    Hi:) like sarahlou says 12lbs is good in 2 weeks! Next weigh in will more than likely push you over your first stone marker. Don't get disheartened, your losses are so far consistently big and this may carry on, lots of people (probably me too) will have a massive loss first 1 - 2 weeks then...

    struggling

    Hi Hang in there it does get so much easier and the losses are so worth it. I'm on week 4 now and some days I struggle to get 3 shakes down me cos i'm just not that hungry. I have also found keeping really busy is the best thing and this forum is really inspirational:gen126:
  68. lexyell

    When do you have your shakes?

    I have mine at 12, 5, and between 9 and 10 cos I get hungriest in the evening. Think you've just got to find the best routine to suit you :)
