Step 1 Sole Source Size 12 please Cambridge

Hey all, Hope all is good just been reading up and seems like we are all motivated to get to goal!!! my weigh in is on Fridays usually early mornings, I am currently not working so my days are pretty flexible but the boredom is getting to me so trying to keep busy. It's strange to think that being on CD actually gives you more energy, as I remember when I went off the diet for two weeks how sluggish I felt and was tired all the time. Also whilst this diet is expensive (my weekly cost is between £43- £48) I think the amount of crap I used to spend on food before which I was terrible for as I always popping to McDonalds or something I wouldn't have thought the difference was that much, plus for a short term thing and getting a one-to-one consult certainly works better for me. The bars are a great addition to the diet as it does offer change and something to look forward to for myself I have one bar everyday and it helps me stick with it. Hope everyone has had a good Sunday and all ready for having a good week :)

Honey-J, I myself am a very private person and my mom too is the only one that knows lol so it does make it challenging when ppl come round but I think it also give me the opportunity to be more creative in making up excuses lol

Berry1, its tough to not go out at all and as your CDC said you shouldn't say no, the best thing is that you got straight back onto it and that's what counts so don't feel guilty at all your doing great!
 
Yeah me too, its terrible but sometimes I am just wishing the days away so I can get to weigh in lol I hope to get on the good side of 13 so anything under 13.7 will be amazing, I have started to increase my water as to be fair last few days I have been slacking but hopefully with more water and abit more exercise I can see a good loss.
 
I'm averaging 3lt of water most days now. It gets easier for sure. I just wanna lose more than 2lbs this week lol i don't want another breakdown like last week, although we are weighing in in the morning this time so bound to be lighter! I will feel better thats for sure
 
Yeah, hope its a good loss and with limiting your exercise hopefully that will help too :) Right i'm off to bed wishing you all a good Monday
 
Evening ladies well I've been home all day bored stiff my dad didn't show this afternoon and I wasn't going to call him to see where he was. I've drank loads today :) I hope I see a loss in the morning. I did have a 2 hour nap tonight then my BF called at 11pm been chatting to him. :) we have only been together for 9 months still really early., but so far so good.

We have date night next Wednesday 26th so I will be off plan. I'm going to make my weigh in day a day early next week
Ok so this Thursday I'd like to be 13.9 lbs :)

AMaD we are very close in weight Hun :) small goals are good to keep in mind. Is your mum ok with you being on the diet? How old are you?

Bex I was going to say don't do any exercise for a while Hun let your body adjust to the diet first. - how was the ice- cream drama lol ?

Berry how was your day?
 
Morning week 2 is here!!

Peek and 1 lb down

13st12 YAY.... :) :)

See you all later. And be good xxx
 
My day yesterday was good after my guilt went of going out the night before. But it seems no one is stopping planned nights out which makes me feel better. I to had a sneak peak on the scales this morning.... 3 lbs down. I would be really happy with a 4lb loss this week.

I started at 15.11, last weigh in 15.4. If i could see the 14's this week would be amazing:)
 
Hey yalll been a manic Monday travelling around and went to see my auntie today who kept asking me what I wanted to eat and when I said just a glass of water she was like noooo you cant just have that, have a biscuit instead! lol thankfully I wasn't there long or I think she may have forced it down me lol

Honey-J, Glad things between you and the BF are going good, and the 26th will give you something to look forward too. I am 26 how about you? and in terms of my mom, I think she was ecstatic at first as I was at my biggest 17.3 and it didn't feel like I would ever lose weight but more likely I would gain more weight and I think my mom just wanted me to do something. Now however she is a bit more concerned and thinks I should start eating and exercising, which is true but I feel so good on this diet and yes its tough but the weight loss has been great so far and I just want to continue and get into the healthy BMI and move up the steps. How does your mom feel about it?

Berry1, glad you've let go of the guilt and seems like your in for a good loss and you'll b into the 14s in no time for sure :D

Hope everyone's day has been going good?
 
Ive done good today, although i keep sneaking on to the scales! BAD Bex lol Any way I'm fluctuating around 10 and half stone rather than 11 stone so happy about that and lost an inch and half off my hips, but still don't want to get hopes up as i know all too well that can change in a flash!

good to see you resisted the biscuit! I hate how food just seems to be everywhere when you are not allowed it!
 
Hey bex, I am a serial weigher myself every time I pee I jump on lol but yeah keep going and you will certainly see a loss and to get into the 10s which sounds amazing lol. Food is everywhere though I've realised it so much since being on the diet and is in almost every aspect of life, food is just there and its rare to socialise where food isn't involve, which I think is kinda sad. don't get me wrong I love going out and eating out but the eating out part for me, needs to be now and again rather than all the time and obviously the choice of what I have certainly needs to change for sure. but I do think I am learning as I go through this diet, I mean when I was on week 3 or 4 (I think) I had a team day to attend with my old placement and they all decided to get some food before doing the activity, and I remember chatting to my consultant and questioning if I just not go? as I didn't know where we would be going or anything, and I didn't think I had the control, but anyway I went to the meal and it was an all you can eat buffet of cuisine from around the world and well I searched and search for grilled chicken or salon or anything that was allowed on SS+, but there was nothing it was all curry based, fried, smothered in fat and I ended up having a few cucumber slices and lettuce and some water, I only went up the once and everyone was questioning me "what's wrong?" (as if something had to be wrong with me to chose a healthy option) I didn't even have dessert, and I wont lie I actually felt full :eek:. I was totally shocked and I've been to an all you can eat buffet before and literally eaten until I couldn't no more but looking back I felt so crap after id eaten everything, but this time I felt great and I was really chuffed that I managed to stick with it, so hopefully that determination and control I had is something I cant take away with me from this diet. And even now I cook ALOT mainly because I love it but also because I am free most of the time and I cook for my mom so she doesn't have too, and the food has been majorly tempting but not once have I licked my fingers had a sneaky bite or 3 or anything whereas before I would eat a meal while preparing my meal and I would think that because no one saw me it didn't count and now my whole mentality has changed around that, and I guess I just hope it will continue because I don't ever want to go back to the way I was, and hopefully its something we can all gain from this diet. Sorry for rambling on but yea just had to get it down lol. Right I am off to watch the walking dead , super excited but wishing us all an awesome Tuesday :D x
 
Evening ladies lovely to hear from you. I had a headache from 2pm at work. I did take 2 ibrofen it went then by 5 ish it was back. :( which made me rush home to bed for a short sleep during this time I had a terrible dream just that a man broke into my house and held me hostage in my living room. A dream I know but now I'm awake it felt so clear and real. It's worried me really now. I'm going to ring the BF in a bit put my mind at rest lol.

Ok I've only had 2 shakes today I've got the worst flavour selection ever. My CDC contacted me back she was lovely and will text me everyday which is what I need, ok enough about me tonight.

Bex - your getting as bad as me with the weigh but I say if it helps you on plan it's all good. Im excited to hear your loss :) I could only dream of getting into the tens again lol well done x

Berry - your shrinking nicely berry I'm hoping for 4 lbs also fingers crossed for both of us? how much water do you drink a day ?

Im 32 now eeek I loved being in my 20's lool my mum is fine with the diet as long as its short term and I follow the plans my mum did this diet 18 years ago and knows its safe etc. plus with me being in a relationship she knows I'm worried about my appearance. You have to love family who feed you up lol like my dad a bit.

Does anybody have a Christmas party this year? X
 
Ha i am organising our xmas party this year! I know i will be off plan that eve but still trying to be goodish. No dessert and salad starter.
I weigh myself every time i pee as well lol. I live in hospital accommodation and so my bathroom is tiny. Literally i sit on my toilet with my feet on the scales in front of the sink!!

Im 32 in march!!! shifting weight in your 30s is hard, i never really believed people that said that but its true. I also realised today that i had a weird relationship with food. I often times feel left out from friends doing stuff etc I'm sure most of it is in my mind i.e. when I'm in a slump the feeling of exclusion is higher. i realised that normally when i was feeling like that i would order a take away. Normally just to cheer myself up or to kill time till i went to bed. I couldn't do that last week when those feeling reared their ugly head and so i think thats why my reaction was so bad on friday. Im glad I've realised this. It also explains why when I'm on a downer i feel seriously hungry. Now i know though i will be able to control it rather than it controlling me.
Currently i love that i feel smaller, like I'm still the same size but smoother in places if that makes sense
 
Heyy, just found out I got a job I had an interview for, which is both exciting and daunting as I will be a mental health recovery worker, which is will hopefully give me the experience needed to get hired as a social worker in a community mental health team :). I don't actually have any Christmas parties which I am thinking might be a blessing this year as I want to get as low as possible for the 22nd Jan and plan to only have Christmas day off but even then I will have a lighter meal compared to everyone else (that's the aim lol).

Honey-J, hope you are feeling better, I get headaches quite a bit but drinking more water helps also I put Vix on my forehead which actually helps too lol. and that dream sounds terrible I am not surprised you were worried but hopefully your BF put you at ease, my dreams at the beginning of SS consisted of food lol and one time I actually woke up feeling disappointed as I thought I cheated lol. Your consultant sounds lovely and its a good idea to get a text everyday I might see if my consultant will too.

Bex- that's great that feeling smaller, for me its my collar bones and neck area that I can feel a difference mostly, I can actually feel them lol which is so nice and my wrist as well is a lot smaller lol which is random but also nice lol

Hope Tuesday is goin well for everyone x
 
I'm 32 in may!!! Yes a lot harder to shift in your 30's. I'm not sure how much water I drink a day, I used to drink so many bottles but now I just seem to know when I had enough. The hardest thing for me is not having a nice milky tea, and I use to have 1 or 2 sugars, I know it's doing me good not having them sugars. Weigh in day tomorrow, and CDC is doing my measurements for the first time. Can't wait for the bars.
 
Good luck with the weigh in mine is on fri morning and can't wait. I'm getting a decent set of scales tonight as well. I think having the extra chicken allowance on ss+ really helps me as well
Peaked at the scales this morning and I'm hovering around the 10st mark!!!! Eeeek
 
Bex- Wow that's great, have u been on the diet long, this is week 2 for me. I was determined to do ss until Christmas. Some days I'm fine, some I really miss food. Not been too bad this week as I did have a meal out although I felt so guilty it kinda kept me going:)
 
Ive only been on it for 1 week and 5 days friday will be 2 weeks. I know i fluctuate a lot and its not the most accurate scales but i think I'm gonna by some better ones this eve. Im wanting to do SS until week of the 8th dec then that week i have a xmas pot luck lunch at work so will be taking part in that even if its just my xmas cake I've made lol then i have my xmas dinner party on the 13. After that SS for one more week and then as and when over xmas. Ofcourse if i get to like 9st 5 or something before that time i will not be doing ss.
 
I had a peak on my scales this morning and I've lost 4lbs. I really hope it's 5 tomorrow so I'm in the 14's. Would love to be in the 13's by xmas. My CDC is a make up artist and she gives make overs for every target met. My first goal is a stone and a half:) she lives just up the road so she said she can come to me and do it for any occasions or nights out. It doesn't have to be on the day u achieve ur target .So that's something to look forward to once I reach it. This is the only diet I can stick to.
