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".

Well done on the greatlosses everyone.

Congratulations Juma!

Have had an ok week, had something to eat yesterday at my mams jubilee party, but she practically force fed me it . Hoping for a loss on Friday, but doubtful since I have not managed to drink all my water for the past few days. No idea why as usually don't struggle.

Hi everybody! Wow aren't we doing well! Some serious losses here, fabulous, it's so nice to hear I'm not doing it alone:) week 4 and I'm down 22lbs, and counting. I started at 15 stone, am down to 13 st 6 and have 8 weeks left. Am aiming for a happy 11 stone, we will see!! Fingers crossed. It's been alright lately except for the fact that I have a boutique bakery and specialise in chocolate and working on our range so have REALLY been tempted a lot lately:( tough times. Being around cake,cookies and brownies and chocolate all the time drives me bonkers I feel. And I cook for my husband every night and stare at him eating nice dinners like a homeless dog, feeling like I could just uncontrollably gobble everything on his plate if I lost the tinyiest but of control. Anyone miss food too? Love Banana shakes though, and love not feeling horribly fat and ugly! We can do it!!

Wow, well done cakehappy! . Keep strong, I want to keep up the maintenance on this diet already for the fact that I feel so much better and not like a food addicted eat/sleep zombie any more.

My consultant is on holiday this week and today's my weigh in, so I'm going to go find somewhere and weigh myself. I don't own scales! Should I do it or am I being naughty?

Good morning everyone, Cakehappy you must have a will of iron, well done!
Chuffmuffin - when my consultant went of holiday she asked me to weigh myself and then text her with the result. We did however, check our scales at the start, and I know mine weigh half a pound lighter than hers.
My weigh in today as well - not expecting too much as I lost 4.5lbs last week, fingers crossed.
Have a good day

Hello everyone.

Weigh in today and I lost 2.5lb. Not bad given the Jubilee street party lamb chop fiasco, but I kind of got used to losing over three pounds a week so can't help but feel a little disappointed with myself.

Never mind - onwards and downwards! I am loving fitting into my next cargo trousers that I haven't been able to get near me for quite some time...

Have a great day everyone. xx

Bloody hell cakehappy you have some iron will!

at lamb chop fiasco. I am the same with pork chops, luckily never been within close range of one yet.

I keep thinking today is Tuesday, and then realising its Thursday, so WI for e tomorrow. lets hope the cheese pie and chocolate browni has not done too much damage. Resigned myself to no loss this week though, given half term is always stressful for me.

Grrrrrrr I'm so disappointed in myself!!
Last night I made my OH his fav Spag Bol for dinner and decided I would try my Spicy Tomato soup (trying to kid myself its a bit like spag bol) lol.
And even the smell was revolting - but I tried to drink some and after 2 spoonfuls I couldn't stomach any more - so I decided to have some cucumber sticks... this is ok your thinking... until I picked up a teaspoon and ate about 10 spoons of the left over bolgnese meat still in the wok :(
I'm so mad today incase this stalls me - the mince was extra lean but still has fat and obv the sauce is tomato based which is not allowed!!
WHY WHY WHY!!!

Lesson to be learned any left overs that are not going on his plate to go straight into the bin!! I was doing so well :(

Well I thought as much - a 'stay the same' result for me this week. Should really have got weighed tomorrow, but hey ho - knuckling down to a good nine days till my next weigh in.
Seems like this Jubilee business has thrown a few of us off the straight and narrow - Thank you Ma'am.

Hi Time

Leftovers are a killer. I can't have them sitting on the side or they play tricks with my head, so they have to go out of sight in a tupperware in the fridge for someone else or straight in the bin.

At least it was a teaspoon not a tablespoon!

Oh and Juma I would consider a stay the same a victory given your early weigh in and your activities this week!

Squirt fairly liquid in leftovers straight away time
Don't beat yourself up over it.
You had a blip have learned from it and back in the wagon

Juma much better than a pound on though :)

I weighed myself on Boots scales, no idea how accurate they are, but according to them I've lost another 5lbs this week. 17lbs in 3 weeks. and I've only got 11lbs to target!

Hi all, still here! Not been weighed for a week - CD consultant is away on holiday - I think I am not getting toward 3.5 stone. Will try and get to 4, then intend to switch to something else - our budget is very tight and simply can't afford to stay on CD much longer. Currently on Step 3 (minus some carbs), which I think I can probably do myself without the shake (Atkins bars are low carb and much, much cheaper!), so considering a reduced carb diet, which essentially is what Cambridge is in later stages. Hope all is well out there !

Not s bad as I thought, 2lbs off, so 18lbs so far. Really need to tay on track this week and not faulter as need to lose at least 2 stone by the beginning of August.

I CAN do this, I NEED to do this.

5inthebed, do it!! You can do it, one day at a time. When you want to cheat, promise yourself you'll cheat tomorrow, then the same the next day and so on till you're a skinny mini!imagine how GREAT that's gonna be!

Hello! Well done 5inthe, you must be seeing a difference now!
Hi Cockneydad - how many products do you have on step 3? Know what you mean about costs - I've noticed CWP does seem to be more expensive than similar diet products - Good luck
Have a good week end

Is anyone around still?

Been really hungry today and feel really nauseous and abdo pains for last hour or so. Has anyone else had this on TFR?

Tmi warning

Have " been" to the toilet once in two weeks....anyone else?

How are you this morning pbcc?

Abdo pains could be constipation. Get something from chemist for that as must be uncomfortable. I am no as regular as I usually am, but definitely not two weeks.

Hi 5 feel a lot better this morning just uncomfortably hungry

Have been taking dulcoease to no effect.

I'm on holiday this week and ready to go back now, boredom is making me extra hungry.

Are yu on SS or SS+?

I find having a bar every now and again help as they have more fibre in than the sachets.

I'm Doing LL 5

Ah yes, of course

How is everyone getting on? Very quiet, have you all fallen off the wagon?

Hi 5inthe, I'm still here - another Sunday another challenge. Big family gathering & lunch out. Managed ok though, just had a pile of beautiful tender turkey with spring cabbage and turnip. Gave away Yorkshire pud,roast pots,mash etc etc. but I really enjoyed it, had a coffee when others were having a pudding so all in all it wasn't too bad. The best bit though - I've tried on the size 12 linen dress that's been waiting for me and it fits!!!!!!!! Also my (pregnant) daughter has given me a pair of Levi jeans size 12 and they fit too!!!!
With regard to the 'lack of action' in the toilet dept. - I've found that taking 2 Senokot tablets once a week has sorted me out.
Take care all

I'm still alive!

Had a chicken salad that was coated in breadcrumbs yesterday. Tried to get most of the crispy off but it wasn't happening. So I ate them. And today I've been fantasizing all day about a burger and chips from the takeaway! I managed to make DP a big chocolate cake for his birthday on Thursday and I hadn't even thought about eating it until he said do you want some, but a miniscule amount of breadcrumbs and I'm salivating over burgers and chips! In fact, it's just the onions I want to eat

I've got a dress for a wedding in August that I got a few months ago, the zipper wouldn't even go halfway up my back. It fits me perfectly now, I hope it's not too big when I get to goal.

Dying to be able to do some exercise and tone up.

Apart from that, that's it from my boring week!
