    A week today since we started the diet and I have lost 6.5lbs and my other half has lost 9.5lbs and we are both over the moon.
    Can honestly say that I haven’t felt hungry at all, which is not like being on a usual diet when all you can think of is how long is it until the next meal. We have chosen meals from the book for breakfast lunch and dinner and I have weighed every thing. The meals are so tasty and enjoyable and a couple of evenings we also had a glass of red wine which I know is not allowed and we have still lost weight .
    Thank you to all of you for your encouragement and tips on this forum

    Wow, well done! Great work.

    I started this week Monday so am waiting to see my results on Monday (although weighed in Thurs morning as couldn’t resist and seemed to be 4lbs down already).

    Keep up the good work!

    Red wine is (sort of) allowed, it is just a big bunch of calories to take out of the required nutrition when you are only on 800 calories a day. If you have wine, I think it should be in addition to the 800, and stick to just the one glass as you have been doing.

    Hairymclary, love the name. Loved those stories, too, probably even more than my kids did!

    I love the name too – and the books, of course – which is why my dogs, both long-haired mutts, are called Hairy and Maclary 🙂

    Brilliant losses for you and O/H this week, Hairymclary – keep up the good work.

    Ha thank you and to Julia too .
    Am imagining when you have to call the dogs in a park or public place – brilliant!
    Slinky Malinky is a great name too

    Congratulations on your losses! My husband and I have an occasional glass of red wine as well and still are losing at a good rate. Compared to what we used to drink, sticking to an occasional glass is kind of miraculous.
