I am the first to admit exercise is not my thing.

I have managed to do 15 minutes on my exercise machine each morning and have increased to 17 minutes twice daily.
The morning one is not too bad but the evening one is a real struggle. I have other health problems which make it difficult to exercise.
I find a good way of getting through it is to put some upbeat music on loud, don't look at the timer on the machine and concentrate on the music and not the exercise. This seems to work and gets me through the work out fairly quickly.
My goal in to increase the exercise by two minutes each week.
Food eaten today;
28g Nestle Fruitful, 250ml semi skimmed milk, chopped banana
1 slice of wholemeal jam with 2 teaspoons jam
large jacket potato, 113g tuna, drained with very low fat cottage cheese
cherry tomatoes
cooked pasta with fat free dressing
muller light yogurt
green grapes & two plums
tonights meal - Chunky Beef Hotpot made from Slimming World recipe using Quorn beef pieces. Hotpot contains carrots, red pepper, stock, new potatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms.
Pudding - very low fat yogurt with strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, green grapes, plums.
total syns 6

Hi itsnowtime
re: your question about the groups.
I have just started going to a group in Kettering, been twice.
I went to weight watchers a while ago and was very disappointed - as they weighed everyone and then twenty minute group chat and that was it.
I really didn't feel like going to a slimming club as I am very shy and I have a great deal of weight to lose.
I took the plunge and am SOOO glad I went. The consultant gave me her undivided attention to explain exactly what slimming world was about, how much you could eat and how they encouraged people to eat as much as they like and have upto 15 syns per day.
The group had about 36 people, mainly women but two men in our group who stayed to body optimise. I was given a very warm welcome and didn't feel self conscious about my weight and was not stared at. I was accepted as one of the group. I enjoyed the group session so much. Our consultant made the evening a relaxing friendly time. There was also a raffle. This week we had an easter theme where the consultant made a few chocolate, cake recipes. We were also encouraged to bring our slimming world baking in if we wanted. We ended up with quite a spread. She had also bought a selection of easter eggs, hens eggs, easter theme presents for our raffle. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the next group on Tuesday. The classes last 1.5 hours and are a great time to socialise as well as lose weight.:j

i couldn't find the choc/orange ones in tesco but they are in somerfield. theres not much choc on them, just a drizzle on the top.
hi-fi mint bars are actually dipped in chocolate, but you can only have one, whereas you can have 2 alpen lights...so its up to you really
