Hi All,
Yet another new lamb in the fold. Found this diet by accident whilst seeing if I could get one of the more expensive versions cheaper on eBay!! Hamper arrived on Tuesday and as I was night duty I dived straight in. The very first thing that impressed me was that nowhere on any of the packaging does it have those awful words ‘DIET FOOD’. When I get back on days I can happily take in the soups or meals and cook like everyone else without people sasying ‘Oh she’s on another diet - wonder how long this will last’ I work in an office of stick insects and self righteous dieters - not really condusive to try and lose 7+ stone so top marks for packaging!! Had a couple of soups and main meal so far and they are scrummy - might even get the better half interested!! It fair to say I am a proffessional failed dieter. The most spectacular success and failure was LighterLife - lost 7.5 stone - kept it off for a while and then got cocky and - hey presto back it all came with avengance - I know I’m a stress eater - wardrobe fall of clothes that don’t fit - feel fat - am fat - really angry with myself - instant stress - more eating - off we go again! The one thing that really helped me last time was the blog and I hope it will again. I have been reading all your wonderful stories and everyone seems very supportive so I will try not to be too much of a bore. So meals at the ready - will power fired up and raring to go - and a new blog to help me - how can I go wrong - or is this tempting fate. Day at a time - small goals - and no retribution for slips - sounds like I might be learning !! I really hope so - watch this space.

Hi Fugs,
Welcome to the DietChef gang, I’ve been on it for 2 months now and am still enjoying it. Like you I lost loads of weight and gained it all back on. So you did the lighter life plan, I was going to try it but thankfuly I came across DietChef, much cheaper. I dont think I would have stuck to a diet of just shakes, I like propper food.
The first month I lost over a stone and have been loosing since.
Good luck!

Hi- I’ve just “joined” Dietchef and have started today! I read your story and just want to tell you I have been dieting for 3 years now and have lost 4 stone- It’s been very slow and steady to say the least!!!!! I started at slimming world, but more recently weightwatchers which has been brill! BUT I have started to struggle and put weight back on-hence why I’m here-for a kick up the bum and a kick start!Just stick with it-I’m pleased I have for 3 years! I’ve seen people come and go- lose loads of weight quick and then put it all back-back to square 1-not plodding old me though-I’m still hanging on in there!!!! GO FOR IT YOU CAN DO IT!!!
