Hi F4ye, I primarily do extra easy, but I just wanted to say that you're not necessarily doing anything wrong to have lost 1/2 lb in your first week! We see people around us losing 3, 4, 5, 6lb in their first week and compare ourselves! I was a slow starter, losing 1lb, then 1.5lb, then 1.5lb and then a bigger one! I still have slow weeks, despite being 100% most weeks (I'm 33 weeks in!) Some people just have a bit of a pattern so I'd recommend you don't judge your progress based on one week- see how you get on and the most important thing is to be patient!! The bloatedness may just be a result of a change in diet and your body needs time to adapt to it! If you think you may be going wrong somewhere why not post your food in the food diary section and other people can give you pointers if needed!! Stick with it, all those little losses add up (look at my progress- I'm averaging about 1.5lb per week- I've just been doing it a while now) I'm sure you'll get bigger losses too along your journey! Good luck!XXX
