Wow fantastic topic Wow fantastic topic I think we are all here for one reason, that we all love food a little to much, now with this diet we are literally starving ourselves to get the results we crave. Now when i started this diet 2 years ago i was 22stone, and after 16weeks of ss i got...

I lost 8 stone originally but put a 2 stone on over the last 2 years by poor eating!! Just remember for all the excerciser's out there, calm it down !! As you may feel great for the first week but due to lack of calories you will suffer burn out!! I would say tone rather than excercise...

i lost 8 stone originally, didnt keep to the programme and have now put on 2 1/2 stone, my own fault, diet went back to before CD, so i am now back on SS to get back to my happy weight. What i have noticed is that you must allow a stone to come back on for glycogen, water etc. I would get to...

Hi Depending on what level you are doing, with SS or SS+ it is recommended not to exercise, as mainly due to the low calorie intake and you are sort of "fighting" what you are trying to achieve, i.e people (including myself may i add) stick to this diet because of the results, however when you...

mint bars = heavenly they are the highlight of my day (sad isnt it!!)

Hi on the lower steps ideally you should avoid anything that is above normal in simple terms, you have enough energy to function but not to do anymore, I believe you can start light exercise on the 810 plan upwards

Hi, firstly im not going to pretend im an expert (because im not) but what you need to remember your are tricking your body into a "natural State". I originally lost 7 stone last year, and been on and off ever since, as when i get to my weight "limit" I dieted again, max ive put on is a stone. I...

Hi good luck in your journey, best advice is make sure you listen to your counsellor!! and make sure you follow the step by step maintenance guides, thats where i messed up the first time, if you follow the steps, it will bring back up you metabolism!! It works, you will feel so motivated in 2...

Hi all Hope all is well, i remember when i first did this diet i started a thread, why is there so many restarters. As i thought once i get to my target weight i "would never go back". I originally lost 7 stone, by january this year. As you could imagine i was delighted, got to 14.5 stone...

Wow, might be a male thing, I originally lost 7 stone, got down to 14 and a half, then because of a quick come of no maintenance and a diet which was worse than when i started i put on a stone and a half in 6 months ( as you can see all my fault!!) Back on CD got back to around 15 and a half...

Hi all Been away for a while, but I have decided to go for that last stone and a half, went totally of the rails for a bit and became addicted to jelly babies?? Anyhow, after a month long binge I put on 2 pounds, so I feel quite fortunate about that, which has spurred me on to know I can...

The problem I have is I'm having a small meal a day plus 3 cd supplements, and since I have come of ss I'm putting on weight?? Can anyone explain this ?

Thats it!!! Enough is enough, I am coming of sole source. I got to my original target weight and have decided to make a new target, but i just cant be bothered, been the gym last 3 nights, and i am dead!! No energy or nowt!!!! Trying my best to tone/get fit with this 7 stone lighter frame, but i...

hi BigH, hope all is well, stuck to SS 100% since the 23rd September and i have lost just over 6 1/2 stone!!! Check out my pics in the pics thread!!!! Good Luck

great pics well done, i have my pics on the fridge, works a treat :)

great stuff well done, day 5 was the hardest for me, hopefully now ketosis has kicked in properly it will be a doddle, good luck

Thats interesting, me personally have become addicted to the scales, and any sign of increase, thats it devastated!!! :rolleyes: My Long term plan was to go on slimming world for maintenance as if im left to my own devices who knows where i will end up again :)

its amazing what a friend movicol has become, i suppose there is a downside to this diet after all :)

A lot of posts on here are from people restarting, after losing a lot of weight unfortunately coming back to the programme after gaining of different periods of time?? As this is my biggest fear, as i do not want to go back to my old self, why has the weight returned? Is it due to going...

ALso is that the P90x training programme your referring to??

good luck fella, its nice to see other guys on here, what i did was kept saying to myself 2 things!! 1. Whats 3 months out being unsociable to a lifetime of fun afterwards!! 2. Is this drink/meal work £50?? as thats how much it will be to get back into ketosis. Through that i stayed on...

good luck to you guys, stay with it, never known anything to work quite like this plan!!!

Body shape definately needs toning, very limited excercise, basically due to lack of energy from sole source, as i work between 10 and 12 hour days, sole source (for me anyway) didnt give me enough energy to do any serious training. However when i start sole source plus I intend to start uping...

Many thanks for all your comments, still trying to lose another 2 stone by valentines day so i will be eventually able to take my wife out for a meal, as I haven't took her anywhere nice for 3 months :) As for the clothes, it's costing me a fortune( however this is a nice problem) but I'm not...

The biggest loser is a brilliant show for inspiration, however i find i watch the first one to say look at the size of them, then the last one to say wow, look at them now

Did SS from end of september, and had to take a week off over xmas (12week break), I was 100%, currently on day 3 of my planned restart and its bloody hard!!! Found it much easier before i got the taste of food again, however like taking off a plaster - just do it and get on with it, its one of...

Cheers everyone, its nice that I'm not the only one, I do think it's a case of it takes the mind a bit longer to catch up, its just amazing that I truly don't notice, it's always frustrating aswell because people think it's attention seeking when you say I don't feel any different, as if I'm...

Hello all I'm new to the forum so go easy, I've have been doing soul source for 10 weeks now, and have lost almost 5 stone, which is truly amazing for me. The only thing for me is, though everyone I speak to notices my dramatic weight loss, when I look in a mirror I don't notice it, does...
