    My CDC is happy for me to just stay on SS until goal weight, as that's what she did. Then I'd go up the steps and any other weight loss is then a bonus...I'm not sure.

    1. All saints dress 2. Skinny jeans 3. La senza underwear! I've still got loads of size 8-10 clothes in the loft from when I lost all my weight last time I did this (pre pregnancies) and really can't wait until I can wear them again!!

    Step 1 Sole Source Energy vanished again?!

    So I'm on day 10, my energy finally came back on day 7 but today it's completely gone again I feel drained. I feed tired and my body aches. I could probably sleep all day! But I have 2 toddlers and a job so that's not going to happen lol. I'm still following CD 100% I had a little skimmed milk...

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    I know! Daft thing is no one even said they had or were going to cheat or have a blip and no one mentioned "illegal foods" lol! Just because I think it's all bizzar doesn't mean I don't understand their rules. I just assumed (using my own logic and common sense) that the thread was for doing the...

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    Thank you for taking your time in breaking up this information into bullet points for me (you didn't need to though I understood it in the first instance. I have a little intelligence...well im a nurse/midwife so I hope so lol). I have read all of the booklet thank you. I really just wanted to...

    Do CD choc bars effect your weight losses?

    Oh good thank you. I was going to order one per day do you think that would be ok? X

    SS first weigh in :)

    At first weigh in I lost 7lb! I'm happy with that! Really positive about CDC and really enjoying it! Went to a cafe with my friend with her daughter and my children who all had their lunch there and it really didn't bother me in the slightest :)
  219. lostpolarbear

    Do CD choc bars effect your weight losses?

    My CDC said because they contain more cals it MAY make you lose less weight? How many do you have per week and has it changed the amount you lose? I was really looking forward to them but I don't want it to prolong me getting to my goal?

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    Non legal food? Lol like what?! Sorry didn't realise there was someone who had posted that they had cheated? Must have been removed. SS+ can have food can they not talk about the food you can eat on that? Just so I know cos I'm doing SS+ in a couple of weeks and I may like some advice on which...
  221. lostpolarbear

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    Oh I think we just assumed the 100% Cambridge section was for people who were doing it 100% and not cheating etc rather than mentioning food, so are SS+ people not able to go on that thread and talk about the food allowance etc? Anyway I've been 100% SS for 9 days now and my energy came back...
  222. lostpolarbear

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    Hmm have you spoken to your CDC? It says in the booklet that if ur working in an active job and gives a hospital as an example then u should increase the shakes by 1 per day. Saying that when I last did this I was working on a busy maternity unit and I was ok but it might just affect people...

    Step 1 Sole Source Eating disorder!!!

    Ooh I've had this from loads of people when i was doing LT before i had kids. Once my SIL kept nagging and nagging about how unhealthy it was and how all I need to do is "eat healthy and exercise" she would be really rude about it and try and persuade me and my hubby to come off it. It was very...

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    Oh good, I'm getting there. Day 8 now and energy is back to what it was before the diet but hoping that soon I'll get even more energy. Not hungry what so ever today. I'm hoping to change my thinking towards food x

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    Oh no vic! Well done though or spitting it out!! In a nurse and last night visited a patient that gave me a twist choc bar and a couple of sweets lol. I just have them to my colleague. Makes you feel empowered though doesn't it?! X

    Step 1 Sole Source Week 3 and disappointed results...:(

    Hi lily I've just been looking back at my old posts and I last did CD jan 2011 and just noticed you replied to one of my threads on there about milk lol I recognised your avatar. Glad its not just Me who's back! Hopefully the last time for both of us!
  229. lostpolarbear

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    Thank you all for your support, I'm on day 7 now and got a little more energy but still tired. Definitely not in the bouncy and euphoric mood that I remember from last time. I'm working this weekend in the evenings so its a good thing because it keeps my mind off food at the time I'd be more...

    Step 1 Sole Source Ketosis!

    My consultant said a little bit of skimmed milk and tablet form sweeteners are ok on SS so I've just had one brew a day with it in but i might even stop that x
  231. lostpolarbear

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    Thank you I'm so glad to hear it will be in the next couple of days then! On day 5 now and still feel completely exhausted and drained. finding it hard to cope with my 2 1/2 year old son and 12 month old daughter! :/ feel like such a bad mummy as i just don't have the patience or energy to play...
  232. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source Ketosis!

    You could get the Cambridge choc bars? I really like those. But it's just reminding yourself that's it's JUST food. Were suppose to eat food for energy and so survive it shouldnt have a hold over our lives...it's hard though because alot of our social lives are based around both food and drink...
  233. lostpolarbear

    Day 4 when will i get my energy back?

    I'm on day 4 definitely in ketosis I've been doing SS 100% and I don't feel hungry but I still feel tired with no energy. I can't remember from last time how long it takes for my energy to come back? I can't wait for the feeling when you want to skip instead of walk lol
  234. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source Ketosis!

    What day are you on? I'm on day 4 I'm definitely in ketosis It's on my breath and I don't feel hungry but I still don't have much energy yet

    Step 1 Sole Source + CHOCOLATE N MINT!!

    That's fab I'll look at that smmothie maker! Remember doing that with lipotrim but my smoothie makers keep breaking! Xx
  236. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source 3rd day in and feeling good

    Same goal as me. I'm currently 12 1/2 stone, the weight I usually stick around is 11 1/2 (pre pregnancy) but once I did lipotrim and got to 10st and I was a size 10 I was pretty happy with that because I kept the curves I wanted with still being thin but I would like to get to 9st this time. I...
  237. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source 3rd day in and feeling good

    I'm the same, the kids keep me busy enough in the day and then once they are in bed that's when I usually start eating loads. I think I might go and grab my book an start reading that! Do u mean short term goals or long term? My first goal is for someone to say "have you lost weight?" lol how...

    Step 1 Sole Source End of day 1 and it went very well :)

    Thank you, I'm in day 3 and feeling much better. Think I'm already in ketosis as went from 8am when I had my breakfast shake, to 4pm without feeling too hungry! Just feeling a little tired now. Good luck! Keep drinking water, keep busy and go to bed early I find this helps xx
  239. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source Milk!!!

    Oh really glad I've found this, milk would be amazing. Makes all the difference!! It's a good cup of tea that I miss the most! X
  240. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source + CHOCOLATE N MINT!!

    I'm just having choc orange as a hot choc and it's actually really nice! I think it's the only powder shake I like so far (prefer the tetras usually)
  241. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source 3rd day in and feeling good

    So it's day 3 and I feel well. Just slight headache, no hunger and not tired today. I feel physically exhausted still but I feel awake enough. Just looking forward to getting some emery back now. I found that going to bed early helps!!
  242. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source Day 2 still feeling good :)

    Ooh good luck to you too xx
  243. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source End of day 1 and it went very well :)

    Thank you :) day 2 is going ok just wanting to eat now out of stress than anything else. I crave a cup of tea with a little bit of milk more than anything x
  244. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source Day 2 still feeling good :)

    So I woke up this morning with a little bit of a headache which paracetamol took care of but still no hunger. Only just had the porridge (which was awful!) and having a glass of water. I'm sure tomorrow will be harder before the ketosis stage!
  245. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source Ketosis!

    Lol I'm watching my boy eat his toast now too! It will be hard to watch people eating but as long as your not getting the hunger then it means your going into ketosis! Good luck! :)
  246. lostpolarbear

    Step 1 Sole Source End of day 1 and it went very well :)

    Well I got through day 1 easy. No headaches or hunger yet. I had to make my kids tea and I usually munch on bits they have left so that was difficult but only because of habit that anything else. I know what to expect because I've done CD and LT in the past but I'm determined more than ever. So...
