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".

Yes the session really, some of the stuff the counsellor talked about.
It's around 72 pounds a week...expensive but if I work out how much I was spending on food and takeaways its probably the same

The packs are ok just thinking of them as almost just nutrients rather than food.
It's nice ATM not to have the constant food thought whirring around my head IYSWIM?

Lost 3 lb! Woo hoo

That's 18lbs in 5 weeks! Another 10lb to go!

Still don't see it, when I look in the mirror still she the old me

Good luck everyone!

Xxxxx

Excellent Elder :)

Chesty thank you for your reply :)

Do you use the LL forum yet?

I would not post my losses here as I would be told off because of huge losses in tbe first month as I am huuuge :)

I too am huge sole go oooon, tell us!

I browse it sometimes, there's a group on FB too.

Felt a bit dizzy when got up this morning but do far do good.

That's great elder

Pming you chesty :)

Thanks guys, can't wait to eat again......

Xx

How far you got to go Elder? :)

I'm not hungry....oh no I'm not!

I've got 10lbs to lose, another 4 weeks, want to stop on Halloween!

Chestynut- it gets better, I promise. Once the weight starts dropping, you feel great- I just keep visualising Christmas dinner

Xx

Me too elder!

Shouldn't really tho? Been writing virtual lists in my head

Anyone around?

Had a dream lastnight had eaten, was really vivid and I was sobbing that I had ruined it all already

Oh dear, what a dream to have :(

Been at work, hence y I didn't post earlier!

Chin up, they do say that dreams are the way the brain gets rid of rubbish :)

Yes I guess so.

Have you had an ok day? Ive felt dizzy and nauseous on and off.

It is hard, sometimes I do feel quite dizzy, so have some cheese- helps a bit.

It's even harder with DD1 & 2 :)

Stick with it, but if you start feeling really ill, then eat something. It takes time for the body to adjust sugar levels etc....

(Hugs) xxxx

Im doing LL elder so only have packs, no cheese for me ( although I'd love some)

Hoping it passes as body gets used to it.

Isn't LL. the same, putting yourself into ketosis?

Xx

Yes but also Very Low Calorie. So only packs x

Ok, doing the CD dIet ss which is just 3 packs a day and plenty of water! But I have eaten the odd bit of cheese, because I felt so ill! :(

Have a Chinese meal tonight! Spoke to my CDC and she said go for it, I won't actually eat much

Will see when I get weighed on weds.
Xx

Did you enjoy it elder?

I'm a kind of all or nothing girl, a cube of cheese would result in me stuffing my face all day as I'd "ruined" it anyway.

Feel ok today so far

It was ok, I only ate half what I normally do...stomach felt rotten afterwards, think its because you get used to not eating and your stomach shrinks.

Also I think it messes with your mind, at times.

Hope today is going ok.

Xx

Weigh in soon.

Dum Dum Duuuuuum

How is everyone??

Ooh good luck!

My stomach has been killing me since I ate :( getting back to normal now :)

Post soon as you know! Xxx

13 pounds off

Hope you're feeling better.

well done chesty!

(I'm still here btw, just not been doing so well lots of crisps . BUT, haven't put anything on, in fact have lost 1lb a week for the past two weeks, so I'm 18lbs down in total, with another 28 to go. I need to lose 4lbs this week and next to get me back to my 2lbs a week schedule, and then factor in a weekend away in a posh hotel in a month's time.

This week is going to be focused though [drinks another pint of water])

Well done chesty, that's a huge amount to lose in one week, hope your not feeling too shaky, and things are settling down. Xx

Ishall- yep crisps, at the moment I'm just licking them at the moment! Good luck for the 4lbs this week! Xx

My weigh in is tomorrow, not sure as had a Chinese on Friday :( will post as soon as I know. Xx
