Just want to share my happy day! not only is it my 10th wedding anniversary but have reached the 3 stone loss at my weigh in today! Only 7lb to go! Cant quite believe Im talking in pounds! For all you newbies, stick with it, it is sooo worth it. I remember back to my first few weeks and how hard...

Yes,Couldnt do this diet without it, I drink it hot too and make it into ice lollies fo hot days and mix with mix a mousse to make a jelly to eat in the eve (it goes a bit strange and frothy on top when you do this, but tastes great and solves the munchies!). They do an orange one too, but dont...

I buy cheap sparkling water, about 15p a 2 ltr bottle from most supermarkets, and add berry flavour, its yum, I manage to drink about 3 to 4 litres a day of this x

Thats a big jump! Agree with others, go ont ss+ for a week and see how you go. I felt the same as you at about 4 weeks, but AM SOOOO glad I stayed on ss for longer, apart from mini breaks, am off to Spain on sun, getting a spray tan on sat and plan to wear a bikini for the first time in years...

......book a spray tan for sat in order to wear a bikini for the first time in years on my hol to Spain next week! Actually looking forward to going somewhere hot for the first time in years! I can now wear a skirt without my inner thighs rubbing together! Yee ha! Thank goodness for cd! x

I had skimmed milk in coffee from about week 3, and it made no difference to my weight. I only have about 2 cups a day though. x

I take a container of berry flavour wit me and a medicine spoon, and ask for a straw and stir it in soda water. looks dodgy though white powder in a tub!!

Magic Knickers!!! Tee hee!!! No seriously, skin seems to catch up so dont panic too much. My face has lost alot of plumpness, and I panicked as seemed to hav loose skin where my triple chin was, but that seems to have gone now thank goodness. good luck x x x

Hiya, Vanilla shake with a spoonful of coffee in is much nicer thn cappucino one. Also put coffee in choc shake and make cocca mocha which is nice hot or cold. Fruits of forest is nice too. Fave soup is tomato, but you have to make it properly. I add a bit of coldand blend with hand blender...

Just had half of each bar for tea, toffee won for me too, but only just! yum yum x xThanks for responding x

Hi guys, Another 2lb off for me, thats 17 in total and 3 to go to target, so not gonna manage that by sun. Great challenge though. Thanks x x

Just interested to see which you prefer? x:Dx

Yum!!! Choc mocha mousse is my fave! Gonna have to buy some nutmeg and coconut essence now.Thanks for tips, was just starting to get bored with th flavours and still have a stone to go yet.x great thread !

Woo hoo Chelsea Lou! Sexy Easter chick! xxx

Not going to have choc, apart from a yummy choc shake! but will be eating chicken and vedge at family meal, no potatoes though.

The leek and pot is the worst one in my opinion. Love the chick an mush and tomato though. You need to make the tomato carefully to make it nice though, mix to a paste with a little cold and then leave for a minute or two, then add the hot and blend extra well, this makes it creamy, not gritty...

Hi Melissa, Only a measly pound off for me this week, boo hoo. 15 pound loss 5 lb to go. target 20lb thanks x x katy x x

Thanks Melissa, great to have you back x x x x

Oh, and lots of toilet paper. I also get through gallons of sparkling water, about 13p for 2 litres if you buy supermarkets own brand. lovely with cd berry water flavour in it. Good luck with first week, it gets soooo much easier after that so dont despair if you find it hard . x x

Strong willpower for your first week!! oh, and def a hand blender. x x x

I am on ss but have between 1 to 2 extra shakes a week if I am struggling and also have skimmed milk in my morning cup of coffee to keep me sane! It doesnt seem to have made any difference to my loss. x

Its such a fab feeling! Thank goodness for ebay and charity shops! Cant wait til target an real shopping though!!!

I do that most days, it makes a bigger bowlful!

Hi All, Lost nothing this week, but have been on hol, so was dancing around my bedroom whooping like a maniac when I weighed myself this morning! Back to sole source today,am blinking starving! But know that ketosis is only a day or two away, thank goodness! so fingers crossed for next week...

Hi all, Only one off for me but am on hols, so ok with that x

Good luck. This is a great web site to keep you motivated .x

poor you, what a situation! If you think you are going to be on this for months, I would def find a new cdc x

Thats great news! Well done!

I have put mine away in a hard to get to place! Was getting obsessed.

Remember your challenge! The less you cheat , the sooner you eat!

I got confuzzed by that one too! x

I know somene your age doing it too. x x

Since doing this diet, my nails have become stong and lovely. Has anyone else noticed this happening?

I try and think of evey wee as liquid fat coming away, makes it alot less annoying! Sorry if ive grossed you out x x

Love all the bars, Cranberry nice if you havent had time to make shake for breaky. All the other flavours I put in the freezer for about 45 mins before I eat them, makes them more chewy and last longer! I had issues with the choc ones in the first couple of times of trying. Quite a common...

Almost bedtime and have been angelic! Steered clear of the cheese and ham ! x x

Hi, I only lost 2 this week as well and was dissapointed too. Apparently it goes like that sometimes. Think we should look at the whole picture and cross fingers for a biggy next week. x P.S I just went and triedmy fat jeans on, the ones that fitted 6 weeks ago, much more motivated now, they...

should read 'find you are not hungry'

First week is the hardest, drink, drink and drink more! It takes a week or two to get out of the habit of shoving food into your mouth.( I didnt realise how much of a snack habit I had until started this!) All of a sudden you will find you re You are on the loo loads because you are going into...

I use loads of water flavour and was worried about this so asked my cdc, she said that all the time i have good losses carry on as i am, but if my losses slow down we may have to adjust it. I am sure i would not drink so much water if i couldnt put flavour in it. Hope this helps x

Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels!

Wooo hoooo to Emmie! I cant wait until thats me. Well done, you must feel great. I only lost 2 this week (totm) , my own fault, I nibbled cheese and ham, naughty, but lost all will power.

Thanks miss jelly, you are a star x x

Hi Melissa, Not so good this week(TOTM) 2lb off making 8lb in total towards my target of 20lb before easter, so 12lb to go . Thanks P.s well done to Diddums and Katy cakes amazing and well done the rest of you too x x

:cry:I have been sole sourcing fo nearly six weeks. Its my TOTM and today my willpower crashed! I ate 3 slices of thin ham with grated chedder inside, and then a chunk of chedder. I am sooo cross with myself! Will I have come out of Ketosis now? I cant believe I did it.:cry::cry::cry:

I was inspired by yummy mummy pics too! Amazing. Lets hope she answers x

Thats so funny Chelsea Lou, in my 2nd week I went through the Next cat as well and ringed all the lovely clothes I want when Im skinny! I now spent tme on here or ebay buying clothes in smaller sizes.

Well done guys, such a great feeling isnt it! Cleared out my wardrobe today of all maternity wear(baby is now 9 months after all!) and size 16's as I dont intend wearing either ever again and gave the lot away. Such a good feeling, just hope I havent tempted fate with the mat clothes! Shall have...

Drink lots and lots makes you feel better in first week. Its just your body getting used to diet, I did too, but now I never get hungry, almost forgot to eat lunch the other day!. i eat at 10, 2 qnd 6.30. When i wake up I have a pint of flavoured water and a black coffe which seems to keep me...

You go girl!! x

Hi Jambro, Welcome to this fab site. This diet is amazing, although i found the first week hard and still have the occasional moment of wanting to stuff my face, I have ss 100% for 5 weeks and lost 1 1/2 stone! Never acheived that on any other of the many diets i have tried! You can see it...

I love the berry, really nice hot as well. I buy value sparkling water from tesco 13p for 2 ltr, i also make both into jelly with mix a mousse to make myself think ive eaten an extra meal. x

Just had choc mousse, which id poured a shot of strong coffee in before mixing, that was yum!

Hi, I have psyllium husks in boullion once a day like an extra meal and keeps me regular! Hope this helps x P.s OINKSTOP, love your blog x

I def think sense of taste changing, as in first week some of soups n shakes had a funny aftertaste but now they are scrummy! x

You may have stayed the same for many reasons, ie totm makes me not lose so much. If you choose to stay on it you will def start losing weight again as it is so low cal. Hope this helps. I am not a cdc so this is only my opinion x

I also do a bit of mix and match ie ..half chick and mushroom and half thai chilli, or tomato and veg, or choc and banana etc, when im feeling bored.

Vanilla with shot of cold coffee in it, served ice cold! yum! nicer than cappuccino. also chicken and mushroom and tomato soups. Love the bars, cranberry prob my fave or poss cho orange! Had choc mint as a mousse today, that was scrummy ! Thanks for coffee in banana tip x

I Love all the shakes and like most the soups as well, except cheese and broc and leek and pot.! Yuk! Thanks for tip, straws on shopping list! x

Well done!! 7 lb!!!!xxxx

I think you need to wait until its a bit closer and see how you feel. When I started I planned to have a week off in two weeks time from now, but the closer that time gets, the less I want to veer away from this diet, so will be packing shakes and bars to take with me for breaky and lunch...

Only ever have choc tetra hot topped with water. Hot doesnt seem to fill me up as much as cold. Made a mistake the other day and poured sparkling water into vanilla shake instead of still, very strange but not un drinkable! x x Drink water flavour ho lots though x

Hi Melissa, Another 3lb off this week. Thats 6 gone towards my target of 20lb before Easter x x Ta x x

Hi, just been weighed. Hope I am able to join. Have been sole sourcing for 5 weeks now. Lost this week 3lb Total so far 21lb Lost this month 13lb thanks x x

YES!! On others I used to managed to cheat all the time and then manage to convince myself I hadnt cheated, then be dissapointed come weigh in day. With this I dont cheat at all because there is no way to get awzay with it, and the pounds are falling off. !! Yee ha x x

Keep it up, you nd your daughter are doing brill! The first week and a half are the hardest. I was counting the hours until next pack and really grumpy, especially if I got interupted whilst eating my soup or shake which was almost a sacred time for me back then. The otherday I nearly forgot to...

Hi, Please can I join you too. I am a techno phobe so rubbish on computer, hence no ticker. Ihave been 100% sole souring for five weeks tomorrow when I get weighed. So far I have lost 18 pounds. Do I just write to you after my weigh in tomorrow on this thread to get included? Thanks Well done...

hi Melissa, Got weighed today, another 3 lb off ! Is this the way I do this, jut tell you? x

I was feeling really fed up today, especially after watching my family gobble up my favourite dinner, whilst I spooned in my soup sip by sip, then i decided to take a glance at the slide show. Fanblinkintastic!! What amazing pics! I have lost just over a stone already and it has made me realise...

Mouth does seem to get less foul tasting after first week! unless i have just got used to being smelly, and friends too polite to say anything Yikes! x I use a spray, by the way. x

Hi, How do you go about joining a team?

Yippee for you! You look fantastic! Well done and thanks for inspiring me x

I was wondering this too! Maybe its the keytnes ad scrummy yellow liquid fat pouring out of us! Lets hope! x
