I've been a little quiet here recently. I have struggled a little with my eating since last Thursday, but I have been slowly getting back on track! Minimins has changed!!

I hope you like them, it would be a really good alternative!

I think I have seen these actually! The site that I just found them on were a little expensive, but let us know what you think about them and I may reconsider!

That is my favourite soup out of them all, love it! I am so pleased for you with your doctors visit, you should be so proud! And well done on the gym too, no pain no gain they say!! I actually like the achey feeling because it reminds me how hard I have worked at the gym (which isn't often!)...

Thank you! Oh my god no that sounds brilliant, where can I find it!? I've had a good day today mostly because I've been so busy! B - Porridge with some blueberries and a cup of tea L - strawberry milkshake S - Blueberries D - Chicken korma with some rice and 1 maryland biscuit Got a snack...

Day 11 (I think) B - Plain porridge with a few blueberries and a cup of tea S - Yogurt L - Coconut and sweet potato soup (yum!!) and a cup of tea D - Chilli with some brown rice and some strawberries for dessert S - DC apricot and orange bar and a lighter choices hot choc S - 2 maryland...

Hi Phoenyx, how are you getting on this week?

A mile a day is brilliant! I am getting faster so I will start doing more lengths to make up for it. I've been a bit peckish tonight, I've had: D - Chicken thai curry, satsumas, lighter choices hot chocolate and the apricot snack bar!

Thank you lots2lose :) I am determined this week will be better than last! And I have found that I love swimming in the mornings to wake me up! How have you got on today?

Oh and I did a half mile swim this morning, how could I forget that!!

Yep that's it lots2lose just got to keep going! Today is going well for me so far: B - Original muesli bar and a cup of tea S - Blueberries L - Smoked bacon and bean soup and a yogurt

Well done lots2lose that's great! Well done on going to the gym on a Sunday topcat! We are going for a family meal tonight so hopefully I will pick sensible choices - I may have a look at the menu before hand. This week I am really going to try hard to cut out snacking on fruit and...

Hello, weigh in was this morning and lost 2lbs so happy with that considering i have been snacking too much!! Good luck for your weigh in on Sunday let me know how you get on? And have a good night out!

Thank you you are very nice. I am feeling much better this week and a lot less bloated so I am happy about that. That's great news, glad you enjoyed your course!

The popcorn is great and lasts a long time cause there is quite a lot in the bag! Hope your day is going well :)

Oh very exciting! Hope you enjoyed the course today. I weighed myself this morning but on scales that I can't read properly but from a glance it does look like I have lost something which put me in a good mood and the day went soo well with eating... then I had a stressful journey home and...

Ohh a waxing course that sounds interesting! Are you a beautician? And you are right, I normally just give up after a week so as long as I keep going hopefully everything will go to plan! Thanks Pheonyx, I am sure you will get used to it soon enough and will be able to go off when your body...

4lb loss is brilliant well done you! What worked for me when I wanted to eat was keeping myself busy until the feeling passed. To be honest I seem to have been trying to lose this 2 stone for years so I can't see myself being at target so I haven't given it too much thought yet, I think I will...

Ignore yesterday, everyone has blips move on and keep doing you are doing great! Well done we can do it!

Lol, I bet you can't wait for food! When I did lighter life I couldn't wait!! Today I have had: B - Porridge with some blueberries on top, cup of tea L - Strawberry milkshake S - blueberries D - Chicken thai curry with a bit of extra rice I haven't counted any calories but I feel like I have...

Thank you both! Yeah, do let us know how the sorbet goes! And that's great that you didn't feel like a dessert! I have to admit the milkshakes are probably the only food I don't particularly like on dc - I just find they have a weird after taste. I will be having one tomorrow though as I take...

I quite like pea and ham soup, but I haven't tried the diet chef one but when I do I'll let you know what I think - thought I might be a little biased! I really like the popcorn and you get LOADS in a bag! I have taken mine to the cinema before and I didn't feel like I missed out at all. I...

Haha it will be worth it when you get to May!! It was very nice. Thank you, im happy with how today is going :)

The rest of day 3 went well I ended it with a bag of salt and vinegar popcorn. Day 4 going well. I had yogurt and chocolate Granola with a cup of tea for breakfast. That's it so far as Im stuck in uni till half 3, but will be having a yummy soup and blueberries when i get home!

Well done on getting through your first day! We have started very close together so will be able to spur each other on :) With the tiny portions issue, maybe you could try putting them in a smaller bowl/plate to trick your mind?! Worth a shot! How are you finding the taste of the food? I...

Topcat - what motivation that is for you!! I bet you were smiling from ear to ear! Lots2lose - the Granola and yogurt is really nice, I've never really had granola before but it was lovely and really filling too. Thank you Phoenyx I am glad it is helping you :) I decided to have the chicken...

Thanks, I hope he is nice to me! I haven't really been hungry today. You will love diet chef though the food is very very tasty. I am surprised at how nice it is and the portions are generous sizes too

Yeah that's very true. Thank you! Day 3 is going well so far, so far I have had: Breakfast - porridge with strawberries and a cup of tea Lunch - Smoked bacon and bean soup, a muller light yogurt and a cup of tea Snacks - grapes and 2 rich tea biscuits Not sure what tea will be yet, I really...

Day 2 - 11th March Not had the best food day today, made lots of bad choices! Breakfast - yogurt with chocolate granola Lunch - Chunky veg soup and yogurt Dinner - This will be chilli and some rice On top of that I have had FAR too many biscuits which I'm not happy about but was in a very...

Thank you! I was a little hungry when I came in from shopping but it was tea time really so when I had my lasagne I was fine :) Haha we keep ours in the study, they are quite big! Good luck for tomorrow, the food is so tasty I'm sure you will be fine!

Hi everyone, I've noticed on other parts of this site that food diaries are very popular so I thought I would start one for myself to keep me on track and if anyone has and hints or tips or if I'm doing anything wrong please feel free to let me know! :) So today was my Official Day 1 and it...

It is very disheartening when you have tried your best and don't lose but I agree that you should keep going and don't give up. It will show on the scales eventually and may be a big loss next week to compensate. Good luck for this week you can do it!

Well done topcat that's a great loss!

Thank you everyone for your kind posts! I do have my fitness pal but I tend to not use it for that reason ha! Maybe I will start tracking again. Day 1 has gone very well so far, had lots of things to do to keep me busy!

Thanks, I hope you're right!

Yep! I would be happy with a 20 lbs loss, but ideally I would like to lose 27 lbs to be at my ultimate goal. But this time I definitely won't be giving up!

Great, day 1 tomorrow! :)

Thank you that's a really good idea. I think I will start a food diary on here from tomorrow and hopefully that will keep me on track!

Hi everyone, I have tried many diets in the past and mostly been successful on them, but always put the weight back on. I intended on starting Diet Chef last Tuesday but I have been binging like crazy. I wondered if anyone could give me any advice to stop this?! I thought my head was in it, but...

Well done that is brillaint!!

This thread has really helped me in my decision to start diet chef too! Today was my day 1 and hopefully will be successful! I am finding the food absolutely delicious so far and it seems easy to follow with the food being so nice! :)

Hey all, It's really good to see this working for many of you. I started again listening to the cds last night and will start the book again. It does seem like something I should be able to follow in the long term. I will keep popping in here to see how everyone is going! Good luck everyone :)

I am a little bit obsessed with blueberries at the moment! But I also love satsumas :)

I wish I was! Can't find the motivation. How are you doing?

Hi Davey From what I can remember from when my stepdad did it it is exactly the same with 4 packs a day. I think the weight loss is slightly quicker for men though I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

Thanks to jenm and nzmegs for the info, think I will start slowly getting into exercise again!

Well done that's a fantastic loss!!

Thanks so much for that! I will definitely be trying that tomorrow :)

I can't stand any of the soups either! I live on shakes and bars. CornishPixie - how much water do you put in your vanilla shake to make it thick and taste like custard?! I love custard! :)

Good luck for your weigh in, I'm sure your loss will spur you on even more. Yeah that is what's keeping me going, end result end result! x

Hi all, For those who have started exercising mid way through LLT, did you notice any difference in your weekly losses? Did it speed it up at all? I was going to wait a couple of weeks before exercising, but I am considering just getting straight into it (and especially if it will speed things...

Well done! I lost 8 lbs this week too (week 1)!

Good luck, you won't regret it!

Ah cool, I wouldn't have thought of that! How are you getting on so far? I've started to struggle the last couple of days, still stuck to plan though! Hope you are doing ok

Double as in 2 packs together?! Did you put anything in it? Or did you just have it as is? I'm waiting for a day when I'm not quite so hungry to eat mine!

Oops wasn't finished. I'm not a big fan of the chilli either! I live for the peanut bars, couldn't do it without them. Thanks for your help though Nicola

Haha do you?! I will give that a go then, nothing to lose!

Ah thanks, does the pepper and tabasco make it any nicer? I only have shakes and bars as I don't like the others but thought I would give it a go and the further into it the worse it tasted!

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to make the shepherds pie pack slightly more bearable? I have a few packs which have just gone out of date so can't swap with my LLC and wondered if there is anything we could put in them to make them nicer?! Thanks in advance...

Hey, If you are on facebook there are a lot of support groups and communities for this diet on there. They are updated regularly too!

Hi Charlotte-May We have almost the exact same stats! I'm 21, from Manchester, 5'7", start weight 154, target weight 133! I gave this diet a go a couple of weeks ago and it worked well for me, but I got ill and put the weight back on so I am planning on starting again tomorrow. Good luck...

Hi everyone I thought it would be a good idea to start a diary to make me stick to healthy eating as nothing else is making me keep on track. I will be starting tomorrow with my final goal being to lose 1 and a half stone, but I would be thrilled if I could lose 1 stone before Christmas...

Hey everyone, I have been dieting on and off for a while now, and have decided to go down the healthy eating route and generally lead a more healthy life. I don't have masses to lose 1 stone at least, but preferably 1 and a half but I have come to a standstill! I am reasonably active...

I agree with all your posts! Done lighter life far too many times and now it's time for a lifestyle change and eat healthily. Good luck everyone!

Wow that's fantastic! I am thinking about starting this tomorrow, but my book hasn't arrived yet. What to do tend to eat in a day in the attack phase? Thank you

Good luck! I am starting again tomorrow.

Hi, is this app just for an iphone or is there one for the android? I've been very bad the last 2 weeks and am back where I started in January so am trying again! I really need to get there!!

I have been looking through all your menus, and I was going to stop and give up with total but now think I will do lighter life lite for a couple of weeks! Can I ask for your advice on something? A lot of your meals seem to be for your dinner, what would you suggest for a packed lunch?! Thank! :)

I had this the other night when I was trying to get to sleep! I was slightly confused!

Well done vikki that's great! I had my second weigh in on Saturday and have lost 8lbs in 2 weeks which I'm happy with :) Just need to keep going!

Wow 13 lbs in 2 weeks! Congratulations!!

Ohh sounds good! I bought one a few days ago, just waiting for it to arrive!

I've read very good reviews about it. I haven't got one yet, but I am thinking about it!

Well done groovychick that's great!

Hi everyone. I'm in the same boat. I'm a returner and have lost count of the times I've started again but not lasted very long. This is definitely my last go at it! I just want to finally see the last of this last stone and a half after being on and off the programme for almost a year. I am...

I'd definitely like a buddy! I suppose short term goals are the key to losing weight so that you don't lose motivation, so the little mile stones should hopefully keep us on track! Good luck :) xxx

I'm hoping you're right about that! But I've been looking round this site (though I'm still not used to it) and it looks really useful, so fingers crossed :)

Hi everyone, I tried celebrity slim for a few days about a month ago and did lose a few pounds but lost motivation to carry on. I'm hoping by joining this forum and being able to share my experiences with people going through the same thing will help me this time round. I did lighter life...
