Hi All Foes anybody feel sick after taking pain relief on SS? I'm on day two plus totm but I don't think I've got enough inside my stomach to absorb the tabs I hate that sick feeling but I don't know if it's any better than pain!

I've done exactly the same so you are not alone in the re-start! Day one over, absolutely starving but we can do this! It's good that we are starting on the same day, we can go though the 3 day curse together! I'm seeing CC on weds to see how much weight ive put on over the last few weeks ;(...

I find recording stuff on here really helps to, getting advice and help kept me going through. it. I've re-started today, starving but going for it!.

Hi guyyyyss :) No I didn't disappear of the face of the earth. Ready for an update? Okay so just after my week where I lost 2 pounds and got my stone I got a bit ill but also lost all my motivation and had a dinner. This just made it worse and I thought i could go straight back but I kept...

Congratulations! Great isn't it, your going to hit your goal before you know it! I haven't tried these mix-a-mousse's maybe I should give it a whirl. Yes nothing screams carbs more then an afternoon tea! See how you are by then, no need to make decisions now you might feel okay about it! Keep...

Hi guys, so lost 2lbs this week - not ideal but I had a cheat. I reached a stone! Also got my measurements for the first time. I've lost 4inches from my waist, 3.5 from my hips and 1 from my bust and thighs. I hope your weeks are going well! Give me an update guys :) xx

4 weeks wow are going to have enough stuff?!

Hi Ellie, glad to hear your energy's back! I could do with some exercise! My week since sunday has been 100%. WI is tomorrow although I don't seem to have lost any weight and my scales tend to be right! Just shows cheating is not worth it! Oh well, might catch up with me next week you never...

How's it going vdub?

The first few days are the worst as you will have all the symptoms kicking in like headaches/tiredness. Just think of your WI, that's what got me through week one, knowing that if I stuck to it then I would have this big weight loss that I wouldn't be able to achieve (personally) on another diet.

I still want to lose another 4 stone in total. 3 on Cambridge, 1 on a healthy eating plan (may join SW or WW groups to keep myself motivated).. Therefore still have quite a long way to go on Cambridge. I just don't think I can do another 12 weeks of SS, this is what's making it so much harder...

Congratulations the first few days are absolutely the hardest! How are you feeling?

The only mango thing I've every tried is a nice cooler from costa, if it tastes anything like that ill love it! Thanks Bettie

P.s sorry about the nacho temptation although they were bloody good though!

Yep you're right. I have to say now I've had carbs I feel a lot hungrier today then I would normally. So in your opinion do you think I should skip the salad on Saturday to? I get what you mean the stricter I am now the less time I have to do this.It seems so clear in my head but it's really...

I really hope so! No it's Thursday

I know it will be fine :), thanks for the tip i'll give them a try!

I had a SS+ meal on Sat night (it was planned my CC knew about it) which I'm not really counting as a cheat but it's not ideal. However the Nachos I had at the cinema on Sunday were definitely very naughty! So yeah WI won't be good, shame as I wanted to lose 2lbs at least and get my stone. But...

I had a slip up this weekend too Vdub. We are human and this diet is really hard!!! But we've had our breaks so we can get back on it now!!

Hi guys, haven't posted for a few days but back with an update. So Saturday night I had a planned "meal" which my CC new about, it was a SS+ meal so it shouldn't really affect anything. I had chicken and baby leaf salad with a little fat free dressing. I'm not sure if the dressing is a no-go as...

I agree with this completely, if I ever buy 'bad food' I always feel like the cashier is thinking 'wow she should not be buying that' when in reality she probably doesn't give a crap! Hopefully one day soon I'll be able to feel more confident in my own skin. congratulations again!

You look AMAZING - wow you are such an inspiration. 16 weeks!!! Is that all on SS?

I've lost 12 lbs and no one can notice, it's so depressing!! Oh well another and maybe they will. :)

How did it go Vdub? xx

Hiya, I felt the same around day 5/6 if you remember reading, so I know how you feel. Fridays and weekends are defo the worst, if you get through them you can get through anything! Keep up the water and have an early night. I just keep trying to remind myself that I've had 22 years of eating...

4lbs for me- 10 to go

Haven't had a social event yet :/ don't know how I'm going to do it! Your willpower is awesome! X

Haha I know it sounds crazy to other people but we know the true delight that comes with chewing those bars!

Wahooo well done the first 5 days are supposed to be the toughest so your nailing this! xx

I just tried the Lemon one - so nice to chew something! xxx

Lost 4 pounds :) 2 pounds to a stone! got the bars today also. Hope everyones day has been good! x

Wi tonight guys! Week hopefully I've live a few pounds overnight ha! Have good days :) x

I know! You do everything right, no cheating or eating anything, and it feels like it's for nothing, it feels like I've just eaten a shed load of white bread and pasta allll the time. I'm going to ask my cc tomorrow what I can do about it because my motivation is dropping by the hour! Unlike my...

How's it going vdub?! Xx

I think the sames going on with me Ellie, don't even think I'll lose 2lbs so well done! Shane it's only my week 2 :( x

Hi guys, thought I was doing really well sticking 100% SS however the scales say different - unless I drop a few pounds in the next two days I don't think Thursday going to go that way! Really disheartened but what can I do! Also feeling pretty bloated, any remedies? x

:mad::mad: Okay, so I'm on day 12 today on SS, been 100% everyday however since my last weigh in I have only lost 1 pound!! What the hell! I'm having three shakes a day, no food, feeling like **** and all for one pound. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, you guys all do so fabulously and I...

Hiya! Good luck for tomorrow :) Just a quick question - where did you learn about the Aloe Vera colon cleanser? I haven't heard that mentioned before but if it doesn't affect weight loss I'm interested! x

Good luck Rebecca!

Yes it wasn't easy, good luck tomorrow!

Yes it might be, whens your next weigh-in?

Oh no :/ Are you doing okay with the water? Or do you think it's something else? x

I'm dreading my TOTM not only because it will show on the scales but it's also when I want a major pig out! That's going to be a testing week :) xx

Wahooo, starting is the hardest task! You can do this, your motivation is so strong! How has your first day been? xx

Day 10 - feeling a lot more optimistic today, I will do this! Hope everyone's days are going well. x

Absolutely do it really helps. I took a before picture and write notes in anotepad for most days when I remember! Every little helps :) xx

Absolutely, I think thinking of how long I'm going to be doing it is playing with my mind. But we can do it!

Yes, people say after two weeks you get more energy so I just need to keep going. Sorry I'm being all negative when your about to start! It's really good, just having some bad days and I like to vent it out to people who understand! So glad this site exists I'm going to go look at some before...

I know, hopefully feel better next week just need to get my willpower back a little bit. Thank you I hope you feel better and congrats on your journey so far :) xx

God luck! You've done it before you can do it again :)

Had a rubbish two days - didn't cheat however it's been the hardest thing not to I tell you! Nights and weekends are definitely the worst. If I'm out I don't think about it but if I'm not doing anything it's horrific. I really did not think this would be this hard! How naïve. Day 9 and still...

Good luck today vdub when are you officially starting? X

Thaks Cleo! I lost 8lbs so all worth it :) xx

Thank you! Good about the WI hwoever have a shitty headache at the moment that's trying to spoil my happiness! How was your day?

Oh I'm such a doofus, thankyou! x

Hi everyone, thanks for your comments last night they really helped. SO had my first weigh in today and lost 8lbs! Proper chuffed :) xxx

Oh my goodness im looking forward to when I can have the bars, just chewing something would be good! The lsit thing is a good idea, I live in leggings and skater dresses would be amazing to be able to wear a vest top and skinny jeans :) Also thanks for the water tip, I was worrying I wasn't...

Thank you so much for this. I want more than anything to get to my target and maintain it for ever! You're an inspiration and thanks for sharing this is why I love this site! I love the mint choc shakes too, soup and porridge isn't my thing so I'll probs stay on the shakes and then when I can...

Haha okay goodnight, thanks for the tip! xx

Hi Chlo, think you missed me - 14lbs please :)

Wow congratulations that is brilliant! Will do x

Ah okay, I know the lack of energy at the moment is a bit of a problem. Find myself losing concentration at work towards the end of the day! x

Absolutely :) Whens your next weigh in?

Yey go you! x

Oh that's good to know, I'm not sure how long i'll be able to do SS before I go on to SS+, I'm just going to take it a week at a time. I want to lose 5 stone all together however getting in the 13's then the 12's etc.. will be really exciting! x

That's quite good to hear about the omelette actually! When you eat and then go back to SS do you still get the headaches like the first few days because you've come out of ketosis? Also well done on only 1 pound gain after a cheat night! That's pretty good going! Thanks me too! My WI is at 5.30...

Well done Ellie! x

Congrats on your first week losses :) xx

Hi Soph! I'm on day 6 of SS. The first few days will be a bit a tough but once day 5 for was when I started to feel fine again! Got my first weigh in tomorrow it's gone quite quickly actually, good luck for your first week! x

Thanks lovely! Yep I feel the same, I might make walking a part of routine in the coming weeks. Congrats on your weight loss so far! You're doing brilliantly, what step are you on? x

Day 6 has been a lot better then yesterday, went for a 20 min walk today, don't know where to stand on exercise does it help or hinder weight loss when on sole source?

Hi all 14lbs please first full month so fingers crossed!

Yeah I think I'm just having a bad day! Thanks for that your totally right :)

Oh god good for you doing it being surrounded by carbs all day! that's motivation :) Yep it's fine xxjust the food cravings are the hardest part can't wait for my weigh in! Good luck tomorrow! Let us know how you get on :)

My CPC gave me a couple. I tested yesterday and it was dark purple which means I'm in ketosis but not drinking enough - although I am doing at least 2-3 litres a day so that was worrying. But I think the headaches and dizziness (if you had any??) are supposed to subside and you just generally...

Hi guys, I'm on day 5 of SS. First weigh in on Thursday - it's been okay so far stayed 100% day 3/4 were the worst headache wise but today I've just been craving food so bad. I really need to do this, all that's keeping me going is hopefully a good loss on Thursday! xx

I started on the 21st Feb! how are you getting on?

Consultants should be nothing but supportive! What did he say in the email? If I were you I'd see how he is next time you meet and if your not comfortable with his attitude just get a new consultant. As you said there are loads in Edinburgh. Congrats on you weight loss so far! xx

I feel fine now, I think once you get into ketosis you're supposed to feel a lot better. It's gone relatively quicky, being at work helps I think. I'm SS and day 5 x

I literally turn on the TV an it's people eating delicious food haha! Coming on here really helps though. How you getting on? What step are you on? xx

That's incredible well done! spread the good luck my way :)

congratulations that's amazing, hope mine goes as well! Coming on here everyday for the motivation!

Oh my goodness well done on the amazing weight loss! you must be chuffed and congrats on getting into the 14's! I mine goes well on Thurs! Mines been okay, first few days I had headaches but day five has been better - just craving food so much, super emotional today which sounds crazy!

Hi guys. So day 5 has been okay. Headaches have gone but I have never craved food so bad as I have this afternoon. It's a good job I had work otherwise I'm sure I would have cracked. Also felt quite down and emotional today. I think it's because I feel like I have so long to go and it's harder...

Hey! good luck for the weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm on day 5 and although the headaches have gone now I'm really craving food today. Feeling a little down about how hard this is going to be :( Anyone else feel like food is EVERYWHERE! Oh well just need to push through these next two days...

You look incredible, so inspirational well done! In only in day 4, feel like I have such a long way to go!

Roll on summer 2014 we can totally do this! Oh my god no! Every morning that's such a good idea! Your consultant will take a picture for you if you want, I think ill do weekly ones. I'm going to have a look at these pics now!

How did the weigh in go?

I know what you mean about the cutlery thing, I don't know how long I'm going to last on 3 drinks a day. May venture into the soups next week. I know exactly what you mean about the small goals thing. I have small goals like getting into the next stones etc.. I'm so short my whole body is just...

If your motivated that's all you need, that's what's keeping me going. My WI is Thursday evening so I shall update on here really hard not to weigh at home but weight varies throughout the day so I don't want to get my hopes up! I'm just having shakes this week because I don't like porridge...

This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing!

Hiya! This is a great place for support it really keeps you going looking at other peoples experiences. I'm only on day 4 so not the best person to give advice but so far I'd say once you get to day 3/4 it's going to be a struggle but just push through it. I feel a lot better this evening but...

Thanks guys, day 3 has definitely been a struggle. Had a dull headache pretty much all day so trying to up the water intake and have an early night, I'm going to test to see if I'm in ketosis tomorrow. Hopefully I will be and i'll start feeling better again! Stacey

Hi! I've started at pretty much the same time as you and we have similar stats! How was day 6? I'm only on day 2, just want this first week to be over with. Stacey

Hey! Thanks for all of that very helpful and congratulations on your weight loss, that's brilliant. Day 2 has been okay although very hungry as to be expected. Also had a bit of a dizzy spell late this afternoon which is worrying me as only 2 days in! Anyway as long as I get through the first...

I hope so! Well done on your stone loss in 3 weeks that's amazing!:)

Hi all, I've just started, day one today! I'm so hungry but super determined to do this. Just feels like such a long journey, but everyones got to start somewhere!

Hi all! I'm new here and new to CD. 1st day today, starting on Sole Source. First thoughts are not too bad, really hungry but to be expected! I have 5st to lose to get to my target of 10st :eek:. I really hope I get a good first week loss to spur me on, I'm more motivated then I've ever been...
