What a brilliant first week - wow that should inspire me to get back onto SS totally and stop messing about. Well done you!!!!

Hi gang! Welcome to the new members, glad we are up to full strength now! Sorry not to have been on for a week! Can't believe it is that long and don't know what I have been doing - other than trying to resist eating and not doing too well. I did brilliantly tues to sat evening, then went...

Hi all Not a good week last week - managed to put on 1.5lbs! Having said that I did have my jeans on for weighing which I don't normally do. Oh well have now managed two whole days on ss alone! Just taking it literally one day at a time now, not thinking of the long haul. I really just...

Hi Jules I'm here! Unfortunately been out for dinner tonight - 29th wedding anniversary - oh god where have all those years gone?? It is scary how quick they pass and been overweight for most of them, constantly on a diet and always blaming something or someone else for it! I seem to be...

Hi to the two new team members! Wow it has been quiet, so sorry for my absence but have had a family member in hospital for quiet a big op and have spent most of my time at the hosptial. Didn't get chance to post my WI loss - only 2lb this week, but as someone once said even just a pound a...

Hi everyone Sorry about your hand Nessa - it doesn't seem to be improving does it? Sorry I didn't lose anything this week - stayed the same, but better than putting any on. I am going to go for it this week and really get stuck back into it. Re team leader - I second Buffydog - I dont...

Hi everyoe Sorry to let you all down but not doing so well this week - have just sat an ate a whole bar of choccy - lovely but not good for the diet! Still my birthday tomorrow - 39 again! Out for a meal tomorrow and Wednesday - then straight back on the wagon. I am never going to achieve...

Good luck!

I'm with Hedgemag and Bunny - definately chocoalate it's my biggest downfall - couldn't get enough pre CD! Only caved in twice and bought some twice in the last three months - before that I would have a big bar (and I mean big) of Cadbury fruit & nut or wholenut every Sunday evening - comfort...

The first few days were the hardest but then you just get used to it, ketosis kicks in and you are no longer hungry. Having said that I have struggled to stick to ss totally since our holiday in Aug, but am still losing weight slowly but surely! I have found it easy to do as you don't have to...

Rochester in Kent, but have lived in Perth for a short while as well - got too homesick and came back to the UK!

Amazing 328 for me!

Hi How do you make up the shakes with ice - do you make them as per normal with the normal amount of water and then add to a blender with ice? Thanks - could do with a nice McD ice shake!

Hi ladies! Wow buffydog size 12 jeans - I can only dream! I was that pleased when I bought my size 18's a couple of weeks ago, I haven't been that size for about 20 years and spent most of those trying to diet - or at least thinking about the need to! CD is the easiest diet I have done...

Hi Jules Glad someone else is out there - thought I had been deserted, was starting to feel silly as the last three posts were all mine ;-) Chat tomorrow - have a good day!

Good question!!! I can do up the buckles on my shoes without my stomach getting in the way (or having to ask my husband to do them up!), a towel wraps round and overlaps, I can wear skinny jeans without my stomach bulging out, my knees don't hurt going up stairs and I feel more confident and...

Hi Reading some of the other threads, thought maybe you needed more info for this weeks weight loss? So: Weight last WI =14st 13.5lb Weight this WI = 14st 10lb This weeks loss = 3.5lb My target weight is 11st , 10st 7lb would be perfect, but don't want to stress myself with what seems to...

Hi Angie Best advice I could pass on before actually starting is to cut down on carbs for the next few days - this helps you to feel less hungry when you actually start on sole source. It is tough, but worth it. I do still struggle to stay on sole source but am giving it my best and am...

Hi everyone me again! Where has everyone got to? I went for my WI tonight and have lost 3.5lb, not spectacular but I have not totally ss'd this week so am quite pleased with that loss. My colleague lost 10lb on her first week, she is so pleased and it has spurred her (and me!) on for the...

Don't give up Cass - I agree with Claire, are you drinking enough water? I also find I lose less when I don't drink enough. It is the thing I find hardest to do,especially at the weekends.

Hi everyone Nessa - sorry to hear that your hand has been bothering you again - must have been a really nasty cut! Is it improving now??? I go for my WI tomorrow night (Tues) and will post my loss (positive thinking!) when I get back. I had a lovely experience last week when a colleague...

Come on you can do this - you have great support if your husband is a CDC! I am loving this site, logging on and reading and supporting everyone else. We are all in the same boat, needing or wanting to lose weight and needing to chat with people who understand our problems. I love the...

Hi Pretika Keep going, it is hard, but once you have cracked it the weight loss is great. First week I lost around 5.5lbs then 'only' 4 the next week, however as my CDC pointed out that is still over a stone a month and that changed the way I felt about it. Good luck for the weekend. Kazzie

Hi everyone Sorry laptop disconnected from the internet but couldn't figure out why and had to call my son. Turned out I had accidentally pushed a button and turned it off!! Well done Jules and Buffydog on your weight losses - my next WI is Tuesday, will keep you informed.... At last the...

Hi Nessa Sorry to hear about your hand - hope you make a speedy recovery.

Hi Fallen Hmm... I have a way to go then before I can upload photo's - thanks for the info, I would have got really frustrated trying to work that one out! Keep on trying - I have been really pushing myself these last few days too keep strictly on the program - having fallen off the wagon...

Hi Buffydog & Jules Thanks for the welcome! I want to lose another 4 stone to be back at the weight I was when I met my husband - maybe a bridge too far, but it is my ultimate goal. In reality if I lose another 3 stone I will be happy, it will take me to around 11st 7lb and hopefully a...

Hi Do you need another team member??? Can anyone join? Sorry am very new to the site and not sure how to do anything yet - creating a ticker etc! Please let me know if I can join - I have been on CD (ss) since end of June this year, with a two week holiday 'break' where we (my sister and I)...

Hi everyone I too find this time of day hard - too used to coming in and inspecting the cupboards to see what there is to munch while I got dinner ready. Now I just make up a mousse and log on for moral support! Only just joined minimims,but it is great to read how everyone else is doing -...

It will get better - have been on CD since end of June and tried WW & SW before. This is the easiest diet I have done, simply because I don't have to think about food. This is very much helped by my husband who is now cooking for himself after 29 years of marriage. I am pleased to say he has...
