Losses so far

[summerbear2013]

Just wondered what people have lost in what amount of time doing ss and does it differ depending on your starting weight?
My starting weight is 16-8 and I'm 5 ft 6
Look forward to hearing your journey x

hey

I find if you want motivation, it's good to read the posts on this page Weekly Weigh Ins. A lot of people's pages put how much they're are losing, and how they find it. And of course everyone's losses are different depending on size, metabolism etc. I found I was looking for inspiration for weeks asking how quickly I could lose it, and in the mean time I was half heatedly trying.

Best thing I did was get a consultant and get started. I'm only on Day 4 but doing ok so far on 3 or 4 shakes a day. I started at 12 stone but have 2 stones to lose. My consultant says a stone a month is very realistic, but I see alot of people on here lose 10lbs in their first weeks so maybe the bigger you are, the quicker it comes off. I guess it depends on what you're eating before the diet starts.

Good luck with all. I'll post my loss on Wednesday!!

I was hungry today too and wasn't out with my shakes etc so I had some tuna. I stay clear of cheese because it's sooo high in fat. At least eating fish I know is good for me, brain food apparently.

I've been struggling to drink 5 litre of water like some girls manage but it's definitely easier as each days goes by. Its making me realise too, how often I ate mindlessly when I wasn't hungry. It's nice to feel more in control.

Keep up the hard work!

5 litres u only need to drink 2 litres a day. U don't lose more drinking more but u lose less if u drink less than 2 litres.
When I did it 2 years ago I only drank 2 litres a day. X

That's not the general consensus on here, heaps of people who drink more seem to get better results. 2 litres is what I was drinking before this diet so my consultant suggested the more we drink, the easier it is to flush out the crap. I aim for 3 or 4 litres though!

 

[summerbear2013]

Well I hardly ever drank anything all the extra water does is flush the ketones out. I have a coffee on top of my 2 litres n 20 ice cubes in each shake. I'd be up all night weeing if I had more x

Hi,

I too am 5ft 6 and weighed 15st 10lb at my first weigh in. I have stuck to it 100% and lost 12lb in my first week so you can loss a lot. I would def avoid the chesse though, if you really must eat/nibble I would have something like chicken off of the SS+ list in your book. Good luck

I'm 5"7 and started CD SS 2 weeks ago weighing 12st 3, lost 5lbs first week and another 3lbs today - also lost 2.5in from waist, 2in from thighs, 1in from chest and hips.

Really enjoying it and not missing food at all, I aim to drink 2.5-3 litres water per day (not including tea and coffee). I get the odd craving but am managing most of the time just fine. Just starting week 3 and have just under 4 weeks til my holiday and til my target goal weight of 11 stone.

Thanks Liz, I am getting some wafer thin ham/chicken today when hubby goes shopping i only had cheese as it was only thing in fridge that wasn't carby. Your first week loss is super bet you're chuffed. I was 15-10 before I went on holiday and I wanna be 14 stone before I go to Tenerife in October xx

Are we allowed ham? I thought only chicken breast too? I'm not sure I would like to have bits in the house as I would pick.

Yes def chuffed with it, get weighed again tomorrow, hoping for 3-4 lb

Hey

How was weigh in??

I feel really bloated today and don't feel like I've lost any weight and I was so hungry after Zumba I ate tuna salad!! Tomorrow's weigh in should be interesting!

i am 5'7, was 150lbs and lost 5.7lbs in first week but I think my period might have interfered a bit with water retention or whatever - i want one of these weeks where you lose 10lbs! so jelz of some of the women on here!

 

[jess33]

Me too!! I have 3 weeks to shed a stone at least!!
I'm 5'8 and weighed 165lbs but lost 4.5 lbs yesterday. I did a variation of SS+ 810 some days as I had commitments that made it very hard to just drink shakes. This week I'm hoping for 7lb maybe!!!

 

[MushMachine]

it's easier for me to stick to because i just moved to singapore and don't have any friends yet, so it's easier to stick with the diet as a loner! i think you will do a stone in 3 weeks no problem. i have this 'uy i have a major crush on coming to visit on july 26 and i need to be the same size as i was when i saw him last 3 years ago (how embarrassing if he notices i've been on the cakes!), so i am hoping to lose another 10lbs in the 2 weeks i have left, which is pushing it! worried that weight-loss will slow - down... i've seen some people losing 2lbs a week after first few weeks are over - you can lose that on weight watchers having real food!?! i will feel so robbed if thate20happens to me cause this diet really isn't easy!

How long have you been on the diet now??

I've fallen off the wagon and eaten today. I had eggs. I find weekends so hard and especially find turning down lunches out to socialising hard. But I'm trying to focus on the end goal. A bikini!!!

I'm gonna go and exercise today I think!!

Keep it up!!!
