know just what you are all saying. My scales have broken but I have gone up a size in clothing in the 9 months that I have had Thermie. My problem is all of the yummy recipes that appeal to my sweet-tooth and my lack of will power. I wasn't too concerned about the weight until my sister had a baby 9 weeks ago and is already back to a size 8 in clothing :-)). Although her weight loss is due to her very hungry booby-monster and a bout of gastro, it is still VERY rude! I've just finished making a batch of anzacs and some choc-banana muffins to take to her tomorrow. ;) :D ;)
-
Ditto all of the above. It is so hard not to eat. I love making cakes and cookies, I used to taste one and then send them off to DD work, but she has just changed her workplace. Hopefully they aren't all dieting and I can return to giving them cakes and cookies.
-
I have said it before - there should be a health warning on the pack !!! Damn thing - don't know how many kgs I can blame her for? BUT PLENTY .... :o :o :o

Sorry Gretchen - more serious note - check bron's tips: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1499.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1499.0)

Perhaps those of us that have 'found' some extra kilos need another TMX. Then we can run/walk round with one in each arm and do TMX lifting as the weights. :-\

Now that I'd like to see Cookie1. Just don't let anyone else see you though - you might find yourself locked away somewhere :-)) :-)) :-* :-*
-
Sure would, with a very straight jacket on. What a pity DD has left Psych wards and moved to Oncolgy.

I've had to start making 1/2 recipes. No room left in the freezers, garden producing, making jam, cooking up a storm with T,M.
-
It's hard Chookie when we have so many things we want to cook and not enough mouths to feed. I sometimes do 1/2 quantities but I have become very budget conscious lately (funny because there is no need to be these days) and figure if I can cook a meal and it lasts 2 days - one meal is free! I decided 12 months ago that I was spending far too much money on food and now I have pulled my head in. Only trouble is I cannot do it with meat and if it is on special, I have to have it. Once the freezer gets full though, that is it - I go into a different mindset and start working on emptying it again. I am dreading the day I go off food as a lot of people do when they get older - much, much older I am hoping.
-
Judy, I think you love food and making and cooking and planning and being active in this forum too much for to become a "non food lover"...
-
I hope so Barbara. This forum certainly inspires us to cook and create new recipes. I don't know how I lived without it pre-TMX days ;) ;)
-
JD, I don't think real foodies ever go off food and cooking. My mum was a true foodie, lived to 90 and was still cooking to the end. My Granny was a good home baker and i can remember watching her make tarts, if I was good I was allowed to sweep the floor when she had finished. Just keep interested and cooking.
-
I think I will need to be VERY OLD to go off food. I often feel my life revolves around it. With the forum and the TMX and planning and plotting what I'll do next and checking books and magazines. I love every minute of it.

What did they let you do if you were naughty Chookie ??? ??? ???
-
I think I was mostly naughty , and this was the problem. ;D
-
Apparently so was I Chookie :D :D :D I think I was just bored as a child and should have been born 60 years later as kids today seem to have so much more fun than I did and their parents actually do things with them. Gone is the 'you are to be seen and not heard' mentality which existed in my day.
