I'm 'trying' to do RC, just cannot seem to get in to it I start the day fine, but by lunchtime, I'm eating anything and everything

well done on the weight loss, I've bought the Solo Slim meals and soups several times, and I find that they are rather expensive to buy, so now I just buy soups in tins or make my own, and buy ready meals, its way way cheaper

I'm here, just been using MFP as it seems to be like a ghost town here lately Will start posting my diaries on here as well, from Thursday

hi & welcome Ditsy Daisy I sometimes have both my PS for my pudding, depends on how busy I've been during the day.

sure I'm doing something wrong, havent lost any lbs or inches in ages oh well, least weights not going on

the pasta dinner looks yumm

thanx for that Kate, always handy to know

well done u keep it going

I would say try 1387 cals for a week, see what happens, I upped my cals to my allowance which was just under 1500 cals, and I put on weight, so now I tend to stick to 1300-1400 cals a day, and that seems ok (fingers crossed)

u can use MFP without a phone, its just easier on a phone

am going away tomorow for the w'end, so not able to do much food wise, as its all being cooked for me, will just have to make the healthier choices. I've got my menu for next week (thursday - tuesday) already planned, am doing Solo Slim, and then the week after that I will be trying the 1200cal...

somethings going wrong, and me no likey! the weight is just not shifting, and am getting fed up with it, I plan my meals, and have different things so my body doesnt get used to eating the same stuff. I've been doing JM's 30 DS, done 6 days so far, and only lost 0.5lbs, lost no inches. I...

I got mine in WHSmith's, its on her tv website as well, its very good

I use this site The Calorie Counting Calorie Counter — Fruit and Vegetables

Does anyone fancy joining me doing this plan??? I dont eat all the things on there, so will be doing my own meals, and will be starting this on Thursday

am going on my holiday in the morning, a whole week without my boys, (sure I'll cope), already had 2 bad days food wise, just hope I can control myself for the week, and try not to have much of a gain when I get back. Karen

I'm going to do the 7 day plan, but will be doing 6 days, and will be having Solo slim meals in the evenings. but wont be doing it til I get back of my hols (7th July)

ppl who sub should get it from today, out in shops from Thursday (next week)

anyone else got theirs? (mines on sub) the 7 day menu is a good idea, but I would be changing the evening meals, as I wouldnt eat any of them, am going to try it when I get back from holiday

rice cakes ryvita's yogs, pink & whites ww oat & wheat crackers fruit ice-lollies thats wot I have

u dont count sat fat so it'd be 18.9g fat, which is way to high to have

its 5% per 100g

yes u can

Firstly, Hello & welcome. I used to do SW, but got bored of doing it, and eating tooo much. this is a lot easier to follow I find. For all the meals u can have wotever u like as long as its under the 5% fat per 100g, and only have 200 cals worth etc.. U can add sweetner to anything, it...

hi there, hope u dont mind me posting on ur thread Have noticed that u hardly have breakfast, can I ask y?? and when u have veg, u're not putting any calories next to them

Hi Nicki, welcome to the gang I used to follow SW as well, RC is a lot easier to follow I find, when I started, my stomach thought my throat had been cut, but like Stacey say's it gets easier, day by day, and by end of week 2, u'll be able to eat a bit more. make sure u do a bit of exercise...

just looked thru my wardrobe, found a white box, its full of RC Solo Slim meals, forgot I had it, just as well they're all in date til next yr, but on the plus side, I've made next weeks menu from it, so shopping will be v.v cheap

just done the whole BL dvd (not the dance bit with Richard), and burnt 505 cals, so not bad in a hr

ty for ur replies, I guess I've been watching Biggest Loser US too long, as they eat 1200 cals, and burn a minimum of 6000 cals a day I've looked in my book, and I'm meant to be eating 1492, got kids of school for another week, so that'll be no gym for 2 weeks, going to do dvds for this week...

how much exercise do u think we're meant to be doing??? I spend 2hrs a day at the gym, 5 days a week, and burn 1200 cals a time, (and I eat roughly 1200 cals), but the weight isnt coming off at all, any ideas?

Hi there Stacey, U look familiar, and so does ur name, did u use to do SW?? and post alot on FB ? How are you finding it? I find its a lot better than SW, and food bills are a lot cheaper (my other-half likes that), and I find it a lot easier, not having to work out how many syns are in this...

the WW is the only other lowest u can get, I've had it, and its horrible

supermarkets stopped selling it a while back, its only available from class, or online, or thru the mag

not sad at all, While I was on my hols, I was swimming every day, and I did a exercise dvd

Thanku j70joj It has taken me ages to loose it, a friend of mine has lost 5stone, and lost it within a yr, but the only thing I think I can put it down to (me taking sooooo long) is that I suffer from depression, and have 2 disabled kids, so dieting isnt my 1st choice. I have slowly been buying...
