I started off on SS+ and lost 7.5 the first week and 3lbs this week. I have a hot or cold shake in the morning a soup at lunchtime, fish or meat plus veg or salad at teatime and a hot choc or cappuchino in the evening. When I tried it before I gave up after 2 weeks as I missed food too much but...

Good luck for your first week, I just lost 7.5lbs doing the SS+ and that might suit you too as you can sit and have your evening meal with the family, it has certainly helped me. Its 3 shakes and one small meal a day, I have got 5 stone to lose and I won't stick to it if I get hungry as I have...

I have been on SS+ for my first week and lost 7.5lbs.:D:D I can stick to this as I don't feel deprived! :party0011::party0011:

My CD is very helpful, a very nice person and welcoming. I would not feel like going back if she was making me feel uncomfortable. I found her by looking on the Cambridge site under 'find a councellor' If you are anywhere near Wolverhampton, look for Augustine T. she's great!:D:D

I will get some today, thanks :D:D:D

I have been told by someone using SS that she uses Marigold instead of the savory drink as it is the same but much cheaper, any thoughts? :eat::eat:

Hi Steve, I have tried to download your spreadsheet it sound great, but when I click on it it says adobe reader cannot open the file,I must be a bit thick as everyone else seems thrilled with it! HELP xx

I have tried a low carb diet previously, and had a hard time losing when I restarted after a break. I re start CD on Wednesday, so will I lose as I did before or will it be slower, ( I only did it for 2 weeks but lost a stone):wave_cry:

Hi all, I am restarting on Wednesday, just made my appointment. I lost a stone in 2 weeks when I tried before,then had some bad hospital news which made me give up. All is well now and I know this is the only way for me as I have put most of the weight back on. Will I be able to take omega oil...

I lost 9lbs * 9lbs * 9lbs * 9lbs * 9lbs !!! Oh and I almost forgot ! I lost 9lbs!

Absolutley Brilliant!!:D I get weighed tonight I hope I do as well, great inspiration!

I only looked at the nutrient panel not the ingredient list :o HOWEVER! The coke zero contains sodium citrate, and this is what I found out about it, Citric acid is a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits. It is a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic (sour) taste to...

I bought a pack of diet coke zero, and a friend had got some diet coke which were on offer 2 for 1, I explained I couldn't have that, but when we checked the nutrition labels thay were the same! So I am out of pocket :confused: I think they have just repackaged so why can't we have it?

My start weight is 217lbs too, my first weigh in is tonight, I hope I do as well as you have, brilliant positive post!:D

My hair and skin are very dry at the moment, would I be able to take a fish oil supplement as I used to have one every day before cd,I have had dry skin for a few years and the supplements kept it at bay.

I have weighed myself again today and I think I have lost 6lbs. I have my official weigh in tomorrow so I hope for at least another one!:) My husband has just hidden my scales in the shed ( and I won't be going in there!) I have been on and off them constantly and must admit they don't always...

Hi Karen I am okay with the water I keep a 2 litre bottle with me and fill it up when empty and just keep sipping it really. I don't feel hungry today, I did for the 1st 3 days,I need to lose just under 5 stones. I just felt there must be somthing wrong when a lot of others are having such a...

I seem to be one of the lucky ones so far, I am in day 4 and have had no problems, I feel great, but does this mean I am not in ketosis yet? :sigh: Should I be having these withdrawal type symptoms before it starts to have an effect on my fat loss, I have lost 5lbs so far but this might just...

I ADORE red wine! when I went out I just had diet coke and surprised myself by still having a good time, no hangover, and I am still losing weight, you might surprise yourself, I kept thinking I'll have a red wine next, but after a bit I realised I was having just as good a nigth out, so didn't...

Hi Katie, I hope you are feeling better! I must be one of the lucky ones as it is day 4 for me too but I have had no upsets or symptoms whatsoever, perhaps you are having caffeine withdrawal or something. I was dreading day 3 as a lot of others said they felt so ill. The only thing I am doing...

My cdc works in the day but I have drunk a load of water so the craving has passed :o I'm losing weight already on day 4 and don't want to fall of the wagon, I'm sure I can wait till Monday! Thanks Linda x

Thanks Mike, I didn't think about the salt :wave_cry:

I am feeling desparate for a savoury drink, I have only got sweet shakes left adn am thinking of half a knorr cube which is .85 carbs, I will get the drink tub from cdc on monday but I really need the taste now:cry: What do you think?

I'll hope for the best then, I feel brilliant on day 4 and have loads of enery and lost weight already so I'll keep going!

I get mine from a local Asian/Indian supermarket. You can get a good size box for under £2 which lasts for ages, the ones on ebay are usually the capsules wich are really expensive, but the powder can just be added to anything. Linda xx

I have got the yellow book, is there anything in the Sole Source booklet that I need to know or is it more or less the same? I am on day 4 and feeling really good I have lost some weight and have had no problems at all, I feel more lively than I have for a long time and even did 4500 steps with...

I was looking at the lighter life board, and there is a thread about hair loss, they seem to be losing quite a bit !! One of the replies says' when you start eating healthily again it will grow back' :eek: :eek: :eek: Is this going to happen to me :cry: HELP!!

my counsellor said I can chew sugar free gum if desparate, but not for too long as it could start cravings, she advised me to get a sugar free breath freshener spray.

I got my Weightcare book on Monday when I signed up. My councellor said if there is anything I want she will get it and she only charges the recommended price for my shakes, sound like I've found a good one!

I will get some water flavours next time I see my cdc, I'm only on day 2, I will have to get some supplies in!! Thanks Linda xx

I did't think of Perrier or somthing like that, thanks a lot, Lindaxx :)

Now thats what I would like to look like !! FABULOUS:D

I am going to a pub later on and I don't think I could sit with a black coffee, would a diet coke/pepsi be okay? I am on day 2 and feel fine, I was quite hungry yesterday but today I have no worries about the time between my shakes and have no ill effects, so do you think this would be...

Thanks everyone! I want this to work SO bad, its great seeing all your successful weight losses but I think I am starving lol !

Hi, I have only started today but I already have a supply of psyllium husks from when I tried Atkins. I got a fair size box for under £2 at an Asian/Indian grocers, I'd better get another!

Thanks Ellie, I am just on day one and was a bit put off, I'll go and fill my jug! :D

On another CD forum someone advised that drinking too much water over the 4pts allowed would stop weight loss, I am very thirsty and would be able to get a lot more down than that! I don't want to feel hungry AND thirsty :cry: , any body got any other comments on this, Thanks xx

2 stones is fantastic !! You must feel gorgeous !! I hope I do as well as you have, fingers crossed ;)

Hi Everyone, I am seeing a councellor tonight for the first time. I have been dieting for over 30 years and still fat :cry: ! I have thought about Cambridge a few times over the years but have always been put off by scare stories in the diet magazines etc. I have to lose 5 stones so I was so...
