Thanks so much for responding! It could be that. I'm back to normal life now so am back to drinking the recommended amount of liquid. Only other thing I can think of, it that I didnt do the add a meal week on week 5. I came here trying to find information on how to do that week but was told...

:confused::cry: I've gained 4.4lbs this week (week 6). Last week I ate 2 shakes & a meal bar per day & I lost 1.8lbs My target is a minimum of 2lbs per week, so this week I stopped the bar & went back to 3 shakes a day. I have been 10000000000% perfect!!! How can I gain 4.4lbs? How can...

Hi again everyone! I have managed to find some information & it does provide a calorie amount but it's still a wee bit vague. I'm trying to figure out how much does 415 calories of chicken weigh & how many calories in brocoli? "Continue to have three Cambridge Diet meals a day and add a...

Hi! On Monday I began my 5th week of SS. It's now Saturday and I've just realised that I was supposed to be doing the Add-A-Meal week. Does anyone have any advice on this week? I am in New Zealand so don't have a counsellor. How important is it to do this week? Does anyone know where I...

:copon: ......Hey dont make us do this to you! But seriously, how did you go?

holy moly thats fantastic!

Hi Suki! How did it go? Good on you for trying it out. I felt weird too but it worked for me so I'm not knocking it! I needed 2 sessions but since then Ive not craved a thing. I had tried CDs and self-hypnosis but the results were nothing like this. Given the outcome of my 2 sessions, my...

Hi - it is freaking great. I even sat and enjoyed my shake whilst my family ate fish and chips followed by fresh strawberries last night! It's so easy and so good that I feel like I'm cheating or something! Im in New Zealand so I dont think my prices will be much use but I paid NZ$60 per...

The past is just a memory & the future doesnt even exist. All there ever is, is the NOW, I just focus on doing great right now! I dont know if that helps but its something my hypnotherapist told me and its really stuck with me for getting back into my SS & going running!

Just wanted to add that making them with ice really does make a tonne of difference! I use a magic bullet. Takes mere seconds and is perfect!

I havent had much luck with the soups. Spicy tomato & oriental chilli are drinkable. I dont exactly think theyre nice but they make a nice change. The Cheese & Broccoli was so bad it got passed around my entire family. Nobody could believe that anything so awful was classed as food! I wont...

This might be something everyone else already knows about but this is working brilliantly for me...... Hypnosis & NLP (neuro linguistic programming) I was doing great on SS until I stopped for an unexpected vacation. After that I could not get back onto SS! I did about a dozen restarts in...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Im already planning to take some shakes with me but I'm escorting a small group on a trip hosted by my company - so I have to be present at meals. It's a good opportunity to practice healthy food choices, so Im not too worried. I just dont want to be...

I like the strawberry, banana, fruits of the forest & the butterscotch best. At the moment Im into combining them - chocolate with fruits of forest is pretty damn good! For the bars I also like the malt toffee best. It tastes just like a real candy bar to me and it melts in your mouth...

Also, has anyone else found that whilst for example my thighs were fat they were quite solid, now...they are so wobbly and my tum is the same! Whats that about? Yes! When I was heavier I was solid. Now Im at that horrible squidgy stage. My weight comes off my waist first. I just get...

Years ago when I went to Weightwatchers they used the generalisation that every 5kgs (approx 11bs) equals a womans clothes size.

I would love to say health but vanity gets me every time....how I fit into my clothes is really important for my mental health.....which is probably why as a teenager I did some really stupid diets - such as the chewing gum & diet coke one!

msblonde, youve already done well - congrats on your future losses too!

Yay good for you Yasmine! We're all proud of you!

Hi Poppypoo! Thanks for your advice, the idea of going up a few calories does appeal....so maybe I should do 4 shakes every day.... Surprisingly I havent experienced any problems. I havent felt dizzy or weak at all. The only thing I find is it's really hard to get up in the morning - but...

Woohoo I think the smile on your face says it all!

If you're concerned about doing it all over again - maybe you might do better with something new & different? There are tonnes of alternative programs (such as Weightwatchers or Jenny Craigs) & as youve only got a couple of stone to lose this time, speed might not matter so much to you...

I've just found out that on 28 October, Im going on a 2 week cruise! Naturally I'm not complaining but the timing is terrible! It's only 3 weeks away & the last thing I planned is to come off my CD early - especially as I hoped to only have another 3-4 weeks to go (plus the 6-8 weeks of...

Hi everyone, I hope I'm not too late in joining in with this thread! I'm doing 100% SS. I'm currently 9.3 stone (started at 10.5) & my target is anywhere between 8.9 & 7.12 stone. I've struggled A LOT with SS but from reading this forum, I think it might be because of my exercise levels...

Hi! I wish I had a miracle cure for you but I don't. I can tell you though that I was in a similar situation to you. I wouldnt even let my husband see me naked. I would get undressed in the bathroom and when he turned out the bedroom light, I would dash into bed! My suggestion is to find a...

Hi Sun! You can do it. All you need is a plan. Identify when you are most at risk & come up with ways to deal with it..... I fell off the SS today so this is my plan to make sure I'm all go again tomorrow: Breakfast is a risky time for me. So I will have EVERYTHING ready tonight. I...

Hi Jules & Ellen, I hope its ok if I respond to your posts! Im not quite another twin (ie Im 5ft tall) but Im on my 3rd week of the Soul Source.....so I can let you know that it does get easier! I like the Vanilla & Strawberry shakes & I save those for breakfast (which is when my stomach is...
