Hi Marion ~

First off, CONGRATS on the weight loss! Way to go! You're over half way to

your goal.

Yes, it is very hard to eat hot meals when it's blazing outside. The summers

where I live gets quite warm too. Lots of salads and lighter meals. Right now

though it's cold & rainy out so it's been soups galore! :-)

Welcome to our group!

Marion and I live in a smallish country town in Western Australia.

I'm 47 years old, happily single, on a disability pension and in the process

of losing weight. I have lost 14 kilos (about 31 pounds) so far and have 9

5 kilos (21 pounds) to go to get to my goal weight. I started this as I am

a diabetic and was told I would have to go onto insulin injections. I have

now actually lowered the dose of the tablets I was on twice and the doctor

is saying there is a chance I could be able to completely control the

diabetes by diet and exercise only.

I am semi vegetarian...at the moment the only thing stopping me going

completely vegetarian is my love of grilled chicken breasts which I eat a

lot of. I am hoping that I will learn some recipes...that are easy to make,

that will replace them in my diet - I love the convenience of grilling

chicken. In Winter, which it is NOT here, I eat a lot of home cooked soups

and also do a lot of tvp dishes but in Summer I don't really want either of

those very often. I love to cook with tvp as it's so low calorie...I was

able to get 10 kilos of it really cheap a few months ago so will be eating

it for a long time! It is very hot where I live - currently 41C (106F) as

I type this so you can see why I don't want hot meals often.

I look forward to getting to know you all. Marion from " down under "
