Hello I'm not near target yet but I was wondering what happens do I do ss until I reach target then go up all the steps or once I reach target start at the step 6 or should I not reach target on the ss plan?
Target weight ?

Depends where ur target weight is.
Once u hit "normal" bmi u cant do SS anymore so start moving up to 810.
U can still lose on the steps its just (possibly) slower than SS, but more suited to lower bmi's. X

Some are important fpr reintroducing food groups (so as not to pile weight back on). Discuss with your CDC and theyll advice which steps and when would b good fpr u.
Theyre all dofferent timescales too. So for example u can stay on 810 for a long time if u want (for big losses still) But its minimum 1 weeks recommended. Where as 3-5 is 2 weeks minimum recommended. X

Your not bugging her. A lot of CDCs dont like to discuss it too far in advance coz it makes SS tougher for some.
Ask what u need to ask and keep asking until your happy with the answers. X

Well done hun. So ur just about to cross over into overweight catagory soon then (bmi 30).
Thats fab. But as ur still not too close to the "ok" catagory (around 25) youre in no rush to move up steps yet. Prob y she hasnt discussed it with you yet.
Dpes that make any sence? X

Hello Deb, So just to give you an idea, I have a week or so more on SS - as I am a BMI of about 26.2 at the mo and hopefully with a good loss this week will go into the 25 category before the end of Feb.
I have spoken to my CDC who has agreed that I will go onto 810 until I have reached my target weight ( as I would still expect a loss of about 2lbs a week) and then once i'm there, or thereabouts, go further up the steps so i can reintroduce carbs.
Hope that helps!

The official guidance is that Soul Source can be done until your BMI is 25 + 1 stone. So for your height, you need to be about 10 stone 5 for your BMI to be 25, so you can do SS until you reach 11 stone 5, and then move up to a higher plan, usually 810. You can stay on 810 until you reach goal if you want.
