Sole Source Diet - CD/Exante/LL/ANY - 2012 thread 2

[DucketyDuckDuck]

This is a thread for all those embarking on, continuing and returning to Sole Source type Diets.

For some of us, its the only way to go. As the saying goes "it works if you work it".

Juma Oops sorry forgot to say! I've lost a stone and a half (21lbs) in 5 weeks. I am so glad I started the Cambridge. I've had a lot of time to think about the amount of pure rubbish I eat. No wonder I was fat. And I thought it was genetics

I bet sole source is very tough :(

Morning ,hope everyone has a lovely weekend ,day 6 today on SS and feeling good :) I work a lot so this helps me not think about eating :)

SoleSource, just a recommendation, try not to go overboard on the carbs today and tomorro as you'll find it harder to get into the diet. Good luck for Monday.

Thank you 5inthebedPPA and hello :)

Hi everybody i'm off on holiday in 16 weeks and aiming to lose asnear as i can to 98lb. :)

This forum is really quiet today :(

I will need lots of support and posts here to help me on my journey.

Is there a FB page going for us all or shall I set one up?

there we can post how we're doing, post pics, quotes etc

It is quiet, no idea where everyone is.

There is a CD forum if you want to post pics etc. Don't feel comfortable using FB pages tbh.

I have jsut over what you need to lose to lose myself, have lost 24 lbs so far, have a had a few blips though, so could have done better.

A closed group where obody can see unless one allows?

24lb is fab 5inthebed WD!

are you on SS?

Im doing SS+, cldnt cope on SS alone.

Good morning all,well I've had a fab London weekend - mostly off the programe (bad, bad, bad) but today I'm straight back on track - phew! TBH, I don't feel all that good - I guess a combination of suddenly eating carbs & sugars plus no where near enough water (just one small glass of wine though). I feel really lethargic today and I'm looking forward to a day of CD products! - never though I'd hear myself saying that!
Hi solesource hope it's going OK.
5inthe- you've lost the same as me - hope you're ok?

Hi Juma and all.

Weekend in London sounds lovely. Got a birthday next week and dh keeps asking me what I want to do. Maybe a trip up to town would be good.

Dilemma today. After a really good loss last week, I don't think I've lost anything this week (sausages and scrambled egg yesterday not helping....). So do I cancel going to my weigh in tomorrow? I've got enough products to last another week but am I just being a chicken? Would it be the start of a slippery slope if I don't force myself to go??

Hello :)

Still waiting for DR to fill in forms

Hi all -
I'm still here... just
Losing faith in myself and my consultant! She has no time for me last weeks weigh in was in and out within 2 mins, today she just let me know shes double booked me so i'll have to come in 5mins earlier at 5.10 so as not to clash with her 5.15 appointment. So looks like i'll be in and out again with no chat, no advice, no support.
The last 3 weeks I've been given at least 1 product thats been put of date (and not just out of date from as far back as February!) Last week I found THREE products out!
As I'm losing faith I'm finding it easier to start picking as I've got no one checking up on me - no one asking how I've been getting on at weigh in - I lost 12lbs in my first 3 weeks... weigh in 4 in tonight... although I'm not looking forward to it... I'm doing ss+ but yesterday I had a tablespoon of mash with my dinner.... and just now I ate a tuna sandwich!
WHY? I feel awful for it first bit of bread for over 4 weeks and I dont even feel good for having it... great!

Sorry for the long depressing post I just dont know if this diets for me any more.

Change Consuktant, you owe her no loyalty. She is crap!

Hi busyhouse, GO!! I'm the same, I'm pretty sure I've put on after this weekend but if I don't go (tomorrow) the rot sets in and before you know where you're at you're looking at a half a stone back on. It's a pain, I know, but it's got to be worth it:)
Got myself a lovely red dress this weekend and even if I say so myself - I look pretty thin in it!
Hey morganvan, hope your night out went well, even if you were the 'designated driver'

Hi ,first weigh in ,lost 9lbs ,so happy :) took me 5 days to lose the headaches and giddiness but great now ,not hungry at all .Time2slim you need to change consultants ,one who will help you .dont give up I did four months ago and if I had stuck it out would not be here now !

WD! Morgan :) 5 days to lose 9lb too? :)

Hi. Can I join too?
Seeing a cd consultant this evening, hoping to lose about two stone and am inspired by reading about all of your success already!

Hi time2, you've got to change consultants I'm afraid - it's hard enough without her jeopardising your diet.Just as a bit of a comparison - mine never gives me less than half an hour, even if the next person turns up early, she asks them to wait in her conservatory, some people come in two's and she gives them a discount, she noticed that a box of shakes was 1 day out of date and she gave a lot of us a couple free of charge to get rid of them, she gives small prizes when you reach each stone, she makes up little packs of 6 ketostix free of charge, plus a real interest in YOU, she even texted me when she was on her hols cruising the Med! She has been a consultant for 10 years and knows the programme inside out, she also happens to be a very nice person - she even makes sure that she's not cooking dinner/lunch etc when she has clients calling. What a Star!

Hi Georgie and welcome :) I'm new too, joined erm about 2 days ago. You got your forms signed yet by GP? (if you need to).

Busyhouse Go, but don't get weighed, it's not necessary if you feel it would hinder you.

Juma I am ok thanks, have had a great weekend, even managed to avoid a marvelous buffet today at a conference I went to. Hope your little weekend trip didn't have too much of t on your WL.

Time2Slim, change consultants!

Thanks for the welcome.

Oh she never said anything about forms when I e-mailed? Is that necessary (I hate the doctors and haven't been for years!)

I think it depends on which plan you want to do. My GP took my forms and has gone on holiday and forgot to tell me! grr

Time2Slim Change consultants, you're paying for a service and she can't even be bothered to give you 10 minutes?? That's terrible! Take your money elsewhere .

Morganvan Congrats! That's fabulous! It's so worth getting past the "zombie" stage, things can only get better now!

GeorgieWilson Hi! Welcome! It's taken me about 6 weeks to lose 2 stone, which was what I wanted to lose, so it is very possible. I got told off at the weekend by my granddad and he made me promise that "I musn't lose any more!". He is 87 though .

This weekend we realised that since January, my mum, sister and I have lost over 100lbs between us. That is amazing. And when I get to my goal and on maintenance I'm definitely going to get started as a Cambridge consultant.

Wow chuff 100 pounds between you is amazing, well done!

Sole source that is really annoying about the doctor. My consultant never mentioned it so I' m just going to crack on. She lost 6 stone on the plan so that's encouraging. Dreading feeling rubbish for the first few days.

I agree time you need to change consultants!

Hi everyone.

So thank you to Juma and 5itb for the kick up the backside to go see my consultant today. Despite a dodgy week I lost 1.75lb, which I'm really pleased with.

Can wear my size smaller bra today without a roll of back fat bulging out underneath, so that's another small victory!

My consultant has said she is starting a weekly exercise class for Cambridge dieters on 11 July. Mostly ball work and kettle bells, and all suitable for sole sourcers. I might just be brave enough to go.

Welcome GeorgieWilson. Hope you see your consultant soon. I think you only need doctor permission if your BMI is over 40. I was 39.9 so scraped in under the wire!
