the first week is definitely the hardest but once you start seeing results its so worth it! hang in there and use the forum as often as you need to. it really is a lifeline for me and i get loads of fab tips! also, if you find that the water is get boring, you are allowed a small amount of coke zero, i've recently introduced this into my diet and it's been a great help to have something with a bit of taste, especially to wash the mousses down, lovely!
