SS+ or Step 2

[Mia]

Hi,

I'm no stranger to CWP but have always followed Sole Source. However I have come to realise that this may not be the way forward for me. I tend to go straight back to normal eating after I have lost the weight and end up putting it straight back on again.

I am going to try a different approach and give either SS+ of Step 2 a go. The problem is, I don't know how to do it. I dont know what I can eat, or how much etc.

I should imagine there are loads of threads about this somewhere but can't find them at the moment. Could someone please advise or point me in the right direction? Thanks

Hi Jackie,

Sorry its taken me so long to reply, after posting and receiving no replies I just stopped looking in. Soooooo, thank you so much for responding to me

I piled the weight back on - haven't even weighed myself because I am too scared. I am so big and uncomfortable. Had a surprise holiday last month (ie. paid for and flew out to Egypt 8 days later ) and I have never felts so uncomfortable on holiday. Never again.

I was ill over the Bank Holiday, I actually drove myself to hospital at 7.30 a.m. on BH Monday. Today I have been diagnosed with having 'a' gallstone - just the one I think lol. So, even thought I was thinking of doing SS+, I have decided that's the route I am definitely going to take. Starting Monday.

Wish I was going to Spain. I know I had a week lying in the sun doing nowt but I think I need another holiday already lol.

I am so depressed Jackie, you are right, I do do all the hard work then put it on again, its a question I ask myself constantly - why oh why????

Thanks for your response, I am gonna give it a good go and will let you know how I get on xx
You stick in too, you know you can do it. Think of your bikini

Hi Miriam
wow sounds dream holiday and paid for too , I know you thought you were not going away this year , think that's the key with you , if you know your going away you do keep it off and then come back and go back to eating , but you know you can do it , its thinking on the holiday how good you will feel , yes i'm going away big , i'm 235 today have lost but its nothing near where i'd like have 8 weeks well just under .
I think since the site changed things don't get seen on here like before , people say this .
The Gallstones , did they say it was todo with weight loss of vlcd ?
My mia gone back to school today , its been a long school holiday i'm about to visit the secondary schools this month .... as shes in her last year .
aww sorry to hear your feeling down , life can have its ups and downs , think maybe when we feel down we stop caring about ourselves and weight goes on , think of it as tempory only and life will get better ....
So the ss plus your going to have a go at , yes put yourself on a plan and if you do have a day that's strays .... theres always another to make it 100% .
So have you started ss plus Miriam ? i'm on exante , just going with each day as it comes , with me I find the scales tend to play a huge part in me giving up when ive been good and the scales show no loss also I mentaly miss food after few weeks , I really am hoping to be able to make a dent in this 8 weeks .
yes keep me posted and post away
