    Expectations?

    Males tend to lose weight much faster than females so it may be achievable. First week loss is a big spur on- keep at it and you'll be at goal in no time! Good luck!

    Ok here goes ...

    Dizzy- sparkling water is fine. Have a read of the sticky what you can drink. And exercise wise a hour at gym isn't a good idea. Obviously because you have to let your body adjust to the diet so it's recommended to keep exercise light until you feel you can build up to more strenuous exercise. X
