This! Still me. Haven't thrown away a thing and I'm down 4 sizes. Also didn't buy any new sizes till my clothes literally fell off. Doing the dishes with pants round my ankles...

If I'm feeling like I need more to eat, which may lead to eating anything at hand, I make a spicy vege curry. Very low cal, as it's just veges and spices.

I think NZ does it differently....we don't have pre-made. I love the vanilla and banana shakes. I hate the bars, but force one down for lunch for the change. I've tried the tomato soup, and it's better than I thought. I do add veges to mine now as well. I'm just starting week 3. (Week 3, day 1)
