    Kung Fu while SS?

    I work out everyday, either a yoga class or running uphill. So I have my 3 shakes plus a meal (like prawns and broccoli but enough to make up like 200-300 calories depending on what I have exercised that day). I also make sure to have a shake about an hour before I work out and also have...

    stomach pains whilst doing SS ?!?!

    HI Lisa! I had this problem last time I tried to go on SS. Nothing I did sorted it out so in the end I went up to 810 and worked my way down after a couple days on each one and in the end it was fine. I have NO idea what it was but that's what I did. I hope someone can give you a proper...

    Is it wrong to think a 3lb loss sucks?

    It seems each and everyone one of us have different losses... In my first week I lost 7.3 lbs, then 1.3lbs, then 2.2lbs... so you're doing a heck of a lot better than me and I've been sticking to it 100%! Just keep going and you'll soon find it dropping off! ;) x
