Hello from Melbourne!
« on: December 09, 2011, 11:06:00 am »
A littlebit about myself:I am  single, haven't been doing much cooking in the past 12 years. Simply wasn't motivated. It was easier to have take away after a hard days work and eat out on the weekends. As a result of having over processed food 7 days a week I became overly over weight. A friend of mine introduced me to thermomix by inviting me to a TM party. Seeing what it can do made me realise that I could change my life and maybe became slimmer and healthier again. Now, I 've had  my thermomix close to a month and have used it every day! Looking forward each day to get home and cook something. The first two weeks dropped a dress size without "being on a diet". Ate as much I could each day simply because loved the meals I've made - i mean the thermomix made. Not trying to take credit for the wonderful meals it make. Have to admit decorated the ceiling since I have it, but I was warned about that..lol. Anyway, looking forward to chatting to you all!
Cheers,

Hello Dragonfly, welcome to the forum.  You are well on your way to a healthier way of eating and the results speak for themselves.  You must be thrilled to bits to have achieved that in such a short time.  Takeaway will be pretty repulsive to you after cooking with the TMX - you cannot compare the fresh taste and flavours to that of fried, greasy takeaway. Congratulations on your efforts so far, I hope you continue to be motivated.

Well done dragonfly! I'm new here too. Will be great for you to enjoy cooking and funnily the better it tastes the more proud of it you will be... Hence the more motivated to keep it up. Cooking is a lot like that. Everyone has got to love a tasty meal!

Congratulations dragonfly on the weight loss. TMX is wonderful for getting back to basics and cooking for a lone person. What sort of things have you made? DD has a couple of friends who only use theirs for cocktails and say they can't cook with it.
