At last I got on the scales so two stone to loose:sigh: I'm having 4 shakes a day, two cups of tea with a teeny splash of Skimmed milk otherwise green tea/black coffe. Still taking dissolveable Vit C in the morning,which is Orange flavour, wondering if this will effect ketosis? Sometimes I feel...

The vanilla is great, you can always add a teaspoonful of coffee which has been disolved in hot water, or have chocolate hot.

I'm on day 4, was told no bars for two weks but the cartons were OK. I did SS+ a year ago and had porridge just for a different texture. After a week I just could not eat the porridge and moved to shakes. Chocolate is nice with hot water :)

Thank you everyone.. now going to have a fizzy drink!

I'm on day three of ss, only ever done ss+ beore and that was a year ago.. great to see more choice with the + Does antone know if sparkling water is allowed on SS?

My 1st day on SS, I only did SS+ in the past did lose 3 stone, at least 2 have gone back on:cry: Do I really need 4 a day? I thought 3 would be OK. 4 is going to be expensive especially as my lady is going away for 2 weeks.....

Hi I'm taking a slow approach, doing 1000 this week, 810 next see how that goes first. May need a couple of weeks on SS+ to shift the final bit but I'm hoping not! Good Luck Everyone

Well done.. you have made the decision which is the hardest step, I have found this site and the people inspirational. Good luck on your journey

Wow Greeneyes you have lost so much and are almost there. I've had one or two bad weekends but Mondays always bring me back into focus.. hang in there I'm sure we can all do it!

I have lost 3 stone and have 8lbs left to go. I have been on 1000 for 3 weeks now. Another 3lbs this week, not sure whether now is a good time to move to the next step, or should I stay on 100o until I reach my target and then move up? Has anyone else been in this position.. any advice...

Hey Peebles Not been here for a while... you are not alone and NOT a failure! I was doing OK weekdays while working but a couple of weekend social events saw me blow it! I did not believe you could put on 5lbs over a weekend.. I then hated myself, but Monday came around .. always a good day...

It's mine now!

Thanks Miss Pinky Glad to see you plan to visit Cornwall.. hope the sun shines for you

so who says when to stop?

I have had a bit of an uphill struggle the last couple of weeks. I seem to manage my 1000 spot on at work but the weekend have not been so good. Last weekend was 6yo grandson party time and I ended up eating rubbish! To make matters worse I went into 'well I've broken it so what mode'...

I had a week in Corfu and ate what I wanted. I had lost 3 stone and was on 1000 prior to going. I put on 12lbs and have started on 810 but am finding it hard. Told myself I would work backwards to SS+ next week. I'm back at work tomorrow so hope the routine will help me. My WI is Thursday so...

Hey Sparles .. what a nice dilemia.. I have moved from 20 to 18 and now 18s are huge and some 16s are getting big. It has cost a fortune! I have 1 more week to go... roll on Summer holidays although I have lots to do before I can finish. Well done on your loss... braces may work!!

Hi ... I have been away with work, still trying to keep to 1000. It is my WI tomorrow CDC has been away so it will be 2 weeks. I do not think I have lost very much.. my scales show me the same! I was surprised with the 7lbs on 1000 too. I seem to have a good loss one week and very little the...

I might try this it sounds good. Itried putting a choc tetra in the freezer when we had that hot spell, but it was difficult to eat, took ages and tasted strange!

Thanks for the support guys.Back on the bandwagon again!

I am soooo cross with myself, having been in control for weeks now we went on a team day at work which included a meal (paid for) I selected a (small)prawn salad which I thought was the healthiest option. It was HUGE, pasta, rice, beans coleslaw potatoe salad..... but very yummy. I ate it all...

Hi Greeneyes I love blueberries too and I have been having 50cal of fruit after my dinner. I have been mixing strawberries raspberries and blueberries. I looked the calories up bluberries are higher than the other two so I only have a few. Like you I don't want to blow it! I managed to...

Just had my WI and I have lost 7lbs this week on my 1000! I am so pleased (but I do think CDC scales are a little on the light side! All my weighing portions has worked

I like the mushroom one I don't find it powdery... don't like the others much. I use the bullion powder to add to my quorn - never thought of having it as a drink will have to try it now.

Hi Mandie Wow almost 5 stone was fantastic.. having done it once you know you can do it again and you have not got so much to loose this time. Even thought I don't post much I get inspiration from this site and lots od ideas. People are so supportive and have come so far.... It is also good to...

Can Do Could do Cool Dudes

I'm on 1000 for a while still being careful and weighing out stuff. There is much more variety and I love the fact you can have fruit! I have one of the breakfasts in the book, a bar or tetra for lunch to keep me out of the work canteen. Evenings fish, cottage cheese, or quorn with veg and...

Who says stop?

Hi Sunshine Singer I'm on my version of 1000, I can not manage two cans of tuna either, or the full amount of cottage cheese! It is so good being able to eat fruit agan! I am carefully weighing out my breakfast options, can't beleive how much cereal I used to have even if it was the 'healthy...

Hi I have the same problem, can someone tell me what Palmers is?

Although not an egg matter, I often wondered whu you can't have prawns? A salad with king prawns.. now there's a thought

I'm moving to 810 as I want to start exercising again.... I'll see how it goes I may be back yet!

Had my WI tonight 7 days of SS+ and I have lost 7lbs.

I love food programmes Great British Menu even Come Dine With Me... I was looking forward to Masterchef tonight and our TV BBC 1 & BBC2 have gone... dissapeared ..so the OH is just having to watch the football... which is why I'm online! I think there may have been some foulplay!

who decides when we stop?

Hi Eternalflame Hope the sun shines for you.... it's bound to be hotter than it is hear! I have read a couple of people using mushrooms, I thought they did not appear until you were on 810?

Not being a meat eater I find it a bit boring but SS+ works for me. Weigh in Thursday so we will see, cottage cheese with salad, white fish and asparagus, tuna (with fat free low cal dressing) cauliflower & broccoli. I did try tofu but without a sauce of some kind tasteless. The same goes for...

My CDC measured me and said I had lost 6 inches, she did it twice to make sure. Went shopping for a new bra was a 40D now seem to be a 38D, not sure how that equals 6 inches unless it came off my back!

I was on SS+ 4 weeks and knew I was going away, did a week of 810 and a week of 1000 then went away. I did not over eat but we ate out most nights with the occasional glass of wine. I even had an ice cream! I could not believe I only put on 2lbs. I am now SS+ for a couple of weeks before going...

Hi I re-started today doing SS+ Trying v hard to tell myself I'm not hungry

My CDC says Senokot is ok (and cheaper)

unforgiving

yours sincerely

The apple and cinnamon is a tad better than the original but sooooo sweet.

I'm not sure if I have wobbly fat but I have got wrinkly skin! My bingo wings seem worse than ever. I am exercising again and hope they tone up, upper legs the same!! could do with a nip & tuck?

Hi Jabba I have been away for a week and am pleased I only put on 2lbs. Back on 810 again....seen my CDC tonight. I have not always had a response to threads but I am inspired by how much everyone seems to be loosing!! I don't get online until after work in the evenings so will try and keep up...

I have been on 1000 all week religiously weighing and measuring. I have increased my exercise programme and can not understand why for the 1st time I have not lost??:cry:

Help I'm going on a work residential tomorrow ans staying at a posh hotel for 2 days. I'm being very careful on my 1000, weighing everything and playing by the book. I will take TB with me and can only hope they have fish or salad on the evening menu! How I am going to resist the lunches I...

I have moved from 810 to 1000 ready for going away in 2 weeks. When I was on 810 I had a chocolate shake as a hot chocolate in the evening most of the time. When I knew I had to work late and would not eat until later I had a bar at 5ish to keep me going. Not eating meat I did struggle with...

I used to have porridge every day before CD so thought great... the CD porridge is soooo sweet, the only good thing was it was not liquid and a small amount which was soon gone. I like the chocolate shake made with hot water to make a hot chocolate!

That answers my question to. How do you know how many posts you have... I tried everything to add some more info to my signature!

Hi Triple Trouble This is very useful, I am on day 3 of 1000. I found 810 ok but seem to struggle with 1000. I don't eat meat but do eat fish, however tuna should be eaten no more than twice a week and there is a limit to how much fish I can eat. I did put cottage cheese on both mushrooms and...

Hi all 810s I'm on day 5 and hoping I am still loosing. I have found some fantastic ideas for meals looking at this site. Tonight I put some of my cottage cheese on mushroom - under thr grill. I would never have thought of that... it tasted great. I also tried the celeriac chips yesterday...

My CDC was not sure about the sausages. I don't eat meat but do eat fish, I was finding 810 very repeatative, but have to say there are some good ideas on here. I have been sticking to the 810 guidelines, I like the sound of Anaya's cottage pie can we mix two items from the protein list like...

Why don't you go for a soup option and put it in a bowl (I always have mine in a mug) eat with a spoon at least it would look like you are participating in a more conventional meal?

Hi Cooky I know what you mean I've become addicted to cookery programmes on TV which is especially strange as I am so limited to what I can eat on SS+. Just planning for the target weight day!

Lost 4lbs this week That makes 16lbs in under 4 weeks. I just need to keep going a little longer. Feeling very tired today and a little light headed.... very busy at work. I think I will dring some more water.... just for a chanmge!

Thanks for the advice, I'm hungry today but and going stick to it... can't wait to see what I loose at tomorrows weigh in. There are some remarkable strong willed people on here, all of whom are inspirational!
