Hello Kira! Good to see you - and everyone else. I shall pop by and subscribe to all your diaries once I work out how to use this forum properly. Apologies in advance for the typos - I can spell but I definitely can't type.
Just got home from work ( also known as the 'factory of human misery' ) and I've resisted the Jolly Ranchers that somehow have made their way into my bag. I'm piously sipping a herbal tea and feeling all virtuous. Today was my first day wearing my new apple watch and I daren't let it down by being a ****e dieter so I'm being good. Feeling positive about wedging my fat arse into my size 10 swimming costume in July ...
A bit about me - I lost a few stone back in 2012 and successfully kept it off, my usual weight is around 9 St 10- 10st 2 ish and I feel comfortable around that weight - preference being just a tad under 10. Unfortunately I became ill last year and as a result of that ( here come the excuses ) , I spent an awful lot of time assuming the horizontal on my sofa and gorging myself on kettle chips, cheese and cakes. I then perked up again in February of this year ( I had a kidney stone and it really was a terrible experience ) and am now a stone heavier than I like to be. Finding it hard to kick the sugar demon though, hence going hardcore for a while with Exante . The plan is then to return to my usual way of eating which is moderate carbs, no alcohol and no big fat cakes. I sound FUN don't I ?
Anyway another dribbling on for one night.. Looking forward to getti g to know all of you - and reacquainting with old friends

Hi I just saw the link to this site from Minimins... I used to post on there since 2011... last diet I used was Exante and my diary was in that section so makes sense to post here again. Wonder if a lot of the same people will appear?! LARA! Woot. So good to see you here xx

I can't believe the one active thread that was telling people where to go has been removed!? So many people won't know to come here!

Was so relieved to see you post and yes' I recognised your avatar! Hopefully Nat will find her way here as well as some others. I'd only just found your new diary on minis and then site kept crashing and next thing I know I couldn't post. I still can't understand why they closed it down in that way it feels very uncaring and insensitive. Anyway hopefully everyone has made it here.
Down to business once I've decided what vlcd (again) and this on and off has to stop!

Hi Kira and Serial and everyone! I was thinking I would never hear from you again at first!!
Yes I noticed that the thread that explained that this site is set up as an alternative has now been deleted. I dont understand why and if I had not logged in by chance yesterday I would have never known about this site and have forever wondered how the people I have met on minis are

Doh! Ladies I'm still useless at techy stuff and post in the wrong place at the wrong time! so relived to see many of you here!
GG like your can spell but seemingly not on here! I blame it on fat fingers?!i know you don't tolerate excuses so I will most definitely follow you once I get going again.
Can't believe minins removed the thread that points everyone to here! Yet left all the others?! Sorry but what kind of person would do that?! And why? That's so unkind!
Hopefully via mumsnet people will work out they can join food fighters.

I googled "where are minimins posting now?" And found a link to here via mumsnet (I'm not a member there tho) so hopefully others will do the same.

Ha ha kitty- am I familiar to you because I was being naughty on the boards or due to my most excellent and sage advice? Heh heh Lets just say we both got our wrists slapped for giving sensible advice to someone who has no sense.... Straight talking is the way to go, none of us needs a pat on the back for falling off the wagon!

I can't believe the one active thread that was telling people where to go has been removed!? So many people won't know to come here! Fair enough if they closed the thread, but to remove it and therefore the information to come here? That's uncalled for and flies in the face of the reasons Mini gave for the closure of the site. More than meets the eye I would guess. Still, as long as most folks eventually find their way here (which they may do after some time, Googling user names they used to know could point here - it did with my last 'forum disaster' ). Might be an idea for this place to be viewable by guests - allows the Googlebots to index stuff that can be searched
