If it wasn't for minimins I wouldn't have known......

Minimins is so useful for support and advice and I was just thinking how there is stuff I wouldn't have known I don't think if it wasn't for minimins (despite the fact I pay membership and go to group etc)! I was wondering what other people have found invaluable from this site?

For instance if it wasn't for minimins I wouldn't have known about magic porridge.....
 
i agree i wasnt aware that if you had porridge without the scan bran then you had to syn the oats.

This is a misconception, if you don't have the scan bran you don't have to syn the oats but you can't swap the scan bran for anything else.
 
There's lots of things I wouldn't have known if not for this place :)
 
If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have known just how many misconceptions there are out there!!! Like above for example......

I must say, this site is invaluable for support and I've made some wonderful virtual friends and the recipes people submit are superb.

I love it :)

Totally agree with all the above! :D x
 
I can pin it down to individual posters!!

e.g. if it wasn't for Jaylou I wouldn't know about Highlights dark chocolate (I still remember the original post saying it was better than Starbucks!) and if it wasn't for StaceyUK (remember her?) I wouldn't know about Pagen rolls with chopped egg and bacon, and if it wasn't for FrugalFifer I would have never heard of the 'resist' list (make a list of everything you DIDN'T eat in a day and add up the syns- it always makes you feel better)

Thanks to my minimins friends past and present!

Paid the extortionate price for an online subscription with no support for a girl in the USA! I found this place in a desperate search for support. Amazing. And free! And wonderful supportive people.
 
ooh cocktailprincess i love you!! I'm addicted to pagen rolls and had never thought of having them with egg and bacon.... hot or cold?!

And I totally agree Jaylou is a star!!

I boil the eggs, then put them in a bowl and mash 'em up- (with some light mayo if required) and snip up the bacon into it- hot or cold - either way it is ace

And yes, Jaylou rocks my world too
 
I wouldn't have known......

To mix options sachets into no fat natural yoghurt makes the nicest chocolate cream dessert ever.

That I had all this wonderful support open to me from people who genuinely care and want to help people they've never even met - love you guys.

That I can look up the syn value for almost anything and get some awesome recipes.

:) :) :)
 
i wouldnt have known that you can have Waitrose Porridge with Wheatgerm and then you wouldnt have to have yucky scan bran.
 
I've just read the above posts ... the resist list sounds like a great idea ... what a great way to keep you on track and feel virtuous ... liking it!!
