Hi there,I'm 39 weight is 125kg and can't loose it, tried just about all the diets, but works for the first week. watched your program and I'll like to try this. Please help
I always weighed 48kg while living in Australia. I wasn't skinny at this weight as I have a small frame and I am rather short (5'4) this weight was healthy for me as I ate well. Upon moving to the UK I gained 8.5 kg bringing me to a weight of 56.5 kg, at this weight I looked bloated and chubby. I ate as I always had which is pretty much whatever I felt like, and not really a balanced diet. 7 weeks ago I began to eat only fish, meat and vegetables, plus whole wheat breads and on weekends I allowed myself to eat take away and out with friends. I am now 51 kg so nearly back to my old weight in 7 weeks. Is this too fast? Have I lost too quickly or is this healthy?
i am trying to lose weight i have tryed other but have been right back were i started fromi i need to lose weight. i am 54 and i am 86kgs for my hight of 1.6 meter i am too short for the weight and need help i live in zimbabwe. plese help. how do we get to pay do you have a program? have some of my work mates that are also trying to lose wieght.

My problem at the moment is that I am very skint, and work long hours in a callcentre. I sit at a desk all day, and crave sugar to keep me going. I want to eat well, but one, there is only one microwave at work, 170 of us, two a cheap vending machine of sugary heaven, and three I find it very hard to eat healthily on a low, and I mean LOW budget. I mean, seriuosly, I need to feed 2 of us on MAX ?40 a week more often abotu ?30 and my fiance works 12 hour shifts in a factory so he needs very filling food. I need very cheap, healthy and quick recipies that can be put into microwave tubs, and also cheap and very filling snacks. So before I think of joining anyhting, I need to know- can my budget afford it, I mean the extra ?10 a week is going to be a major dent in funds at the moment. Is it worthwhile, are the recipies given expensive or not? Can anyone answer me?
I Girls I've just bought the cook book and I want to cook myself thin. I just started an exercise program to swim laps for 1 hour and walk for 45 min daily. Then I've created a daily menu for 32 days using your recipes and staying under 1500 calories per day. I want to reach my goal by May 14 2010. wish me success. Crystal
Mztete, if you are having a hard time giving up fried foods and want to lose weight, you should seriously research hydrogenation. Once you read what hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated foods are - and what exactly they do to your body, you may not have such a hard time giving them up. Essentially every forkful of chicken and fish that you swallow - if it is fried in hydrogenated oil - is depositing fats into your heart. Basically, would you rather live? or die young?
I have my son comming in nov and im going my daughter end of dec would love to get your book or have you help me get my portion sizes sorted. I live in cape town south africa. orignally from scotland
I have lost a lot of weight I was 265 and now I weigh 187. I need to change since i seem to be staying the same weight. My goal is to fit into a size 10 and be healthy. I need ideas on how eat healthy, have variety, and lose the weight.
My neighbor and I decided to start a neighborhood Weight Loss/Get Fit Club amongst ourselves and our spouses...well it ends up he and I are the only ones willing to be dedicated to the idea. What can you offer us in advice to start off on the right foot and not get too discouraged and end up quitting?
I am very interested in your program and just bought the book. Going on a cruise in early July and would like to drop at least 10 pounds before then if possible.
I am also trying to become a member and it will not let me since the dropdown for country does not give you an option for the US. Can someone please help???
I am mid-forties and two years ago, I weighed 150lbs, now I am between 165 - 170lbs. Not only do I feel good about myself when I am 150lbs but clothes fit much better when I am a size 10. Please let me know what I can do to reach that weight and size again.
I have just started watching your show, and I have to say I'm hooked!!! I'm 21 years old, 5"10 180 lbs. and I have been trying for so long to get back to my old size (147 pounds) before the dreaded freshmen 15 crept up :( I've always been very health conscious, and the extra baggage I've been carrying around for the past few years is always lowering my self-image. My goal is to get back to 160 by the end of summer. I'll keep watching you girls for all your marvelous cooking tips and thanks so much for all your help :D
I just found your TV show and am very enthused about it. As you can see I have a lot to lose. I live alone and don't always cook formyself because I miss cooking for others. I have always loved to cook but it is difficult to do for just myself. I want to know how to get a copy of your cookbook. Gran Jan

I am in the exact same situation as irishwen. I have a tiny, tiny frame and people think I look "great" but that's only because everyone I know is tall and larger boned.
Graciela, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP!!!! You have taken the first step in changing the way you cook and eat! This is a lifestlye change regarding the way you cook and eat. You can do this. Take is one day at a time.
I've lost 27lbs and it seems I've reached a plateau and I can't find a way to move, short of fasting but then it all comes back! (just back to the plateau weight)
I NEED TO LOOSE 70 POUNDS, I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH MYSELF. WILL THIS RECIPES REALLY WORK. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. I'M OK AT FIRST, THEN WHAM I GAIN IT ALL BACK.

Hi everyone, Just wanted you to know how much i really like your show. The results are amazing .7 the food looks so good.I've been trying to find one recipe that was used in the 3rd or 4th episode. Sweet & sour pork. whether or not I get it you have a viewer for life. nettie
I am so ecited to get started. I am going to purcahse the cookbook today and along with the excercising I started a few weeks back the pounds and inches should start melting off. I enjoy cooking as much as eating so I cant wait to try my fist dish.
I hate that when you explain you want to lose a dress size the smallest even offered is a 6. I am very small boned. I mostly wear a 6, sometimes a 4...but I still have body fat that needs to go. No, I am not anorexic...as I said...I have very small bones. I wish it was just ok to say you are over weight to people and lose and tone without being looked down at simply because you 'look' small in your clothes. I am trying your food anyhow. I figure it's a good habit/lifestyle no matter who you are. So far we've had 3 meals and the entire family has loved them. Thanks for getting it on the air.
I am 5 ft tall. I weigh 126. My goal is 122 lbs. It's very hard to keep it. I like vegetables and fruit. I have a medical problem and can't exercise very much.
I have to say, I have tried almost every diet and watch every diet show. I have watched your show and I am just blown away at the wonderful Quick and Easy recipes you are doing. I am very busy and really try to cook healthy, but it seems like all the weight loss cookbooks I have bought have so many ingredients I hate cooking them because of the time and expense it all takes. I am very excited about starting you program with the healthy eating. I just LOVE you show and and think that this is what so many mons and wives need, a way to cook healthy that is easy and tasty. Thanks so much!!
Manda, That's my daughter's name. You can purchase the recipe book at Amazon.com or your local bookstore. It sells for anywhere between 10.99 and 16.99 depending which book you buy. Good luck. Sheri
I've been searching the "Cook Yourself Thin" website for a cookbook for various recipes, but have been unable to find one. Is there one I can purchase? Thanks. A
Ok so Im a big fan...I DVRed the show and just watched the first 2 episodes and let me tell you I thik this is something that might actually be the thing that turns my life around! I love to cook and lot to substitute new ingrdiants I just have for years done the wrong ones! Im purchasing the cook book for more helpful ideas and I can't wait to see the results! Thanks so much! Ill keep you updated! SO EXCITED!!!
My question is not for me, but for my spouse. Your show is abut dropping a dress size...how about a pant size? He has developed diabeies and needs to loose about twenty pounds. How will your program work for men? Does the same "your ideal weight x's 10 still work? He weighs 240 lbs. and needs to get to at least 200 lbs. Does that mean he should eat 2000 cals. a day? Thanks. Kathryn
Can you PLEASE help me? How can I be on Cook yourself Thin show? I have been trying yo-yo diets for years. I am 20 lbs. overweight and feeling very down about myself. It's so hard to get myself on a daily routine. Going to the grocery store is so confusing; and I find myself putting the wrong items in the basket. I NEED to put the right foods on my list and stick to it! I would love for you to do an episode where you take me shopping with a list of the right foods to eat, and then teach me how to prepare them. Having a list of foods is so important. I am one of those people that need to follow a weekly regiment until it’s completely stuck in my head! I cook for my three sons and husband, so going off the band wagon is so easy......Help me get the program started. I would love to be a part of your show. I want to feel healthily again, looking forward to hearing from you! Terri Allendorf
As a police dispatcher I sit in front of 2-3 computer screens talking to citizens or telling officers where to go for 10-15 a day, 4-6 days a week. Typical with most dispatchers is the seditary job and the habit of snacking and not able to eat well prepared meals regularly. Lunchs are half hour but not all leftovers are worth eating so fast food becomes a bad habit. Try walking during lunch which means eating quickly during 15 minute breaks. Have started watching your show on BBCA and look forward to trying some of your recipes for potential warm up the next day. My goal is to lose 20-25 pounds. But I do give myself more than your six week challenge. Have put myself on a waiting list for your book through my local library. Very rarely purchase cookbooks but may just get yours for writing notes. Thank you for the unique ideas I have already seen through your show.
I think this show is good for all, however I would suggest that you have different women from different cultures (races)be host and give advice. Some people can eat 1000 calories a day and not loose much weight and that has something to do with there genes.
Hi, everyone,I can't express the horrible feeling I have about myself. I wish I had someone who could be a weight loss partner with me. I literally hate my body!! Before my kids two years ago I was a size 12, and now, I am a 18.This is the heaviest I have ever been. I want to try this really bad, but we are limited on money, and we all know healthy is more money.
I would like to get down to a size 10, I liked your show on lifetime cook yourself thin, and I fell that I can follow this program. I have tried all kind of weight loss programs, but none of them have worked. so please help!!!!!! thanks, Lila
I was just flipping through channels today before work and I found your show. I couldn't believe how many calories you guys cut from my favorite foods! I pretty much felt like there was no way to indulge in my fav. foods and still lose weight - Man was I wrong! I am buying your cook book this week and starting over. NEVER AGAIN WILL I STARVE! :]
A great way to lose weight is to start dancing and of course, watch your calories. I strted taking Swing Dance lessons about 6 months ago and lost 40 pounds and went from a size 26 to a 22. And about 6 weeks ago, I have cut my calorie intake to 1500 a day. by doing that, I went from a 22 to an 18. And I am still losing. It's hard but it can be done. Keep the faith. Prayer helps a lot too. :)
I LIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA AND WATCHED YOUR PROMGRAM AND WOULD LIKE TO COOK MYSELF THIN I CANNOT JOIN YOUR CYT WEIGHLOSS CLUB ACESS DENIED I AM STAYING TO FAR THE RECEIPES ARE GREAT BUT WHAT DO I EAT FOR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH CAN ANY BODY GIVE ME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM THANKS ALOT LOVE BERTHA
If they think i can drop from a size 20 to a size 12 by october then maybe they should come and give me a crash course because i cant see that happening some how!
Hi i loved this show and think it could promote healthy eatting but why have people got to pay to get advice to lose weight and become healthy.also the calculator is just a blag has there is no way i could drop 2 dress sizes in under 2 months.
There is no way that I could go from a size 8 to a size 6 by April 2nd. I think that it is unfair to allow people to think that by spending money on you they could achieve unrealistic goals. It's not fair on them.
Im a size 12, or 14 on a bad day, and thhough i think the recipes are an excellent way to encourage healthy eating. However i think this diet calculator promotes unhealthy and unrealistic goals, i could never reach a size 6 no matter how healthily i ate and how much i exercised so it seems absurd that it's promising i can be that size in 3 months.
In Mid November I was a size 22...Overweight to say the least. It was a decision on my part to consult my doctor and join a special weight clinic she has developed at her office. It is Feb. 15, 2009 and I am now a size 12! My stomach has shrank considerably and I have developed healthy habits I hope to keep for the rest of my life. I am nearing 40...I would like to make it to 80 if I can. Consult your doctor...Get support from your friends, and if you cant find anyone around to support you and love you through this battle. Love yourself enough to get moving! Walking for me is the perfect exercise. From time to time I do sit ups, but I have found since walking, my stomach is about gone. See your doctor! Ask questions, get moving, and love yourself enough to...
4 months to go from 14 to an 8...i wish (alot) but im working my bum off and eating healthy so hopefully shrinking will occur soon! loved the show so much, great recipie ideas! xxx
my friends think im fat. quote from friend: 'unfortunately hayleyfinds herself unable to stop eating and now is the size of 10 elphantsm she needs serious help to sort out her obesity.' seeeee ^
Hi Ladies i love you show and have set up my PR decoder to tape all your programs and i watch it over and over and have tried some of your recipes i need your help to drop 2 dress sizes. i try to have a healthy diet. Weetbix or 2 boiled eggs for bfast, lunch is a grilled chicken breast and dinner is chicken and salad, i've lost 9 kilograms by following this diet over 9 months, with loads of cheating inbetwen. i had mhy wedding as an incentive now that that's over i've strayed, esp since coming back from our honeymoon where we cruised the far east. Plse help me i love eastern foods, and loads of spice i also love pizza and chips not hot chips but crisps and dips when entertaining. Also love sweet puddings and chocolate Rene
I think the programme is fantastic and after over 30 years of dieting, finally makes sense. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have had my metabolism (and probably thyroid) messed up by dieting and diet aids over the years and am so happy to find a way to start being 'normal'. I am going to start today with the Egg Fried Rice and Prawn meal. Thanks Gals! You are amazing!
