New You plan - aiming for 3 stone by Christmas

268 replies

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 lost 3lbs more this week and am going to weigh again on Xmas eve morning then not again till Tuesday 4th.

How you stop it coming back on when you returned to normal eating?

MrsBeefy · 28/12/2021 07:41

Please can someone send me a referral code? I need something to kickstart my weight loss journey (6 stone to loose to get to a healthy bmi!) and the positive results and mindset on this thread have encouraged me to go for it! Thank you x

Hippywannabe · 28/12/2021 21:17

@MrsBeefy I have sent you mine. Hope you enjoy the plan. Do post and let us know. X

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 28/12/2021 21:33

Have put in my first order, can I just ask, were you really really hungry the first few days? If so when did it ease off?

Hippywannabe · 28/12/2021 21:42

I wasn't @HalfShrunkMoreToGo but I am very good at drinking the water, I have hot water on the go most of the time so I think that helps.
It is definitely the easiest diet I have ever been on.
Make sure you join the FB group too, it is really supportive. I am happy to pm my real name on there if you want to chat.

MrsBeefy · 29/12/2021 10:58

Thanks @Hippywannabe I have placed my order for the 2 week starter bundle and some pineapple boost to help with my water intake. Have you all avoided diet fizzy drinks whilst on the plan?

Hippywannabe · 29/12/2021 11:46

Yes, but that was easy as I am not a fan of fizzy.
The pineapple boosters are lovely hot.
I am having leek soup for dinner and vegetable risotto for dinner tonight. They are two of my favourites.

Hippywannabe · 31/12/2021 09:11

Over the moon today, braved the scales and have stayed the same over Xmas. I normally gain at least 7lbs!
I haven't gone mad but had 24th-28th off plan.
Onward and downward!

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 01/01/2022 10:56

Well done @Hippywannabe !!

My order hasn't arrived yet, I knew it was likely to be next week but really hoped when I got the email a couple of days ago that it was with DPD that it would make it to me before the weekend.

I've been watching what I eat and have upped my water in preparation, hoping I can work through the low carb hunger/withdrawal period before my packs arrive and I've taken my full length photos this morning so I have my starting point documented.

Hippywannabe · 01/01/2022 14:54

Fantastic. Are you on the FB group yet? Pm me if you want my real name so you can find me on there. X

Viostep · 01/01/2022 21:05

I placed an order for the one week starter pack I the 27th. Hoped it would have arrived by now, but I suppose it'll be Wednesday now.

I'm a bit apprehensive as I have PCOS, which = slow weight loss. Really hope I can stick to it and get 3 stone off in time for my daughter's first birthday in June!

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 02/01/2022 11:16

My packs have arrived today!

Had a pineapple booster already and it was nice, a bit artificial tasting but that's what I expected and it was still very tasty and easily drinkable.

Stepped on the scales and the water and low cal/carb has resulted in a 4lb water weight loss since Wednesday so happy with that. 😀

Campervan69 · 03/01/2022 12:48

This plan looks tempting. Does anyone have a referral code please? I'd like to lose 2 stone.

Hippywannabe · 03/01/2022 14:53

@Campervan69 I have sent you a pm with mine which will.give us both £10 credit.
How is everyone getting on? I am back to school tomorrow and ooking forward to normality. I am starting a 2nd 12 week run of packets only and hoping to be at target at the end.

Super thanks 😊 have 2 stone to lose. Am determined as have a couple of trips away with my female friends this year to sunny climes postponed since our 50ths.

Hippywannabe · 03/01/2022 15:26

Oh brilliant. Anywhere nice?

Campervan69 · 03/01/2022 15:35

Ibiza in September and Spain in May. So yes, lovely 😍 can't wait. Definitely an incentive to make this work.

Campervan69 · 04/01/2022 17:50

I'm on board. Weighed in at 12 stone 6lbs. I've got some Cambridge shakes to use up so will start on those until my order arrives. Hope I like the tastes as it's a lot cheaper than Cambridge.

Hippywannabe · 05/01/2022 07:16

@Campervan69 I have liked the taste of every product pretty much. My favourite is the vegetable risotto made with a teaspoon of bouillon powder added.
My least favourite is the burger mix, I added chilli powder to it for extra flavour but won't buy again.
The soups are really tasty too. I am not overly keen on the sweet products but I think that is personal taste-I would rather have a meal pack than a chocolate brownie pack, for example.
I tend to have a shake, a soup, a meal and then a bar. Three times a week I will have a bag of their crisps too.

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 05/01/2022 07:50

I like the spicy noodle nosh the most so far of the few things I've tried, cottage pie and 4 cheese pasta were ok but not fantastic. The cafe latte milkshake is much better with a spoon of instant coffee added to it.

I've lost 6lb week 1.

Hippywannabe · 06/01/2022 16:06

Try adding in a teaspoon of boillon to add a bit more flavour.
I have 1 packet of Irish Stew left which I am saving as I actually have enough packs to last till February so really shouldn't order any more....

Campervan69 · 06/01/2022 18:04

My delivery hasn't come yet so still on the Cambridge. Am v hungry today, perhaps its because its so cold.

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 06/01/2022 20:18

@Campervan69 I've been feeling the hunger too, have been having lots of hot drinks, including heating up my shakes in the microwave, somehow hit drink is more satisfying than cold.

I did the unbelievable today, it staggers my mind that I was capable of such strength 😀 I walked past Cinnabon and didn't stop to buy a massive cinnamon roll!!

Campervan69 · 06/01/2022 20:39

I've just binged on clementines. I couldn't help it. I'm bloody starving. I have a house full of men and boys who are constantly cooking delicious smelling food. Eldest son just back from the gym, now frying up spicy chicken ffs. It's relentless.
