Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Hi Suzy, That's a fantastic weight loss, well done u! I hope I can do just as well, 4 stone is my target, but if I lose anymore then that would be fab. My box arrived today, and can't wait to start. Am starting Sunday as have a wedding tomorrow, so may as well get that out the way first. My fiancé is doing the Cambridge diet, think he was a little but envious when he saw my food for the next 2 weeks!! Think he's more envious of the pork crunch snack!! Lol! Lou xx |

I remember before I started I had to get other things out the way first, like my birthday! I was very into my pork crunch to start but now I am not so bothered. I used them as my crisp substitute but now I don't feel the urge. How is it going so far? I am sure hubby will want to change as soon as he sees how you are doing.

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Hi The wedding was lovely thanks, made the most of a few glasses of wine!! Next hurdle is my birthday in 6 weeks. So far its going ok - day 2 now. I am really enjoying the food so far, just have to decide what I'm going to have for dinner now! Did you have veg with your meal or just eat it on its own? and did you snack at all on plain chicken/prawns etc if you were hungry or did you just stick to the meal packs? Sorry for all the questions! My fiance keeps eying up my food saying 'that looks nice'! Dont think it will be long until he starts on it, especially if he sees good results from me! Lou xx |

The nights I don't stick to their food I have plain chicken instead, which I love. Also I may have a bolied egg for lunch. Funny after saying yesterday I don't have the bacon crunch very often anymore I did open a packet today. I am sure hubby will change, especially when he sees the treats you get!!! Your birthday will be fine, because by then you will have seen the difference and you will wanat to keep it going. That is how I got by over xmas. Don't forget, look at the drink suggestions they recommend. I think there were some ideas listed with the notes I got when I got my first batch of food. I am just trying to think what I will go for tonight. Somenights I just play lucky dip in the box! As soon as the kids are asleep I shall go and choose.

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Had my first weeks weigh in and have lost 7lb, really pleased. rainbow27; I am on my second week now, and I have also done Cambridge in past - lost 3 stone, it went back on plus more. I have signed up for a 20week programme and it costs me Ł240 per month, you still have to buy extras like veg and yoghurt, cream etc....and there is a no refund policy. If you can pay upfront for the full course you get a discount, and could save about Ł200ish. The food is really nice, and although a lot of money I feel that it will be a lot more sustainable after I have finished. The customer support team are great and are on the end of the phone if you need them too. |

Rep Power: 49 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Diet: GoLower Start Date: 21 Jan 2010 Start Weight: 212lb Goal Weight: 137lb | Hi I'm also doing Go Lower. This is my 3rd week so far. First week lost 5lbs and last week 4lbs, so really pleased. I find the food is really tasty and adding the yogurt and fruit is great. I love my fruit so it really helps knowing I can eat it. Also if I find I want something a bit more, I like to have plain chicken as SuzyK says. I've done loads of different diets over the years and so far this has been the easiest to stick too. Obviously we all have our bad days, but somehow, with Go Lower it seems easier to be able to pick yourself up after a bad day. Good luck xx |

BMI Information: Start BMI: 46.6 Current BMI: 34.8 Goal BMI: 23.8 Statistics: Total Weight Loss: 71lb Weight to Lose: 66lb % Lost 25.36% | Hi Rainbow Since I have been on Go Lower I have been sticking to the diet really well now and I eat proper food, and if I want snack they are all supplied. I don't do any exercise, (except try to run around after too young boys, which is getting easier as the weight comes of.) I drive everywhere, I have even had comments in the past that if I park a short way from where we are going, friends and hubby have said do I want a taxi to take me the 2 minute walk to get me there. Our weekly shopping bill has been reduced by a lot as because I am such a fussy eater, and don't cook, hubby would cook for the boys and then a meal for him and a meal for me. Now all I do is put my meal in the microwave, heat, stir and heat again and in less than five minutes I have my meal on the plate. It really couldn't be any easier. In addition to the food supplied by Go Lower I will sometimes have plain chicken, I also have natural yougurt with the Go Lower breakfast and also boiled eggs, supplied by our chickens! Well done Louise and Hchappyh, with your weight loss so far, you should be really proud of yourselves. Rainbow, if you have any questions I will of course try to answer them but if you call Go Lower they are also really helpful. I get a call every week from my personal consultant to see how I am doing and also I can call them anytime I need to, which I have done once or twice.

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | I have lost another 2lbs, which it makes it 9lb in 2 weeks, really pleased with that, especially as its TOTM, and can normally put on at this time. Well on target for my stone in a month, would be good if I could lose towards a stone and a half, but we shall see!!! Am going to Australia at the beginning of April for a month, and would really like to have lost at least 2 stone by then. |

Got to ask as it is my favourite country, where abouts in Oz are you planning on going? Hi Dezzie, Can I just say it is great to see other Go Lower dieters on here. Well done on your loss as you are also doing great.
