New You plan - aiming for 3 stone by Christmas

268 replies

fallenover · 08/09/2021 15:59

I have stalled at this weight for ages and been on a permanent diet / watching what I eat / walking and keeping active. All to little effect. I feel like I need a boost and to give my metabolism a bit of a shock and get the scales moving downwards.

So I have decided to follow the New You plan and just placed my order.

Anybody want to join me on this journey with the aim of keeping motivated and sharing hints, tips and success stories.

I have been sorting out my box of food today.

The photo show the contents of my two week kick start bundle.

Feeling very happy -

I started on Friday evening (strawberry shake and crispy caramel bar for supper - no hunger pangs).

Saturday - we had friends coming for lunch. So breakfast of vanilla shake. Late lunch, including glass of rosé, two dark and stormy, an icecream ... loads of water and walk to get in 12000 steps.

Sunday - on the scales - down 2lbs. Feeling very positive

Yes - I got the shaker bottle, tape measure etc. The charts are good. I got a 12 week chart - so I'm going to start completing that from Monday.

I did my first fill day today. I did the cottage pie as my main meal, it tasted nicer than it looked! I had it with some cabbage on the side.

I've not felt hungry.

For all those starting this week - Onwards and downwards.

As my wrist band says - Day One Until It's Done.

Who else is in?

I weighed, oh dear! starting weight of 11.13 1/4 (I'd got down to 11.5 before the pandemic and ideally would like to be around 10 stone again, when I used to think I was fat!!!).
Am currently doing Exante which I ordered a while ago. Have got 30 days worth if I eat one proper meal a ay and then the shakes etc for the other two. Really would like to lose a stone before Christmas if anything!
Good luck. Started the day with a banana shake.

Hippywannabe · 13/09/2021 09:44

My box is out for delivery!!
Can you have veg? It seems a bit daft to me that you can't but I haven't seen any pics of people eating veg or salad.
Are the shakes nice made with water? I don't really like the taste of milk on its own

Yes - the shakes are nice made with water. I have tried chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.

I am having low carb veg with my packet of main meal. I feel the need to have some fresh food in the day.

I think that is wise.
My box is here so tomorrow I start.

Just to say my shaker leaked - so be careful! They are adding another shaker to my next order. Customer service chat is good.

What did it taste like?
Was it nice?

fallenover · 13/09/2021 16:08

@Hippywannabe

What did it taste like? Was it nice?
It tastes OK - and doesn't smell awful. The cottage pie last night looked a bit like baby food - but I had it with some cabbage and that helped.

Tonight I have pasta carbonara and I am going to have a few mushrooms on the side.

I also have the pineapple boosts which I enjoy. Constantly drinking water as recommended!

I still need to do my measurements .

Hippywannabe · 14/09/2021 22:21

Day 1 done, chocolate shake-delicious
Lemon bar-lovely
Spicy noodles-delicious but tiny portion so ate with a teaspoon 🤣🤣
Pancakes-burnt to pan so binned
Coconut bar.
Not hungry at all but do not eat a 2nd bar without being near the loo!

AudTheDeepMinded · 16/09/2021 10:34

Day 4 here, not doing too bad. It was bad week to start as I came on on Monday and always want to eat the world! Trying to resist weighing myself but hoping for a two pound loss at least on Monday as it's the first week. Then a pound each week after that. Fingers crossed.

Hippywannabe · 16/09/2021 22:06

Well done!
I have done 3 full days and am really surprised at the quality and taste of the meals. Everything has been lovely. I will be ordering more over the weekend.
Hoping for a good loss , am off to stay with my son for the weekend so have sorted out supplies and am hoping I will stay strong.
Keep going x

Hippywannabe · 17/09/2021 22:09

Day 4 done and in the bag.
Banana shake, chicken soup, pasta carbonera and a chocolate crispie bar.
Not hungry at all, even went to the chippie for chippie tea for the family we are visisting and resisted.
Even turned down DS2's birthday cake!

I had chocolate shake, chicken soup, cottage pie and a dark chocolate truffalo bar.
Delicious.

Hippywannabe · 21/09/2021 07:33

First weigh in, 9.2 lbs down! Thrilled with that.

Hi All!

Well I completely failed - I have been ill and so haven't even started! I still really want to do this though so as soon as I can I want to start. How are you all doing?

Hi, I'm thinking of ordering today to start next week. How are you all getting on?
Does anyone have a referral code they'd like me to use?

Very well. I shall be a stone down before 3 weeks. I've never done such a successful diet before! I have not felt hungry on my four packs and 4 litres of water a day. With the main meal I have some low carb veg - which isn't allowed but I need the fibre. I now do believe that 3 stone is possible by Christmas.

Sorry,- I forgot to,say get well soon. It's very low calorie if you are doing the New You Plan, so make sure you are well first.

I am absolutely loving it. I am sticking to the total meal replacement and haven't found anything I dislike.
Have you joined the Secret slimmers page on FB for the plan, I have and it is good.
If you are having veg, there is also the New You Plan Switch group.
I have also had a look in the files and found some workbooks and listened to some of the old motivational talks.
I cannot tell you how thankful I am to you for posting this thread as I hadn't heard of it before.
