    If you drink alcohol, are your losses still good?

    Looking at your last months loss it says zero loss, this must be down to the alcohol. As the others have said its dangerous and really if your spending this kind of money and doing ssplus is it really worth it, its a tough old diet and if your not losing must make it harder.

    1st WEIGH IN - DISAPPOINTED :(

    Know how you feel my first wi was 4lbs on ss no cheating at all, but I am determined to give it a good go and stick with it :). I think 6lbs is good, just think by next week you could be nearly a stone lighter
