    No, not sad at all!!! Funny you should post this as I have been thinking today that I have lost 30lbs in 7 weeks which included xmas so if I lost a similar amount in the next 7-8 weeks that would be amazing! It seems really close doesn't it? I think normally I would think oh 6-7 stone will take...

    TOTM and i wanna give up

    Just wanted to repeat what everyone said, it is soooooo hard but so worth it! Some people are quick to get into ketosis and don't really suffer but others do, I had a nightmare first 5 days and then on day 6 started to feel a bit better, after the first 2 weeks you will feel so much more...
