Thankyou :)

Aw thankyou! I always find it most helpful to look at bodies that were a similar size/shape as me! My goal is to maintain at between 10st and 10st 6lbs I think thats what looks good on me. I am quite big boned too I have big ribs and hips haha I'm still a size 36 bra even though I'm a size 10/12!

Thankyou so much ladies! If I can do it anyone can! Its all about not giving up on yourself! We are all worth it :)

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while here's a 7st update! Hope everyone is doing well :) size 24 vs size 16 vs size 10

In the 10's! :wow::party0011::bunnydance:

Yeah thats the plan :) i'm enjoying having a bit of chicken and quorn, yum yum!

Yesterday was good did a SS+ day had a prawn and brocolli stir 'fry' for dinner :)

Hello today I was pretty much 100% although I nibbled on some chopped carrot my flatmate was cutting, I'm kind of considering doing ss+ as for some reason i'm finding it really hard not to eat anything at all atm!

Right motivation is dwindling and I'm slipping off the wagon again (example just had the unbearable urge to shove a ritz cheese cracker in my mouth cus my flatmate was eating some, proceeded to do so, followed by 3 more before deciding I dont even really like them !!) So i've decided to...

6 stone pics featuring the size 12 ripped skinny jeans that haven't fit me for over 6 years!

A little halloween update, last year vs this year :eek:

Hey Ama you're doing great! You've got some amazing results so far just keep at it, it's a long journey but it's so worth it, I am now within one stone of my finish line and I can't believe it, I never would have thought I would come this far I might take some 6 stone loss pics soon :) Hope...

Thanks guys!A and yeah I have heard it is so much harder the second time to get back into it but you can do it and once your back in the swing of it, it will be ok!

3lbs to go til 6 stone lost! :eek::clap: hoping to be at goal weight for christmas!

Hello everyone how is it going? I am doing good, fell in a little after summer rut but getting it all back now, got a weigh in on wednesday hoping to have broken the healthy BMI as on my scales I have! Woo, my goal for October is to reach 11st7lbs so then I only have 1 stone to go! Feeling...

I know haha they like to push the boundaries!

Seeing consultant on sunday then it's back to uni for me which will be a challenge!

Size 14 still btw but a much better fitting 14 and fitting in all stores including topshop woo! I may have gone a bit crazy on ebay but I hate spending full price on clothes i'm going to shrink out of haha Dreaming of size 12 christmas party dresses, maybe even size 10 who knows what I will be...

Claire! How are you doing honeybun?

6lbs to go til healthy BMI! Hoping I can lose that in the next 2 weeks for when my best friend comes back from canada! I got that motivation back woo! How is everyone else doing? Ciara how'd it go seeing your consultant? And yeah my friends and family have been really great loads of compliments...

Danig! Yeah the first few days are the hardest while you're body adjust after that it's just mind over matter, you want food because you think you want it rather than actually feeling hungry if you get me? Ciara! nice to hear from you how are you doing lovely? Good luck on the last stone...

Danig I started on 4 products because of my height but I cut down to 3 :) how are you finding it?

That's amazing Pops! How are you finding it now? A little easier I hope!

Hey Guys sorry i've been MIA since i've last been on i've moved house and started a new job so crazy busy times the last few weeks!! Kitty, the lingerie pics kind of moritfy me but I find them the most inspiring cus there is no hiding and I want to help others so I just braved it haaha! And...

hey guys a -5st photo update! crazy stuff, doing step 2 atm :) How is everyone doing? any newbies lurking please say hi!

a photo update!

Hello ladies, sorry it's been a while, how is everyone doing? I'm finding it really slow at the moment, don't know wether its because i'm finished uni so i don't have much to do so I spend a lot of time thinking about my next products and it can be a long day! Ended up making a couple of...

Thanks! I was thinking about trying to do it on plan but I figure its better to do a whole week of just having what I want then getting back on it and sticking to it than getting fed up being on it for so long and just starting to cheat every other day etc! Fell off the wagon a little last...

Weighed in today at 13st 6lbs so now officially 4st down :)

Hello jo didn't actually go off plan for Katy Perry, was an amazing gig though! Having one WHOLE week off plan while im on holiday well I say off plan still having 2 products for breakfast but having lunches dinners I am so ridiculously excited haha don't even care if I gain because Its my only...

Yeah I have 7 stone to lose in total so 3 more :) getting there!

Hey guys so according to my scales I just hit my -4stone mark, 4 days before Katy Perry so very happy, official weigh in not til next wednesday though :) How is everyone doing?

6lbs loss this WI, 5lbs more for 4 stone! How is everyone else getting on?

Claire! Hows my thinspiration doing? are you working up the steps now or still SSing it?

Hello Tor, yes the first week is pretty tricky but the good thing is it only gets easier in terms of actual hunger, I feel fit as a fiddle these days with just my 3 products it's only psychological when I crave things! Hope you get a good result on your first WI :)

Hey Jo, yes fingers crossed should still be on track, was a night off last night while I was at the ball as I had the meal and was drinking! A deserved little break now back on it and chugging the water to nurse my hangover! Hoping it doesn't set me back too much but what will be will be it was...

Hey Guys How is everyone doing? A little photo update as I had my college ball last night last year was a size 22, this year a size 14 after 12 weeks on SS :)

thanks guys, will be interesting as it gets closer to summer to see what motivates me more, swimsuits or ice cream lol

new mini goal is 10lbs in 3 and a half weeks as I am going to a Katy Perry concert with my sis! and that will take me to -4st :eek:

ooh also I am now exactly half way on my ticker! exciting

Hey guys so the official verdict was 14lbs in the 4 weeks I was away, one of which on step 2, Yay! I have a planned day off next week for my university ball so having a cheeky 3 course meal SO EXCITED haha what is everyone up to?

Thanks Jo, I can't believe i'm going to actually have proper before and after pics this time! Tried other diets before and never got far past the 2nd pic and then back up again, a stopped taking before pics in the end but this time I knew it would be different!

that's great! hopefully you will get in the twelves at your weigh in, I can't wait to see what the official scales say because I havent has a proper weigh in for 4 weeks cus I was away then my CDC was! haha aww yeah i've come back to my flat now to study so said goodbye to the parents before my...

I love love love this thread cus not only did it give me encouragement when I started it is one of the most positive threads when it comes to maintaining too, you seem like you have completely settled in to healthy living while still allowing some time for the food you love! So inspirational :)

Also my 'chins' are not budging! anyone know any good exercises to reduce a double chin? don't want a saggy skin chin!!

Hey Guys! How's everyone doing?! I'm busy studying for exams (again!) as I have one on Easter Monday :( so no relaxed Easter weekend for me but did have a little egg hunt with my wee bro and sis, and I got a Lush egg bath bomb at the end as i'm off the choc! Used it last night and it was...

Yay welcome back Stacy, well done you for getting back on the proverbial horse, you can do it!

Hey nikie, how did the weigh in go? and that's good pamoke, the more you drink the more you shrink! When is your first WI? Had a non official WI today and 5lbs down :) in the last 2 weeks one on step 2

Hey Pamoke Good luck on your first week! I think the first week goes the slowest lol as you get used to it al, keep chatting on here though it really helps!

Welcome back Nicki! Thanks yeah I have been suprised how quick it goes on my 9th week now! and nearly 3 stone down :) Yeah getting on much better with my consultant now, I think when i said about going down to 3 products he thought i might be about to give up but now he sees i'm serious I think...

VDub, how are you going? x

Hey claire! That's great about the clothes, size 10 is amazing! I now fit a 16 down from a 22 :) I have an event in may that I have bought a target dress for at a size 14! too scared to try it on yet though! and haha glad you bought new pants, I had to by new bras because i've lost 4 inches off...

Hey guys, on step 2 for a week this week, should be interesting! How are all you guys doing? It's been very quiet in here!

haha yeah, pants are so expensive nowadays lol gonna be keeping the baggy ones til they are falling off

Aww thanks Claire! Don't worry about being busy I just hope everyone is not commenting because they are powering through and not cus they've fallen off the wagon! Yeah I surprised myself with the last photo, really happy because my back is one of the areas I was always most conscious about...

Ok so not ready to show the belly just yet but here is a progress photo of my back!

Where is everyone! how are you all doing?

Phewph ok so exam was ok (not as good as yesterdays went but oh well, think I passed overall a they are cumulative!) And lost 8lbs the past 2 weeks bringing me over the 2stone mark :) 11lbs to go to hit the 3 stone mark so hoping I can do that in the next 3 weeks? :whacky068:

exam then WI today... NERVOUS :help2:

Thanks Vdub so fricking nervous for tomorrow! but yeah can't wait to be on placement I am also doing a week in a wildlife rescue centre but thats a lot lighter work so hoping some extra bars will keep me happy! How are you doing? Hello Kath, when do you start or did you start last week? :)

Yeah its annoying, I think though the more liquid you drink the less bloated you are meant to be less bloated but yeah it feels like the more you drink the more you are just like full of liquid! I will be delivering lambs on a farm haha it's quite physical work and its long hours in the cold! I...

Hey yeah I am doing good, well one of those four weeks I am doing ss+ because I will be working 8am-8pm on placement so definately think I will need a meal at the end of it as it's labour intensive work I'm doing too I feel OK a little wobbly too this week, I don't know for some reason the...

Going to have the ultimate test tomorrow cooking one of my favourite meals for my family and none for me! Actually excited cus I really miss cooking! What are you guys up to this weekend? and how has your week been?

yeah I'll just have to buy it all at once haha, there goes my paycheck :P

Yeah I think the body takes a wee bit of time to adjust back but i'm sure when you are back in the swing of it you'll be seeing those numbers drop! well i've just realised that I won't have a WI for FOUR WEEKS! after my next one as my cdc is on holiday then I am away on 2 weeks work placement...

Hello everyone! It will be weird not having a weigh in today but on the plus side I think I'm finally in the stage where I have more energy than I used to! Been walking my dogs in the sunshine and didn't get out of breath the whole way round when I used to about half way! How is everyone...

yeah it hard to know if you dont get many signs, i'm sure you'll be fine! And no I didn't bring scales to my parents and they only have like analogue ones which are not very acurate so will have to wait til im back which is 2 days before my WI anyway!

ah i see, my CDC just said diet drinks lol which isn't very specific, yeah i'm doing good, slowly trying to sort out my tummy trouble though, I have an unpredictable digestive tract!

VDub some CDC's say that diet drinks are ok, so next time if your really really craving have that, as the worst it has in it is sweetners and the cambridge shakes and bars have that! and it will probably stop you eating any food :)

Oh dear Vdub, well the diet coke won't have done any damage but not sure about the sandwhich! do you feel like your out of ketosis? hopefully it won't do too much to your WI next week, I'm doing good :) gonna be weird not having a WI on wednesday though

Haha ciara thats just as bad! My mum felt so bad bless her because she bought loads of my favourite food for me coming down as I haven't seen them in a while, but I surprised her about the diet so now she's cooking all my favourite dinners for everyone but me! How is everyone doing today? Its...

Lol yeah roast pork for everyone in my fam, eff Sundays huh!

aw no pings that sucks! I'm good, not having my mums cooking is so hard, she's an amazing cook and everything she makes smells amazing its torture haha but I just keep thinking that she'd rather have a healthy daughter and I want her to be proud of me :)

This is so great to hear claire, it all about being comfortable and happy in your own skin and being able to be yourself! I think you're right too that a lot of the things we thought people might say or think about us is actually just a reflection of how we feel we are rather than what people...

Yeah, I have found that I have to drink more than 4litres to help the bloating, everyones different though And thats good about the bars, you will love them :)

Yeah hun thats fair enough :) if I post any before and afters I wont include my face :)

Woo well done Vdub that's great! did you talk to your CDC about being bloated did they have any suggestions? And yeah Claire you look amazing!

:0clapper::winner: Wooo! Claire you look amazing! Seriously you are my inspiration, you must be feeling great! And don't worry your boobs are fine lol!

No I don't think it's possible to gain weight on week one but the bloating definately can make you feel like you have! How much are you drinking? Drinking more water definately helps with bloating, I am drinking 4l+ now because thats what my body needs to not bloat. Yeah I am staying on plan :)...

Hey VDub I'm great thanks, came home to my parents house for the weekend and they both exclaimed how nice a looked and stuff and I chatted with them about the diet so feeling pretty good :) wont have a weigh in this week though as won't be back up to edinubrgh til next weekend How are you doing...

Well done stacey!

It's true though, every day we are on this we are doing something about it and if we stick at it everyone will reach their goals. I a doing good, loving the bars too wish I got more, only ordered 3 for the next 2 weeks as seeing my CDC fortnightly now!

So just tried to chocolate and mint bar, also very good but hard to chew lol, think my kitchen is too cold as it was almost solid!

I actually liked the chicken soup a lot but it's the only one I like, it's good for when I want something savoury! and as for the shakes I pretty much only have banana, chocolate and chocolate mint now, the first 2 weeks I loved the toffee and walnut one but now I don't like it, but you can...

Hey VDub! that's great that you've been feeling good on it :) I didn't really feel anything like headaches or anything like that but I had bloating from week 2, how are you finding the products?

Aww thanks pings! Think I just know myself and knew if I started to eat something I wouldnt be able to stop :) I loved the bar though! Tried the lemon bar first it was yummy! got a few others to treat myself while i'm revising, good luck with your WI! you will do great :)

Even the longest journey begins with a single step Ciara :) you can do it! A stone is fantastic

Yeah I will see how the fibre and tea helps first, had my first bar today! First time I've chewed something in 4 weeks felt so weird :)

Thanks vita! I will try the green tea and just picked up some cambridge fiber today! Yeah I know it would be unrealistic and unhealthy to lose more than a few pounds a week Its just a bit of a downer when you've had a tough week and your numbers aren't as good because of something like...

Aw Stacey, it sucks cus you know youre doing everything the same and one week you lose like 7-10lb then the next like 1-2lb! And I hate having tunmy pain, feels like TOM all the time atm!

Hey Ciara, Just had my weigh in and only down 2lbs this week :( and apparently up 2 inches! but ive been having really bad toilet trouble this week so CDC thinks theres a lot of water retention going on, need to up my water intake and try and sort the constipation Yea I downloaded it but i'm...

Ok so perhaps TMI but having my first really bad side effects :( been constipated for a few days, took some senokot, and passed today and had a lot of blood in my stool, think being constipated has given me haemorrhoids :sigh: I totally freaked out and ran to my roommate who gets them all the...

Yeah good plan! and you still get good losses on SS+ cus it's still soooo much less than what I would usually eat

That's good :) yeah SS+ sounds so good lol but trying to stay on SS as long as I can stand it haha

Hey pings, ooh that's interesting! Hope that works for you :) cant wait for wednesday as I ordered some bars woo! I'm doing okay, more hungry lately than I have been before!

Aww thanks! Is this your first week back on it? You can do it :)

How is everyone doing? Pings are you starting SS again? VDub how was your first day!? Stacey/Claire/Ciara/Shaun how are you guys doing! When is your next WI? sending you all good vibes :vibes:

see its weird I had absolutely no problems for the first 2 weeks but i'm on week 3 now and it's the only time i've been getting headaches and feel so tired! BUT I also have a blocked nose and a bit of a temperature so I think it is more that I have a bug than the diet as it doesnt make sense to...

Woo Vdub :) keep updating your diary it is also good for you to look back and see all you've achieved :) but still come chat to me on my thread lol!

Well done claire! I love that attitude too, you're right our bodies and food choices is nobody's but ours! And yeah it is annoying when TOM affects the scales but I always just think it will make next weeks loss even better because you will have your actual weight lost plus tom weight going...

Yup I finish my exams and my first 12 weeks of soul source on the same week, me and my room-mate a planning a weekend away in london to celebrate, then going to have a week or two on step 2 (chickeeeeeeen!) and then probably back down to soul source til I hit my target weight or am at least...

Hey Vdub yeah starting with a full day is a good plan! are you nervous? You will be fine! and yeah I didn't really have any bad days in my first week was pretty lucky! It usually depends what i'm doing but yeah it can be hard if you are not doing much because if i'm bored I tend to want to eat...

Ooh exciting Vdub, I would say have the lunch and start tomorrow, I think it's better to start with a full day, although the only thing would be what is your day like on Monday/Tuesday in case you get any side effects before you enter ketosis, the earlier you start the more likely you will be in...

Weekend, weekend, weekend! What is everyone up to?

Woo well done Ciara! Yeah that's my plan I walk everywhere which is always at least 40mins a day so that is something! Will add to that when I feel I can :)

Yeah I think it could be good, if you try a little and build it up :) I'm so fricking tired at the moment the thought of doing any cardio makes me shiver! It's mostly from stress though as I have exams coming up and I always get really drained! Anyone else has WIs this week?

Ok well I'll keep that in mind if I need a change, I I change to her you can maybe get a referral perk too? How is everyone doing today? Claire did you have a WI yesterday?

I'm alright thanks pings, got a stonking headache right between my eyes but have drank loads today :( I also have a blocked nose so think I might be coming down with something!

And ooh thanks Ciara will look at the spreadsheet when I get home! Hope your stomach is feeling okay mine doesn't tend to make any noises but it's been really bloats lately!

Hey Pings, 3" is great! I've only just lost 3" round my hips and that's with a stone and a half gone, it all comes off people differently, I am trying a bit of milk this week too! We can do this :)

Ah ok yeah if you could find out that would be great :) although actually had a good weigh in today with my CDC's wife who is also a CDC and then my CDC text me to say how well I had done so hoping I was overreading the whole thing! If worse comes to worse I can ask what days his wife does :)

Thanks, haven't told them i'm on cambridge cus wanted them to see the results before voicing their opinion on the plan, I think they will be okay with it especially when they see how happy I am :)

in other news my tiny flat mate just had a second lunch of a bag of chips from the chippy after eating her intended lunch of a sandwhich at 11 and getting hungry again! How is she a rake I do not understand, some people eh?!

Hey pings, Thats a shame but you never know it might say more on your CDC's scales, I think I will find it hard to do the portion thing when i'm back on real food, that's why trying to stay on SS for as long as I can! Hoping I can make it the full 12 weeks, can't believe I am a quarter of the...

This is very true, I think i've been very lucky that my body has responded well to this diet, I think it also goes faster in the first few weeks the more you have to lose as I have no shortage of fat reserves lol!

Yup average 7lb a week since I started, wish it could be like that forever! Would be done in no time lol

Woohoo 7lbs :) hoping to lose another 7lbs in the next 10 days before I got home to my parents then I will have lost 2 stone! might be a bit of a push to lose that much again

thanks pings, weigh in is in about an hour :)

In other news it's WI day :) and i've had a hot chocolate shake for breakfast yum yum!

Thanks Ciara, I don't want to bad mouth him as he's been great in other areas, but yeah I feel like the relationship isn't as strong as it should be and I might be better finding another consultant, then I can be transparent from the start about wanting to be on 3 shakes etc, it's hard to know...

Hey hun do you mind me asking who your CDC is in Edinburgh? you're in the area too right? If we're not meant to say on here then can you email me her details to [email protected] :) thanks hun

Thanks Stacey :) I'm really happy with my losses! Just saying things like now he won't be able to justify the petrol to visit me and then replying in really short emails when he usually sends pretty long messages and I'm just generally getting a vibe y'know Good luck for your first weigh in :)

Hmm so now definately think he might be mad as he has just emailed saying he has come down with something so is not coming to weigh me tomorrow and sending someone else in his place to drop off my shakes and weigh me :( feeling a bit put out, part of the reason i'd rather be on 3 shakes and the...

How are you doing pings? Think my CDC is kinda mad about the 3 shakes thing, although I might just be misinterpreting as it's hard to read someones tone in email, will see how he is with me tomorrow but if I am going to get negativity I am going to find another consultant because I know my body...

Hey pings I'm doing good today, looking forward to weigh on tomorrow, been 100% all week but not feeling much difference this week That's a shame ss+ is making you feel bloated I feel quite bloated just now too and my cdc said maybe drink less water but I get headaches if I do Can't wait to...

Thanks guys :) yeah I wish I had taken a proper before, I have taken some in undies haha but not brave enough to put the before up til I have a decent after maybe at 3st then 6st marks! It's scary on your first week just having the before but really is great for motivation even just 2 weeks in...

yeah I think i'm okay with it, I think my CDC is just a stickler for the official guidelines and technically because of my height I should be on 4, he's always quoting the book and that so I think he just like to stick to what it says, tbh I find I use this forum for support waaay more than my...

okay so really bad editing and don't know how much of a difference others can see but this is the 18 dress I bough from prim ark on sunday (2 and a 1/2 weeks in) and above is at my school dance last May around my heaviest, size 22, I think the loss is exaggerated a little by the angles in the...

So spoke to my cdc and he said I can go on 3 sachets a day but he would recommend I drink the milk and that if I do he will only be able to see my every 2 weeks to justify petrol as he drives out to see me on a different day from most of his other clients in Edinburgh, which I think is fair...

Thanks yeah I weigh myself but sometimes the scales say different things so don't hold my breath and trust the CDC scales, I think the best thing is to order a wide range of things that you think sounds nice and then you can like streamline the ones you like as the weeks go on

yup! Which I wouldn't mind if if I felt like I needed them but I just don't think I do, especially if I was having milk I will speak to my CDC tonight before I put my order in for wednesday, no haven't tried the bars yet are they the same price as the shakes or are they the same as the tetras?

Mine WI is a wednesday, my CDC wanted it to be Sunday but I am away at the weekend a lot between my student address and my parents address so I didn't think that would work. haha yeah i'm inpatient too the first week I thought it was going so slow but now im nearly on week 4! it goes faster...

Thanks ciara :) Yeah although I always get nervous for weigh in day, also this week I want to talk to my CDC about going from 4 shakes to 3 as I don't think I need 4 and if I find that I do in that week I can just have some skimmed milk like i'm doing SS+ and drink more water and go back to 4...

Thankyou :) since I was 14 I have always been the same size as my age and this year I turned 20 and realised I was a size 22 and I just though I can't keep growing out as I grow old! But it means I literally have no smaller clothes! So going to have to do lots of shopping as I go down the sizes...

See my CDC said I should have 4 shakes because of my height but I really don't think I need the 4th one think I might ask if I can change to 3 shakes and the milk!

Both from primark as don't want to spend too much money if i'm (fingers crossed) going to keep shrinking!

Vdub, yes I have, just before I started the diet I was not really fitting any of my size 20 tops anymore that I had fitted for a year or so and had bought a few things size 22, now all my size 20 tops and dresses fit perfectly and my size 20 jeans started falling down! So I bought some 18 jeans...

Haha thats so funny! Great minds think alike, and yeah you are meant to keep off alcohol as it has a high calorie content and also it really goes to your head as you are on such low calories

Hello Vdub, this sight is great for motivation, very good plan I had a dominoes the night before I started sole source haha, didn't tell my CDC that, I just wanted to give fatty food a proper send off but it probably made it harder for me to get into ketosis my first week, ah well!

Yeah it was on sale so I thought even if it's tight now hopefully it won't be soon! I tried on some leather trousers too haha and nope still don't have skinny enough legs to pull those off, looked like a bin bag! lol. Yeah it was nice I cannot weight till I can go into a shop that doesn't go...

Pings, I hope you have had a good weekend :) have you done SS+ both days?

Haha I hated food posts on facebook before now I really hate them! Is your weigh in day tomorrow Shane? Are you on 3 shakes a day or 4? Your schedule sounds hard! I just have uni from 10-5 or 9-4 every day and then from 9-1 on wednesday which is why that is my weigh in day :)

Haha I have will power for now! It helped that today we went shopping and I fit a pair of 18 jeans (down from a 20) and almost fit an 18 dress (from a 22) so I bought the dress for motivation, think it should fit nicely in a week or so :) and 5lbs is great so far hopefully you can get to 7-10lbs...

Hey pings! My weekend has been hard, had my little sister up visiting me at uni which has been fantastic but been buying her lunches out and dinner and cooking for her and her and my roomate and I all made nutella cake which was fun but oh my hard to not have one when you've finished! Was 100%...

I dont feel lighter yet but I do feel the inch difference, like if I put my hands on my hips I can feel that there is less, not much but still pretty exciting :) yeah as long as it's still coming off instead of piling on then I am happy :) no not really and hunger pangs, get a little cloudy...

Hey pings! yup every little helps! I heard 1lb of fat is equivalent to 3 sticks of butter! and thats now gone forever :) I'm feeling pretty good been having some of my shakes hot like a hot chocolate, going to try the bars next week I think, let me know if any flavours are good!

Hey pings hoping for a loss for you, even a little one is still a loss :) You've done so great to get yourself back on track, I know I would find it hard to not let one bite turn into the whole plate! I'm trying to finish off my last 2 packets of yucky leek and potato soup! I can't bear to...

Yup I know the feeling! I put off starting for 2 weeks but once you do you get into the swing of it pretty easily :) good luck!

You just have to push through it, you only really feel hungry the first 2-3 days before ketosis, when it kicks in the only hunger is mental wanting, your body feels fine :) tips would be to space out your shakes and water as evenly as you can throughout the day, it helps with any hunger feeings

Spoke to my CDC and he says he can fluctuate by 7lbs in a day! Crazy, but makes me feel a lot better :)

So we are on day 14 or the end of week 2 and I have now officially lost 1 stone, showing 16st 8lbs on my CDC scales (16st7lb on mine but oh well!) Feeling a lot better now I know that my weight fluctuations are normal :) Come on week 3! How are you all doing?

Hey Ciara, Thank-you! I have now lost 1st in 2 weeks, yipee! Kind of sad the loses will be slowing down but hoping I can still hit 3-4lbs a week! Is it harder starting SS again or is it easier because you know what to expect? I'm sure you'll do amazing either way! You can totally slim down for...

Hey Pings, Yeah I might add a couple of bars in next week to add a bit of variety starting to get bored of the shake flavours except my beloved chocolate mint! My CDC comes at 2pm so will update you guys then :) I am hoping for -4lbs

Thanks Liz! I want to try the famous lemon bar lol

Ok thanks guys, was just worried cus I always 'feel' heavier in the evening too! Weird!

Hey all, How much daily weight fluctuation is normal/was normal for you ons SS? I fluctuate by 5-6lbs! and in the evenings I am feeling a bit bloated. But only been having my packets not even a bite of anything else. Did anyone else experience this? I think it is because of the water :confused:

Hey pings, so yeah the fluctuations are apparently due to the weight of the water you drink but it's so annoying cus mine changes by like 5lbs! and I kind of feel bloated and bleuch in the evenings, like sloshing about almost! I get 4 products a day cus i'm over 5ft8 so I have them 9am, 1pm...

Yeah weighed again this morning and it's back down! Weird, probably just me scales being silly, their weight watchers ones lol so maybe they object to my Cambridge weight loss! I had a really good weekend seeing my best friend in Liverpool we went to see Russell Brands stand up and I for a...

Hey pings, Sorry I was away for the weekend with little internet! I'm sure a few bites didn't hurt, I inversely haven't had anything but the shakes since last weigh in and my scales are showing an INCREASE today?! really confused but feeling kind of bloated today so don't know if it's a...

Hey, ooh hope you like SS+, I tried my chocolate shake hot today and it was delish! Like a creamy hot chocolate! I've been pretty good today going to the cinema again tonight and going to try and make it without the diet coke as my CDC said I shouldn't have it! trouble for me I love cinema...

Yay well done pings! yeah super happy with 10lbs hoping for 4 this week and that 1stone already! I was feeling the cravings today! My friend was eating some lovely lemon chilli crisps and I almost had one but I was like NO! Think of that stone! Yeah I only really like 2 flavours of the soups but...

Hello Nat :) Also just finished reading this, very inspiring, I also aim to lose 6 stone! You look fantastic you should be very proud of yourself, Hope you reach your goal for your birthday!

Feeling uninspired today but this diary is helping :) thanks!

Day 5 - Ok so today has been quite bad but entirely my fault! I forgot to take my shake to uni with me for lunch so had to go 10-4 with nothing, drank loads of water and got home and just had my shake but I feel a bit light-headed and headachey, silly silly me, hopefully I will feel better soon...

Thats amazing :) i'm a size 22 now and hoping to be a 14/16 in 12 weeks time and a size 10/12 is my goal! I'm quite tall though so would be happy at a size 12/14 if I was at my goal weight and healthy BMI I just want to be able to shop in high street stores again! and i'm with you on the bra...

Amazing! we have similar starting body shapes and I only hope I look as great as you in 8 weeks! Keep going girl you're doing fantastic :) Also do you mind telling me what difference this has made in clothes size?

Wow this is so inspirational, you were such an beautiful bride and amazing that you've maintained it :) ahh really gets me excited for what could be!

Thanks the only thing i'm feeling today on day 4 is a kind of bloating? or at least a lot of gas movement in my stomach which is weird, think I may have been drinking my water too fast! Your weight loss goals are similar to mine, I aim to lose 90lbs!

This was a very good thing to read as I am just started out, I really want this to be a positive experience!

wow incredible! He looks amazing :)

Woo well done :) I'm on day 3 of Cambridge and still feeling surprisingly good, don't think i'm in ketosis yet, had some craving but not really hunger just my general want want want thoughts! I am resisting the urge to weigh before the 1 week mark!

I'm on my 3rd day of Cambridge and been drinking 4l a day, need to pee constantly!!

Hi, I'm Ellie and i'm new too, we have the same starting weight and goal weight! I'm on cambridge diet though :)

Day 3 and still feeling pretty good, went to the cinema with my boyfriend which was a test as I would never usually go without popcorn! But managed My stomach has been a little upset today bowel movement wise but nothing i'm not used to with IBS Still not sure if i'm in ketosis, not...

These pictures are amazing and inspiring! Wish there was some more current ones though!

This is such a good idea :) going to try this when it gets warmer!

Day 2 and still feeling good, no headaches or anything yet :) I'm surprised about how easy I am finding it to drink all the water seeing as I literally drank no water before! But I find it helps me to have something to go and get from the kitchen so I'm not tempted to snack!
