Hi - lost 2.5 pounds this week ;)

Have a good hol Shep ;)

Its certainly helped for me.... I was a bit worried about upping them but so glad I did now....

Was that sugar free jelly ?? I make up orange sugar free jelly and put a tin of orange segments in juice in too - the juice in with making up the jelly in place of some of the cold water and the oranges in the bowl before I tip the jelly on and its yum... I dont really like the taste of the...

Well done all you guys... great losses.....

Thanks - went to zumba again tonight Am going to stick to the 1387 again this week and try again to get 2 sessions in - having the kids on hol makes it harder tho :(

Those curries look fab too.....

Thanks will deffo be having a go :0 Need to hunt out some potato flour...

I was thinking that :( this was the only thread that had come up with any posts :( I am on mfp too.....

Well this week had a fab loss - 3 lbs...... I upp'd to 1387 calories, tried to drink more water (only prob is needing the loo all the time - lol ) - did 2 exercise sessions and lost 3lbs this week...... SOOOOO chuffed.... one more 1lb and I am at my first stone off !!!!

Weighed in last night... (sound like a boxer !!) and dun dun dun - a 3lb loss !!! SOOOOO chuffed as worked hard this week ;)

I love the Tesco Free From Sausages - they are a decent size sausage and really nice and meaty - my youngest DD was wheat free so thats how we stumbled across them - when you grill them no fat seems to come out of them at all - they are 110 cals and 8g fat per serving - doesnt say how much a...

I have a reaction like that with kiwi fruit - it makes me hands itch too when I touch it usually when I am trying to scoop it out for the kids as they love it...

Another here that has heard of the side effects of Alli and shall we say - not being in control - iykwim... I tried adios years and years ago but it didnt seem to make the weight drop off any faster than dieting does anyway....

Definitely agree Stacey !!! I ahve noticed that when you go online on mfp there are more options howver you have to choose before you know the calories but on app it lists them and tells you the calories...

Wow those meals look yum ;) Do you have receipes for the soup and meatballs and oat bisciuts or can you point me in the right direction ?

Is it similar to a tea cup size ? (Im thinking english lady china tea cup .....)

I log all my calories on myfitnesspal and a lot of the items have their calories based on 1 cup - like today was trying to log my snack of blackberries - they said 64 cal for 1 cup so I kinda went by the size of a tea cup and the number I would have been able to fit in - and said I had half a...

Found a good zumba calculator Zumba Calories

Thanks guys :) I went to zumba class last night but not sure how many calories that burns as it wasnt on mfp - I googled it and it came up with 1000 per hour on 3 different sites... not sure if that it right tho - lol I am going to go for the higher calories this week, more water and...

Jacket potato with cottage cheese, black pepper and salad ;) Followed by mandarin orange segments in sugar free orange jelly :)

I had been going by the myfitnesspal app as have been using that to track calories etc... so had put all my details in there - had re-read the RC book which is what had raised my suspicions about uping the calories - the RC book and the BMR calculator on MFP both say similar amount of calories ;)

Thanks :) I have a BF who I text weekly with weight loss... had joined here and MFP to find some diet buddies - I find its quite quiet on the RC thread :( not as many peeps around as the SW one - lol My main concern is should I stick to my 1200 cal a day as at the moment (althought I have...

Thanks Have done BMR calculator and it says I should be on 1387 cals so going to up it to there for a week and see how it goes. Need to do more exercise this week tho.... hopefully going to zumba class tonight. Havent got a magic measure :( but I know inches are going as my 'new' jeans...

Of course..... had forgotten that as I always input on my phone and then go online to read all the info... although Shep had said she was going to do an online one, but hubby needs computer for work :(

Well I am definitely struggling at the mo - any help or advice gratefully received ;) I stayed the same this week (well I say stayed the same thats what I am going for as the scales were waving 0.5 lb each time I stepped on them so I have nearly lost 0.5 lb but not quite so I am going to go...

Well I am definitely struggling at the mo - any help or advice gratefully received ;) I stayed the same this week (well I say stayed the same thats what I am going for as the scales were waving 0.5 lb each time I stepped on them so I have nearly lost 0.5 lb but not quite so I am going to go...

Well done you.... :) I am wondering if I should move up to 1400 cals now... still on 1200 but stayed the same last week and not sure about this week - weigh in tonight ;)

After having my 30DS sat on my desk unopened for a week I am starting it tonight..... How are people finding the weight - inches loses ? What has anyone lost ????

Yum - had a walls mini twister at the weekend - 45 cals and 1g fat - it was nice and lasted a while (well longer than a mini milk !!!) Walls Mini Twister 8 Pack 400ml product information - Tesco.com

and me - seem to be struggling - keeping under my 1200 cals just about but the scales arent moving or if they are wave at 0.1 or 0.2 up or down ??

Do you have a smart phone if so you can get an app (my fitness pal) that is a fab calorie counter and food log too - I have been using it and its great - there is also an online part of it too which logs the food etc and syncs with your phone. Prior to using the app I used to use a pretty...

I am quite new to RC - losses are good - its nice and easy to follow - as with any diet that I have done I find you are more hungry then before but after a few days this sorts itself out... this is only in the initial couple of weeks tho as after then your calorie allowance goes up I got the...

Think I might up them then - but not 100% sure what to do - 1400 is the next level to move to I think as losses are definitely becoming smaller now - on MFP is tells me that 1200 is the calories I should be eating ? and you can earn more from exercise....... wonder if this is the same as going...

How about changing number of calories that you are eating ? I was reading some articles only yesterday on MFP about calories and starvation etc.... might be worth having a look ?

I do the same - I used to have a weigh in on friday night - now I have it on a monday night so then I have to behave all weekend... might change to a sunday tho as then I will still have behaved all weekend but can have a little treat at the very end of the weekend if I have lost !!!! No...

I got mine from my local small high street WHSmiths.... Have to agree it is fab and I use it alot

I stayed the same this week which although I am not happy with myself about - I am glad that it was a sts as opposed to a 'on' - as you know had a bad disorganised week - am going for a good week this week tho ;)

Well done Stacey - 11 inches too ;) Fabaroo - I reckon I should get some measuring done - I know I have lost inches tho as I am having probs keeping me trews up !!

Fab loss - well done you... Do you follow a RC plan or just do CC yourself >?

Thanks - just noticed this is the June challenge - maybe that was why ? do we have a july challenge thread ?

Another vote here for MFP - I dont go on the online bit just use the phone app - the scan facility is brill :)

Was just reading the last thread and notice my loss of last week has disappeared from the post :(

Tried an Alpen Light Double Chocolate and they are yummy The WW Nacho Cheese Tortillas are very yummy too :)

Mrswilsoncroft - How is the solo slim diet going this week ?? Any others on the mag diet week - if so hows it going??

I think I need to have another look at the inch loss plan for next week :) ***off to go and hunt on 'to do' pile for book ;)

I have been doing the 1200 cal a week RC and this week had tried up-ing to 1400 I am not this week - was last week when you were having a bad week lol - but this week NOOOOO - not having a good week - just not organised - having a stressy week :( - am out tonight too with the mums from school...

Well done you xx

I went to Asda today and managed to get Apple and Sultant and Double Chocolate Alpen Lights - they are on special for 2 for £3 atm - there was a space for chocolate fudge but they didnt have any :(

Woo hoo - way to go ;) Well done you.... Did you do the diet from the mag last week ??

Sounds a bit like the jumbo box of maltesers that someone bought me as a thank you gift - i was fine when they were closed but now they are open I keep dipping in - like 2 mins ago when i went in the lounge to open the curtains - felt I needed rewarding and dipped in for another 2 :( will give...

Well done you x

Ooooo not tried those ones - I got the summer fruits and choc n orange one and they were both yummy...

Maybe we should keep this thread going with other things that others have found that are yummy.... Last night I had a bowl of fresh raspberries with a mini meringue crushed on top and a small blob of ff yoghurt which was very yummy......

Managed to find some Alpen Lights in Tesco and have to agree - its my mid morning snack with my coffee and some berries and also quite often in the evening with my coffee after the evening activities with the kids - I used to have 2 a day on SW as one of my HEbs but that was many moons ago...

How did the picnic go? What did you take in the end??

Well done you ;) Was it your first week on RC too ??

I dont like space raiders :( the kids do tho ;) I usually have Quavers which are 87 calories 4.9g fat which are good too but the potato thins one are just as yummy.. have tried lots of the 'diet' snacks/crisps but am quite fussy :)

Thought I would 'share the yumminess' I had a pack of Tesco Light Choice Cheese and Onion and they were yummy 73 cals and less than 3% fat Here is a link Tesco Light Choices Potato Thins 6 Pack - Groceries - Tesco Groceries Definitely recommend... would go well with my last...

Mini Milk ice lollies are 30 cal and the choco one is really yummy ;)

WI last night and I have lost 3lbs this week....

I was going to start doing it as from tomorrow.... :) BUT i havent factored in when i am going to shop yet... LOL ;)

Ohhhh please post and let us know how you get on at weigh in... I really fancy doing the diet... only thing I wouldnt eat is the sardine pasta :( am going to have a go tho at the rest

The book is great - well worth getting All food except your treat needs to be less than 5% fat Im not really a pro on this so hopefully someone who has been doing it a little longer will come and help out....

Just answering someone else question on here and just had a looked in the back of the book and have ready that after the 28 day plan you then move on to calorie allowance based on weight..... age and sex..... I was continuing with the 1200 cal a day thinking it would help me shift it quicker...

I get the mags and I have also got the Amazing INch Loss PLan book and seem to have everything I need info wise (along with a calorie counter app or you can buy the RC calorie counter book from newsagent too) and if I am stuck I just pop on here ;)

I am new to RC (have done it before pre-babies but cant really remember from before) - I have the RC book and have looked in the back and the weights it gives you and the calories you can have is more for men than women and is also different in age groups too ;) Example : if you are 12 stone...

I am new to RC - have done it pre-babies and it was the diet that worked best for me... I have been doing it a few weeks now and still on the 1200 cal a day..... should I have moved up to more????

Thanks - thats fab - will take a look :) Not doing very well today - ended up with McDs for lunch as it was the only place near when I was out at a meeting earlier and as it was nearly 2 needed to grab something to eat before school run - I went for the grilled chicken wrap again - not as low...

I am off to visit FIL tonight and we are having takeaway indian ???? Not great on the old diet front but pretty fab normally - was thinking of going for a chicken shashlick (the one cooked in the oven like tandoori/tikka on a kebab and it comes with onions, peppers too) was going to just have...

Really need to pop out and get the new mag - didnt get a mo to go yesterday :(

Not sure whats going on - have now managed to lose that 2.5 lbs that appeared at the beginning of the week - now to try and lose more or even stay the same for weigh in on sunday :(

I had a WW frozen ready meal at the w/e - the wedges with cheese and brocolli - it was quite nice but didnt fill me up for tea for long- was only 200 cals tho so maybe better for me for lunch... I have the chicken casserole one in the freezer for another night. Which ones would you...

I will stick with 8lbs too please...

Hi to all - hope all classes went well... :)

Messed up tonight forgot to take fish out of the freezer so thought I would remedy it by making homemade pizza - had two pizza bases in freezer but when I got them out they were mouldy :( was going to use the Warburtons thins for me... so ended up with freezer cook from freezer whatever I can...

I got some Mcvities Mini Chocolate Crossiants for the kids today and noticed they are only 62 cals each.

I got the kids some Mcvities Mini Chocolate Croissants today as something to fed them with on the way out and noticed that they are only 62 cals each.... ;)

I went shopping today to Tesco just for some snackie bits and some extras to go with what I have already got in the freezer Have put a post in 'Treats and Snacks for under 150 cal' of some goodies I found ;)

Tonight I am planning on having a jacket potato with cottage cheese and salad. I say planning - I am dashing out with kids now and havent factored in that the jacket potatoes are going to take an hour to cook - think the kids will be having good old pasta !!!!

Been to Tesco shopping today and came back with some little treats.. Tesco Light Choice Crispbakes 29 cals each and they are quite large - look like toast and are nice and crisp and yummy Laughing Cow LIght cheese triangles 27 cals each - great to go on top of crispbakes/crackers/S&V...

Thanks peeps will take a look at the GI Jeans (sounds like a country and western movie) and GI Hip and Thigh..... think I might even have the books - will dig around in the bookcase ;)

It is but not as GI orientated as doing a GI diet like Rick Gallop (sp) - I have the books but never done it....

Does anyone do their RC calories based on GI ??? Just wondering if it is possible to combine the two as GI is usually lots of nuts, seeds and wholemeal which usually means more calories :(

I am calorie counting at the mo RC way but am hungry and what I am eating doesnt fill me up or give me an awful lot of energy I am running to keep fit and finding that after 3k I have very little energy/drive to carry on and think it might be down the the food - so GI might be the way for me to...

Good idea... as I havent done my weekly shop yet (or even know when I am going to be able to go :() or even planned this weeks meals besides today I will ahve to report back !!!!

Thanks Kelly... think I will have a go and see if there is a pattern for me.

Good luck with the class tonight :)

Thought it might be a nice idea to share what we are all planning on / or have had for tea tonight... might be able to give each other some nice ideas...?? I am having : Simply Cook Mini Chicken Roast (Chicken breast, sausage, stuffing, gravy) 280 cals with yummy veg cauli, broccoli, carrots...

Glad Im not the only one ;) I always weigh myself at the same time of day, just before I get into bed, and in the same clothes. Was just wondering why yesterday was showing an increase after exercise and eating well where as before then even after exercise it has always shown a loss.. If...

Ahhhh might be why I went to WHSmith yesterday and the mag I picked up I already had as it was Junes.... ;) Must make note to pick it up on Thursday :)

I know, I know I need to step away from the scales as I am getting obsessed with weighing myself every night to check that my good work in the day is actually doing something.... bit of an incentive I suppose and I know I shouldnt - I might hide the scales or put them in a difficult to reach...

Im even more impressed now !!!!

I am kinda following RC and CC at same time.... sticking to 1200 calories a day and tracking them on MFP and last week I lost 4lbs :)

Thanks - dont think it would have been in the 5% rule but then not sure as it was only wrap, grilled chicken and lettuce so maybe... Thought I would post just in case someone else was in same predictament... ;) PS - I did have a small fries with it too and a diet coke but only went over my...

Glad you liked them :) I am defrosting 2 at the moment to have a small can of beans on for tea... Monday night is hectic night with the kids and out of school activities so has to be something very very quick... ;) Will have a look out for the wraps I wish they did the thins in wholemeal as...

We went visiting relations yesterday.. not good weather for it as it was SOOO hot in the car :( but we had to go - we got stuck in horrendous traffic on the way home so had to stop to eat at the services... didnt have a lot of choice food wise so ended up in Burger King... :( :( i thought bang...

Oh no shep :( I know how you feel as the week before last I put on and I was being good too :( Dont really want to post my post now but.... I have lost 4 pounds this week... so chuffed with my self... - can I join the July challenge too please ? I would like to go for 2 lb a week please... :)

Might have a go at the steak dish sounds lush Was the warburton slice you had one of the thins???? If so did you like it ?

I think I would be hungry by 10 oclock.... and then sit rumbling till lunch and then again at 2 :(

Just seen this new thread.... what is the 17 day diet... what can you eat? Is it calorie based or food grouped based ?

Going to try and aim for 2 lb per week... ;()

you get all that when you join a class !!! How much is weekly class?

golly Im struggling with 1200 calories...... let alone 1000.... :(:(:( will have a look at the 7 day plan tho when I get a mag and might be up for a challenge ;)

Can I join in please?

Sorry to hijack your thread Lisa... :(

:( :( :( Thanks Tiggerfan - I thought it was too good to be true :( Off to check the rest of the 'goodies' in the cupboard to see which others I will have to give the kids :)

Thanks guys some good ideas to put on the shopping list there :) My kids love pink and whites but Ive never been a real fan BUT if they are sweet and low in cal and fat might have to convert :) Will look out for Alpen Light bars - which supermarket do you usually get them from> I looked at...

When did the new mag come out ? Not sure if I have it or not... if not will be off to trot to the shop first thing tomorrow ;)

Im glad x

Anyone got any ideas/tips for snacks that under 5% fat ?? Need to have a search - was wondering about fruit ryrita or rice cakes maybe? Anyone got any good tips/ideas? Anyone found any cereal bars / biscuits that are under 5% fat ?

Is that the first fat amount or the saturated tho ? ie WW Cookies 100g contains Energy 461kcal Protein 6.7g Carb 61.0g Fat 18.9g of which saturated 4.7g So for RC would you go by the 18.9g or 4.7g? I was working off the saturated so had thought these were ok :(

Ohhh.... might take a look for a class near me then... I have steered away from going back to class because I cant commit to being there everyweek and with the missed weeks extra payments it soon adds up... If RC dont charge for missed weeks might pop along and find my local class and go...

Does the 5% fat rule per 100g mean Fat or Saturated Fat - I am as we speak munching my way thru my mid morning snax pack of WW cookies which are only 88 calories and 18.9g of Fat per 100g but only 4.7g of saturated fat which is why I thought they were OK... :( they are yummy tho and going down...

Not sure as I havent been to a class this time round... I noticed at the top of this forum area there were food diaries posted.... I do a food diary on my phone... on an app which records what I eat and how many calories I have left.. you just enter the words in and it has a database on it...

They taste pretty scrummy too :)

Well done you.... 7.5 lbs... have you got a food diary ? Would love to take a peek if you have ??

Not sure if this is the right place to post or the right thing to do - Im new to this forum - and to RC - I wanted to share with you RC's something new and low cal I have found... Warburtons Thins... they are 100 cal each and they are cut in half so you can toast them and its a bit like a...

Hi I am new here too. Good luck with your first week. :) I was going to share with you RC's about some low cal bread I have found... think I will start a new thread... not sure if thats the right thing to do ????

Well done you guys - and even more praise for beating last years time :) I did it with my 2 DDs. I lost my MIL to cancer just a few weeks before so we did it for her :) I managed to run it all without stopping in just under 30 mins - my 2 DDs started off running with me and my friend but...

Can you have porridge as a HEB on Extra Easy plan?

Well done you... :) How much exercise have you been doing? Daily ?

Have to say Im a little confused with it too... depends which book / mag you read or meal plan. I reckon going with the not counting veg has got to be a bonus - shame it cant be fruit as well like SW !!!!! I am SOOO hungry at the mo - finding it fine all day counting calories till it comes...

Hi - I am new here too... just joined. I am in the same boat as you - have been there and done that and have tried the usual diets too... WW SW and RC and now back to RC again.... So still trying to find where to go and chat and ask questions !!! I got the new book today and the A-Z of...
