Step 1 Sole Source Gemma's Journey

[Gemzo84]

Good evening!

I'm seeing a CWPC on Friday evening however I have said I don't want to start until next Tuesday as day 3 will be my day off and I imagine il be the worst then. She is mobile so it's good that she can come to mine I'm looking forward to starting it but also nervous, I'm a real foodie but feel that when I get down to my desired weight then il be able to manage it better. I do 4 ten hour shifts a week, so it can be hard going especially by the end of the day all I want to do is eat.

My boyfriend is really skinny but can eat anything in sight but luckily supportive . I see your moving soon.. a hectic time I'm sure you will be busy enough so you can stay on track! I would love to start on the bars but I've read some consultants can be really tough lol!

My goals are to lose around 2 stone (hopefully) for my cousins wedding in may. she is getting married in Cyprus and there's quite a few family members going. I don't have any other plans really for the rest of the year but id like to stay slim so I don't start 2014 on another diet!!

Any tips on how you have came this far? sachets to avoid? etc x alli x

Hey Alli
That's great your booked to see your CWPC on Friday and decided to start on Tuesday. Mine is also mobile which is great and she also does a drop in on a Wednesday night. I'm the exact same as you love food love cooking love eating so its a daunting thought going in this diet but its very doable I promise you... I also feel when I'm at my target weight I will be able to manage it better with healthier choices and exercise.
This is so funny my boyfriend is 6ft 4 and built like a bean pole lol eats for Britain and doesn't gain an ounce!!
I waited 2 weeks before having the bars but they are with the wait, loving them all
For me personally I hated the porridge, like most of the soups and love all the shakes favourite being the cappuccino, these are best blended with water and Ice to make them thick and creamy. You can also make them with hot water to have like a hot chocolate for example which is nice too. And you can make them into a mousse which i also love. The tetras are the carton shakes, I didn't like them they have a aftertaste yuk! Although some people live on them, I suppose it's all down to personal preference.
Hope this helps, keep me posted how your getting on xx

Yeah you should be proud of making a better choice, got my fingers crossed for you that you get that 3lb loss on Wednesday
Yeah I'm really hoping for a big 1 this time as its a full 2 weeks in between. Defos a buzz to see the scales move down each time.
Oh that sounds like it will be a fun weekend with your friends, will you guys be out eating and drinking I take it yeah? You'll just need to make some smart choices and you'll be fine x

Morning!!
I managed to resist weighing this morning so fingers crossed ill have a nice surprise tomorrow not a crappy one!! Haha!
Yes its a full on weekend next weekend, my OH wants us to have a 'date night' because we never go out anymore so were doing cinema and a meal out ( i thought this weekend was the best time to do date night seeing as i would be eating that weekend anyway, so its not 2 weekends of eating then, if that makes sense :S) so thats friday night and then Saturday we are going out for lunch and then watch the rugby with a few drinks and then back to the hotel to change for going out in the night, and theres no way i will be able to get back on it on Sunday. i have the worse hangovers ever and everyone will want food somewhere on the way back (excuses) Basically its going to be a reaaaally bad weekend but hey i dont have weekends like that often so im not to bothered about it, aslong as im dont go back over 12stone its okay,, i never want to see that number again!!
You will deffo get a big loss next time you weigh hun, your doing so good

 

[allibongo123]

I cant wait to start now, I'm looking forward to it but just know the first few days are going to be hell!! lol. Ive told my friends this weekend is my last night out in a while so hopefully wont be too tempted in a few weeks! (weekends are so boring when theres not alot to do!) I will just need to have my water bottle with me at every spare minute when i'm at work.
I have read a few people saying they blend their shakes with ice so I will have to give that a go. I didnt take any porridge sachets last time, not a lover of porridge but i'l give it a shot. I actually quite like the chocolate tetras, i'l prob have one of them every morning before work as they are the easiest to have I guess.
Thank you hope you've had a good day xx

Will cross that bridge when i come to it!!

Hello dear
Aww fantastic on getting your 3lb loss, that's great news 12's are definitely gone now . Not so great about your little binge, when you say binge did you just have a meal or eat everything and anything all night? Lol because if you only had a meal that's not a binge. Do you feel like you really need food in your life over and above the products?
Your a busy lady over the next few weeks with a your nice social events, my next 1 is next Wednesday night after weigh in I'm going out for a family meal - scary!! x

Thankyou
Okay i suppose it wasnt a binge then it just felt like one because i couldn't put the food down, i probably ended up eating a big portion of toad in the hole picking more and more each time and then after that i was just fed up so had 7 wine gums too....so a fairly mini binge but still i shouldnt have done it!
No i dont feel i need food BUT i want food its natural isnt it, craving things that you know you cant have!! Not good!
Glad to hear your doing so good!
Cant wait ti hear your next loss next week - itll be brilliant!

Day 34

Good Evening fellow dieters
Hope you've all had a great day

Breakfast - Strawberry Mousse
Lunch - Mushroom Soup
Diner - Mint Chocolate Bar
2 coffees, 3 teas (with skimmed milk) 3.5L water.

Tomorrow I'm going for lunch with my sister :O what to do? What to eat? Why do we get scared of food? I've went online and checked out the menu so how does tandoori chicken skewer starter with a side salad sound? Think it would pass as a soul source plus meal??? Help x

Hi Gemz,

Glad you have had a good day, you must be so proud of how far you have come I can't really comment about the food, but generally reading through the posts that seems ok. can you go to a harvester? someone was on about having plain chicken. try to relax though.. but not go too mad lol

I went out today and bought a blender, it's all ready and waiting in my kitchen for the first use! really looking forward to starting now, been going through loads of posts and everyone seems to have excellent results xx

Hiya Alli
It's just a local restaurant were going to, if I stick to plain protein and green leaves I can't go wrong I suppose lol...
Oh well done you, that blender will become the most important thing in your kitchen over the next few months, it truly does make the shakes thick n creamy when blended with water and ice.
This time next week you'll be 3 days in
Yeah the results are noticeable from week 1 it's great xx
