    Hi, I've been doing Diet Chef since 9th Feb this year and have gone from 15st 2lb to 13st 9lb when I weighed myself on the 11th!

    Only started DC to support the wife, who gave up after about a week! I've just had my 3rd delivery and am really enjoying it. It makes a hell of difference in portion sizes and made me realised how much more I was eating than I should have been!

    Joining MFP has made a difference too. It's great to see how many calories you can have in a day!

    I weigh myself on the Wii Fit as I think it's a lot better than an other scales on the market. I started with bathroom scales, but they just seemed so unreliable!

    Wow, thanks everyone for the messages, and lots of potential friends! I will try and add you if I can work out how!

    Well, that is me just finished 7 days on diet chef! Weighed in last night and have lost 2lbs. That is pretty remarkable since, confession time, I only did the diet for three days!!!! Got really down and had 4 days off plan (including eating out 3 of those days I think!!). So I am amazed that I have still lost weight. (Pizza hut, TGI fridays and Franky and Benny's -so all pretty calorific!)

    Really going for it this week, Monday to Friday then a bit of a day off for a friend's party and Easter, then back on it full force. It seems like a couple of days off won't do too much harm either!

    Oh, and the diet chef stuff is absolutely lovely. I've yet to find something that wasn't nice. The snack bars aren't so good but the oat bites (kind of like crisps) are nice, and the popcorn bag is huge, and really tasty!
    I'm glad I've done it - other half is doing it with me and he also lost 2lbs. One of our problems was having the right food in the house and being bothered to cook it! And DC certainly solves that problem. We had Chicken tikka last night but added some chips and onion rings instead of rice ( a small treat in comparison to blowing the diet completely and getting a full on takeaway!), we are having lasagne tonight, and there are heaps of lovely sounding dishes that we can't wait to try!

    Hope everyone has a good week!

    Hi there, as you can see by the responses there's a lot of us from the UK here. This really is a truly global site and it's great as we're all here to help each other.

    I did the Australian version of Diet Chef (The Diet Factory), I have also done Weight Watchers (UK & Australia) and Jenny Craig (Australia), Tony Ferguson (Australia) and BodyTrim (Australia) obviously by the quantity of names, I didn't stick to them. Weight Watchers actually provided the best results for me at the time, but the one aspect I noticed with the portion controlled diets (Jenny Craig and The Diet Factory) is that as soon as you stop (for whatever reason), you seem to gain weight quicker. This could just be my experience..

    My new process - learn what I eat and when and see what I need to change and incorporate change with adopting new foods such as the Mediterranean Diet, primarily because it's my favorite food type anyway.. (http://www.alfitness.com.au/article/id/126/pid/34/Mediterranean-Diet)

    Either way, good luck with it and welcome to MFP - I know there are some great success stories with Diet Chef and many other diet plans, and I wish you all the best with it as well.

    Hey Coco - I'm in the UK so feel free to add me as a friend. Would be really interested to hear how you get on with DC. I've not really considered those types of programmes before. Good luck.

    Hello hope you dont mind I have added a few of you as friends feel free to ignore the request if it doesn't suit. I have been on diet chef and using mfp for a month and not doing brilliantly. Just looking for a bit of suport and i think seeing what you eat in a day will help me to manage my own calories. Getting married next year so need to keep going! I am uk based.

    Hi
    I'm from London and doing Diet Chef.
    I got a week's supply half price on Groupon and lost 2kilos. I have now ordered a month's supply.
    It is great for me at the moment as I am often at home alone with various family members away travelling and working and I eithr can't be bothered cooking a big meal after a busy day working or I do cook and eat enough for four or I get a takeaway. This is a great way to save me time, effort and have portion controlled for me.
    I have enjoyed the meals and not felt hungry.
    I don't think I could do it for very long but I'll keep a supply available for when I want to get back on track in the future.
