I really feel like I want to go back to SS for the security of losing 1st per month but at the same time my BMI is too low for SS and my body probably needs the extra nutrients.

My BMI is under 25 so I'm doing step 2 but wondering how much I can expect to lose each week on this step? i still have 1.5-2st I'd like to shift before my holiday in August but not sure if that'll be possible on step 2 as only 10wks till I go.

Thanks everyone I'm definitely not pregnant :) im going to try and move up a step even though the thought is scary. Cross fingers for me x

So I've been on Cambridge since January and gone from 14st10lb to 10st0lb as of Friday 31st may. however in the last week everything has gone a bit weird. i bought some new clothes on the 1st June size 10 but in the last week my weight has gone up and up each day and now I'm at 10st7lbs and...

This is my 9th week on soul source, I still have 3 stone to go till goal. I'm thinking of joining the gym and taking some classes what is everyone else's experience with exercising on sole source? I don't plan to overdo it I just want to tone up my body. Worried that gaining muscle will...

Well done on your loss xxx

You can mix and match SS and SS+ I do if I have a special occasion which lately is working out at once a week with all the birthdays :)

Best of luck x it's a tight goal but if you stick to it 100% you could do it x

Welcome and good luck xxx

The only way you'll know is to fight through the first week. I had a runny bum, stomach ache, hot flashes followed by chills, shakes, dizzy spells. I thought I was dying. But when your addicted to carbs and sugar and I do mean i was ADDICTED there is bound to be a tough cold turkey period. I...

I was wondering that too thanks all x

Still devastating though lol x

Well done! Congratulations x

Yes he's on it too. Wish he'd gave me a head start he lost 2 stone to my 1 stone in the first 4wks!!!

Some private chemists sell them or you can get them on eBay. They are a godsend but I think they are American as I have struggled sometimes to get them. They're not readily stocked.

If you torture yourself over it you'll only end up quitting. Accept it happened and get straight back on the wagon. Worst case- you delay your goal 1wk (no biggy) Best case- it makes no difference to your weigh in and life goes on. Congrats on doing so well xxx

I'm not 12wks in but I'm just going into my 6th week. So I'm half way through the first 12wk stint. I find it quite easy to stick to SS now, I just got to a point where I refused to be fat anymore and nothing and no one will stop me from getting to goal. That keeps me strong every day. I...

I hear ya! Me and the hubby have agreed not to sleep facing each other cos we stink so bad. I live on ice drops its a breath freshener that works amazingly. Few drops on the tongue lasts hours.

I could polish off a full pizza to myself today I'm wanting something tasty so so bad. I'm going to be strong but I'm not happy about it. Also feel super bloated/ fat trousers feel tight again. It's fat days like this that make me wanna cheat. Rant over :(

Well done Faye

Alison, you shouldn't be adding salt to any of your meals it'll make you retain fluid and slow weight loss x pepper and spices are fine just no salt x

Congratulations x

Thanks lily I'm not bothered about losing weight faster, but I would like to tone up and lose some wobble faster lol

I'm wanting to start incorporating some exercise now I'm 4wks into the diet can it knock me out of ketosis and into starvation mode? I'm only thinking some hula hooping or sit ups, maybe upping my walking... Any advice appreciated

Yes pinkfos remember you only fail by quitting! If you keep at it no matter how small the losses then you are still winning the weight battle. My hubby loses 10-4lbs every week and it was really getting me down too so I'm just trying to stay positive and only think about myself x Good luck at...

I do SS+ occasionally - once a week. My absolute fave is grilled chicken with grilled green pepper. The pepper is really nice and juicy x

I'm 5ft5" I started at 14st10lbs and my goal is 9st7lbs 4stone to go x

Thanks lily, I guess I just needed someone in the know to tell me it'll be alright x

Feel absolutely gutted Wk 3 - 2lbs off Wk 4 - 2.8lbs off What am I doing wrong :(

Hi I'm feeling the same I just had my 4wk weigh in today and left gutted. Wk1 -7lbs Wk2 - 4.8lbs Wk3 - no weigh in Wk4 - 4.8lbs (makes a 2.4lb loss over the last two weeks. I couldn't have did anymore and I also could do with some reassurance that my losses will pick up again x

Last day of week 3 my trousers had been feeling looser but in the last couple of days they feel tight again. I'm also finding it harder to drink the 3ltrs of water that last week I found easy. Could the water issue be making me gain inches again?

I'm on sole source and I do stick to it 100% most of the time but once or twice a week I have a small pickled onion no sugar ones. Do you think this will cause much of a problem?

Sorry Frenchie I missed this the wedding is 27th April so I'm hoping I can lose a couple of stone. I'll still be fatter than the rest of them but I'll be less fat than I was a week ago :)

Frenchie I also have a bridesmaids dress to fit into that was the final push I needed to do something about my weight. I refuse to be the 'fat' bridesmaid.

Congrats to you both for sticking it past the first 3 days! I'm day 6 today I'm not really wanting food either although I am super hungry.

Hi all, I'm at day 6 and feel lick cack! Sore tummy Starving! Heartburn Hot flashes Nausea No energy at all Everyone keeps saying how great they feel in ketosis - maybe I'm not in it yet, but if I am then my experience ain't great

I'm allowed to start having bars as of Sunday (max 1 a day) Is it bad if I eat one a day? Will it affect weight loss? I hear so many people saying they only eat the low carb ones or limit themselves to two a week, so I'm a bit worried. I don't like many of the packets so I hoped the bars...

Kathy, Mix the soups into a paste with a small amount of water then a little more and slowly pour and stir. If you make the paste first you should be fine

Hi, You should give your consultant a call she will be able to advise best. Hope you sort something out x

I had problems yesterday with concentration & migraines (day2) Today (day3) only a mild headache, cold and heart burn I can handle that.

I'm on day two and really struggling with migraines, could hardly keep my eyes open at work today. Someone please tell me how long it takes for the migraines to subside?

I have the coconut just now - its pretty gadz! didn't want the cookies and cream & my CWPC should have the mango next week for me to try

I'm only going to be seeing my CWPC once a fortnight so I have longer to wait - only on day 1 though. I'm glad I don't own scales I'd be checking constantly.

Thanks all! Today I've had the vanilla shake which was Ok & Just finished the oriental chilli soup - smelled yuk but tasted yum :) I'm loving the choice but i bet after 2wks ill be living on my faves only lol

Met new consultant this morning have loads of different flavours to try so I've started again today. Feel so much better about starting the diet after speaking to my new CWPC. I'm NOT going to slip up again xxx

Met my new consultant this morning & wow what a difference she had every product going and as much of each as I wanted. I left with loads of selection, loads of leaflets and booklets. I have a weight record card a shaker.... It feels like Christmas. I even got my photo taken. I got...

Hi Liliy, yeah I'm the veg soup girl. I've got an appt tomorrow morning with my new consultant, going to start afresh tomorrow. All food in my house is getting chucked - I have far too weak a will power to be near temptation just now.

Well folks I couldn't even last 1 day :( Did well all day and wasn't even hungry but I had to cut up a Christmas cake to give to the family and couldn't resist a huge slice. I'm so disappointed. I will start the diet tomorrow but I'm so frustrated at my lack of will power :(

I'm going to speak to him and try and work out why the first appt went the way it did if he can't explain himself I will name and shame

I'm the same I associate food with tv. I plan to read a lot of books in the coming weeks so that the tv isn't my undoing

Yes I'm going to email head office as I wasn't impressed at having to fight him to let me start on sole source. I gave the other consultant all my info and she couldn't figure out why the other was so against it as we have no medical issues. Just a bad experience I guess, new chick seems...

Yeah text is defo the way to go - I never was good at break ups lol

Thanks all for your replies, I've contacted another consultant a bit further away who sounds great and has loads of choice etc. I think I might need to break up with the original guy. Just need to grow a set and tell him :)

Hi the consultant just wanted us to use a healthy eating menu plan. There is one other consultant about an hour and a half away, I wouldn't be able to travel this distance weekly, I might call her and see if she could do monthly.

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but wanted some buddies for my Cambridge journey. I live in quite a remote area and there is only one consultant within an hour of me but after my meeting last night I'm a bit disappointed. First off I had to fight to be put on SS as the consultant wanted to use...
