Hi Maggie, Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on here for a few days. All I can say with regards to step 2 is make sure you weigh everything out, I know some people plan and weigh everything for the week in advance, but I don't really ever decide what I want to eat until the day. I always...

Re. The rice noodles, you are allowed them on step 2 but not SS+ as far as I am aware... And I thought it was only 30g. There is a recipe in the booklet in the step 2 section which uses them. Personally while I was on step 2 I still avoided them and stuck to the allowances in the lists instead.

Hi, I am on step 2 as well, and although have always done SS+ so I'm used to eating, the portions were quite a struggle and I too was concerned I wouldn't lose. Someone said to me to try splitting the protein allowance up. I do this sometimes so for example one day I stir fried half of my...

I put on half a pound this week but was off plan last week. I am back on track now although I have a tricky day tomorrow as I am out for dinner and drinks with work!! Let's see what Monday's weigh in holds for me... Xx

Well I had my first weigh in this morning since starting back on solo slim, lost 1.8lbs. Am happy with that. It's my water retention week so should be able to lose a bit more next week. Hope everyone else is doing well. Xx

Well done TractorGirl, that's such a fab loss!! You have done so well so far, I hope I can do as well as you! I managed to lose 10lbs in 4 weeks last year so here's hoping it repeats... I started back on solo slim on Monday. I have no self control around food so find this works well for me. So...

I am going to be buying my next 28 day food box of solo slim meals on Sunday, I have a few days worth left so I will hopefully be re-starting on Sunday. I have dinner and a night out planned on Saturday so no point starting sooner. Looking forward to getting back on track, I lost 10lbs and...

I done Solo Slim for a while last year before I went on holiday and lost 10lbs in the first 4 weeks (5.5lbs, 2.5lb, STS, 2lbs). I loved it, found it so easy to do and enjoyed pretty much all of the meals I tried, think I didn't get the mushroom or pea soups as I don't like them anyway. I...

I have so far lost 2lbs in October. Had first WI yesterday but girl week this week so never lose as much hehe. Xx

I love them, I have never lost so much weight as I have when following solo. I have only just got myself back on track but I feel so much better already. It's just so easy. I add veg or salad to mine, sometimes some new potatoes too but they are so yummy!! Xx

I have thought about that but I find the solo packs fill me up more and are yummier. I have decided to join a class so I may go back to eating 'normal' food yet.

I have been so rubbish and not even tried to stick to the diet. I have spent the last week in New York and am feeling determined now to stick to the plan. I have just dug out my SoloSlim packs ready for tomorrow, just got to find the motivation to stick to it. I want to try to lose a stone in...

I will join in the sept challenge. I haven't been on track for weeks now but am getting determined!! I will set my target for sept at 7lbs as I have a few things planned. Xx

Jen, when I have had my delivery I have received a copy of the magazine in free both times. Xx

I find brekkie the hardest meal of the day. I struggles to eat early and although I can eat at my desk I prefer it to be something grab-able rather than a bowl of cereal. Usually I will have cereal bars but I was wondering what other people have... Any ideas/inspiration would be greatly...

I have done solo and loved it. I brought a 28 day box and lost 10lbs over that period. I still have some of my solo packs left and plan to re-start on Sunday. I have enjoyed all the meals, some more than others but found them all yummy. I would definitely give it a go, it's so easy to do as...

First WI in august for me today and I lost 1/2lb. Not sure how as I have been really bad and can see this week will be the same. Boooo!! Xx

I have done solo slim. I have been off plan for a few weeks but hoping to get back on track once I have shifted this cold!! The solo pouches are really yummy. There were a few I wasn't as keen on but still enjoyed them. I would say give it a go, even for the 7 days. I found it so easy - the...

Well I am back from holiday and official weigh in this morning showed a 4.5 gain. I'm impressed it wasn't more to be honest. I have about 2 and a half weeks of solo packs left so I planned to kick start using them starting today. However I have a stinking cold and feel like pap so I haven't...

Welcome back Shep and well done on only the small gain!! I am going to officially weigh myself tomorrow after my holibobs - not looking forward to that haha. Let's get back on it :-D

Well done everyone on great losses since I have been away. I am now back from my fab holiday but off for a hen weekend tomorrow. I can't wait to get back on track on Monday although dreading seeing how much I have put on. I had a sneaky weigh yesterday and had gained 8.5lbs (whoops!) but...

I had another small gain of 0.5lbs this morning. I'm not upset as it was expected but I'm annoyed at myself for falling off plan. I am off on holiday on Wednesday so won't have WI next week but will be back fighting on 8th august. If we are doing an august challenge, please put me down for...

Had a slight gain of 1.5lbs this morning. I know why though - a combination of dominoes feast sitting in my tum tum from last night and the 10 mile walk I did for charity Saturday night (I hear muscles hold water after exercise!). I won't beat myself up but hoping for a good loss next week :-) Xx

Well done Stacey, that's incredible!! I'm glad solo gave you that push to reach target. Keep at it and you will get that extra 4lbs I'm sure. Xx

Another maintain for me this week. I am so pleased as it has been a very stop start week and should have been a lot worse. Am determined to get back on track from today and kick my own butt into shape!! Xx

I love the beef casserole, it tastes really rich and yummy! I might have that tonight actually. I am glad that the pan cooking went better haha. I don't have a microwave at the moment so it's my only option! I am still doing solo slim, I brought another 28 day box but had a few days off from...

Ah thanks for the encouragement. I will get back on track tomorrow. Just need to get that first day done!! I'm glad you are enjoying the meals. I love coming home and throwing some veg in the steamer to go with it. I'm always really full for the evening! Did you try pan cooking the pouches...

They are really yummy, like home cooked food. It's pretty amazing really!! My favs are the bean and chorizo soup, the Thai chicken curry and korma, the hotpots and the sausage casserole. To be honest, it would be easier to lost the ones I wasn't so keen on although they were still yummy! I...

I usually have a wholemeal pitta or warburton thin with lunch. Sometimes I ho a bit over and have some cheese on top. I have been making them into pizza using some of my soup if I have a tomato based one topped with some cheese. With dinner I have a salad or some new potatoes and mixed...

Im glad you are enjoying the food so far. I always look forward to my pouch at dinner hehe. I cook mine in a pan over the hob. It only takes a few minutes to heat so I haven't had any splatter problems I'm afraid. I was a bit dubious about heating the casseroles/hotpots with the potato in case...

Hi russiandoll, That is exactly the same for me. I liked the fact that I didn't have to think what to eat. Good luck with solo, it really is great. Xx

Yay to me getting slimmer of the month for June. I am so pleased - in all my time going to SW and WW its the award I always wanted!! So, to start July off I have maintained. I am happy with that as I haven't been on plan for the last few days due to life getting in the way. Back on it now. Xx...

Nellylou, I was on 1200 the first 2 weeks then up to 1400 for the last 2. It's the same principles as the inch loss plan I believe. Kindleuser, I very much doubt I will lose another 10 in 4 weeks but I'm gonna try. I go on holiday in 4 weeks and losing another 10 will get me to a bmi of 25...

Thanks, makes me feel slightly less guilty hehe. When I came to deciding, I pulled out the meals which I fancied at the time then done a bit of an 'ip-dib-do' kinda thing. Xx

Yay, good luck Stacey. I am sure you will love it and do great. I have just had a mini scoff of chocolate but not gonna beat myself up. After being pretty much 100% the last 4 and a half weeks I felt I needed a bit of a blow out. Keep my updated how you get on with solo. Xx

I am also a compulsive weigher. I have discovered a pattern though. I know I will weigh more on a Tuesday and a Saturday. I also weigh morning and before bed. I only take Monday as official but I make a mental note of how I am doing. I am lucky as I don't get too disheartened if the scale have...

Shep you didn't hijack you silly billy. I'm glad you feel better from getting that out. You should never feel ashamed though (easier said than done) but at least you are taking positive action to fix it! If you can do it, I would definitely say give it a go. Especially if your RC people are...

That sounds like a really good plan!! I didn't even think of that haha. Xx

I got my first coupon from the magazine and the second came with my box. It was 28day10 and should work for you too. It's a tricky one when you have someone else to feed. I has all my meals with either veg and new potatoes or a salad, would your hubby eat that with something else easy to cook...

Thanks Stacey, I am so pleased. I also lost 16inches as of last monday. I am quite lucky (or not depending on how you look at it hehe) that it's just me to feed so it's simple. My friend lives with her fiancé and she is doing solo too. She generally just makes something else for him or he taunts...

Evening all! I completed my 28 days on the solo slim plan yesterday so thought I would do a quick write up... Firstly, weight loss. I lost 5.5lbs in week 1, 2.5lbs in week 2, maintained week 3 then another 2lbs in week 4. So 10lbs in total - pretty pleased with that! :-) I actually really...

I lost another 2lbs this week. Yay!! :-) xx

Yay me!! Still time to lose my crown though hehe. I will stay on for July please. Monday weigh in as usual and would like to lose 10lbs. Xx

I just brought some and had one with dinner. Yum yum.

Hi Tanya. Good luck at the class. Have you tried pole fitness before? I have my own pole in my lounge :-) Xx

STS for me this week. I am pretty impressed with that to be honest. After a work lunch and excessive chocolate button binging Friday followed by pizza hut and cocktails Saturday!! Just hope it doesn't catch up on me!! Xx

Wow, well done on completing the race and double well done on taking 7 minutes off last year!! Xx

I felt like rubbish all afternoon. Just had dinner but wasn't really hungry (least it was only chicken, salad and new potatoes though). It's such an awful feeling - I must get some peppermint tea (not that I plan to feel like that again hehe). Xx

I have been following solo slim for the last 2 and a half weeks, and have lost 8lbs. I have been feeling amazing and my clothes are getting bigger (or shouldn't say I am getting smaller!!) Having stuck to plan pretty much 100% I had a team lunch out today to an all you can eat Italian. I...

Hehe have to say today's breakfast did make me chuckle!! Xx

Wow, well done Sheba!! I feel the same as you - this is the first diet I have done where I feel I can get to target!! Keep at it and congrats again on your fantastic loss!! Xx

Another 2.5lbs off for me this week please :-D xx

Hi Karen, You can get it from the the website and classes, but you could try play.com and eBay? I got mine in the 28 day box free so not 100% sure to be honest. In the 2 week kickstart no, you don't have choc. But I haven't even missed it to be honest. I have some of the RC hot chocolate...

Hi karen, I also suffer with blood sugar issues. I once passed out while serving at the till when I was working in a shop!! I have been following the RC solo slim plan for 2 weeks now and have only had 1 low sugar attack in that time. When I eat good food, my blood sugar balances and generally...

Hi jules, I have done SW in the past too and done really well to start but once it slipped I couldn't get back on track!! I started RC Monday last week on the solo slim plan (the pre prepared ready meals and soups) as it takes the decision making out of mealtimes for me. My first week I lost...

Well, it was all worth it. Lost 5.5lbs this week. So chuffed :-D xx

Just had my first weigh in and lost 5.5lbs :-D just half a pound til I am under 11.10 which seems to be the one I get stuck at. Fingers crossed for next week... Good luck everyone. Xx

I have been trying to diet for about 10 years!! I lost 2 stone on WW a few years back but then split from my fiancee and started going out to bars with my friends so it all went back on again. I was on Cambridge for a bit recently but miss food too much, then tried SW again but have no self...

I have been having them, maybe I need to vary them a bit more and try some of your suggestions, thanks :-) hopefully it's just my body adjusting. Xx

I am on day 3 today. Really enjoying the food but I do get hungry in between meals!! How do you keep the hunger at bay? I drink lots of water and only have a machine which gives pre-made tea at work. I am determined to stick to it though and hoping my tummy will shrink hehe. Well done on your...

Please can I play too?? I started solo slim today so going to aim for 1 stone by the end of June. I go on holiday July 27th and want to lose at least 1 stone 7lbs. Hopefully this will keep me motivated. Kelly

Thanks everyone for your replies. My box arrived today but I'm not sure whether to start tomorrow or take a few days to read the book and get my head round it, plus I have birthday cocktails to go to Saturday but I could just stick to diet coke!! Excited to try the meals!!

Thanks starbug. I have put my 28 day order in so hopefully have it Tuesday. I ordered at least 1 of every pouch except 2 of the soups I know I won't like. Can't wait to get started now - go on holiday at the end if July and although won't be at my target I am hoping to be about 21lbs lighter!!

Hi, I picked up the may RC mag during the week which has a little booklet in for the solo slim diet. I done som research and it looks pretty perfect for me!! I find I have no self control with food so have done well on things like Cambridge which that the decision element of eating away from me...

My consultant suggested fat free fromage frais with splenda and options stirred in - it's lush!!! Someone in group freezes it too!!!
