Hi I have 20 lbs to go. Would welcome new friends to give and receive mutual support :p

Hi Brenda ! Welcome :) You will get a lot of support here to hopefully help you kick those habits for good ! I am coming up to 6 weeks in to my journey. I will send you a friend invite and very happy to support you when needed. I am in the UK - where are you ? Good Luck !

Hi and welcome. Injuries are a PITA I buggered my knee about a year ago and I know just how you feel. Do keep going though as you say, and you will get lots of support from others. B) Also happy if you want to add me

West Berkshire here ! Welcome B)

West Berkshire so not too far B)

Hi Amber, I am also in UK. I had a total of 29lbs to lose. Started on 9th January and currently 8lbs down so about 20 to go. Last two weeks have been static but I am keeping going ! Well done on your loss ! :)

Hi and good luck on your journey :)

Best of luck !

Hi I agree support is always a life saver on those "off days". I am only 5 weeks in to my journey and I have not started to build my group of friends but need to do so, so please feel free to add me. Best of luck !

Wow thats great ! Well done. Hopefully your goal was not to lose 60lbs in a couple of weeks ? B)

Try not to feel too discouraged. I have been on the journey for 5 weeks and today I was also a bit despondent that for the last two weeks I have not moved a single ounce, despite me sticking to the food count religiously. I have learned a lot today from others about factors that can affect your results (such as water…

Thanks Susan. To be fair I wasn't doing so to start with but when I reported getting headaches I was advised (along with some great advise on over hydration and caffeine withdrawal) that I should. I am using a tracker that does make the adjustment automatically to MFP but as you say who knows how accurate they are. To be…

No I don't plan on being catered for by Diet Chet forever. Does anyone who uses the service ? How rude ! I used Diet Chef several years ago when I needed to lose some weight and found it very useful in actually understanding what correct portion sizes were more than anything and getting me on the right track to start with.…

Best of luck !

Good luck !

Best of luck !

Hello ! Very best of luck on your journey

Sorry if I have offended you. I will check out the link. Thanks

Thank you Wizzybeth. I had 29lbs to lose, but only 20 left. You are so right about getting down heartened (especially if, as it appears, I am setting myself unrealistic goals) as I have quite enjoyed the routine of regular meals, and healthy ones too. The change in eating patterns and what I am consuming has really not…

Thanks for the reassurance everyone. :) I will step away from the ledge and try to be more patient. Think I will give the alcohol a miss anyway just to see. Also one good point above that I over looked - sodium ! Whilst the prepared meals are set in nutrients I should probably stop adding extra salt !!!! (more of a habit…

Understood but I really want to see if it makes that much difference in reality. I am committed to losing a bit of weight and not indulging in all of my "wants" but it would be remiss of me to claim I intend to be alcohol free for the rest of my days. I enjoy a glass of wine with my evening meal. What other things can mask…

Thank you. To be honest by trying to get the water taken in I have not even thought about making tea of coffee so that was not an intentional change but I also had no idea about the fact you could get withdrawal. Will cut down on the glasses of water I think and reintroduce my two or three cups of coffee per day and see if…

Thank you !

Thank you. I have 28lbs left to lose. As I say I am only on week three (weigh in due Monday) but the first two weeks I did loose 3lb each week. Maybe I need to start eating back the cals I earn from the bit of exercise I am being awarded as another poster has indicated.

I am working to 1200 cals per day. The good thing with Diet Chef is it is balanced ready prepared meals and I just have to add veg or salad so I am not restricting any food group. I am not overly active (desk job) but my fit bit adjustment for exercise gives me 3 to 400 more calories. I must admit I have not been using…
