It does make you feel better and yes it helps with all the germs and things! Oh let me know how that turns out! Yes I'm doing good, I'm hoping this lasts and doesn't change any time soon, hubby is the same, so positive! He's lost 2 stone now!!

Yes I understand that, training does build your body up and you need those nutrients to do it! I think healthy eating is the key for it all and becoming a healthy eater is the way forward for me! Oh that sounds nice, let me know how if turns out!!!

I just follow what my CWC tells me, but I'm week 7 now so I'm thinking that I will be moved soon. I'm happy either way although I think I would enjoy moving through the steps if I still see results, what about you? Any advice? Yes and I've been told the vanilla with a teaspoon of coffee added...

That's a good idea, I read through the steps with anticipation of when I will move but still on SS+ at the mo! I have clothes that I can now fit it which is fab, I'm going to buy new but not til I'm at my target! I bought some blouses for work just before Easter and now they are too big, nice...

Welcome back Coggers! Sorry to hear about your house, that happened here the other year, so annoying to come home to!! I'm doing good thank you, had my wi on Monday and another 3lb gone! I've lost 19lbs and 6" so far and I'm enjoying it! Just seems a way of life now! I've joined the forum on...

Thank you, it's the hardest time, I've never felt the urge to cheat before but this month it's awful but I did it and I'm proud of myself....the scales have also began to go down again, I remained the same weight for three days, must of been because of that!!

Hello peeps, quick question, does the TOTM knock you out of ketosis?

Fantastic :-) well done you! Just maintaining now!! Woohoo!!

Thank you!! How are you getting on?

My goal is 9stone so it's another stone and a half to go! I'm so motivated, I'm so pleased!! How you doing?

Hi Coggers, how are you? How'd you do? I've just had mine and I was 5lbs off and 6inches off the waist!!!!

Hi Girls, just had my wi, 5lbs off this week! I'm chuffed to bits and that's 6inches off my waist!!!

Yes I'm doing good thanks Jo! It's my wi in tomorrow and if my scales are right it will be 4/5lbs this week which means I've lost 16/17lbs!! I bought some ketone sticks and yes it says I'm in ketosis!! How are you getting on? My husband is doing it as well now, his first wi is Tuesday and he's...

For me as long as it's going down I'm happy!! He is on day three and he's doing well, already 8lb gone!! Yes you should, we went to the one in Waterloo, was amazing!

My wi is on Monday and hubby is Tuesday! I only ever seem to loose 2-3lbs no matter what I do! I'm sure he will loose loads being his first week! Well done you only being 10lb from goal, sounds like a dream!! Sounds amazing, never been to a premiere but I think is prefer the cruise! How awful...

You've been so good I'm sure you'll get a great result!! It's horrible here today, chucking it down! I'm making a chicken and spinach curry for dinner, really looking forward to it!

Oh dear, maybe tomorrow? When's your weigh in?

Makes you sick and the don't have the totm or hormone issues, makes you sick but it makes it's easier for me dinner wise, I can do the kids dinner and then him and I. He has been started in step 2 so slightly more protein, choice and he can have milk but I can live with that! Oh excellent...

I think your right! Keep going! :-)

Yes that's what I'm hoping although he's bound to loose more than me, think men do, but just makes me more determined lol!! Oh lol, I need to book a holiday first!!

It's so hard to shift and so damned easy to put on, pisses me right off but hey ho I'm feeling determined! I've lost 12lbs and have 2stone to go!!

How are you getting on?

There has to be some flavour! What step are you on?

Thank you, makes so much difference to food!

Hi, is red onion allowed on SS/SS+ or only spring onion?

You sound focused, I'm sure you will get there!! Good luck! :-)

I am yes, it just seems so easy and my husband is also going to give it a go! That will make me more determined lol!! Sounds like you are in the zone as well!! Glad the extra protein is helping you! We will be in our bikinis before we know it!!

Hiya, how are you doing? Well I had me weigh in this morning and another 2lbs off, I'm happy with that! 12lbs in 3 weeks! I was pleased because we were out all weekend and I didn't drink much water so I'm chuffed!

We haven't booked anything yet because we are having renovations on the house so we will see! I love rocket and really enjoyed my dinner last night! What woman hasn't done a diet of some kind lol?! I've done weight watchers and lost on that but took forever, did 5:2 but wasn't good because I...

Well done you, 4lb is fab!! Holidays are hard and I'm dreading them myself! You probably don't need the scales, I'm sure you know when you've overindulged or gained, I always seem too! You have to enjoy things as well, the weight can't take over your life!! I've had another good day, I had some...

My CDC said the same!

Does anybody chew gum?

Oh right, I may ask about that! Well done you!!! I'm sure that extra chicken won't make any difference, not like it's a load of chocolate or crisps! I think once your good you get such a buzz off if that you somehow keep going!! Good luck for your weigh in today, I'm crossing everything for a...

Is the mousse another product? I've not had that! How is it going? I've been working the last few days been so busy! But I've been 100% good!

Fantastic! I love hearing all the weight loss, makes it all so worthwhile! :-)

Well done you, sounds like a fab day!!! Keep up the hard work, makes you feel good doesn't it?! :-)

Your current loss

Is that just this week LizzRob?

Yes me too and I've never been one to feel the cold but yes it means it's working so it's worth it! I will be in my onsie by 6 lol

I will cross everything for you, we can only do what we can do! Good luck :-)

Haha! Fun size, I like that! Lol I'm doing good, just having my soup! How about you?

Yes fun size, I like that lol I'm good just having my soup. How about you?

Thanks amanda1978!! How are you doing?

Yep I'm a short ass! Well done you, keep going your doing fab!!

I'm only 4'11 so 9 is about right, pre kids I was 8 and that's ambitious! All we can do is try out best right?

I was 11.10 when I started, I'm now 11 and I want to be 9! You seem very determined I'm sure you will do it! The first week was tough and the second seemed boring but the third and I seem to be in the swing of it!

As my weigh in this morning, lost 2lbs, I'm a slow one but at least it's coming off! Week 1 -5lbs Week 2 -3lbs Week 3 -2lbs I've been 100% Sticking to it, wish it was more

Just been weighed and another 2lbs off, I seem to loose so slowly and I'm 100% sticking to it, I guess a loss is better than no loss. My CWC says you don't always loose as much if you don't have huge amount to loose

Yes I did the cinema twice in the Easter break and I love popcorn but like you I had my water lol! Aren't we good lol! I'm sure you will get good results and try to stay off the scales, it is hard, you want to see all the hard work paying off!

I've only tried the cappacino one hot and wasn't so keen....I'm here in my onsie with a cup of tea complaining about being cold, rest of the family say it's boiling!!

I did that the other week when I went out funnily enough, they will think I'm a junkie lol

Hi Clairey92, that's the hardest part of the diet socialising! I've got a 40th at the end of May and don't know what to do! I've been out for meals with the girls and I've had chicken and salad and a diet coke and that works but alcohol is another matter! I cook all the meals here for my hubby...

As you say once your in the zone you can work with it! I find going out for a meal with friends quite doable, that's when I have a diet coke which is a treat but I've got a friends 40th at the end of May and I don't know what to do about that, sure people will wonder if I don't drink alcohol...

Oh I can imagine especially if you don't want colleagues to know, it's hard, if we are just at home doing our normal thing it makes it much easier! It is training our minds and bodies! Keep going Coggers you'll do it! What shift are you on this week?

I work in a school so it's a very active job and I feel up to it I do a little stepping on the wii fit! I'm only in week 3 so I'm still in SS+! No fainting in public wouldn't be good lol!! So nice to be able to chat on here to people going through the same thing! I think it's a diet you don't...

Oh I might try that, sounds yummy! Yes I love it too and it's so filling and satisfying. Oh are you off somewhere nice? Sushi is something else I've never tried!

I've never done spin classes, I didn't think we should do anything too much while on SS/SS+? Or am I wrong?

Just had an update, new hob is being delivered between 9:45-11:45 yay :-)

Oh yes, I did say perhaps he needs to be on the CWP lol, I'm thinking I will have the chocolate milkshake carton that I have for work but I really enjoy the porridge! Oh yes men!!! How are you doing today?

Hi Sara, keep going and try some other products, I've pretty much tried then all now and I now know what I like! I'm doing SS+, I have apple&cinnamon porridge for breakfast, either oriental, veg or chicken and mushroom soup for lunch, a 200cals meal with the family and then I have my lemon...

Don't know what the ? is about, it should of been :-)

Morning ladies, just been reading through, Nikie you are so hard on yourself and you are doing fantastic! I'm on week three and it's weigh in tomorrow and so far I've only lost 8lbs but my CWC says sometimes a smaller loss is better as long term it stays off! I think we are hard on ourselves and...

I'm always feeling cold and the family aren't, I didn't realise that's part of ketosis! So glad I'm on the site I learn so much! Keep going ladies, we are all doing fab!!

Well done ladies, it's fantastic you have such big losses! I've stuck to it completely and lost 5lbs and then 3lbs and I weigh in tomorrow, they aren't the massive amounts I thought though and I don't know why but when i was on ww I only ever lost between .5 and 1lb a week so I guess it's how my...

It's true Jo, I feel like it's just a way of life now! We went to the harvester last night and I had a chicken breast and a very small salad! I was full and felt satisfied and came home to my yummy lemon bar treat!

Excellent Coggers you can do it! As I say I have my apple & cinnamon porridge for breakfast, soup or carton for lunch and I have a chicken breast sprinkled with chicken seasoning griddled then I put spinach, mushrooms, spring onions, one clove of garlic and a squeeze of lemon (sometimes fish or...

I do think a lot of it with me is because if I cheat it's money down the drain, I don't know, there may be time for me to binge or cheat but I really don't feel like it at the moment! I'm sure you two will get back on track and I'm sure our hormonal imbalance don't help! My CDC says men loose...

Keep going misfortune you will do it, I found the first couple of weeks hard but I'm in to it and enjoying it, never thought I'd say that about a diet!!! I'm sure it's because I have to have what they tell me rather than work it out with cals or points! Good luck and keep posting, we are all...

I have surprised myself Coggers but I just seem so determined and in such a routine. I'm drinking loads of green and other flavoured teas and I'm actually enjoying it! Easter weekend was tough but I managed to cook a roast turkey and all the trimmings and I made a mini egg chocolate cake and I...

Hi, I haven't been on in a while been so busy at work, managed to loose another 3lbs over the easter weekend, was tough but I've done! I've been so focused since then and have no appetite at all, so shocked, never thought I'd feel not hungry!! I'm hoping for a good result on Monday, want to wave...

A loss is a loss!! Well done x x

Fantastic Chrissy, we are all doing well ladies!! Yes try the cottage cheese, it is better than it looks! Mind you I think these days id appreciate anything lol

I spoke with my CDC yesterday and she said they are both effective if you stick to them like you said. I'm now SS+ and I have to say it feels so much better, had porridge for breakfast, soup for lunch the 200cals dinner and the shake as my treat. I feel really happy doing that, took the whole...

I couldn't agree more and yes we can do it!!!

Fantastic news, well done! Makes it all worthwhile doesn't it? X

I'm just cooking mine while my lot are having sausage mash and beans! Oh yes I love crisps but I find if you lick the bag (honestly) you feel like you've had some!! I checked it was ok with my CDC too lol xx

Sounds like you've got it sorted, that's what I need to do! Get a routine going! It's half term so having the kids here has made it more difficult but I will get there! I've decided not to have the omelette tonight, I've stuffed a small chicken breast with a smidge of cottage mixed with Cajun...

I find it useful to make sure I drink enough, it reminds me! Maybe, I really don't feel hungry, somehow I have to have all 3 things, wonder if it matters how late you have the last one? Xx

Well I have the dry mouth and I def don't feel as hungry today but my head is banging! Have you downloaded the app? That's a fantastic idea, why shouldn't we have a treat ??

Well done....fantastic!!! You must be chuffed! 5lbs for me on weigh in one! Xx

I've lost 5lbs on the SS, feeling happy but going to give SS+ a go, think the evening meal will help! Starting Weight 11st 10 Goal 9st Week 1 -5lbs

I don't even know if I'm in ketosis!! I know she said lemon effects some and not others but I'm really saying a tiny squeeze of a slice they put in a drink and no more. I will ask again, oh she replied and said it's fine! So hard to know, I feel all I ever so is ask questions lol!! We will get...

I've had a look online and it says cottage is nice in an omelette if it's grilled at the end so the cheese melts xx

Funny I just asked if we could mix the things so a bit of egg chicken etc. Well doesn't matter what we've got to loose, we are striving for the same end goal and talking to people like is helping me! I want to get to 9 if I can, I'm only 4ft11 so I need to loose it! If you buy the chicken...

Start weight 11st10 Week 1 SS -5lbs

I think that's what I'm going to do as well, funny today seems easier knowing that I can have that meal if I want too, does that make sense? What's your end goal?

Well done you that's fantastic news!! Well I've just got back and mine was a 5lbs loss, shows there is something wrong with my scales here although like you Mother Nature has also arrived and I'd had three glasses of water and my porridge, would that make a difference?? I've decided to do soul...

Thank you, i will see what she says today at my weigh in and take it from there. So hard to know the right thing to do but as you say it's how my body and my brain respond!!

Oh that's an idea, I might try that, thank you ?

Hi, I've now done nearly 10 days on soul source, my consultant is on hols so it's my first weigh in tomorrow! I'm finding it a little tough now. Do you get the same results on both of these? Thinking the 200cals evening meal may help me....

Hi, what are peoples opinions, do you loose more weight on one more than another??

Not sure I meant

When you're unwell you have to eat so I think you did the right thing. I'm not if I'm in ketosis or not! I feel very hungry today but that could be PMT!!

TwitchD thank you for joining in, that sounds perfect to me! I'm going to mention it tomorrow at my weigh in. I don't mind cutting down drastically but not if it makes you feel miserable. On the first day I did have the meal and I grilled chicken that I put chicken seasoning on and then I...

Yes tomorrow is my first weigh in as well ?, be nice to get it done! Yes I'm very much if I don't have it it's better but when I went out with my friends on Friday night and I had my chicken and salad and I felt satisfied, I may ask my consultant what she thinks, at least I could chew something...

Downsizeme-when is you weigh in day? Jo- I also hate scales, I have so many sets, I should throw them away and just wait to be weighed! I'm wondering whether soul source+ would be easier, well not easier but having an evening meal, would it make it easier??

Hi Downsizeme, I will be your buddy if you like ?

My cwp has just responded to me and said the burger or piri piri but no bun or coleslaw, think the dressing is no good with the caeser! X x

I have three choices...piri piri chicken breast with coleslaw (wouldn't eat) and salad for 448cals, skinny chicken breast burger with salad (won't eat bun) for 448cals or chicken caeser salad for 384....which would you go for?

Wine and orange juice is bliss compared to black tea and water! I guess we are being punished for being overweight lol!! Oh it's hard around other people I know, I'm out tonight and sure it's going to be hard! You can't beat yourself up for eating though, it's not always easy to be good! Xx

Yes perhaps that's what I will do. Are you having the bars yet?

Yes I totally get that, I have 4 sets of scales, would stand on them all and go with the lowest, they are evil things lol!! Well good luck for Tuesday! Mines Monday but it's not til 6:30pm, wish it was first thing really for a better result! Xx

So our aim is about the same! Fantastic, I'm sure you'll be fine! I'm tempted to do the same with my scales if I'm honest! You become obsessed otherwise!

Oh yes I bet it would lol, one to try when the weight is gone! It's going well, I've got my first way in on Monday, my consultant is on holiday so it will be 10 days! Fingers crossed, my own scales have pleased me, going to try not to go on them anymore! I have ideally another 2 to 2.5 stone to...

Hi ChrissyRiley, thank you for your tips, I will try that and get some coke zero! Bet they don't sell that in the pub lol!! I can't have the flavourings for water yet, when do I get that? After 2 weeks of SS?

Hi DawnValentine, yes I haves weakness for cakes lol!! Thank you for your advice about the coke, I get so bored sometimes of the lack a drinks rather than the food! I feel I'm getting there though, I've never had so many flavoured teas and coffees in the kitchen before lol!! How is your journey...

@dreamchaser I am feeling pleased and my feet feel like they've lost weight which seems crazy ?!! I'm spoke with my consultant and she said I can have diet coke occasionally, I'm out Friday night so I plan chicken and a side salad and diet coke...if I don't eat, I will get loads of questions and...

@dreamchaser...my consultant said you can have diet coke occasionally, I'm going f out with friends on Friday night so I will have my chicken and side salad and I will treat myself to a diet coke!! I'm just having a fruits of the forest shake, it's not too bad!! I agree, it's great to come on...

Hi Dreamchaser! I'm on day 6 of SS and I've lost 11lbs and I'm chuffed. The first few days were tough but I found willpower from somewhere! I bought a selection of stuff to try, I like the apple and cinnamon porridge, vegetable soup, chicken and mushroom, banana, choc, choc mints shakes so far...

Ok, that would be fab! You've done if before and are getting going again, does that mean your in knowledge? I have another stone and a half to loose, well two if I have it my way! What about you?

Hi Everyone, I'm on day 6 and I've lost 11lbs so far and I'm feeling happy and seeing results! Does anyone have diet coke on SS and what's everyone's opinions on scales, digital or mechanical or do you just get your consultant to weigh you? Anyone fancy a buddy?
