Step 1 Sole Source New team HARDCORE HOTTIES!!!

Scales looking amazing! 19st 4 Tuesday, 19st 1 last night, 18st 10 this morning, 18st 9 tonight!!! Day 3/106 nearly done and feeling pretty awesome, how is everyone else?
 
Well done Slim, keep going! I am feeling truly awesome - ketosis really does make me feel really damn good. I've missed it - is that even possible? 3 days done and the hunger and headaches have passed and I feel completely in control again and so much less bloated already. Was worried I would struggle to get back in to it, but I guess it comes down to the fact that I want this so damn badly that I am not going to let anything knock me off target!

Can't remember if I said - I am doing SS+. As I am on the brink of 5ft 8, 3 shakes is just not enough for me it seems. So I am doing a kind of mixed ss+, so some days I am having 4 shakes, and some days I am having 3 shakes and a meal (some days, I am on day 3 ffs!). I have seen absolutely no difference in weight loss between ss and ss+ for me, so I can see no point in putting myself through the extra stress of ss. I also know I can eat a meal within the guidelines of ss+ quite happily, stop at that and not crave anything else. My brain seems to be quite black and white when it comes to Cambridge (something I am very grateful for!) - while I am in hardcore mode, I just can't consider eating anything other than what I am allowed - I guess I have the 5 months earlier this year to thank for that!

Good for you! I'm so happy to hear stories like that! gives me hope.
My problem is more head hunger than anything else... as a snacker (and I mean constant) - the habit is very very hard to undo - as soon as i'm off cd it creeps up again. Being almost 6'1, I have the 4 packs on SS, but I feel very frustrated - and no amount of water will fill me up
I also travel a lot, so I'm up against water weight, bloating, time changes, different dietary modes :eek:
There is one positive benefit to CD that I will never argue though - My stomach feels sooo much better when empty, no cramps, no gas... just very gurgly!

I've mentioned this before, but I tend to have nightmares when on CD does this happen to anyone else?
I also tend to catch colds and flus more often... even though I take extra vitamins (I do think the lack of fruit and veggies is to blame).

Hang in there Slim.. got the same thing at home:angeldevil:
Even the new school year, and crap load of extra curricular activities doesn't seem to calm them down. I've had 2 nannies quit already, so I don't know what to do with them, they stress me out.
They're not rude or impolite, they're just very, very high maintenance - both of them in their own ways and the youngest does not know what NO or STOP means! He always has some comment to add, some exception to the rule - until you're so tired you want to scream.

As food reduction tends to make me slightly snappy the first couple of weeks :eek: They make me feel like moving off to some deserted island.
 
Well done Slim! Scales showing 18st 6lb this morning. I had to check. Three times. Then moved scales and checked again! That's 12lb so far this week :) 6lb more and I am back too where I was four months ago!

I don't get nightmares but I do get weird dreams. Tired today but back in size 16 jeans happy with that too!
 
Well done Slim and Cazza!! Good going!! I'm struggling to get my water in (what's new) and the internal battle of should I shouldn't I eat are raging on, but hopefully they'll quieter down soon and I'll be back in the swing.

I've spent most of the day looking at motivational pictures, trying to imagine finally getting to where I want to be! I need 4stone gone by Christmas. I can't spend another Christmas feeling miserable about how fat I am and thinking 'if only'.

Kids always seem to be twice as bad when we're stressed anyway because of the diet etc.I'm really amazed this time round that so far NOTHING has made me want to eat.I get the odd thought of "oh that looks nice" but that's about it.I have to say I've cooked and baked some nice stuff lately LOLThe kids have been most impressed.

The water thing is OK for me right now, it's the "to eat or not to eat" battle which is also consuming me! I feel good on CD, but the time I spend on thinking about food - that I'm not eating - is what KILLS me!

Won't give up though, esp with weekend coming along! I'm really counting on you to do the same, esp with your party on Saturday
 
I am doing ok with water. Also did two hours of martial arts tonight, which according to MFP burns over 2000cals. I have had an extra shake to compensate as was feeling a tad yucky when I finished! Have been doing the martial arts for months now, and was absolutely fine during the class (started it when on plan earlier in the year and so used to it I guess), but more worried about losing nutrients through sweat, hence the extra shake tonight!

Still feel good, all is good so far. Really looking forward to weigh in on Tuesday - I love first week weigh in!!! 16lb last time (23lb best ever) - wonder if I can beat that this week? Scales suggested 12lb off this morning, but not holding my breath, any loss is fab!
 
Yeah exercise and CD... I've always done it. It may slow my weightloss a little but I need it for my sanity.
I'm schedule to travel to NYC tomorrow ? was not planning on it for another 3 weeks!! Just feels sooo frustrating. Will try to check in over the next few days.
 
Exhausted and grumpy today. But pushing through!
 
Think you might be right! Feeling much better now - wrapped up in many clothes. More to the point it is nearly 8pm and I have had 2 tetra and just had my SS+ meal of some chicken breast and rocket. So still have one tetra left. Will have it very shortly or I will be up all night! End of day 6 - time really does fly on this diet. Not sure why today has been so tough really, but I made it through and that is what matters.
 
Hi all,

I have started doing SS again after an approximate 2 month break. I started doing two packs and meal, but it didn't work, so back to SS it is! I am finishing day three back on 100%. Today was a lot better than yesterday, so think I am over the hump :) I had far more energy today than yesterday.

Something that might be really nice for cwp coldness sufferers is a onsie... I found one a lovely one in next this weekend and bought it! It's lovely and warm and will help with being cold!

Good luck with the new week coming up!
 
Hi Sunflower, the onesie brought a smile to my face!!! I remember I had one during my first cd round. That and the electric blanket in bed!!

Didn't know you'd switched, anyhoo, i see you slipped right back in. Go you!!
Have a great week, I'm off today for the noisy bustling city that is NYC. Fashion week is on!
