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".

You're not meant to do excecise when doing CD, someting to do with muscle wastage.

I did find thought that when I used a virbating plate I lost at least 2lbs more when I didn't.

5inthebed · 31/05/2012 17:31

*2lbs more then when I didn't use it.

DucketyDuckDuck · 31/05/2012 18:04

Oooo, callanetics, I used to love that! Might give it another go.

I'm doing Exante! Love it. But have had a couple of slip ups, but thats my doing nothing to do with the diet!

Just got back from seeing my consultant. Lost 5lb. That's 12lb in two weeks Grin. 16lb to go. And thank god I now have the water flavour!

I swapped my soups for shakes because I was forgetting to have the soups, just like a flavoured bowl of water really.

She's off for two weeks now so I'm excited to see what I weigh when she gets back.

Hi Everyone,

Feel bit down today just had my weigh in and I have not lost any weight at all. I have stayed the same although I have been exercising and drinking shakes all week. Need to hit it hard again really as had a BBQ last week (naught I know) and it is my partners bday today so going out tonight :(

I have only lost a stone in a month is that good? How does that compare to everyone elses weight loss??

God I need to get back in the zone..........on the upside I bought a lovely dress and I feel good in t for tonight woooooo

Lucy xx

JubileeSchmoobilee · 02/06/2012 10:10

Thanks everyone (it's me, 5ITB)

Well done Juma! You've done amazing.

LucyLoo, try not to be deflated by a wekk of no loss. It may be that you are due on, it may be becaseu you've not drunk enough water, it may be because you are excercising (not meant to be done until you step up). Give it another week, you may fidn you haver a significent loss next week.

Feeling fantastic this morning. Have bought my bridemaid dress for my sisters wedding in a smaller size I am now so need to stay positive and keep going!

cockneydad · 02/06/2012 17:59

Hi Lucy - I was losing 2-4 pounds a week and then hit a plateau - went up to Step 2, was OK for a bit,now another stall. It happens sometimes. I have however, lost 3 stone 3lb in 3 and half months. A stone a month is good going!

PeanutButterCupCake · 04/06/2012 10:34

Morning first WI today

12lb off Smile

Juma · 04/06/2012 11:01

Hi Peanut - that's fantastic! Now you know why you had no energy lol!

Misssss · 04/06/2012 13:09

Just had first weigh in after first full week of Slim & Save. Drumroll please... Lost 19lbs! Amazed. Even went to check at boots incase my scales were broken. So happy, am massive though so can't tell "see" the loss at the moment.

ChuffMuffin · 04/06/2012 13:46

Wow peanut and missssss that is fantastic! Congratulations! Grin

Peanut do you feel more motivated now? :)

Misssss that is phenomenal! Never heard of S&S but it must be good stuff.

Had a weekend of eating out and I stuck to my plan as well as I could! Totally plain tuna nicoise salad at Pizza Express and mixed leaf salad with plain chicken at Nandos yesterday. The only thing I had to control myself with was the dough sticks at Pizza Express, wasn't really arsed about anything else. Baguettes or chewy bread I could eat until the cows come home, not cos of the bread but the texture!

PeanutButterCupCake · 04/06/2012 23:32

COR miss that is fab Envy

Onwards and downwards chuff

Was worth it juma

timetoslim is it WI day?

Time2slim · 06/06/2012 08:29

Wow Peanut!! Thats amazing!
I had my first WI on Sunday and I've lost 7lbs!! Very happy with this as my first week was TOTM :( so my CC thinks it could of been a pound or 2 more but I was aiming for 7lbs so I'm very happy!!

Misssss that is crazy!! over a stone in a week!! Well done I bet someones not struggling for motivation!! lol.

Lucy - a Stone a month is average for these diets so dont feel disheartened you are right on track - well done keep it up!!

How did everyone survive the long weekend?
I kept myself away from celebrations and took the time to give the house and garden a good go over!! and boy am I glad I did the place looks great :)

Juma · 06/06/2012 10:48

Good morning, well done time2, great loss!.
The best I can hope for is to stay the same this week! Been to various events for the Jubilee, then my own 35th Wedding Anniversary, finding out that I'm going to be a Grandparent for the first time Shock, plus my mothers 80th Birthday and a very surprise visit from my sister who lives in Newfoundland PLUS I have to get weighed a day early - don't stand a chance really ha ha!
