was looking at another thread and somebody mentioned this...

I had a look and i am very impressed but i just wondered what people thought?

[Valentine]

Ah i have decided to go for it!

It looks really fab!

[sapphire]

I think it was me who mentioned it lol. I signed up this morning and have been really surprised at the weekly food plan. Seems like there isn't any room to get hungry and good shopping list system too. I only signed up for 2 month and I'l see how it goes from there.

[Valentine]

i signed up for 2 months too... when do you start?

[sapphire]

today - just been a got all my shopping quite pleased as it was only £25 for two peoples worth!!

[Dancing Queen]

Yep, I signed up today too, but my actual diet starts on Weds (to give me time to get the food in).

Sapphire, did you really limit your food choices? It's just that I've been doing my online shopping, and it's so far over £100 :shock: :faint: for two of us, and I'm not finished!

i swapped some meals and snacks cos i didnt want to be buying loads in.

i am doing 4 day shops as i dont drive and i need to take the pram into adsa with me so thats all i could manage!

[Valentine]

Oh forgot to say... should we have a support thread?

[Dancing Queen]

Yep, sounds good to me Nay. I've been on their messageboards, but as the site is so new, it's not busy yet. It's be good to have one here so we can support each other, mentally and technically! :grin:

Yeah, I think that's ok. If I've had any questions about the food, I've emailed nutritionist@closerdiets.com and she's really helpful. I've already swapped around a load of meals this week (which is taking longer than I thought it would!), so am gonna leave my shopping lists as it is for now, and seriously downsize it next week!!

[Valentine]

me too... by the way i replied to your thread on the forum there... well at least i think it was you!

[Dancing Queen]

Yep, twas my thread! :grin:

Going to start a 'proper' support thread now, as I have my first question :nod: :smile:

[Chocolate Lips]

I saw this advertised and thought it looked good, seeing as there has been some positive remarks here I might give it a go!

[sapphire]

yeah definatly should have a support thread because their forum seems 'basic'

i really limited my shopping mainly because i didnt wanna buy stuff for things like snacks etc when they'd go off etc i also tried to find menu swaps so its basics like tinned goods and pasta where i can buy in bulk and for cheap cos i'm brassic at the minute.


i havent eaten my full allowance for today because i've just not been hungry and of course it seems so much lol. I even cut down my portions and it still seemed a lot but hey ho at least thats a good thing on days where i feel hungry.

[sapphire]

oooh another thing. i already had brekkie this morning so i just did a search for it and didnt tick the box.

[Valentine]

what? i dont understand???!

[sapphire]

lol no it didnt make sense did it.
i meant that if you dont eat whats planned you can always search for the meal and add it but you probably already knew that :grin:

[Dancing Queen]

Ah, see these are the thing I don't know as you don't see them til the diet starts! :thumb:

[ChelseaHarvey]

I dont know what your on about :puzzled:
