I've lost 12lb in two weeks my 2nd weigh in was 4lb felt it should have been more but bloody totm and I ain't due it lol that's another thing with this diet it messes with ur cycle.
Well my aim is the same as yours a size 12 but will see how I feel mayby go to a 10 so Ive possibly got another 6 and a half stone to go god it sounds so daunting my first goal is my 30th in February I'm hoping to get to a 14.
Yeah I tried mostly everything when I first done the diet and some of it was nice but after a while they became harder and harder to swallow so always stuck to choc mint and cranberry bars I tried the apple and cinnamon porridge for the 1st time last week and enjoyed the taste and diff texture but learnt it neede a little more water for my liking

Hi and Welcome,

Its a great diet - challenging yes, but the rewards are worth it. If you can stick to SS you will be so pleased with the results. I hate the shakes - can just about manage the choc and the choc mint, but thats it, and even then I try and drink them so fast i can't taste them!! Its tough to start when you have a cold, make sure you drink plenty of water and keep busy. Good luck!

I like all of the shakes but I've gone to having just the Chocolate ones now hot in the evenings. Chocolate, Chocolate Orange and Chocolate Mint.

I have a bar for breakfast a soup for dinner and then my shake for tea. If we're off to the cinema on a Wednesday I have Porridge for Breakfast and save my bar to eat at the cinema.

I've completed 9 weeks and lost over 30lbs. I've had some meals out in this time as well, and some slower loss weeks than others!

Hi, how are you getting on? I was hoping to start in January but now thinking I'll start as soon as I see a consultant

 

[tlp2210]

Hey well it's day 3 now and I'm getting there I have hot choc shakes every morning and then choc mint for lunch and I have hot choc again I. The evenings
It's extremely difficult but it's for a good cause and I'm very determined I'm still struggling on what I should do over Xmas!

What are u all doing ?

Hi guys
I am new today and on Sole source plus. I am needing to lose 4-6 stone. I can cope with the hunger but I will miss eating real food. It must be hard if you don't like a lot of the shakes. It is very daunting thinking about the amount of weight to lose. But I'm sick of all this fat so drastic action is needed.

 

[tlp2210]

Hey!!

I am the same as you anything between 4-6 stone I'll be happy I think !!

I am on sole source but thinking of doing Ss+ because I really miss dinner even just a bit of chicken at night would be lovely lol

Hiya how u doing?

Glad to hear ur sticking with it my consultant was wanting me to go up to ss+ but I didn't want the responsibility of eating I do have a ss+ meal on a Sunday after my weigh in as a treat but I'm 100% the rest

With regards to Xmas dinner it's just me and my partner so decided to have a mixed grill with salad so I won't be taking on too many carbs.

Can't believe I'm nearing the end of week 3 it's been quick x

 

[tlp2210]

I feel like Ss+ would give me something to look forward to rather then being tempted by my partner eating or sneaking something I would rather eat and feel satisfied if you no what I mean?

I'm still new though so I'm struggling and teaching myself x

Yeah it is a major learning curve I'm ok until about 5pm then I start getting the cravings it's not hunger tho so what I do is have my shake then go for a bath which takes about 1.5 hours lol when I'm done the craving has passed and I praise myself for not giving in it is a hard diet
From what I've heard ss+ has similar losses mayby a difference of a few pounds a month but stick with ss until ur first weigh in u might be really happy and want to stick with it and of u can hold out another week then have the bars xx

I sort of do ss+ some days, i'll have a sugar free syrup latte at work (we have a costa) or have the allowance of prawns to pick at in an evening and I've not noticed a change in my losses personally! Its good to know it's there if I'm desperate.
