Hope the funeral goes well. Don't worry too much about the diet these couple of days - you're bound to go out for meals so just try to make the best choices. You can always carry on when you're back :) At least the weight is coming off so well! Well done.

Well, a fair bit more. Ideally another 2 stone, but if I get near and I am happy that's fine. So another 2 months or so?! I'm away on hols half of May so am expecting to put on a few lbs again. All good tho :)

3lbs lost this week! And that was even on a boozy weekend!! Hurrah. Altogether 31lbs.... Woohoo!

I still weigh in most mornings, just to stay on track. So if I have dropped 1/2 lb or something it motivates me, and if I'm static it also motivates me! I think there's no problem in weighing daily so long as you don't get disheartened with fluctuations. I even track weight daily on an excel...

Totally. Seeing a kilo up on the scales doesn't freak me out, cos for practically the first time in my life I feel in control of when I take that same kilo off again. I think I used to feel almost a victim of my weight, like it was some omnipotent thing I had no control over. And if nothing...

Yeah - a few days off was great!! But then it was almost a relief to get back to DC again, and not feel so bloated. Maybe this is how naturally slim people have felt all their lives?!

Sooooo, I did manage to hit the 2 stone mark on week 12!! Then, I went away for Easter and ate EVERYTHING! So I am now at 27 lbs again, having put two back on :sigh: However, v good yesterday and today so am hoping that I get back to 28 lbs lost by Saturday. We'll see.... Did you all have...

It'll be fine! I also have cut back on alcohol a lot, but still drink once or twice a week. I'm just trying to drink less, by alternating with sparkling water. It's a bit dull, but amazing how quickly you get used to it. And shifting 27lbs helps keep motivation high :) - one more pound by...

I love that! I lost 3lbs this week, and like you I'm gunning for 2 stone. I sorted my big wardrobe yesterday and found 2 pairs of nice jeans that were too small but fit well now, and a bunch of tops :) It's better than shopping since I already like everything I find! Also I bought a dress in...

Sorry - millymillymilly that was supposed to be a reply to you :)

Mine has been less consistent! I have also lost 22lbs in 10 weeks, but some weeks 4lbs, some weeks none. It really depends on your body, but I think everyone who sticks DC out for a few weeks definitely sees results. Why not try it for a month and see??

Well done!! Your results are so consistent, it's amazing! Well, I can't remember the last time I posted, maybe 2 weeks ago now, but I've been busy on the road a lot recently. Which hasn't been good - but not too bad either! I stayed pretty much static, which considering the wine and the hotel...

Week 8 Well this week was frustrating. I was quite good - few slips here and there, but nothing major. And I put ON 1lb! Am hoping it's hormonal or water retention or something, and that it'll come off this week.... Annoying though - but I have to keep in mind that it took years to put on this...

Portion sizes I think the portions are small too, and agree it's cos I used to eat for about three people....! I was STARVING for most of week one. Now I zap a big bowl of carrots and green beans in the microwave, and pour most of the curries over this in the evening. So I end up with a heaped...

Thanks you guys! Thanks for all the support guys! Had a few glasses of vino last night, so was really disciplined today.... I LOVE the Sweet Potato & Coconut Soup, so today was a good one :D

Back on track this week, and just over 2lbs lost :) So - now 18lbs, nearly 19lbs. I am gunning for two stone soon.......

VLCD Agree that Diet Chef is far healthier than a VLCD! But actually, since the core meals total about 800 cals, and you are choosing what to add in, you can sort of vary your cal allowance anyway. If coming off a VLCD you could add just veggies and then gradually increase different foods til...

The results are in! Well, I thought this week was a bust, but I did manage to lose 1lb. Which is better than nothing, considering I did have 2 big dinners, some choccies and some crisps :o. And a whole lot of wine.... But hey, let's be positive. Mon-Wed I have been very good, so hopefully the...

Choice Hello there - well done on your weight loss so far :) Yes, I think there is a lot of choice. Maybe 35 dishes you can chose for dinner? That's assuming you eat everything. I don't take red meat, so for me there are a few less. My only comment would be that the dinners tend to focus on...

Amazing! You are doing so well! Am not hopeful about my next weigh in tomorrow... It was a weekend where I was constantly hungry, and we had guests so I drank too much :( Oh well, even half a pound will be good all things considered. Plus I guess it will give me motivation to do well this week!

A little frustrated Thanks for the motivation. I am a little frustrated, since I have not lost a gram in the last 2 days! Sadly I think the fast pounds are over and from now on I have to manage my expectations to a couple lbs a week max... Which is healthy, but seeing them come off faster has...

Well - the results are in! 2lbs this week, so 15lbs total :D Altogether, I am chuffed with a stone in 5 weeks. Next hamper should ship tomorrow, so I am up for another stone this hamper!!

Jenny Craig Well hello! I think Jenny Craig is sort of similar, and I know you can get that in US. Have you looked at this site? Shipping Diet Chef from UK would be a real pain, and expensive. I'd try a month on Jenny Craig (or similar) and see how you get on. Good luck!!

Thanks. Well, weigh in is on Weds but I am meeting a friend for dinner in a pizza place tonight.....! Oh dear. Maybe I can try to stick to a salad.... I purposefully didn't have any extra stuff today so I have about 500 kcals to play with. Am bloomin' starving now! Will let you know on Weds how...

Yay! I really hope I break the stone barrier too this week :) Really well done, especially with all the travel. Losing a whole stone without really doing anything that tough is great... Here's to 20lbs, then 2 stone!!

Best of luck to you both. SuZann - I love cooking, but this has been a refreshing change! I like most soups (chix & thyme.... I'd pass) and I really like the chix & bean salad, and the dinners tend to be good. Sometimes I wonder that the saturated fat is a little high, but now I am aware of...

Hey, it's a long term thing, right? Tonight I had 2 pints and 2 glasses of wine.... So I have prob put on a bit again, but that's ok so long as it's not every night! Did you have some good options on your trip or was it all fried/ heavy food? And you have a few days to make good.... You might...

My 4th week: another 3 lbs! So 13 total. Really happy with that, and I should break the stone barrier this coming week :D

Hi Kirstie - welcome back! I am sure you can shift the extra couple of stone. At least it's not so dark now so I don't feel the need to eat heavier carbs. That said, I really pigged out this weekend on a business conference! Pub lunch, and then a boozy night.... But, overall it's all heading in...

You will make it, don't worry! So far I have lost 10lbs in 3 weeks, and hope to shift another few this week. I think DC is really easy, and even with a few slip ups you will get there in a little while.

3lbs for me! So 11 in total. Which I like to think of as 3/4 stone :) My work trousers are definitely a big baggy on the thighs. Another couple of weeks and I will have to get some new clothes!

It's great when you fit better into jeans, isn't it? I no longer have quite such a muffin top in mine :) I do weigh myself most days, but only to keep on track rather than get preoccupied by it. I find if I'm static it helps me say no to biscuits the next day!! I have hamper 2 arriving in a...

I would go on to the Diet Chef website and there is a box to chat to an advisor. I always find them helpful, and they should be able to tell you whether the diet is suitable for you. Also, even if the pounds aren't coming off as fast as you would like them too, eating healthily and avoiding...

Amazing! I hope I make 2.8 lbs this week... If you can keep that up you'll soon hit your first stone! Just polished off the carrot & butterbean soup, a banana and a low fat Activia. I'm trying to eat a couple of things with lunch, or I think I have been dipping too low on cals which may be...

So gross! And so motivational....

Also, have you guys noticed less weight loss on days when you have the pasta dishes? I noticed the day after eating pasta I am static, or have even put on a few hundred grams (which is sooo depressing), but then another day later it drops twice as much. So it doesn't really bother me, since it...

Well, I had my week 2 weigh in too, and lost another 3lbs! Which makes 8 in total. Just over half a stone :) And I am especially happy since I was on a course 3 days this week - hotel breakfast alert - so even though it's less than week one, that's ok. Hopefully since I was eating relatively...

Lost 5lbs in week one! Yay. And that is with a big night out on Friday, lots of drinks and one pub lunch - no drinks and grilled mackerel since I thought that sounded better than chips... The last couple of days it did slow down to practically no loss, so I think week two will be only a pound...

That's great. I hope I do so well.... Weigh in on Tuesday morning. On Friday I had a big dinner out, and I feel so bloated today. I hope two more days on the wagon helps!

Depends on how much rice... You have a few hundred cals spare for fruits etc, so if it is a small portion, that should be ok I think. After all they sell rice on the website too.

Hi there Any update? Are you still going? I hope so!!

I just started today! I am so excited. Need to buy some scales tomorrow so I can record my starting point! The food today I thought was ok - porridge was filling and tasty (even made with half water), the soup was good and I had a bag of cheese & onion bakes with it and a banana, but the...
