    hair loss

    I did lose alot of hair while on SS, it started around week 14/15 and has only now stopped coming out as bad, 3 months since i reached goal. I didn't have any bald patches just general thinning, but my hair had never recovered post pregnancy and with this on top it's not too hot at the moment...

    Whats your height and goal ?

    I'm just under 6ft, my goal was 13 stone, i'm 12stone 12lb at the moment :) I might in the future lose a bit more but wouldn't want to be less than 12 stone as i tend to look very drawn in the face at less than that.

    Welcome to minimins Loopy (are you also that name on another site?) If you wanting to do SS then yes i think your doc needs to be informed, but not if your doing SS+? Could be wrong though, it's all changed since i started, lol :D

    AAMW

    It's up to you really but i did AAM every 5 weeks as per the rules when i started and it didn't slow my losses down at all. In fact some of my AAM weeks i lost more than when on SS. Didn't have any trouble getting back on to SS, the amount you have is pretty tiny anyway so i didn't find it too...

Never did i imagine in...

    Some questions: frothy soup, sparkling water & knowing you're in ketosis

    Soup, i use a balloon whisk, no nasty froth and it's quick and easy. Sparkling water is fine. I knew i was in Ketosis as the hunger had gone and i had a funny taste in my mouth :)

    Goodbye Sole Source...and thank you :-)

    I felt the same when i moved up too, it's strange after being on SS for a while but i'm loving 790. I thought the portions seemed massive at first too but have to say after almost 2 weeks on it i'm used to them now. Well done on your fantastic loss so far and hope you enjoy moving up the plans :D

    Drinking water

    I do find it easier to drink mon-fri than weekends as we usually have alot more going on then and are out and about more. That said i still do try and get at least 4ltrs down me on a weekend, but through the week can manage up to 6ltrs some days.

  92. A

    possible weekly weight loss????

    Don't be down, not everyone is the same. I didn't lose less than 4lb a week until week 18 so there's really no way of telling. Some weeks you may only lose 2/3 but then have a bigger loss the week after, as long as it is coming off, that's the main thing. Good luck :D

    You can do it Minty, you haven't failed at all. The shakes do taste strange at first, and to be honest i don't have them now as after 2 weeks i still couldn't stomach them so i live off choc tetras, bars and veg soup!! What other flavours have you got to try, i know you say you couldn't stomach...

    Well mine went haywire, and i bled pretty much non stop for the first 14/15 weeks, i actually had to get some tablets from the doctors to stop me bleeding. they seemed to do the trick though as my cycle has been normal since. It should settle down, my cdc said most people who have TOTM problems...

    Is this normal? LOL

    I was just the same when i started, thought i would be the one that it didn't work for and was so nervous about going for my weigh ins. After a few weeks though i think you find it easier to relax when you see the lbs falling off!! Good luck for tomorrow, i'm sure you will of done fab :D

    AAMW problems

    What did you have to eat Colleen? Was it actually swallowing it that you had a problem with? For my first few AAM, i kept it quite simple and had chicken and brocolli but mixed it in with my soup to make it a chunky type one. Not sure if that would make it easier for you :)

  137. A

    How much????

    My first 7 weeks i lost 48lb, so just short of 3.5 stones but that's with week 1+2 which were big losses. It wouldn't be as much as that on an average 7 weeks :)
  138. A

    CDC help needed!

    Hi Colleen, not a cdc so can't help but have you asked your own cdc about it? She should be able to tell you if it's ok or not. Hope you get something sorted, i know how awful constipation can be and that's without having ibs.

    how often

    I've not had anything apart from my AAM weeks and i did AAM Christmas day and Boxing day, i've been on SS for 29 weeks. That's not to say i've never thought oh i could just eat(whatever was tempting me at the time) but i made the commitment to myself that i would do this without cheating and as...

    When can you have the bars?

    It's from week 3. MY cdc did actually let me take a couple in the 2nd week as i was struggling a bit with not liking the shakes :)
  160. A

    Tetra Bricks..........

    I think you can have 4 a day, it's only the bars that are limited as far as i know. Have you tried the bars yet? I don't have any shakes at all, really can't stomach them, so since week 2 all i've had is veg soup, choc tetras and a few of the bars. The choc tetras are lovely split in half and...

    Goodbye SS

    Thanks all :)

    Ups and Downs

    I think Russiandoll has hit the nail on the head, but as she says it does pass. I found day 9/10 really hard but by the time my second week was over i felt ok again. Stick with it, your doing really well, 11lb is a great loss :)

    That's good to know Georgie as i'm thinking of going to see my sister in Lanzarote in a few weeks. Was wondering how i would manage without my tetras!!! :eek:
  166. A

    Goodbye SS

    I'm sure i'll be a bit like this at first too when i move to 790 and probably as i move up the other steps too. It's coming out of something that you know works for you and venturing into the unknown isn't it? I'm sure you will have lost, lots of people on here have fantastic losses on 790. Good...
  167. A

    Goodbye SS

    Thanks everyone for your support, your all lovely :) Is it sad that the thing i'm most looking forward to having on 790 is a cup of tea- WITH MILK :rotflmao: (I really do need to get out more, lol)
  168. A

    Reflections as I near goal.....

    Congratulations and well done Georgie on reaching your goal!! :party0019: What a fantastic and heartfelt post, your a brilliant inspiration to me and no doubt countless others on here. You will do great with maintenance, i'm sure of that :)

    Hiya, sounds like you enjoyed yourself over Christmas. I'm sure those few extra pounds will be gone in no time :D
  170. A

    Goodbye SS

    Wow, can hardly believe the time has come to finish SS, seems like only yesterday i was starting. Have decided that as it's my AAM week starting tonight then it makes sense just to carry on after this week instead of going back down to SS. I'm going to do 3 weeks AAM before moving up to 790...

    How Do You Manage Your Water Intake ??..

    I usually aim for a pint an hour, if i start early enough in the day i get 5l down me and can usually stop around 8ish and just have a little drink after that so i'm not at the toilet all night. Yesterday was a good day for me, managed 6l :eek:
  183. A

    last sachet of the day

    Yes stuck to SS and have done AAM every 5th week, the pink weights in my sig are for AAM :)

    I'm on 4 a day and usually have mine, 2/3pm, 7pm, 9pm, 10.30pm May seem strange to some but evenings were always my worst time for food cravings and so this is how i started out doing it and have just carried on from there. :)

  192. A

    How long did it take you to lose your weight?

    They say a stone a month, usually a little bit more in your first month so i would think you could easily have 5 stone of by your hols :D I've lost just over 10 stone in 28 weeks :)
  193. A

    newbie ,end week 1,,weigh in results

    Well done, 12lb in less than a week is fantastic!!! I love the choc tetras too, i usually split mine and top it up in a cup with some hot water, makes lovely hot choc( (dont put too much water in though or it will taste bland) Warms you up lovely when it's cold :D
  194. A

    Woman Trouble

    Water and loss ?

    Sounds like you've got the water thing sussed :D I'm not sure with Ketosis to be honest, I know that those who cut out carbs in preperation would probably get into it quicker but i didn't bother and was in it by day 3

  204. A

    Water and loss ?

    They say it's usually better to sip it over a period of time rather than all in one go, what i do is fill a pint glass every hour-ish and then that's my drink for that hour, repeat throughout day lol. I don't tend to drink much after 8pm or i'd be weeing all night :D

    I know just what you mean. Having so much to lose i knew when i started that i would be on it for at least 10 months(it's worked out a little bit quicker:D) The first night i sat and thought about not eating for that length of time and it totally freaked me out, i just didn't think i could go...

    On day 11 and .....

    That's brilliant, well done. It's lovely when your clothes start getting looser, it really spurs you on i think. The only down side of getting slimmer is the bank balance!! (or is it just me who is addicted to buying clothes:rotflmao:)
