:break_diet:Looks like its over to slimming world for me, couldn't maintain the disclipine without a person weighing me once a week. :o:rolleyes:

Hi there. You're a bit of a star E&S. Thanks for the encouragement. I always value it on this little ole website. X

Hi there. I'm back from the 2 weeks of holidays and associated excess and the two weeks of study. It was a silly pressure to try to shed poundage at the same time so I will manage better this time. Here's hoping you are all doing fine? Cat xx

Hi there, Half a pound gone but I'm not sticking to the DC as I should - I'll get back on it but my focus just isn't in it properly for now. Cx

cats week three weigh in ' Mornin', It looks like a like a little more of me has gone, which is pleasing as I have had an indulgent week. I've ordered some more grub via the phone and this time will be getting a week free per month as I'm committing to two months minimum. I went clothes...

Yesterday was my birthday and I did a lot of birthday things which I now need to stop doing so I can be back on track. :break_diet: It all part of the journey. I think I might be getting over my crush at work as well which would be helpful.:o Hope you are all well. Cx

Hey guys! Thanks for the encouragement. I'm on-call for work this weekend and finding it hard at times not to justify a take way but - drum role - it looks like the self-discipline has paid off! 4lbs today make a total of 6lbs in 2 weeks. :) I've also seen that there is a thread called the...

Same thing happened to me, but I descided just to keep as close as poss and not worry. I'm trying to take the approach that I don't want to over-analyse it all - that of course includes not getting on the scales on a daily basis - which I am completely failing at... :rolleyes: Bye for now, Catx

Good stuff. Ill look forward to hearing the update. C

Hi all, Just a pop in to say I'm still at it and feeling good. Having the odd glass of wine but otherwise on track. Cant complain about the food at all; what's not to like. :p Cat

Weigh in No 1 It seems that 2 lbs have gone! I'm delighted but strangely sombre about it as well - it seems so tiny, but it is the same as as one of those 2lb bags of sugar so it's not to be scoffed at. I have had a birthday celebration with a friend today and had some pudding; life is for...

Day 6 Hi all, Its first weigh in tomorrow. No problems with the food but some are more to my taste than others. I have been a little off course this weekend; had 'a couple' of glasses of wine last night but I don't think I exceeded my calories. Might do tomorrow as a friend is having his...

So day three of Diet Chef... Hello, It was a bit more tricky to get the food eaten as I really wasn't feeling well with the aforementioned cold when I got up; I'd had really difficult sleep with a seriously bad cough. Its amazing to me how I can forget to eat if I slip out of routine and so...

Thanks Neeni - its good to get a response. I guess from the activity there aren't a lot of people doing this diet. I agree about it being an easy one , but who would believe it; it actually feels quite nice not being really full and bloated at the end of my meal. The 40g of brown rice feels just...

Day 2 of diet chef Day 2 is nealy done and no problem. I'm still feeling a little sniffley but certainly didn't feel hungry. I found the "myfitness pall" app for my iphone and I guess the hardest part is making sure I eat enough to make up the recommended intake of cals/carbs/fats and protein...

The end of the first day The first day draws to a close and it wasn't difficult at all; the food was really nice. I familiarised myself with the very useful MyFitnessPal calorie counter and all the progress tickers. Now I just need to get on with it, and weigh in next weekend. :D

OK, so that was interesting. I just had the chocolate granola 'hearty breakfast' (made me smile) 40g. Well, it was as tiny as I expected but I used a small spoon and it actually was fine; tasty, crunchy and satisfying. I have got to say, my main museli recently has been a tripple choc M and S...

Hi Becksie, I was wondering if its a bit lonley on the diet chef forum so its good to hear from you. A stone down is indeed fab and I cant wait til I can say that. I've just had a look at the "inspiration" slideshow and its real food for thought. Im feeling a little under the weather with a...

Hi there. I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier - I haven't logged on for ages. Sadly, I couldn't stick to it so I'm back where I started. Today I'm making a fresh start with Diet Chef so fingers crossed. I hope you're doing well? Catx

Hi Broxi, I tried hypnotherapy recently too but it didn't seem to help much. My life has been a bit of a roler coaster recently and there has been a lot of sitting around which is not how I am usually - so 'a few' extra pounds have piled on. I did Lighter Life 2 or three years ago and had great...

Hi Neeni, Great to see you on here. I'm starting tomorrow, having got my delivery today. I'm looking forward to trying stuff out. The breckfast portions look teeeny. Cat

Hello, I got all the packs today for a month and I'm starting tomorrow morning so I will try to post here about how I get on and hopefully share the trails and tribulations with those of you on the same path. Warm wishes,:grouphugg: Cat x

Hi there, Of course it works and of course its difficult. I'm certainly losing. I think it is taking longer to get to ketosis but I'm OK. Looking forward to wearing my size 12 clothes for summer. ;¬)

So, onto day 3. I seem to be doing OK. Sleeping beautifully and feeling lighter with looser clothes. I passed up on some home made cake yesterday and stayed on track. It seems reasonably easy so far. I have a new friend who is cooking for me on Friday and I can't really 'get out of it' as...

Hi Minerva, I'll be wishing you well and looking forward to seeing how you get on. I guess I'm taking the same approach I do with my pc - a bit of a reboot (and detox/clean up) to remind myself that I can't let it all go, at least not all of the time. :o Abstinence feels almost like a time...

Hi all, I'm back. Happy but back. I got to goal last summer, did most of RTM and had 7 lbs to play with. I still feel great and the size 12 clothes still fit (just about) but I have edged over the 7lbs that I allowed myself so I'm taking control again. This is what normal people do...

Well, I didn't exactly stick to the plan at the weekend :break_diet:and it has thrown me but I have just had a look at Mrs Lards thread on how not to do LL RtM and will take her advice so still feeling hopeful.:o

Robzer, I was ready to go into rtm before I had done 12 weeks of foundation. I was just moved from my previous group into an RTM one. C

BTW, I think there are big differences between planning a lapse (like for a holiday or a wedding) and breaking with the plan because of a stressor (which we can then learn from, predict and plan to avoid). Not everyone might agree with me here though, but I have clearly done both - one is much...

Hello, Thank you for the words of encouragement and well done to you! The fish portion was prob twice the size of a portion that one of my slim friends would have (a packets of seafood designed for 2 for example). It did not look huge by any stretch of the imagination. Interestingly my...

I lost 4 lbs in week one of RTM. can start to add in low fat dairy now and the diet drinks are allowed. Went for a run with a friend tonight and it felt great. Need to focus on thought records. Very tired. Cat

Hello All, So tonight I will be going back to class at the end of week 1 in RTM and I think I have had an OK week, apart from the one night where alcohol made an early unscheduled appearance. I have to say, it has been a pleasant surprise to enjoy salad leaves so much. I have always shied...

RTM - days 1 and 2 Hello, Today is my third day of RTM. I have shed 44lbs since 25th of May and my BMI is now just under 25, where I would be very happy for it to stay. :cool: I have had 3 food-packs on each day and a Sainsbury’s seafood medley, which was lovely. The first day, I mixed...

Hello Kelly, there is such a lot - the best thing to do - and I'm sure you have done it already - is to browse through the LL threads. I have had a really easy time on LL; period pain went away, felt really energetic, no extra hair loss, slept like a baby, didn't feel hungry, nails became...

I think it might be an idea for me to write about how this will go for me. I have loved foundation - LL is one of the best things that has ever happened for me and that is not ketosis talking. I dont know how keeping a sort of shared diary will go. I have kept an eye on the forum over my 4...

Thank you Tange, I appreciate your advice and support. C

Hello all, Everything has been going great but today ended with a rough hour and I think it might help if I write it down. It might also help with the automatic thought processing that we have just started learning about in class. I have reduced my weight by 2 stone since starting LL about 5...

My sleep is the best it has ever been. I'm on week 3-4. I think it is about being generally healthier; no alc/no sugar or carb highs and feeling more in control and knowing that we are doing something for ourselves. I'm sure the ketosis positivity helps eliminate some worry as well. All the best, C
