    Seven Stone By Christmas

    Hopefully (really and truly hopefully) back in the swing of SS now, after a staggering 4 weeks of stopping and starting. Really good to finally see the 16's, even if its just the tip of them! Gutting to know that I could be in the 15's by now if I hadn't gone off course, but the main thing is...

    Seven Stone By Christmas

    Wow Jellie! You are in the swing of things! I need to get that focused. I'm not in the 16's, I stayed the same. I knew it would be a disappointing weigh-in today after my carbs fest. I MUST be focused now or I will stay disappointed.

    Seven Stone By Christmas

    Genius that I am, I ate food yesterday - including bread and chocolate. Weigh-in is tomorrow so I will get what I deserve.... On the plus side, loads more energy and flexibility. Going to go for a 4-mile brisk walk today. There was a lady on Mail Online yesterday who lost 9 stone through CWP...

    Seven Stone By Christmas

    How you getting on Jellie? Re-starting is HARD! For anyone thinking of starting this diet, or if you are a new starter - just try and stick to it! The odd slip won't mess things up, I'm talking about going AWOL from the diet for several days or longer. It's hard to get back into, so if you are...

    Seven Stone By Christmas

    Had my weigh-in this morning and was fully expecting it to be 1 or 2lbs following a disastrous week. But it was 4.5lbs which was a great surprise, and takes me to the 4 stone total of weight loss. Yes, it could have been more by now if I hadn't had 2 weeks off, but who cares, this diet is...

    Well done Babymamma! Great loss! Sorry to hear about your son, and don't worry about eating. At least you are realising why you need to eat. It's so hard to learn anything about food on this diet because we are without it. Lost 4.5lbs this week, much better than I had hoped for. Onwards and...

    Next weigh in is Wednesday and I would love love love to be in the 16's, but that would mean having to lose 6lbs in 4 days, and I don't think I can manage that lol! I will be happy with 3lbs this week. Jules, my mum so doesn't want me to be her mentor, she is annoyed that I keep reminding her to...

    Oh no Babymamma, but don't worry, we all slip up from time to time. Its a natural thing to want to eat. Vjs is right, just forget about it and don't beat yourself up, and get back on the diet 100% tomorrow. If you come out of ketosis your body won't be living off of your fat stores, so you may...

    Hi vjs, my stats are under my name. But if you're reading from a phone I started the diet on 11th July and have lost 3st 9lbs so far. Would have been more but wasted the past 2 weeks with some major cheating :( Am trying to get back on track now, and hoping to lose 7 stone by Xmas. I want to...

    This is brilliant! I am so impressed and spurred on to also get into the 16's. I see what you mean about the chart as well!

    Thanks Christy, these are good tips! I love looking at my CWP booklet to see how far I have come, but maybe having a tally chart or something of pound loss will really help. Thanks for the good vibes yesterday - they obvs worked as I had a full 100% day! So, yesterday was a good day, thanks...

    Ate crumpets this evening, so it still wasn't a 100% SS day. Feeling very hungry despite loads of water, so it just goes to show how far from ketosis I am. Glad I stopped at crumpets and didn't eat anything else, and I am actually glad to have a sore throat which is getting worse and worse...

    Yeah I think thats what it is for sure! I have more than half my body weight to lose so my consultant was saying I should lose 7 or 8 stone in the first 6 months (by the end of this year) and then it will slow down a lot for the last 2 or 3 stone. I lost 2 stone in the first month because of...

    Today was a bit ridiculous. I almost bought some popcorn in Waitrose, but right before I got to the till I thought no, I don't need this and walked out (without the popcorn, I wouldn't be able to run fast enough from the security guard).

    I think everyone has got their ways of coping with it. Some people on SS have one meal a week or one a fortnight, and some just take off nights when they have a special celebration meal.

    I have tried the bars but ironically my consultant said I should try and avoid them for the first 12 weeks - if only she knew the half of what I was eating instead!! I ate some pasta last night but I felt so bloated it wasn't worth it. Back on SS today, maybe I should try JUDDing? But anyway...

    I'm glad you are settling into the diet a bit more. Try and have lots of hot drinks (ones that you're allowed) as well as water because that makes you feel fuller.

    You might need more nutrients to help move your cold along? So it might be better to just have some protein soup now and start CWP when you feel better? That way you are preparing your body for the diet by not having carbs, but you are not depriving it of anything you need in order to get better.

    Step 1 Sole Source Need to get serious again - share your motivation tips!

    Wow, you've done really well! I get weighed every Wednesday and just had my week 8 weigh in this week. I lost 6 and a half pounds which was a great start to me turning over a new strict leaf. Before that I lost 3lbs for the past 2 weeks, and I think 4lbs the week before that. But I cheated all...

    Step 1 Sole Source Need to get serious again - share your motivation tips!

    Hi Blondcarrot, well done on getting down to your last stone! How much have you lost and how long did it take you? You could probably benefit from stepping up your exercise - brisk walking really helps tone the hips and thighs, and the cardio burns fat. I like pilates as well as it is very...

    new cookies & cream shake???

    I finally got to try it today! I was a bit disappointed because it tastes VERY much like the toffee & walnut shake, and the maple pecan porridge. Its like a nutty-vanilla shake. At first I thought my consultant had brought me the wrong shake (it was in a plain sample packet) and I had to double...

    Saggy Skin !

    I'm using Palmer's Cocoa Butter mixed with Rodial Stretch Mark Eraser every day, body brushing with a dry brush every day, and doing Darcey Bussell's pilates DVD 3 or 4 times a week. It's very gentle, but gets you toned!

    This time...

    Hi Tbag, I'm 2 months into the diet and for the first 6 weeks I was a nightmare to be around, everything was winding me up and I got in several rows. Feel much calmer now. Don't know what your row was about, but it would really be the best thing to clear the air tonight so you can enjoy your...

    Working Out On Sole Source Causes Muscle Damage

    Hi! Someone told me that you shouldn't workout whilst on sole source at all. My consultant recommended walking every day, and when I mentioned I go on very long walks a few times a week, plus a shorter walk every day and a pilates DVD 3 times a week, she said this was all good, and I should try...

    new cookies & cream shake???

    I want to try this one too! I ask my consultant every week ha ha! She's like, you'll be the first to know when I get it. But now I think I've built it up too much. It will probably just have a malty-milky taste.

    *Almost* 2 stone in 2 weeks!!

    Two stone in two weeks is absolutely AMAZING! How have you been getting on since? It has taken me nearly 2 months to get 3 stone off! I have cheated several times though, but now I feel very focused and will just keep going.

    Step 1 Sole Source My zombie day by day diary

    Good luck Zombie! Just think how well you have done and focus on that. You can never go back - only forward. By the way, is your hot yoga similar to Bikram yoga? Is it very hard? I am hoping to go down to 3 products a day next week but my consultant knows I do pilates and long walks (6-8...

    I'm literally going to be half the person I was!

    Hi Anna, Very brave and honest diary. I started CWP a couple of months ago and it's been real ups and downs, but my reasons were very similar to yours - a mixture of being concerned about an unhealthy future, and wanting a radical change. Do you really think you can lose 9 stone by the end of...

    When did people start to notice?

    Because I feel so light I feel much thinner, and then I catch sight of myself in a mirror and realise I'm pretty gad damn far from thin! It can get me down a bit. But there are little differences that make me smile, like fitting into clothes I haven't worn in months, and I think I've definitely...
