LOL That's hilarious! (I'm in the same boat; sure that a few local eateries are missing me terribly. S'okay. I'll visit them again someday... just not in the same way.)Originally Posted by klc
Hey folks. I'm starting BistroMD tonite...my food is on the delivery truck even as we speak...I'm SO excited!!!! I've lost 33lbs since starting on food delivery (ediets then PFFS) in March, but still have 72 to go, so I'm on this for the long haul. I want to get to 165, and then I'll assess where I want to go from there. I love this whole meal delivery thing. I'm single and don't cook, so it is perfect for me. I'm staying on the 7 day plan til I hit my goal, but even then, I'm sure I'll hang onto a 5 day plan to maintain. I'm just so spoiled now by the convenience that I can't imagine going back to fending for myself (although I'm sure that Domino and Steak-out's stock has dropped drastically over the last 5 months )

Isn't that exciting? I remember feeling like a kid on Christmas morning, being so filled with anticipation for that first delivery.Originally Posted by klc
My food is here!

Right on! I was so very pleased to get to eat so many yummy foods! And definitely too much, each meal. That's a good thing!!Originally Posted by klc
Everything looks great, but the veggies are absolutely gorgeous. Also, really nice 'big' full meals. I had to look at the menu to figure out what was lunch vs. dinner. I love that the lunches are full meals with veggies. The variety of snacks was also impressive.

Ooh, you'll have to share your thoughts! Since there's so little I can have (being gluten-free and all that), I'd love to know how great the other items are. Just for... uh... research. Originally Posted by klc
I was initially a little concerned that there were set menus, instead of being able to select your food, but I'm now I'm glad that's the case, cause I don't have to worry about needing to try stuff, to figure out what to order next week. It's also going to be good to have the variety over the next 6 weeks. And everything on the menus sounds good.

So awesome! I hope you reach your goal really soon. Heck, I hope all of us do. But I'm sure glad we happened to be on this journey at the same time, so we could intersect and have fun while we're at it. Originally Posted by klc

I'm hoping to start next week! I've enjoyed reading this thread and I'm thrilled there is an option for me like food delivery. With my husband being able to eat anything (and being a picky eater) and my toddler daughter, I need something exactly like this to keep me in line. What to eat and how much to eat is perfect for me!
Awesome! I love the "not having to think about it" thing. I talked with my husband this week about possibly coming off BistroMD and just counting calories and doing Lean Cuisines and he said, "Do you really think you'll be happy having to make a shopping list and keeping up with what you have and when?"Originally Posted by Chicky Monkey
Hi girls,I'm hoping to start next week! I've enjoyed reading this thread and I'm thrilled there is an option for me like food delivery. With my husband being able to eat anything (and being a picky eater) and my toddler daughter, I need something exactly like this to keep me in line. What to eat and how much to eat is perfect for me!
And I realized he was totally right. Just reaching in and grabbing my meal and heating it up, grabbing my snack when it's time for that, etc., it's all been a huge part of my success. I know that's true.
So I continue.

As I mentioned either on this thread or another BistroMD thread, I'm remembering back to February here, but definitely I received an INSTANT email thanking me for my order and letting me know that another two would follow (a receipt and a delivery confirmation/tracking number from FedEx).Originally Posted by Chicky Monkey
I have a question though...I ordered my food Sunday night, and I haven't received even 1 email from BistroMD. No confirmation email, no welcome email, nothing. Is this normal? What's up with that? I have no idea if they received my order or when they plan on shipping it....
So, I guess it depends on your timing. You ordered on a Sunday night, which means your order probably won't be processed 'til Wednesday or Thursday for the following week's shipment. So, maybe you won't get an email until... well... today or yesterday. I don't know. Sorry. I can just report that I did get emails.

Hi Lisa, I would call! I did receive a confirmation email from them...and then I followed up. My food JUST came today.

LOL Same here. It's like that commercial with the husband who cuts out soda and loses 10 pounds and the wife cuts out EVERYTHING and loses her boobs. *raises hand* Right here!!!Originally Posted by MelissaV
I am very excited to have my "Bistro MD" dinner. I'm like you as well, my husband lost 15 pounds by eating only one chocolate chip cookie at night. I cannot even think of a chocolate chip cookie!

Don't know that we have enough active REGULAR posters to make that necessary yet. I mean, look how long it's taken to reach this many pages on THIS thread! It's just not a very busy/active plan, on 3FC, apparently. YET. Originally Posted by MelissaV
