Hi GenFo

I'm out here :happy: I have found that this forum and the one of DC are really, really quiet!!! I think it is shame as I think there are a lot of us DC'ers out there.

I have just received my 2nd delivery so am happy to let you know how I have got on if you have any questions???

Good luck :bigsmile: and let me know how you go??

I know what you mean about the hunger pangs, although I do know when it's dinner time lol.

I would advise anybody starting out to use MyFitnessPal but it looks like you've already found that out this is a great tool for logging your daily calorie intake, especially with the barcode scanner.

My best "find" is individually portioned microwave rice with vegetables. It's lower calories than half a pouch of ordinary rice & I'm getting my veggies.

As this is your first month, did you order a wide selection of food to try everything out? I did this & then used the delivery slip to make comments about the food so I would know what to order next time (I can forget a lot in one month!). I highlighted dishes I loved, crossed through those I didn't like (not many here!) or said that things were ok & would order again. I then used this as a reference when changing my next order as some meals I will eat once a week but some only once a month etc

Hope this help & let me know how you get on & if you pick up any tips along the way :happy:

Hi! great tip about the rice/veg bags, didn't know about them (link below for any other readers)

I've added to my tesco basket online, a godsend thanks!!

I joined DC nearly a year ago and have lost over 4 stone since.

Congratulations & well done!!! I too had approx 4 stone to lose. I am nearly 2 mths in & already just over a stone lighter. I can't believe how easy it is :happy:

At least you are inspiring us that it is achievable.... Are you still using DC as maintenance and, if so, how does that work? How many calories can you have a day?

Again, well done you, you must be really proud :bigsmile:

Not on diet chef now no, I stopped using it once I hit bmi of 25. I aim for between 1200 and 1600 cals a day and am sort of trying to exercise a bit more!

Hi Everyone
Im just starting my second week and have lost 4lb last week. Long long way to go, but the meals are quick and tasty.

*Creeps in and waves* I'm here too :P

Hi Everyone. My first food box arrived today so I am looking forward to starting this tonight. Its great to hear some of the success stories in this thread to motivate me!

I have never tried to lose weight 'socially' so I hope by having other people to be accountable to and talk to, this will make mine a success story too!

I'm starting in a few weeks when I get back from my (all inclusive!) summer holiday. There should be plenty to lose after 2 weeks of open buffet!

Hi, if anyone is still here I am just wondering how people have got on with Diet Chef in the past? I am now into my second week and I am loving it haven't weighed myself yet though so I don't know if I have lost anything, but I feel great and love how easy it is

Hi Bud_ Thank you for your post. That is great to hear, especially as I have just ordered the 12 week plan now as well. I am now on my final week of my first 4 week plan, and I have already lost just over 11 lbs, so I am very optimistic about the results after being on the 12 week plan Thank you ! and well done with your 100 lbs loss ! Very inspiring.

Hi Carolyn Sounds like you're doing a great job already - Well done! As mentioned above I'm still using DC and very happy to continue with them. Good luck!

Hi Carolyn, I'm on my first day of DC! Just found this forum and is very quiet. Our stats are very similar; I'm 16 st 7lbs and 5'1 in height. I'm currently feeligible hungry, but I guess that'll get easier, I hope!
