Welcome to my weigh in!
I have been on the Diet Chef plan since October and have had fabulous results so far! Details of all my previous weigh ins are here if you want a little look.
So last week I vowed to be fully back on the wagon and stick to the plan as I have done over the past 20 or so weeks. I would like to say it was a resounding success, but a number of factors made it a difficult week. I took part in the Comic Relief 6 hour Danceathon at Wembley and having not eaten all day, we had a takeaway when I returned. My mum came to visit and a couple of family meals took place. So all in all, I am a bit gutted about this week.
I do need to think of the big picture, of how far I have come and not let a cycle of guilt creep back into my thoughts. Things are going to happen in life and however ‘good’ you are being, there will be times when you fall off plan.
So onward and upwards. I have 5 weeks until we go on holiday, so for this 5 weeks I am going to kick some butt! I will start walking everyday again and make the next 5 weeks count. Then I will enjoy our short break, and a press trip I have following our family holiday (without going mad!). Then it will be focus all the way to my goal.
I can do this, I will do this.
Surviving the Comic Relief Danceathon and being part of an amazing team who raised £30,000!
Weight lost
-0lb (total -54lb in 22 weeks)
Total inches lost (across 10 measurements)
-0.5 ” (total 64″ in 22 weeks)
The programme I am on would cost £8.75 per day. However, if you order a 12 week supply this daily cost reduces to £6.61 (this is for all three meals and a snack). Check the website for great offers.
Disclosure: I am being sent Diet Chef hampers in order to review the programme. All opinions are 100% honest and are my own.

Don’t be too disappointed, I think you can take a huge positive away from this week. A takeaway + normal family meals + a little bit of exercise = maintaining weight. So just think, when you’ve finally reached your target weight, this is the type of week you can have EVERY week and stay at the weight you want to be. You know what the future looks like now. You can definitely get there xx

Thank you my lovely, such a kind comment. Yes I have my game face on now. I will do this! xx
You’ve done amazingly well! All of that dancing will have done you the world of good health wise, and I agree with the other comment above- look at the positives, you now know what you can get way with in order to stay at the same weight once you’ve reached your target!
I’ve a sinking feeling I didn’t say hi and give you a hug on Sunday! If not, here’s a v ritual one xxxxx

Thanks lovely, thanks for such a lovely comment and for my virtual hug! xxx
Wow, how amazing to take part in the dancethon you, you deserved a takeaway!! I always think that certain times of the year even if you are on a diet there should be times when it is relaxed, like Christmas, Birthdays and Anniversaries etc (and definitely after helping to raise all that money!) I would feel so grumpy if I went without at those special times, I also think it should that you are doing a great job and losing weight sensibly because even after a few treats this week you maintained!

Thanks so much huni, very kind comment x
A huge well done on doing the danceathon and your weight loss so far has been amazing. It can be easy to be despondent when it hasn’t been a good week weight-loss-wise but looking at the bigger picture shows just how far you have come. I think you definitely deserved your post-danceathon takeaway even if it has meant that this week has been a bit of a blip on your weight-loss journey.

Thanks huni, much appreciated x
It sounds to me like you are doing great! And you are right, you have done so well over a very long period of time, there is no point in beating yourself over a few slips. I am impressed with your overall progress xx
and the Danceathon results!

Ah thanks huni. I am really hard on myself! xx
You’re doing so well! Everyone has the odd blip on a diet but it’s just important to focus on the end goal 🙂
Author
Thank you huni, firmly focused on the end goal! x
You didn’t lose weight but you didn’t put on either! You’re doing fantastically x
Author
Thanks huni! x
You probably had a lot of fluid retention after the danceathon- I bet you will have lost heaps this week! x

Ooh hopefully! 🙂 I will find out on Wednesday x
Well done, Aby. I think you’ve done brilliantly. As others have said, the past week has shown you that you can maintain your weight when you’re off the programme. It’s all about balance – healthy eating, exercise – and treats too. Super well done too re the Danceathon, not only for the money raised but also for all those hours dancing – a feat to be very proud of xxx
