Hi all Jigsaw Unit dieters,

I have read all your posts with interest as this seems like a fantastic new diet but I can't get much info from their website at the moment so I was wondering if I can bother you with some silly questions???

Do you go to a class? or did you opt for the membership with email & phone support?
Did you go for the starter pack with no additional support?
How easy is it to follow? What are the average losses? Would I gain going straight on it from CD?

I am on CD at the moment but don't feel that this is a sustainable (sp?) long term diet, don't get me wrong it has been fantastic for me and it definitely did what is says on the tin but as I work my way through the stages I need to find a different plan that will work for me. I have tried WW and SW before and wanted to try something new.

I am also finding it so hard to lose the last stone on CD.

Sorry for my nosey questions.

Hope you all have good weeks

LENNY4974 · 10th August, 2007

I am so sorry for hijacking your thread Lou-Lou, I actually meant to start a new one but obviously I am not awake enough this morning to watch what I am doing.

Congratulations on the fabulous loss this week by the way - absolutely amazing. You must feel fantastic

lou-lou · 10th August, 2007

Hi Lenny, don't apologise. I'm forever hijacking other threads and don't realise i'm doing it!

Sarah, glad your pack arrived....are you excited about starting. I was really excited, like a kid at xmas

I've not had much chance to post for the past few days so i'm sorry for not getting on here much. I'm still enjoying following the unit diet, and even though i'm still quite new to it I feel like this is the diet I will stick with and get to goal with. It suits me, I love bread and find giving it up or having to eat nimble or such brands is just like torture. I love that on this diet I can have normal bread, white or wholemeal with no guilt. I also like the fact that I can have unlimited milk as I am a tea-tank and get through about 15 cups of tea each day.

One of the js forum members recommends having a whole box of jaffa cakes should you ever get that 'need to eat chocolate and cake' craving. A whole box is 4 units, which out of 10 daily units seems a lot, but it's not actually that bad. I did it last night and it was fab! I felt very naughty but stayed within my daily units so felt really proud of myself. A whole box of jaffa cakes is not the healthiest way to lose weight, but it stopped me grabbing the ben&jerry's out of the freezer so it was a necessary evil

Yesterday I had my full 10 units, but most days i'm having 8-9. I try to save a unit or 2 each day so that I can have a bottle of wine on a Friday evening

a bottle contains 9 units, so by having 8 units Sun-Wed and 9 units Thursday I can have my proper 10 units on a Fri and a Sat plus a bottle of wine! Again, not the healthiest way to lose weight, but I figure 16+ stone was not the healthiest way to live my life.

Anyway, Friday is here (hooray) I am finishing early today so starting to countdown the last 40 mins!! Getting ready for big brother tonight with my bottle of Merlot

Have a great weekend everyone.

Love Lou xxx

I am quite excited and feeling really positive about starting as well.

Monday is here again

God, I hate my job, I hate mondays, I hate pms, I hate travelling 30 minutes to get to work, I hate the smell of chippy chips while the others eat their lunch, I hate being big. Ggggrrrr.

So how's everyone feeling today? I'm in a fabulous mood

My boss is driving me mad. She treats me like an idiot. I have had soft tortillas for my lunch filled with Asda Mexican Chicken breast, sour cream (just a tsp in each tortilla!!!) fresh coriander and loads of lettuce. Feel stuffed!

Got a ready to eat sugar free jelly for pudding

Still feeling positive about this diet, although don't think i'm on for a whopper weight loss this week. It looks like 1½ lb off up to now, so i'm hoping for 2lb.

I'll let you know!!

Love Lou xxx

LENNY4974 · 13th August, 2007
