So today I decided to use up some left over powder for a Blissful Banana shake from Slimfast.
I must admit that it was very yummy, maybe because it was made with milk rather than water which the Biggest Loser shakes did.
I did feel fuller on the Biggest Loser, but I will be popping to the shops later to fill up on Slimfast products to see how I fair.
To be continued...
So I did Slimfast for a long while, about a week and I lost 1lb! I had chronic tummy ache and it was not good at all, to be honest both diets gave me tummy ache and I won't be doing it again. Slimming World for me now, sensible food!

Diet
So I have finished doing the Biggest Loser challenge, overall I thought it was easier than I thought it was going to be.
I was going to buy some more products, like Slim Fast but I have now got used to eating normal food again!
So yesterday I went food shopping and bought not a lot for £70. This week I am trying to eat salads for lunch, even though it is freezing!! Today I have had:
Muller Light Breakfast Corner Yoghurt
Salad made with coleslaw (reduced fat), ham, lettuce, watercress and spring onions and some feta cheese to add to it :) I am actually a little excited as I do like a good salad every now again, not sure if it will work through out the week though, especially if it keeps being this cold.
With these two, I have had about 750 calories. That does leave me with a lot for dinner, but it is crazy really!
Anyway, as I was making my salad last night I was keeping and eye on the calories, basically my salad is about 600 calories. Which I think is quite a lot, especially as I was having 600 calories on Biggest Loser for my Breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks combined.
Current weight 12st 13lbs.

Day 11 - Biggest Loser Diet
So it has been a few days since I last posted.
I have still been having my shakes and bars, but I have been a little naughty with my evening meals at the moment. The past 3 days, my dinners have consisted of:
Indian Takeaway
Pub Dinner (Nachos, Mozzarella and Basil Filo parcels and Goats Cheese and Pepper Bruschetta's all with lots of sour cream!) I also had a few biscuits (maybe about 8 in the evening) I did only have one meal replacement that day.
Home-made pizza
So I back to the proper diet today. I have realised that I have got a wedding at the end of the month, would be great if I could be a stone lighter!
I weighed myself this morning - 13st 1lb so a total loss so far of 6lbs, not too shabby at all!
Today I have had:
Chocolate Shake - this is my last Biggest Loser Shake (I start the Slim Fast Banana one tomorrow)
Berry Snack bar - this is my favourite as it is fruity and covered in a yoghurt flavouring.
Mint Choc Meal Replacement Bar - My least favourite but this is my last one luckily.
Snack - Fruit
Dinner - going to my mum's, she is going to actually cook this time, not my sister, I have been told I am having pasta.
Snack - Probably nothing as I have rehearsals.

Day 6 - Biggest Loser Challenge
So today is the first day of the Jubilee Weekend and I am wondering how I will be able to stick to my diet. It helps that I am working all 4 days.
Last night I jumped on my scales as customary, I weighed 13st 2lbs in some places, 13st 3lbs in others and also got to 13st 4lbs. So I gave that up and weighed myself this morning, I am now back to 13st 3lbs. A bit confusing as I am only at a 4lb loss again. I am thinking this may be a pattern! It is at least down and a bit worrying that I didn't lose any weight over night! I am going to blame the fat fairy.
Anyhoo todays menu:
Breakfast - Choc Crunch Meal Replacement Bar
Snack - Strawberry Crunch Snack Bar
Lunch - Meal Replacement Bar of some sort, I have Berry, Choc Crunch or Mint Choc to choose from.
Snack - Probably fruit or a Snack Bar
Dinner - I am going to a friends house so I am not sure, hopefully something relatively healthy.
To be honest I am feeling a little bored of the diet at the moment, I miss cheese on toast. I am usually a cheese fiend and I have not touched the stuff for a week! We usually spend about £30 a month on cheese alone, probably more than that for 2 of us.
I will try to perservere for the Jubilee weekend, but it will be tough tomorrow with the BBQ coming, will have to behave!

Day 5 - Biggest Loser Challenge
So yet again my morning consists of weighing myself. I feel I may be getting a little obsessed, I weigh myself at night and every morning. So the tale of the numerically challenged scales continues. I am now back to 12st 13, well 12st 13.5, so overall, supposedly, I have lost 7.5lbs overall. Which in 5 days is fantastic.
I don't think I mentioned, but my delivery of the Groupon deal from the biggest loser was delayed and as I usually do, I complained about the poor service. I never complain unnecessarily, but I am a firm believer of giving a company feedback, either positive or negative.
Here are my complaints just recently:
Tesco - I bought Tesco Everyday Value Strawberries, 95p which is a bargain as I looked at the label on the shelf, 95p for 400g, great! But I look at the punnet of strawberries and they are only 300g! I know it is only going to be a few pence difference, but with the cost of living increasing I felt robbed. So I took my photo's of the evidence and wrote my email.
The outcome - £5 voucher to spend in store and an apology.
Biggest Loser Groupon Deal - Poor delivery time and customer service.
Outcome - Approximately 6 Meal Replacement Bars and 4 Snack bars, that will keep me going for a further 3 days on this diet! I have also been given some Slim Fast Shake powder from my boss in Blissful Banana so I can keep this diet going on for even longer!
Echo Fall White Zinfandel Wine - I am not a huge drinker but I absolutely love my wine. I love all White Zinfandels because they are so fruity! So I bought a new bottle and proceeded to pour myself a glass after having a glass from another bottle. I went to take a sip and it was so bitter that I could not finish the glass let alone the bottle, which I would obviously have no issue in completing normally. So unfortunately I could not drive to get another bottle, I was over the limit and I could not finish the one I had, which lead me to writing a slightly tipsy email to the customer services department at Accolade Wines (not Sainsbury's as they wouldn't really do anything apart from refund). So the email went off and they sent me a box to send the wine to them for testing.
Outcome - A week and a half later, a letter to say the wine was oxidised, but they cannot confirm if it was before the bottle was opened or after. The wine would have been long gone if I was making this up, wine would not get the chance to get oxidised if I could have drunk it. Anyhoo, I received a £10 voucher to spend and considering the wine was on offer and cost me £5 I can hopefully now buy 2 bottles in replacement, overall not a bad little haul.
Anyway, back to the diet:
Breakfast - Double Choc Shake - not as bad as I thought it would be
Snack - Berry Crunch Bar
Lunch - Choc Fudge Meal Replacement Bar
Snack - Banana or Apple, have not made my mind up! (The life of a dieter ay?)
Dinner - Gammon with salad and home made chips/wedges.
Snack - Yogurt or fruit
I also worked out yesterday that my sister cannot cook. So me going over to my mum's for dinner (she worked late), proceeded a text from my sister saying I am going to cook. So I asked for something healthy, which she replied, are potato waffles healthy?
Needless to say, I took my own dinner (chicken with lots of veg in a tom sauce and rice), she did boil the water for me to cook the rice though.
