Feeling back on top of things this morning. I've even cleaned the living room windows and blitzed a bit more of my kitchen already this morning

Crashed and burned. Did not scoff toast, biscuits or cereal though -all of which were available - looked at the list of SS+ foods, went to the shop and bought chicken breast and green veg and cooked it healthily so hopefully have not done too much damage. Its amazing how quickly you go from...

Its my dad's 81st birthday tomorrow & my sister is coming over to the Isle of Man (where we live) for the day and my mum's making a buffet lunch. When i spoke to my CDC about it she said it would be fine to have a lttle chicken and salad and shouldn't knock me out of ketosis. My problem is...

Finding it a bit of a struggle today. Its a week til my next weigh in and although i lost loads there's sn impossible amount more to shift. I do find that I'm seriously sleepy around 3pm which is not good for the clients at work! is anyone else affected by tiredness? This is the first day i...

Quite early 6.30. TPBM hates washing up

Girls you're making me wish i had some sachets to play with but i only got tetras for the week. I did make some jelly tonight but it could have done with a bit less mix o mousse I've found if i freeze the tetras and take the out to thaw at room temperature after 4 hours they are the...

Hi hanninhuds and welcome. We're quite a chatty group and if you have loads to lose welcome on board.

Up town

Well done leyla, that's brilliant.

First weigj in just lost 9 lbs in 5.5 days. Woohoo!!!' I've just bought some of the summer berry drink mix and its really nice

Hey littletolose I found that i really didn't like any of the soups, shakes or porridge so i'm sticking to tetras which are actually quite nice. I've just got back from my first weigh in and in 5.5 days have lost 9 lbs. A really good start. Also I've bought some summer berry drink mix which...

Lyric from the

Wow that's a tough one.

I love writing lists whereas I don't love cleaning etc. so i like the daily list idea - puts pff the evil minute when i should start my chores! Off to writey list then......

Good idea. My kitchen looks worse than when i started - I've been emptying the cupboards of all the out of date stuff - we've been dicing with death -but i haven't quitr got as far as putting the good stuff away again. Ah well there's always tomorrow (or the next day).

One of the first benefits is that I'm no longer going through packets of rennies, bottles of other indigestion remedies. Also i don't feel uncomfortably full all the time. With my hernia it should have acted like a gastric balloon / band but not me - i ate right through the discomfort to more...

Post your weight loss on here tomorrow and i will as well. Good luck

Thank goodness i didn't but TPBM likes backgammon

Its when part of you colon has a hole in it and some of the rest pushes through. Rather like having a hole in your tights and pulling some of the tights through it. Disgusting eh?

My daughter is off to uni in september and is completely ribbish in the kitchen so I'm having to teach her to cook (she just wouldn't learn before) so tonight i showed her how to cook an omelette - smelled so good.

No surgery on my hernia (honestly its like having a football in my tummy) and ony knees which are both knacketed

Red setter

My BH is diabetic so he should eat really healthily but in practice he still eays rubbish just not so much of it. I also have two girls 17 & 18 who eat loads of junk but they now have to buy and cook for themselves!

Is your boyfriend trying to lose weight as well or is he just being supportive?

I've started the major clean up but it really is a long term job! I just need to make myself do a bit more each day - I van use the time when i would have beem eating -soooo much time LOL

Hi redhead you did so well last time you know that you can do it again. I seem to have been dieting or gorging all my life - i just don't have a switch off button. Also i have never lost more than a couple of stone in all that time and have consistently put on more and more weight. I use all...

WOW That'brilliant you must be so chuffed. I cuurently weigh 21 st and want to get down to about 13 or 14. To be honest - 17 would be a real achievement but wouldn't qualify me for surgery. I hope that i can be as focussed as you obviously are. Well done.

How much have you lost so far leyla

I checked this morning and i am in ketosis wahay. Getting weighed tomorrow although it is only day 6 so be interesting to see the results. Good luck everyone this week. Banana tetras are nice - not sure about the powder shakes.

Hi pinkprincess welcome to the group - the more the merrier as long as you have a signifcant amount of weight to lose. What age are you? - we'Re all ages.

Hey leyla you should ne proud of yourself for dealing with it now instead of wasting your whole life being overweight. I have a 3legged border collie who is 8.5 and his niece who is 1 and out of control - but i love her to bits. Unfortunately because my knees are arthrtitic they don't get out...

Thanks clarabow that's fantastic. I've just signed up to her website. (ANYTHING TO PIT OFF STARTING TO CLEAN) oops - looks like I'm not such a new woman after all!

I struggle t reach them at thr moment - my belly gets in the way and i look like a fat contortionist. Maybe that should be one of my goals! TOBM likes singing opera in the shower

Can't nelieve I've joined a housework club. My mother would be so proud!

Morning Melarnz- welcome to the group and good luck with the diet. We can all do this and get thinner.

I've just completed day4 of SS 100% and figure if i can do it then anyone can. Its not too bad as long as you get in the mindset that every day you stick with the shakes is melting the fat off your body and the real you will emerge sooner rather than later. And if you put it off it will all...

I've startind cleaning and tidying too - the bathroom has been the first room and its made an enormous difference. I'm aimimg to do a room every few days as well as organise my work better. It would be wonderful to feel in control of my life generally not just my food. Thanks for the inspiration.

Love camping. Tpbm loves collies

You're so good cooking for your daughter. I've told my husband and daughters that they have to shop and fend for themselves. They haven't mastered the washing up though. How old is your daughter and is it just you and her or do you have a partner to look after as well? I'm off to bed...

Its incredible how much time is spent thinking about what you're going to eat, buying the food, preparing it, eating it and then cleaning up afterwards. What can we do with all this extra time?

Bh means better half except that isn't strictly true! how old are you both? I'm seriously old ..... 52 ..... can't really believe it myself. Its true that you never really feel older_ its just body's moved on to an age I'm seriously uncomfortable with! One of my girls emded up staying in with...

Just about to whiz up a strawberry tetra with some ice for a change. I'm only on tetras this time round i really didn't get on wit the soups, porridge (yuk) and powdered shakes. Then see what I've got taped on the tv. My bh always goes out to the pub on saturdays and my 2 daughters will be out...

Morning girls - feeling much more positive this morning. Working this morning then determined to clear out the kitchen and tackle a real deep clean. I may even turn into the girl with the tidiest house (unlikely?) What techniqurs do you use to keep busy and divert the mind?

Fantastic weight losses. I thought you had to do SS to get losses that much. Have you a lot to lose?

Im planning to give my kitchen a real spring clean. Maybe even sort out some of the gadgets to give away as i won't be needing them for a few months. I'm a real sucker for kitchem gadgets and most of them just gather dust.

Brilliant weight loss gives us all the impetus to carry on. Day 3 and counting the minutes!

Hey leila and mariah thanks I'm sure we can all help each other get through the hard times. I've just gone to bed to save me raiding the kitchen and to be honest i can't imagine keeping this up for weeks and months. But the benefits are so worth it i have to commit this time.

Anyone out there willing to buddy up for mutual encouragement on the long haul? I've over 100lbs to lose (that's my first goal) and am currently on day 3 of Sole Source.

I'm on Day 3 SS with over 100 lbs to lose and not finding it too bad so far. I did a month on SS last year but fell off the wagon and am now suffering as a consequence. - my umbilical hernia is larger, my arthritic knees are more painful and overall I just don't feel great. My doctor has told...
