Thanks! I have been taking hair supplements and the doctor has given me some ointment to encourage hair growth that they give to patients with alopecia. I'm having a break this weekend, mainly just to get myself feeling better. Still carb and calorie watching though. Just enjoyed a small tin...

I often get a bath for about an hour and use some lovely smelling products. My skin has improved! ha ha Brushing teeth is a good one. Especially if you run up the stairs to do it every time you feel like something sweet! Keep Going! Think of the slinky black sexy dress you could get into at...

Remember, if you eat carbs e.g. Pizza then you'll go out of Ketosis and it'll take 3 days to get back. In the mean time your body will be saying 'I need more carbs' and so you'll be hungry! Protein is your friend xx

Don't worry! It's normal. I'm currently the same! (see my other posts!) Because you're finding it hard you'll feel like eating more. So if you can't manage SS, do SS+ I regularly have a turkey breast subway salad (with all the green things only - inc gherkins and jalepenos) I can stay in ketosis...

How much water are you drinking? In the early stages that's the key- it keeps you full and the more you drink the more you lose x

Hi. I've been on this diet since 26th May 2013 - weighed in at 18.6.5lbs (size 20/22) and currently 14st (size 14/16) Currently I'm having a bad time Hair Loss, Low blood Pressure and Chronic Constipation. Feel so upset. Weight loss has slowed. Lots of people, with well meaning wishes keep...

It's been ages since I logged in here! Update: In total I've lost 5stones since the start of Cambridge. However, I'm really struggling atm! So bored! Stepped up to SS+ but I feel guilty if I eat anything at all and also suffer horrendously with constipation. Currently being treated for an...

You're deffo an inspiration! I've been doing this for almost 4 weeks now and have lost 17lb to date. Want to lose another 70lbs before November!

Quick update, after weigh in on Friday (the dreadful +1lb end of the world gain) My consultant invited me back today (mon). Scales said I was 1.5lbs lighter than Friday- so its all balanced again. Feeling relieved!

WOW! What a transformation!! Your photographs are such a clear picture of your achievements! It actually looks 2 different people when you compare start to finish! Congratulations! Hope I do as well as you! x Thanks for sharing! :happy096:

Yes I do! Coldness is a sign of Ketosis so work not! Socks seem to be the most useful thing and nice warm baths. When did u start your diet? what are you hoping to lose?

My lovely consultant asked me to go back today for another weigh in. I am glad to say I was 1.5lbs lighter than Friday. Feeling a bit more positive after that news!

Thank you! I'm having some really bad stomach pains today. Its worth it in the long run though. Averaging a stone in 3 weeks. My consultant asked me to pop back and get weighed again tomorrow. I'm going to do that too. Hope I haven't gained any more! :confused:

Thank you! I am determined to stick with it. The results have been amazing so far. The strange thing was people have been commenting on my weight loss and last week they were all saying that I'd lost weight from my legs (which is definitely a good thing!) Thanks for sharing that it happened to...

Thanks for your support! I don't think scales were out- they belong to my consultant and surely other people would have seen similar if there was something up with them. I'm praying its constipation and water retention. I used ketostix and I'm definitely in ketosis. Plus I'm constantly freexing...

Hello I'm on week 3 (going into week 4) on Sole Source. I have been 100% sticking to the plan (except I had 2 cans of coke zero (330ml) over the course of the week) Week 1 I lost 11 and a quarter punds, Week 2 5 and a quarter, Week 3 +1lb DEVASTATED! I have been so good. Has anyone else...

Ps. In reply to questions... I'm 5'6'' and despite weighing 17st 5lbs I now fit in a size 18. (top and bottom) I carry my weight pretty evenly (everywhere) but have a big bust (38g) and I'm most conscious about my belly! (gok wan's pants help me feel better!) I haven't gone for water...

Back again! I'm a bit useless at this forum thing as I've been mega busy. Landscaped my back garden again and then back to work after half term. Report writing time is upon me so paperwork is heavy. My story so far... week 1- 11 and a quarter pounds loss! Whoo! amazing :) week 2- so in the...

Hi again! Only just logged on! It's been a very busy week! So glad you have replied! Also glad that we are a similar weight. Update so far: Stopped crying at washing! Headaches gone! Now I'm having problems drinking plain water- sneaked about 3 glasses of coke zero this week. Naughty! Due a...

Hi! I'm on day 2 and aching from head to toe! Feeling very drained and over emotional. (getting my period on day 1 probably didn't help!) I hope that this struggle is rewarding come Friday's weigh in!

Hello! Thought I'd keep an online diary in the hope for some encouragement and also for providing some entertainment for the readers. Ok. I'm 34 and I'm fat. No other word for it. Fat and Fed up. I can't bear photographs or mirrors or any type of reflection! Luckily though, I have a fiancé...

Hi! I'm new to this forum! Started Cambridge on Saturday so today is just day 2. I'm feeling very tired and quite sad (crying before looking at the washing!) How long did it take for the rest of you to get used to the lack of calories?? Shakes are nice. Porridge ok. Soups I don't like!
