Step 1 Sole Source Starting CWP today to save my health

[Tangles]

Thanks spammie19
I will try the choc mint warm - do you just microwave it or make it with hot water? Today i've decided on the berry one... hope its ok... i'm sat next to a baking kilm wilting so really hope it does the trick to convince me i'm having a lovely smoothy lol

I've not made a plan yet as to how long on sole source. I keep telling myself day by day.... i'm only on day 2 though so i've not had to tell myself it that often.

Hope you feel better soon...!

Thanks tangles hoping get a dr app today!! Really not feeling it today but must plow on!!!

The choc mint shake I jus use warm water. Not really hot. I personally didn't like the fruits of the forest. I'm sooo fussy it's unreal!! Did your consultant give you ketostix to test? You got through day 1 so well done!!! My day 2 was bad but once over that day I've been fab! It does get easier so don't worry!!

Do you have little ones? I found it really hard in the first few days cooking their lunch and dinners (not breakfasts as I'm not a breakfast person lol) and not picking at their food!!

Hope you enjoy the shake!! Xx

 

[Tangles]

The shake was revolting :-( I think I pictured 'fruits of the forest' a bit too literally. Bit disappointed as I'm not a 'shake' sort of person and I thought that would be my best shot! Definitely not having another tonight... will go soup again! lol Think I may have to head back to consultant before my weigh in just to exchange... did all but hold my nose to get the thing down quickly :-D

I have two sons - age 4 and 6.. I'm sure once I get through today I will be ok for cooking tomorrow.... (hopefully ... i shall cook something i don't like :-D)
I have a ketostix for day 4 i think it is... :-D
I think tomorrow might be the worst day so have booked a day off work to get my hair cut.... hoping that does the trick :-D

Hope you begin to feel a bit better soon - its never nice feeling off form and I think its worse when the sun is shining!

 

[spammie19]

I can so relate to you on the fruits of the forest shakes!!! I literally heaved at the smell!!!! Horrid. I exchanged 6 packs last week!! I've tried a strawberry tetra this week and it's yummy!! Deffo try one of them. Have u tried rice pudding? A lot of ppl don't like it but I quite like it as I can chew!! I really miss chewing foods!!

Ahhhh I have 6 children :/ I try cook stuff I don't like but as they all have different tastes I end up cooking several meals!!! My hubby is a chef and often brings food home...he works in an Italian and the food is yummy so I have a bad time at night. I find early nights are becoming a frequent thing for me!!

I'm self employed so had plow on on my worst day get plenty of rest tomorrow enjoy your soup tonight! Think I'm gonna have choc orange but not tasted yet so...

Hi ladies

I hope your both getting on well?

I'm on day five and although I've gone through the pain barrier so to speak, I'm absolutely knackered! But no hunger so I can't complain!

Spammie you tried the premixed shakes, they are really not that bad, and I kind of look forward to the sweet treat! Hope your feeling better?

Tangles stick with it, once you hit day 4/5 you'll be so glad you did, it's a breeze after that.

Roll on Friday for my weigh in!

Week one on Cambridge Weight Plan

 

[spammie19]

Thanks Vanessa. Yes I tried my first pre mixed shake yesterday!!! Rather yum!!! And welcome to the non hunger days ) your energy levels will rise soon!! Can't wait for your weigh in!!!!

Isn't it lovely not feel hungry!? My belly only rumbles late at night when I'm in bed... xxx

 

[veenessie]

Hey ya

I know it's strange not being hungry, only time my belly reminds me it's there is when I think about food. Just goes to show greed is in the mind! I need to sort my head out on this journey so I won't fall back into bad habits lol

Have a good day x

Week one on Cambridge Weight Plan

 

[spammie19]

Hiya


I told my consultant the same...I've come to realise I eat when my head wants to. Not my belly. I need work on portion control and timing. I used eat at night the most

It's a lovely day here. Hope ya have a fab day!

P.s one more day till weigh in!!!

[spammie19]

Well I went to my dr app and due to a breast infection I'm on strong antibiotics for 7 days. Just messaged my consultant see if I'm still ok to SS on a plus note the sun is fabulous!!!! xxx

 

[Loubaloo]

Hi all. I'm new to the site and new to CWP! Have made it to day 4, doing SS+ but have given in and had one grape, one strawberry and 6 raspberries.....will that affect ketosis?! Really hoping that I get some good results, not feeling too confident at the mo as I'm not starving!!!! Maybe I ate too much chicken ;-)

 

[mellaj]

Hi,
I have just finished day 3-day two was awful and I cheated then felt gutted.
Headache got me!
Today has been good a feeling much better
I love the mango shakes with loads of ice
I weighed in at 16 st 4lb. Which is 2.5 stone heavier than the start of 2013, so I am 100 % committed.
Good luck

Bella xx

 

[katecou]

I'm on day 3, mango shake with ice sounds lovely, do you blend it?
Good luck!

 

[spammie19]

Hiya all!!

Mellaj I weighed in at 16 1 n that was about a stone heavier than I was 6 months ago

Hope your all doing well today?

Vanessa good luck for weigh in please let us know when your back!!!

Hi Spammie

I hope you're feeling better and the antibiotics have kicked in?

Just back from my weigh in and lost 7lb! Happy with that!

Decided I prefer the chocolate tetras so have bought half chocolate and the rest is strawberry and banana. I've been told the banana isn't as nice, but I'll give it a try.

Hi loubaloo

Welcome, I can't really comment to the stage you're on as I'm on sole source, but I'm sure you'll be fine, just stick to the plan the way I see this as long as I don't deviate I'll get this over and done with quickly!

Week one on Cambridge Weight Plan

 

[spammie19]

Vanessa!!!!! Well done Hun!!!!!!!!!! Pleased for you!!! How are the choc tetras? I'm going order 7 strawberry next week lol. I'm allowed the bars next week too Antibiotics have made me feel a little human to an extent!!' Hoping they hurry and kick in a bit more so I can get some sleep How are you? Xxxx

 

[veenessie]

Thanks babe, wasn't as big as your loss but it's a loss and it's really not been that bad!

Glad your feeling better

The choc ones are my favorite, I saw that you can pop them in the freezer for a couple of hours, snip the top off and you get ice cream. Might try it tomorrow night for my dinner

I'm not sure when I'm coming off sole source, I'm in a good frame of mind at the moment so I'm going to try and keep going as long as I can. I just want to get to my goal sooner rather than later. I've been told the peanut and lemon bars are nice, you'll have to let me know what you think? I don't know about you I'm missing something savory?

Week One Weigh In -7lb

 

[Loubaloo]

Well done on the 7lb! I hope to have a good loss on Tuesday. I'm doing SS+ as I couldn't face the thought of not chewing! To be honest I'm struggling to have all 3 'meals'. I have porridge for brekkie, shake for lunch (I bought one of the CDP shakers, v good) and once I've had 200 cal meal I feel full.
Are the tetras nice? I've had the powdered shakes - choc orange, strawberry and fruits of forest. All nice.

 

[veenessie]

Hi loubaloo

When your weigh in? I don't know what you can expect on SS+ but it can't be much different as your still on a very low cal diet. You'll have to let us know how you get on?

I live the pre made shakes. Taste good and so convenient, no worrying about having a water source when out or having everyone know what your doing. If you drink a tetra with the label pointing towards you no one knows what your doing

Keep the good work up, stay strong x

Week One Weigh In -7lb

 

[spammie19]

7lbs is still amazing Vanessa!!! Half a stone!!!! you should be proud!

I'm going order 7 strawberry tetras for next week I think. I will try some bars and let you know!!!

Yes I miss savory person all the shakes and porridge and puds are too sweet for me!! That's why I tried soups!! But they really don't do anything for me as I don't like soup!

Hope everyone's well today!!!!

Wish my antibiotics would get on full swing

I'm really struggling with the water, I hate water and just need something make it actually taste ;(
