Hi everyone. Received my Wii fitness today which I have just been playing on. My weight was showing 12st 5lb which is a loss of 4lb since starting on Monday. (I also have a Wii fitness age of 38 which is 4 years younger than I am, which again I was chuffed about seeing as I don’t do any exercise)I was gobsmacked and had to run upstairs to check my weight on the scales there and lo and behold it showed 12st 5lb as well. I am well chuffed to say the least. I didn’t think I would lose as much weight after only 4 and a half days on the plan. I feel as though I am eating more than usual as the portion sizes are so reasonable. I haven’t felt hungry once and I am still eating my 5 portions of fruit and veg each day.
To date I have tried the Parsnip, Pea and Ham and Beef and Tomato soups for lunch and they are all sooooo tasty and filling. The soups alone keep me full for up to 4 hours. For the dinners I have had the mushroom stroganoff which is to die for it is so delicious, the chilli, venison sausages and mutton stew. My husband is sick of me saying how tasty everything is at mealtimes. I’ve added veg at dinner and have fruit with the granola and for mid morning snack. Its just hard to believe that every dish, although low in calories could be so tasty, I find myself looking forward to my mealtimes, not because of hunger but because they are all so delicious. One thing I have noticed as well is that I don’t feel as bloated and I certainly don’t feel deprived of anything as I did with other diets.
Another good thing is that I haven’t craved sweets or chocolate once!!! As I am a self confessed chocaholic normally. Today I had a meeting in a hotel so couldn’t take lunch with me, so I opted for a cheese and apple salad, which came minus the apple as the chef forgot to add it to the plate, nevertheless I couldn’t manage to eat it all as I was still full from breakfast and I hadn’t had my apple as my mid-morning snack!!
Can’t wait to try the new dishes, it’s just a shame I have to wait another 3 weeks before I receive another hamper as I ordered a months supply to motivate me. Not that I need it on this plan. You can’t really call it a diet as you are eating such delicious food. Even shop bought ready meals don’t come close to being as tasty and delicious as the ones on the plan and they are so convenient.
Good luck everyone with your weight loss, it’s nice to hear how you are getting on and reading your stories and comments. I will weigh in on Monday as I will have done a full week on the plan but todays weigh- in has really spurred me on.

Hi Jules!
Great to hear that you’re getting on so well. I’m hoping to buy Wii fitness next month, so keep me updated on how you get on with the exercises!
I’m out at and engagement party tomorrow night, the first night out since I started, I’m hoping to only drink vodka, lime and soda which will keep my calorie count low. I hope it doesn’t slow down my weight loss for the week though!!
Bye for now.

Hi Dona
Thanks for your comment. Enjoy your night out, you deserve it!! At least this plan doesn’t restrict you on nights out, etc. As long as we are careful in what we choose to eat and drink it shouldn’t matter too much. Anyway, we girls need a break now and then!! I am due to go out in a couple of weeks for a meal with friends myself and I’m not worried about it whereas before on diets I would be worried about what I could and couldn’t eat and ended up not enjoying myself because I felt so guilty.
Good luck in getting your Wii. Hope they haven’t sold out before you get one. Only had a little play on it last night but hope to do some more this weekend.
Speak soon

Hi everyone
Its great reading everyones comments on here. I’m just into day 3 and i concur with everyone, the meals taste so good. Can’t wait til the week is up and i can get weighed to see how much i have lost.
Wonder if anyone out there can help me. How do you post an initial comment on the firswt blog page. I can’t seem to find out where to start a blog, only to add a comment to one.

Hi Julie 2
If you email info@dietchef.co.uk, give a small introduction about who you are and what you want to lose, etc.and explain you want to start your own diary, they will send you a user name and password to start doing this. That’s what I did. Good Luck.

Hi Jules 1
Thanks for the information Julie. Good luck with your weight loss. I’ve got around 2 1/2 to 3 stone to lose. This diet seems great, as all the food is so tasty. I love the granola. I didn’t think i would like it. The 1st day i had it with cold skimmed milk and raspberries, but since i’ve been heating it the microwave and it tastes like warm flapjack which is yummy. I’m on day 4 of the diet and unfortunately had 2 meals out booked for this weekend, but i made really wise choices so hopefully it won’t have effected me too much. Looking forward to getting weighed on thurs to see my loss (hopefully)

Well done on your weight loss Julie.
I had a wii fit on pre-order but cancelled it as with my current hip problem, it would be wasted and just sat in the box.
