Hey im not but my dad worked up the levels he done 12 weeks of sole source moved up a level for one week and then back on it for another 12 weeks. He list quite alot and then worked up the steps. Now 3 years later he has maintained his 10 stine weight loss.dowb from 24 to 14 stone. Hopes this...

I agree also. Its not extreme. Its helping shift the weight and helps teach portion control and good while foods further up the plan. I see ss as a means to an end.

Wow your weight losses are Brill. I'm really worried as totm and only on second week. But done lots of walking and a little jog today at the gym so hoping that all this shows on Tuesday im nit overloading the exercise just doing bits here and there.

Yeah that's always hard. Ha ha. I used to watch it constantly but can't do it anymore. I see bacon and I turn into a demented women

Its hard I know. But you'll get there really soon. Just stick to it... I've just watched a cooking show and my mouth was watering

Its hard I am quite tall so size 12 is healthy for me. But at the moment I've litrally got one pair of jeans and like 3 tops that I actually feel comfortable in. I also pit on weight. About 4 stone due to laziness and after having keyhole surgery. But I want to be back where I was. I've still...

There your will power. I've bought a lovely dress in a size 12 which is my ultimate dress size. Its hanging up in my front room so I just keep looking at that

Just keep going. When's your weigh in. Its natural to think about the food. Grab your coat and go for a walk. If I start thinking about food I take myself from the situation im in x

I put on another thread. Start cooking the food you will eat on the higher levels to practise. If your kids will eat it. That way your learning and when you get to eat it you'll have become a pro. Still hard but might work a little

no not at all 10pounds on the first week. Started at 16stone 5.

I'm on four a day. Tuesday will be week two weigh in for me. I do normally have 4 a day but have sometimes if I have been busy just had 3.

ah good. How many you on a day x

I was worried about the evenings but I've saved one of my shakes as im four a day for when id normally snack. Worked so far

Incorporate all the foods you'll be eating in the later stages of the diet. That way you get into ppractice of cooking those foods. That's if your kids will eat them. :)

Just drink all the water. Remember that the meals give you all the nutrients. And if you aren't comfortable on ss then move up the steps. Plus you won't be on this for the rest of your life. You'll learn how to eat and live properly. My dad lost ten stone doing this went from 24 to 14. That was...

I also make a hot chocolate with my chocolate shake in the evening. I think its something to look forward to and I feel like im cheating when im not ;)

Sorry for slow reply. I had my first weigh in on Tuesday and lost 10 pounds. Was so shocked as I didn't feel any different and thought I hadn't lost anything :D but it was a nice surprice. I'm hoping to loose a minimum of 4 pounds this week so that I can make it a stone.

ha ha. Yes. Different tastes fir different people. I wonder what the best selling flavour/ptoduct is

Its strange isn't it, cos i love the porridges. they fill me up and i like the taste. I swapped my soups for some mote porridge!

Hello. Been on ss for 9 days now. Good luck in your journey. Just keep remembering why your doing this type of diet and look to the future. I found my first 3 days hard but now feel quite good. What plan do you reckon youll start on?

Just stick at it. Think about all the nice healthy foods you can eat when you've reached your goal. :)

I am on ss. I do martial arts once a week which I have done for years. I used to be really healthy then had an operation on my knee. Now I don't feel comfortable jogging on the streets as I have put on weight. So I just jog or jump on the spot or do sit Ups at home while the ad breaks are on...

Hi I was told that increased headaches were a side effect. I've had one or two but nothing major. If its that bad go to a chemist and see if they can advise you on anything stronger. I used to use migraleve as I suffered headaches for weeks at a time. If not drink more water... Hope this...

Good luck. If you put your mind to it you will loose it. Get through the first few days and you'll start feeling okay again.

I think I felt rubbish untill day three to. But as someone said above just woke up and felt okay again. And im not to bothered about the food I cook for people at work now.

Okay thanks. Feels a bit better today

I know this is a bit off topic but didn't know where to post. I have been on ss now for 7days. Not had the side effects really :) but have got a bad throat. I don't feel ill or anything so was wondering if anyone else had this

Thanks. :)

Just had my first WI. I thought I hadn't really lost much and wasn't to optimistic. But I have lost 10 pounds. Its given me so much motivation. got a smile on my face now Good luck to everyone else :)

I've got my first weigh in tomorrow. This is day seven for me. Hunger isn't an issue at the moment but I still find it hard to resist food. Not cheated yet so alls fine. Even took my daughter to mac donalads...i just had a coffee. keep trying them I didn't like one of mine at first now I reaaly...

Yeah if your diabetic you have to keep check in ketone levels and you do this via blood. And totally get what you mean about addressing food issues. I think i will keep to instructions i have used hot water on certain shakes though but that's okay i think. I didn't get any of the...

And I cook for the people I work with (care home) so that's hard on day one I was cooking toast for someone. I was desparete to make myself some. But didn't. Was quite proud of myself as toast is my fave

i took it using blood on a mates monitor. Dunno if that makes much of a difference. Looking forward yo WI but also so nervous. My dad lost loads of weight on this so i decided to di it. Enjoying most of the food but think i might miss out soups and buy double porridge on Tuesday. Also not...

Helllo. I'm on my 6th day. Measures ny ketone on day 4 and wasn't very high. I feel quite good. Kind of over all the hunger panes. Dint feel like I've lost weight and nit weighed myself. Will get weighed on Tuesday. Did anyone else feel like this.

Hello. New here to. Started sole source last Monday and got weigh in on Tuesday. Feel ok. On 4 a day as tall. I'm just a bit worried. Not deviated from the plan, but don't feel like I've list weight. Is this the same for others. Not weighed myself as i want to see it over the week. :)
