Lite n Easy

Hi

I am starting this tomorrow and just wondering if anyone else out there is on Lite N Easy? :)

hi!
I just started last week! I got the brekky and lunch 1200 cals, but this week switched to dinners. well, DH and i cook dinner at home so wanted a meal together. but i didnt like their lunch menu, and their dinners look yummy so am substituting the dinner for lunch instead. same cals. I'm going to try this for another week. I think the 1200 cals is leaving me too hungry and tired, i have a 12 week old. i get my dinner order today, so will let you know how it goes!
oh havent lost weight yet!

Hi prama

I am doing the 1500cal 5 days all meals. Today is my first day and so far so good. I havne't minded the food at all and I'm not hungry yet. I think once I get used to it I will just switch to the dinners as the breakfast and lunch look easy enough to do on my own I think. I am looking forward to dinner! They look yum :)

I love how it is all packaged and labeled so there is nothing really you need to do besides eat it.

I hope you have a good week!

Hi!
I had the dinner for lunch and it wasnt bad! some of the lunch stuff isnt too bad, i had the laksa last week and it was surprisingly yummy. yeah, i think im going to switch to 1500cal, since im breastfeeding and was feeling tired and lethargic with the 1200.
good point abt making your own.. breakfasts are easy, the only thing at the moment for me is with the baby, the time just flies and it ends up being 10.30, 11 before i have breakfast.

I know what you mean about the time flying. My little one is 3 weeks today and I honestly haven't had a proper meal since he has been born - so this is really helping as it's so easy.

How are you going prama?

hello!
im doing well. still waiting to see results!!
how are you going?

Hey...I have only lost about 4kg but better than nothing! I have been doing my own breakfast and lunch though as it was working out a bit expensive. I think next week I will start ordering lunches again though as I think i need to. Breakast is easy to do on my own though.

How have you been going?

hey, 4kg is fantastic!!
ive only lost 1 kg, i guess cos we make our own dinner and some days i have lunch outside when im out and about.
congrats! i think you're doing really well. thanks for thinking of me..

Hi,

I have been on Liteneasy before and lost heaps of weight. Gained it all back though through no exercise. I've rejoined in April and have lost 5-6 kgs since. I have plateaued at the moment and have got a personal trainer to kick start my metabolism again. I started losing weight in Jan 08 with Tony Ferguson but only managed 4-5 weeks on that as drinking my calories didn't satisfy my hunger and needed something to eat! All in all, i've lost about 11-12kgs since then. i hit the gym too.
Liteneasy is great and convenient but gets a bit expensive.
Can i join your Liteneasy buddy group too?

sehra - that's amazing!!!! 11-12kgs. im still dreaming of losing 10kgs.
yeah, at the start it's ok but starts to get expensive, stuff like brekkie and lunch you can make it if you're at home...

I work (don't know if you guys do?) and having a pre-packed brekkie and lunch is fantastic and it's not the same old same old or leftovers from dinner the night before. I would love it if they had a lunch and dinner option but they don't.
Yeah, i used to be a size 14 borderlining at 16 and now i am a snug fit size 10! I am pretty amazed myself but i still look in the mirror and see a fat person and focus on my apron belly (a gift from my 2 c/s). I want to be a size 8 but the i have definitely plateaued and it is driving me crazy!
Good luck Prama, i know we can all DO it.

hi
i had a baby in feb, so still on mat leave and trying to get rid of my preggy weight. i was between 10-12, now am 14. im sure i will get there but it will take a while. im not lucky that my body can easily shed those pounds. hopefully a 12 by summer!

Just don't raid the pantry like i used too. You've just had a bub, so the weight will fall off don't you worry. the cold weather doesn't really get me motivated either to do some kind of exercise.
I can't lose weight easily either, i've got PCOS, so my fat cells are very stubborn and the insulin resistance which comes with PCOS doesn't help either as i always crave sugary foods. I find the sugar free lollies are good for that though.

Hi Loll
Just wondering how you are going with LnE. I have just started.

*Bump* Just wondering if LnE really does work. I've got the exercise routine going well but my food intake is letting me down:doh:

Yep it works!

I did it after I had DS - I had about 6kg of baby weight to shift and DS wasn't sleeping well so trying to calorie count and diet just wasn't going to happen.

I went on LnE (1500cal, full 7 day program) and I lost the weight in about 7 weeks. The first month I wasn't exercising, it was coming off anyway but I was breastfeeding so I didn't want to lose too much too quickly.

I've just started it again now because I've gained again over winter.

It really is great, so convenient and the food is really nice. As others have said though it can get a bit exxy, but if you're prepared and self disciplined enough to do some meals yourself you can bring the cost down.

Good luck, I say do it!!

Is anyone still doing the light and easy.. I have just started doing the lunches and dinners with my DF. Have lost 1.7kg since friday :o. Am on the 1200 cal and DF is on 1500 cal. Am a little hungry but think I am slowly adjusting to the portions.

I'm on it again. On the 1200 cal breakfast and lunch. I don't have the dinners, but i should really. When i go to the gym i don't eat dinner.
i sometimes binge on chocolate as there isn't enough sugary foods on it to satisfy my cravings.

I'm getting sick of eating the same food on this menu. I might stop soon and wait for the summer menu to come out.

That is great weightloss :clap:

I highly recommend it, I did it after DD3 years was born and lost nearly all of my weight loved the conviencence, wanted to do it again but apparently they no longer delivery to the country well not fresh stuff anyway, so could only do the frozen dinners!!! which you can buy at the supermarket, I needed the full plan:wall: The only thing I would say is I did get sick of the frozen dinners, breakies and lunch were great, now I have to rely on my willpower???:pray:and the weight loss challenge...:pray:

*does a little dance* 2kg goneski, am loving it.

Pam - what a bummer they don't deliver fresh stuff anymore out yr way. Everyone keeps saying it's too expensive but I dont think it is when add up how much money I spend on stuff I don't need when I go shopping, not to mention the waste. I am disgusted at how much stuff I throw out all the time.

TD - I am having just porrige for breakkie with a dash of honey and then onto the l&e lunch and dinner and so far so good. hasn't even been a full week yet :dance:

wow. That is great weightloss Nic. I love their yoghurts and the mediterranean omelette. mmmm. Keep up the good work.

TD - Oh yes, the greek yoghurt I had yesterday was sooo yummy. Bet the weight loss will slow down next week though cause this would all be just fluid. Might have to pull the finger out and actually do some exercise :rolleyes:

A loss is a loss though Nic. Yes, exercise will most definitely help.

i have to agree with you that it is not expensive because you don't have to do any other additional shopping. i do the plan and DH and the kids aren't fussy eaters so i just cook something for them.

The hamburgers are yummy too.

Hi

Ive just started on L 'n E, Im on day 3 and so far the food has been great. Its been a big wake up call for me wrt to portion sizes!!!

I was wondering how everyone is going and how much you typically lose in a week?

MiMo, how's it all going with the weight loss. I lost 2.6kg in the first week. I have just weighed in today for my second week ending and have lost a further .5kg's. I am really happy with 3.1 kg's in two weeks and can't wait for the rest of my weight to come off.

I had lasagne for dinner tonight, am now contemplating a rice pudding for dessert :dance:

I've thought about it but I don't like how everything is done for you. Sure, it would be very convienient, but how are you meant to learn how to make healthy food and maintain healthy eating habits?

i am thinking of going on LnE if they will del to gladstone i hope they do just have to wait and see i guess

sarahxxxx

:dance: I've hit the 5kg loss mark today.. Things slowed a little for me, but as soon as I started to go walking each day it's coming off quicker..:dance:

Problem is, I am going away for 3 days and am on my own foodwise, so will need to behave so it doesnt pile back on and undo all my hard work.

I've been on this for just over 2 weeks now and have lost nearly 2 kgs. I'm on the 1200 breaky lunch and dinner. I find i get terribly hungry after dinner....always have so its hard not to sneak into the pantry for something else to nibble on after but i try hard not to and if i drink a glass of water after dinner instead of munching it can help with the cravings. i have found the food to be very tasty and there is plenty during the day so you don't get hungry. its just after dinner for me thats the prob :redface:

Hello. I am about to start LnE and I was looking for a support group to join to help me along.

I have two kids, one is 5 and the other is 2. I had hyperemesis with both my pregnancies so I lost about 10 kg with both, but then after I gave birth, the weight packed on. I'm aiming to lose about 15 kgs. My husband has eaten their food before - when I was pg with our first and had great success.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

I received my order today! Is it lunch time yet? LOL

its so exciting when your first orders arrive!! the berry yogurt is the absolute best!:D

our first order will arrive on thursday, i'm excited! dp and i are both doing it, all meals and snacks at this point, hopefully for 2 months or so... i'm doing 1200 calories, he's doing 1800. i'll change it next week if i'm top hungry..

Good luck to both of you!

I'm on day 5 and I'm really enjoying the food. I haven't noticed any weightloss yet but I certainly feel different on the inside - lighter or something. I guess my body isn't working so hard to digest the crap food I was eating :rolleyes: .

ETA Boobaloo, I'm on the 1500 cal meals and I'm definitely satisfied with that. I have to fight my urge to snack - which is the reason I have found myself having to try something like LnE in the first place LOL. I know I don't need to snack out of hunger though.

I weighed myself today and I have lost 1 kilo :). I started last Friday so I'm happy with that.

yay, are you excercising too?

I was leading up to it and then my gym membership ran out. I decided to wait until I knew what a hit our budget would take doing LnE before renewing it but I think it will work out ok doing both.

oh my god, it's so frikkin hard not to snack - damn me for giving my kids yummy foods that i want to pick at...
lol, actually i'm pretty happy with the food so far, except the bircher muslie :( yuck. but i'm realising how much i usually snack.. and i'm quitting smoking at the same time. not a happy camper...

I can't do the chick peas. Gross!! Most other stuff I'm eating even if I don't like them - like the weeds people call "lettuce" these days lol.
