Hey guys iv been on sole source for 2 weeks and 2 days and have lost 11lb so im very pleased! My mum is a cambridge counsellor so I've learnt lots of tips! A lot of you are saying the shakes are not very nice but the thing is they can be, I used to hate them but now i look forward to them everyday. The trick is to use a blender with lots and lots of crushed ice and water and put on high for a few minutes. The result is a gorgeous thick milkshake that is really filling, non powdery and the chocolate one especially is amazing and I would buy it from the shop! O and drink it through a straw I find it much nicer. Also my fave thing is I get a caramel bar, a toffee bar, and a chocolate bar and cut each bar up into 16 pieces. I then divide the pieces into 3 freezer bags and put them in the freezer. In a few hours you have a bag of pick a mix treats that are hard and chewy and last longer than ur usual bar. You dont have to use all flavours, you can use one flavour such as a toffee bar an cut it up into 16 bits put in the freezer for a couple of hours and then you get a bag of toffee bites. I look forward to them everyday, an if i go to the cinema or woteva i have something to nibble on. O and also with the carton drinks put them in the freezer for quite a few hours and they turn into ice cream! I hope this helps you all and good luck!

BUBBALOO I HAVE CAT U THERE

I WOULD REALLY APRECIATE THEM I HAVE JUST STARTED THEM AND MY HUBBY WHO IS WEIGHING IN AT 20 STONE I AM DOING IT TO SUPPORT HIM AND TO LOSE 2 STONE AS WEL.

Hi all,
Sorry for the hijack but I have 11 cd packs left over from when I was doing the diet and wondered if anyone would like them,before I throw them away.
They have a best before date as the end of this month but I would imagine they'll even be ok,going into November aswell.
If anyone wants them,please CAT me your address and I'll send them to you.

i have the same prob with u..i got it for a week now and im not able to do it..i desire pasta..chocolates..ice creams etc.. and really its not easy to start from the first week..i feel weak..i asked her today if i can have soem bars..i dont care if i lose 1 kg per week..no need for 3kg..slowly slwoly...this diet is so easy to lose kg but so easy to lose control as well..

Well done Ali. That's not much of a gain at all . Good luck for this week and remember to drink lots of water.

I've been avoiding the thread in shame .
I gained 10lbs during the 3 weeks I was off the diet and am really struggling to get back on track.

Last week I lost 4lb. I'm due to be weighed again tomorrow and don't know if I can bear to go as I've not lost anything.

Really need to knuckle down but it's so hard after all this time off.

where is everyone

back from holidays....gained 1,5kg only..im amazed as had sweets in my mouth all day long everyday for 2 weeks...lol...
well im back to cd and my councellor said is better if we start from week 1 again!!! aaaaaaa first week was hell dont wanna go through it again..but ihave to...
i think i need support or someone forcing me to do it..cos its like i dont have the power like b4...and she said i have to lose 3kg MINIMUM..it stresses me upp!!
helpppp

Ohhhh bugger. Have got my weigh in tomorrow after 3 weeks off and I'm dreading it.
I've gained well over half a stone .

Will report back.
