    I am currently having instant porridge every morning I'm at work, but I don't think that the 'instant' stuff is very good for me, and certainly isn't natural.

    I don't really know what you mean by "instant" porridge, but you can make any porridge in the microwave in a few minutes. The oat-so-simple packs are a perfect size and help you measure the milk, but once you get used to it you can save money and just buy a big sack of porridge oats.

    The only possibe down-side is the fact that if you don't soak the oats overnight you really have to make porridge with milk rather than water, but skimmed works.

    I used to be bad for skipping breakfast (so starving by lunchtime and ate way too much :rolleyes:) but I've recentl started having porridge and a glass of fruit juce every morning - has totally removed my urge to snack through the day :T

    Oh, I did my first weigh-in on Sunday so am pretty happy with -1lb.

    Edit: Re porridge, I like it thick so I tend to skimp on the milk and cook it for en extra minute (stir half way thourgh). I'm also Scottish so salt not sugar ;)

    Hey Beanie - 2lbs:T
    Well done Margaret, it's very interesting following your determination to get to the bottom of why you are not losing weight and what you are now doing. Very pleased you are seeing results so soon:j
    Eric = no longer obese:beer::j:j. Brilliant achievement.

    I am still sts pls Fred. I've started looking for an outfit for the wedding and not sure if I will lose any more or not. I would like to get this 8lbs off but I'll ive what I am doing now a few more weeks. It doesn't feel a huge priority.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once
