Hi everyone. This is my first post! I'll give a bit of background info... my friend has just completed her 12 weeks on SS and lost an amazing 4 stone! Having been a bigger girl since I was around 11 years old and never really doing it anything about it, she spurred me on to finally make some changes.
In January I weighed 20st exactly and this was when I decided to stop drinking Coke. I lost about 8lbs just from doing that. Then roughly a month ago I decided to try a 7 day juice detox/diet. This entailed of 5 juices a day. I ended up cheating a few times in that 7 days and so I lost 6lbs but went back up about 3 as the food I was eating wasn't exactly healthy. At the end of that 7 days I weighed 19st 3lbs. I went back to food for a couple of days and then thought... right, I've seen that I can lose weight doing these juices, I want to start again for another 7 days and do it 100%. And so I did, I started the next morning. I did 7 days and didn't cheat once. I went from 19st 3lbs to 18st 9lbs. I then ate healthy food and exercised for a week and maintained that weight. The second week... went all to pot... takeaways, crap food... I went back up to 18st 12lbs.
At the beginning of the second week my mum and I contacted a Cambridge Consultant but had to wait from Monday til Friday for our appointment. This was 2 days ago. I weighed in at 19st 5lbs on her scales, a whole 7lbs more than mine! But I expected that as all scales differ. I'm using this as my start weight and am going to try my best to not weigh myself at home. I'm on Step 1 Sole Source and I have Chocolate, Chocolate Mint and Chocolate Orange shakes. I'm not overly keen on the orange one so I think I'm gonna swap that next week. I feel absolutely fine so far, no headaches or tiredness etc. but tonight I do feel very hungry. (I still have my last shake to have.) I have a water app on my iPhone so I am keeping track of that too.
I have my 1 week weigh in on Friday so hopefully I see a good weight loss! xx
