Day 4 !! Not feeling too bad!! Yet another busy morning which is fab !! I find that if I keep busy I don't think about food so much!! I think the sunshine helps too... I think I get that SAD when weather horrible then all I can do is vegetate on the sofa and eat... Please stay sunshine !!! :0)

Made it through day 3... Don't feel too bad!! Was shopping earlier as having a BBQ for my sons birthday and just wondering how I'm going to stay on track whilst friends and family here drinking wine and eating !! Hmmm... Will have to cross that bridge on Saturday!!! Really hope I stay 100%...

Hi!! I'm restarting for the millionth time today and I have asked my husband to hide the scales... They really demotivated me last time if I didn't have a huge loss ... So I would rather stick to how my clothes feel this time.. Good luck to u :0) x

Thank u !! :0)

Was doing so well .... Then a little bit of stress turned me to food !!! OMG !! What is my problem ? Back to it again in the morning.... If only I could get 1 day under my belt!!... It's so frustrating !!!:0(

Hi, havnt been on here for a couple of weeks, I am struggling at the moment, I think I may be self-sabotaging !!! Don't know why ands it really beginning to get me down !! I was so motivated and really sticking to the plan 100% I did have the odd meal out, but managed to get on the plan the next...

Hi, I second what Ru2thy says, when ever I feel like giving in I have a nice pamper style bath and paint nails etc to take my mind of it, then get an early night, u always wake up feeling very proud that u didn't give in :0) stay strong :0) x

Hi again, I'd like to also get down to 10.7 that will be a loss of 3 stone..... Got a stone and a pound to go, hope I can stick with it x

Hi Ru2thy, Glad it's not just me, that's why this forum is so brill, as otherwise it's quite a lonely diet. Thanks for the welcome, I'm trying to stay positive and thinking of how I felt 7 weeks ago, very miserable and huge ! Still feel large but so much happier now, anyway bye for now :0)

Ah thanks kiwili ! Day 4 is good, should get a bit easier, but weekends always harder... I found the first 10 days the most difficult, I think it's making sure u get out of the habit of picking. good luck for your 1st wi ! Keep positive, that's what I'm trying to do :0) x

Hi, can I join your team please.... Think it will really help, I'm on week 7 and I'm beginning to struggle a bit for some reason, don't know why ? Still sticking to sole source 100%, does anybody else struggle at all after a few weeks ? I find weekends really difficult :0) lizzie x

Hi timsmom, you are doing fantastically well, despite your holiday blip, I imagine your body is catching up from then... Keep with it, next week should be a great loss :0) x

Weigh in number 5, another 4lb !! Yippee, so happy, that's now 25lb in 5 weeks ! Woo hoo ! Here's to week 6 xx

I've been doing SS for 5 weeks now, definitely stick with it, I'm so chuffed with my results so far !!

I'm from a little place near the Cotswolds :0) country girl !! X

Wow, that's brill ! Huge congrats :0)

This is my 4th week and I have lost 4lb this week ! I've now lost 21lb in 4 weeks ! This diet is so brilliant, I've not been this weight for ever ! Hope you are all doing well :0) x

Week 3 and another 4 lb down ! Yippee !! Didn't have a great week as ill with tonsilitus, felt very sorry for myself, but for the first time in my life I didn't turn to food to make my self feel better, I stuck to SS 100% ! I'm so pleased I did :0) woo hoo ! Here is to another 100% week !! X

Week 2, lost 4lb !! Woo hoo ! That's 13lb in 2 weeks, I'm amazed, hope all is good with everyone :0) xx

Hi all, hope you are all having a good week, it's my sisters birthday today and we are all going out for a meal, normally I would be really looking forward to all the food and drink I'm going to consume but obviously this is my 2nd week of SS and I don't want to ruin it. What can I eat that...

That was supposed to say chuffed, stupid predictive texting :0)

First week over and I lost 9 lb !!! Never lost that much weight in 3 weeks let alone 1 ! So chugged :0) xx

Oh keep with it, it will be worth it, everyone is different, it takes some people 2 days and others 5 or 6 to get into ketosis, maybe ur not quite there yet. Are u drinking plenty of water ? I find coke zero helps, I don't drink much, but when I'm struggling I have a couple of sips and it does...

Hi, day 3 was the worst day for me in terms of hunger, I promise it does get better, hopefully tomorrow u will suddenly start feeling better and u will have much more energy. Keep going, I'm sure it will be worth it :0)

Thank u all... Great encouragment from everyone.... Just had my third shake so feeling a bit better now :0) hope u all do really well, I will let you know how Thursday goes, fingers crossed xx

Hi, I'm on SS but for some reason I'm struggling today, do u think If I add milk to my tea it would affect my ketosis ? I just think a nice cuppa with milk might help.. ???

Thank u all, I love this site, finding it so helpful !! On day 5 now and feeling much more energetic, got first weigh in Thursday morning, can't wait !! :0) xx

Good luck to you too :0) x
