Thanks everyone for all their great comments. AF turned up this morning- so not pregnant which is a good thing, I so want to get my BMI below 30 before I even think of trying to get pregnant. This means I wouldn't be under consultant care or even be considered a high risk Mumma! Thanks...

I have had the worst flu for nearly two weeks with V&D bad! Might have effected things. Thanks for the congrats- certainly would be a surprise! Not an unwanted one though. I just really wanted to be a better weight before getting pregnant as I could not forgive myself if anything went...

Hi all, I started SS 6 weeks ago and have so far lost over two stone- whoo hoo! the whole point of the diet for me was to be a healthy weight before we start trying for a baby next year. But- I am now 5 days late, have horrible taste in my mouth (maybe Ketosis- but is very different), sore...

Hi I am doing a mixture of SS+ and SS. I know technically you should do one or the other but I have found no difference to my losses by adding about 3 SS+ meals a week. Seem to lose 4 pounds doing SS on it's own and the same with some meals. Makes it more manageable in my opinion. If you...

My CDC says it's fine to have salmon on SS+ I have about 150 grams, so slightly less that the normal fish allowance. Hx

Shameless bump

Hi all, I am in the process of introducing SS+ for a while as was getting exhausted with just SS. My question- how do you measure two tablespoons of lettuce- has anyone tried to pick up a tablespoon of lettuce- all you get is a few leaves and then it all falls off! I have basically been...

Thanks for the advice I have been having a few SS+ meals over the last couple of weeks. So I decided to do that tonight- have had quorn and broccoli, hopefully will make me feel a bit better. Am pleased I have managed to stay on plan.

Dear all, I am in week 4 of SS and doing really well. Have lost 19 pounds so far and am loving it. However, I have been struck down with awful flu this week. The proper kind- high temp, sickness, aching body etc. I have managed to stick to SS but I am feeling so weak and it seems to be...

Hi Burgerbun, I too am at the end of my second week on SS. Have actually found this week much easier than last week- though I am hungry and miss food hugely! Have you considered doing SS+? You can have one small meal each day from the list in the book plus 3 shakes. I have discussed with my CDC...

Hi I am at the end of week 2 of SS and loving it so far! Have been thinking a lot about Christmas and what I am going to do. I go skiing in Feb and really want to be at my lightest ever (will still have a long way to go) but at least will be giving myself the best chance of enjoying it...

Hi all, Was terrified about getting weighed for the first time last night. But... I lost 11 pounds! So pleased with myself- could not get better motivation for carrying on! Thanks to everyone for their support. Hx

Thanks I am so annoyed at myself- Started on Monday and have done so well on SS- hating every second and feeling miserable but haven't given in once. I feel tricked by my brain- we should be on the same side. Really hoping it's had no effect!

I ate Totally by accident- I was concentrating on something at work really hard- was offered a choc finger and just took one and popped in my mouth. Didn't even occur to me not to, All week I have been concentrating so hard on saying no to all food offered. Am gutted! Does anyone think it...

I think I went into Ketosis on Day 2 as well My tongue was certainly horrid to look at and my breath was pretty ripe! Good work- keep it up Hx

Celery... xkatiex thanks for your reply. So if you are SS+ are you allowed to eat celery whenever you want- or just with your 200 Kcal meal? I can't believe how much I an lusting after chewing something. Am considering switching to SS+ as think it might make the journey easier and make it...

Thanks for the answers! Day 2- half way through the day- feeling ok so far! Roll on ketosis! Hx

Hi all Started today- had two packs so far and lots of water. Am hungry but feel I can cope. I have some questions: 1) A friend who is on LL told me that once she ate a meal, was totally desperate and just had to eat something. She was then sick very quickly afterwards. It didn't effect her...
