Hiya everyone, Can I join you all? I'm back to SS after a 2 month break.. was actually only supposed to be a 2 week break for our Florida holiday in May, but I just couldnt get my head back into it.. now after gaining back 12lbs I'm locked back into the SS mindframe again! Off to New York in...

I would like to say 'take no notice'.. but as a person who never takes onboard her own wisdom I do know how much comments like that can get under your skin.. My neighbour is the first person to comment on my loss so far, so I decided to tell her how I was doing it (havent told anyone but...

SeJay you look fab.. wish I had started this years ago!!

Thanks Redpam & Dotty.. Just saying to Mini, that I have lost loads of weight from my face, neck and shot putter arms.. just hoping my ass will catch up soon! :D Hiya Katieo.. Im just starting my 10th week with the CD and have to say I wish I started years ago.. Welldone on getting to day 3...

:rotflmao: sadly that was me before.. Thanks about the hair, having never dyed my hair ever in my 34yrs was worried how I would look as a blonde.. took nearly 5hrs :eek: to do as Im a natural redhead and it wasnt going without a fight!

Thanks you loverly ladies.. still got a long way to go, but loving the ride! ;)

No way I'm laughing at those pics.. OMG you look fab hunnie!!.. only laughing at the camel quote above, what ya like! roflmao No full body pics of me today, but thought I would share how much confidence cambridge has given me already.. went and had my hair dyed for the first time in my life...

Hiya clairabellx.. I had to write something in reply to your post, you have done so well with this diet, but I have to say that if my hubby was to ever say anything like your BF has not only would he get the wrath of me, he would also find himself minus one wife!! My hubby luckily for me...

Hiya Kelly, Sending you huge hugs this morning and for the days to come.. Im so sorry to hear of the loss of your nana, and hope you find some solace in the memories, photo's and time you had together. xxx

WoooHooo.. well done you!

Hiya Hunnie.. Dont worry honestly, as said already you can't NOT lose on this diet, my weight can stay the same all week and then in 24hrs I can lose 3-4lb.. my body seems to love to hold onto water like a camel! Well done for getting to day 3, stay strong and the scales will reflect your...

Morning gang.. Thanks for the replies, yea I guess a touch of shopping would give me a less 'bag lady look'.. I'm not what you would consider a 'happy shopper' :D I loath shopping, perhaps that will change when I am able to just walk into anywhere and know what is hanging on the rails will...

Hiya gang.. Well 90% of my clothes are starting to look incredibly baggy, my jeans and combats I can pull down without undoing (something that brings a strange smug smile to my face when I am in the bathroom lol).. My wedding and engagement rings are becoming very loose, especially when I am...

My CD told me its cooked weight.. :)

Your very welcome hunny, and you going great guns.. WELL DONE!! PS: have attached a bigger image for your wallpaper so its a bit clearer.. I use photoshop (badly) to alter images

Thanks hunny.. good luck for tonight, and well done for coming this far!!

Super Slim Me is on BBC Three, tonight at 9pm. :) sneak preview BBC

Slowly slowly.. you will be mine! :) Wanted to share this pic of me 4 weeks in.. Not brave enough for a face on one :o so sadly your stuck with my butt instead :D I have been whinging at home that I can't see any change in myself.. so DH talked me into taking my next lot of 'before's'...

Morning Chick.. hopefully 4lb will be pee'd away once the dreaded ttom hormones have calmed.. I read about that woman on skynews, madness! but of course I shall have to watch ;)

Thanks Blitz.. isnt that the truth, cant honestly say why we decided to order one, because neither of us ate much.. total waste of money!! She is a pickle Beverley.. such a happy soul :)

Thanks Mini.. yeah carb hangover describes how I feel today perfectly!! Not a pleasent feeling I can tell you! Yesterday was lovely, and our vicar is sooo funny.. notice the earing? he rides a Harley and is very down to earth.

Thanks Geri & Dani.. Still oddly in ketosis (just tested 5mins ago and its 0.4 on the pink scale).. I must kiss my lucky star and glug some more water.. xx

Thanks Beverly.. I have definately learnt a lesson! Roosters, thats a pact!!.. you have permission to smack me one should I ever want to do that again!.. although still feeling really icky today, so dont think I will fall off again, staple gun at the ready to staple my feet to the wagon...

Morning all.. Well yesterday was my neice's christening, I abstained all day avoiding all temptation of nibbles and alcohol.. only to ruin it all last night with a chinese, not only did I waste 80% of it as I couldnt eat it, have the worst nights sleep because of indigestion and guilt and have...

Hiya hun.. cant help on the laxatives, but my 'number 2's' are green too! lol

WOOOO HOOOO.. awesome start hunnie.. welldone xx

Thanks guys for words of wisdom and support.. Today is another day, feeling positive again, did my AAM last night, still no change on the scales this morning (yes I know I should stay off them).. BUT I think your right its fluid, my rings were tight this morning, and last night I had sock...

Hiya Everyone.. Well after 4 weeks of a loss everyday, I started my first go of AAM on Tuesday.. 50g of Chicken, small floret of brocolli and same of cauliflower, had same again last night.. hoped on the scales this morning and I have gained 0.8lbs (not a great deal I know, but still miffed...

Hiya Tracie.. 'SNAP' Im on day 28 and have lost 23lbs so far.. like you none of my clothes feel any different.. but my measurements have changed quite a lot.. so have come to the conclusion that because every pair of trousers/jeans I own have some percentage of lycra in them and that I have...

Thanks Pretty.. Sending you lots of willpower vibes, this site is a great resource and very supportive, look forward to hearing how you are doing.. wishing you lots of luck and loss :) xx

Ooooh me too please charmed.wishes Russiandoll SnowyJ Lisa Kazz Sonkie Mini

Hiya SkinnyCow.. Welldone on getting to day 7, so pleased to hear your feeling great and in control.. its a cloud 9 feeling isnt it :D

Thanks hunny.. :)

Thanks Mini.. think thats the best bit of advice for anyone doing this diet!

Hiya Blitz.. My hub cant believe I have stuck to it either, food was my god, my happy pill if you like.. Well done you on getting to 19days.. We WILL be slim this year hey! :)

Woo Hoo Bunnyg.. well done you, this diet is fab isnt it! :) xxx

Hiya fellow CD'ers... For the first time in many many years I am now 'obese' with a BMI of 39.9 this morning! To lose the 'very obese' title feels so good and is spurring me on every day. I still cant get over the fact that I havent eaten a thing now in 27 days, dont get me wrong I have...

.. I'm not struggling as such, but have suffered a few ummm.. issue's. I have suddenly developed really really sensitive teeth, at first I thought it would be a trip to the dentist for toothache as it was only one tooth, but over the last week its almost everyone in my mouth that is sensitive...

I do feel for you Betty.. If your anything like me, the scales are the biggest motivator and when they stop moving you get deflated. Stick with it hunny, they HAVE to start moving again xx

WoooHooo welldone both of you.. the losses are so motivating! xx

Hiya Tiara.. Sending you lots of willpower vibes for tomorrow and your coming days.. wishing you great success! My DH is also dieting with me, not CD but it is nice to have him on side so to speak, especially on a friday night, which seem to be my worst nights for the munchie grumps :D xx

according to my booklet yes mushrooms are allowed.. and its 50g/2oz of chicken :)

Great loss, this diet is fab isnt it!! I do my first AAM in eight days, I'm anxious about it, but my CDC says it will keep me in touch will food.. we shall see :)

Thats a fab loss hunnie, welldone! Hope your second week goes well :)

Hiya Lacey, thanks hunnie.. I do love the support of this forum.. my blinkers are shire horse size, I see no food, I want no food, I shall not eat any food lol

Thanks Lisa hunnie.. I look forward to us celebrating together when we reach our goals, and can shake our booty and not worry about the wobble ;)

Hiya D_Q Thanks hunnie, 'cool' it sure is.. :D

Yea me too.. my CDC said AAM would keep me in touch with food during my SS.. she did AAM and lost 12st in a year, so must work.. plus I want to know I can eat alittle and not return back to old habits..

Hiya Ali, I'm sorry you have had such a rubbish time on this diet.. I hope you find a road that is suitable for you.. chin up, you will find a way to lose those troublesome pounds :)

Yea me too.. Im also anxious over the whole AAM and something solid triggering my munchies off.. Im only on day 17, so got a while.. Hope your AAM week goes well, be interested to hear about it xx

Ummm I'm guessing it might be a small chicken breast.. Tescos do a 500g pack of chicken breasts and that contains four, so would be roughly 2/3rds of one of those breasts (make sense?) lol

Add-a-Meal The 'Add a Meal' menu is used as a natural break after four weeks on Sole Source, and is also the first part of the stabilisation process once target weight is achieved. Sometimes referred to as the 'green and white' meal, this menu introduces selected lean protein and vegetables to...

Thanks for the word of support WannaBeSlim, Fuzzys Angel, Karen & Mini.. and yeah definately here's to a slim 2007!!

..and I can't believe I have got so far, for 10yrs I have always failed within the first week of any diet fad I have decided to attempt. I can't say its been plain sailing.. Im first day of TOTM today and last night I had to go and sit in a hot bath with a book for nearly 2hrs because I was so...

Hiya Lelly, Im on day 13, felt pretty grim up until start of day 6.. tired, no energy, tearful, moody, rumbly tummy, achy, headache and suffered a runny bottom (ewww) day 4.. Now though waking bright and happy, feel energetic, not hungry.. my only 'symptom' of this diet now are the mind...

Thanks Bunny.. this site is a godsend.. I havent been this weight in over 2yrs, to think I have undone 2yrs of damage in 12days is mind blowing!

Cheers hunnie.. took my measurement again this morning and have lost 14" all over :eek:

SMUG!.. thats how I feel right now, made my breakfast shake and thought to myself would I be actually looking forward to this had I given in last night.. I honestly havent felt hungry, but the mind hunger jeeeezz thats gonna take some work!

Thankgod for this site..!! Last night we had a child free night as DD's had gone to stay with Nanny.. about 10ish DH & I drove each other mad with talk of how much damage we would do if we binged out, we are bad together on child free nights.. BUT I came on here searched the word 'binge'...

WoooHooo.. 9.6lbs gone, never to fill my jeans again!!

Oh-my have almost managed 7 days.. have discovered why ketosis makes your hunger go away.. I have for past 24hrs had a really horrible mouth, no amount of water makes it go away, brushing my teeth brings some relief for a short time.. so this has made me not even think about food today, such a...

Hiya Hunnie.. dont do it!!.. you know you will regret it the minute its in your mouth.. Ive just cooked my fav tea for our girls, and have come in my office whilst they eat it.. I can cook, but not watch.. more water, take yourself off for a bath? or a walk? xx

Hiya Ali.. Day 4 was my worst day (at day 7 now).. felt really pathetic all day, but have steadily felt better, still feeling a bit tired today but not sure if thats the diet or bad sleep pattern last night (youngest up last night) Welldone on getting this far, and sending you willpower vides :)

Hiya Nina.. hope tomorrow goes brill, and sending you willpower vibes :)

Hiya Poppa Congrat's on getting to day 3.. sorry to hear you have been feeling a bit grim. Day 5 for me and I feel much better today, so it gets better honest. My chilli soup went back too.. wayyyy to many floaters for me and tasted vile. Good luck on your CD trip, wish you every success :)

Aww cheers poppets, I know I cant fail on this diet unless I fail myself and give in to the inner munchies.. Little chant to myself 'I want to be slimmer, I want to be slimmer' This place is a little haven of sanctuary isnt..

Hmmmm.. day 4 sucks! well it has for me.. I'm so hungry today I could eat our dogs food! I feel tired, weak, moany, pathetic, tearful and am so sick of the colour of my bathroom!! BUT I will not give in, I want to be that image in my head!!

Thanks Keelie.. sending you willpower vibes for Saturday :)

Was surprised it went pink.. somehow I thought I would be one of the poor souls who take days to get into ketosis.. either that or it wouldnt register as I am pee-ing pure H20 now!! :D Yea I am addicted to the site, Im more a reader than a poster.. but I'm sure that is going to change in the...

Thanks D_Q.. hope your day is going great! Day 3 for me, and my little ketostix went pink this morning.. did a little jig in my bathroom! Have discovered I cant stomach Oriental Chilli or Broccolli and Cheese.. contacted my CDC and she is going to happily swap these for something else...

Wooo Hoo lisaloooo.. what a great start!!

Thanks everyone D_Q, Polishrose and Minime.. Well day 1 has been ok, woke feeling really positive, had a banana shake for breakfast, managed 2ltrs of water before 12pm.. not feeling too bad, not really hungry. Lunchtime I had chicken and mushroom, yum I like that flavour, 2 more litres by...

Hiya A&J I have started today, first shake wasnt too bad (banana) and have managed 2ltrs of water already today.. my loo seat is staying warm!! :D I have decided to start a diary today.. just for somewhere to moan to myself, remind myself why I am doing this and to track my progress.. I also...

BettyBoo you look great too, I took my 'before' photo today, and I can tell you it wont be going on here until I look very different.. YUK! :(

Hiya Everyone Met with my CD counselor this morning, and she is great!! Think we are going to become fab friends on my journey.. Picked up 10days worth of packs ready to Start on Tuesday.. Have pretty much got one of each flavour (not tomato, Chocolate and something and walnut as I don't like...

Corrr Kath you look FAB!!.. either that door has shrunk, or your now standing a few inches taller too!! Well Done you! I have 4 more days until I start, I am dreading doing the 'Before' photo.. but if I can see results like yours BRING IT ON!!

I hope your GP is a bit more supportive once she has seen the notes that come with the form.. But hey as long as she signs it you will be good to go. Christmas.. with the family.. but for first time in 12yrs its not us cooking/entertaining.. our shopping trolly has looked a bit sad really as...

Hiya Punk.. Thanks for the support, and for making me laugh with the comment above! v.funny!!.. I think the butterfly comment stems from constantly re-starting 'other' diets and never getting anywhere, I seem to have been telling people Im on a diet for the past 10yrs!.. This time I am keeping...

Hiya Mini.. hope you have a lovely holiday, and look forward to doing this along side you in 2007 :)
