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".

busyhouse that is fab and rare for Consultants to do that. Embrace it and swap numbers with people there :) You'll learn a fab routine to continue at home.

Just realised 11th July is the kids school concert so don't think I'm going to be able to make the new class.

Next time you could go :) Is she charging an extra fee? I think it is really exciting.

Well done Busyhouse!

I had to buy myself a new pair of jeans today while in the town with DH as my favourite jeans I had on were slipping down . And tey fit without me having to shoehorn myself in them! So came home and tried the smaller jeans I bought the other week and they fit nicely as well

Welcome Georgie. You only have to have the docs consent if you are BMI over 40 or have anything on the medical list the consultants have.

Hello, my little London jaunt cost me a one pound gain! Hey ho! The only problem is that I'm going back down today to the Harry Potter Studios and staying till Friday - so probably another pound gain. Not freaking out too much though, coz I know that a good week on the plan and it'll disappear:)
It's the first diet I have ever had real confidence in :) If you stick to it it works, and works well. Be back to chat at the week end, so you all be good (even though I'm not going to be haha!)

Not sure whether I said welcome to georgie or not - so welcome aboard georgie.

I start tomorrow :)

WD! Juma x

Hello, can I join you all?

Well, it's day 6 for me today on SS - I have 3 packets a day and my water and that's it. I have lost 5lbs so far... am 5 ft 4 and weighed in at a depressing 12 stone 4 and this morning I was 11 stone 13. This is unofficial of course - my 'proper' weigh in is on Monday. I seriously doubt I can hold out that long but hope springs eternal!

My ultimate goal is 10 stone 'something' I suppose. I am currently a size 12/14 and would love to be a comfortable size 12. Another stone should do this.

How are you all doing?

Thats not too bad Juma. Enjoy Harry Potter land, am quite at you going, would love to go.

Welcome Alice . The first week is always the hardest, especially if you're sociable at the weekend. Good luck!

Good Luck for starting today SoleSource. Take aech hour as it comes.

Have a great time Juma; Harry Potter Land is just fab!

Welcome Alice. Sounds like you've made a great start.

Lunch with my aunty today in a Lebanese salad bar. Delicious but naughty - I ate loads of tomatoes in the salad and I'm sure my councillor said they take you out of ketosis. All I can taste is garlic so DH is going to be less than delighted with my breath when he gets home! I was having such a good week, so back to the grindstone tomorrow for sure.

Hope today has been bearable solesource.

Hello, I've been waiting impatiently to join!

Ive just had my first CWP consultation. I'm 12 st 5.6, 5' 5" and size 14 or 16.

I want to get cracking straight away, but am going to a friends house for the weekend and my consultant advised me to wait until Monday to start due to me having to drive quite a long way, and with a full bladder and possibly being lightheaded etc.

So I've got all my products waiting, Im going to try and up the water and lower the carbs over the weekend in preparation.

Might have to sell my life on eBay so I can afford this plan though.

Welcome pip! Frustrating about having to wait to start but bring good over the weekend is bound to help to!

General question - what's the rule on milk on sole source, I'm desperate for proper tea, black just isn't doing it for me. Is one or two cups with a tiny bit of milk a no no?

It's a no I think. I was told you can only have milk if you have it instead of your 200 cal meal (I'm on SS+)

Georgie, you can do SS+ wih 200ml of milk, so if you want to do that, it's not a problem.

Welcome PippiL. definitely give the weekend a miss and start Monday. That way you can have a nice weekend before starting.

Hello!

I've just started Tony Ferguson. Did Lighter Life quite a few years ago and it really worked for me. I put the weight back on when I had DS though and am still carrying it 2yrs later.

I don't feel like I need to go through the meetings again- I find them a bit cringey- so I'm going to save myself some money and use TF. Just trialled some packs and they are not completely hideous pretty tasty. The shakes cook nicely into a muffin which is what I like to do with them so I think TF will be a go-er!

Hello and welcome EBD.

Feeling really good today. Got my size 16 trousers out and thought I'd try them on to see if I could judge how many weeks to go until they fitted. Guess what - they did!! I am a happy girl. So long Evans, I am no longer trapped in your polyester, I can shop anywhere!

Now just got to carry on losing from my enormous boobs so that I can wear smaller tops. Gone from a 46F to 40DD and that's looking a bit gappy, so maybe there's hope!

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Thanks

I'm not looking forward to the next 3-4 days very much but I know it will be so much better on the other side.

Morning all.

Starting today. Have driver aware course tomorrow morning for 4hours. Bit concerned about getting through that still awake, and without 35 trips to the loo. Bad timing, but never mind.

How's everyone doing?

Welcome EBD. Tell me how to make muffins please. Good luck in starting.

I had a very naughty weekend, spent mostly eating and drinking

Back on track now though.

Didn't get weighed on Friday as my consultants scales were broken.

Hi 5intb. A weekend off sounds rather attractive!

Weigh in tomorrow. Maybe my consultant's scales will be broken too....

hehe busyhouse, was rather good, but feeling it today. I am hungry, want to eat :(

Day one was really not too bad. I even took the kids to Maccy Ds as a treat while we were in Oxford and I admit I was mildly tempted and the smell was difficult, but then I remembered how I feel after, and I got through it.

I was ready for some griddled chicken and green veg by 6.30.

Wasn't even that hungry for my last shake of the day just now. I'm guessing tomorrow might be harder!

Oh, apple and cinnamon porridge, bleugh. Nearly chundered.

Well done Pippi. I find that whisking the porridge before and after it's microwaved makes it more edible.

You do get used to the flavours of everything, even looking forward to them.

Day 3 will probably be your worse, so take it hour by hour.

Good luck.

'Muffin' is extending the truth a bit TBH 5inthebed.

Mix a sachet with a very small amount of water so it makes a thick paste in the bottom of a large ramekin. Stick itin the microwave for a few seconds (about 30). It 'cooks' a bit like scrambled egg.

I just prefer to eat the shakes solid- I'm not keen on the texture otherwise. Some brands of sachet 'cook' with better results than others.

First two days have been ok here. Headaches in the evenings but otherwise going pretty well.

Hello

I am upping my protien intake today and water consumption in preperation to start very soon.

Exciting

You're all doing great.

I'll be posting A LOT so be prepared :)

Hello everyone.

Well maybe my consultant's scales were broken, because according to her I lost 5.25 lbs last week. Bloody marvellous!

This is my 12th week, so she says I have to go up to Step 2 for a week which I'm a bit worried about. At the moment I never feel hungry, so I don't want to eat and then get myself out of ketosis. Does anyone on here do it?

Have a great day.
