Ok - so just come back from my second group and my first WI. In the last 7 days I've lost a grand total of 8.6lb. Trouble is I'm slightly disappointed by it - I wanted more! A few others in the group were talking about how much they lost in their mid-week pop-in and some of them lost more halfway through the week than I've lost in a whole week - I swear they looked at me pitifully!
I know I shouldn't compare myself to others but its soooo difficult not to when everyone seems to be losing more than me - its not like I haven't got enough spare and I've stuck to the packs and water religiously!
Also- the water flavourings have been a life saver this week but the side effect of drinking them is indigestion and trapped wind (nice!) - I spoke to my LLC about this but she didn't seem to be aware of this as a side-effect. I know its the water flavouring because they have sugar alcohols in them (polyols) which has had this effect on me before (when I used to eat sugar free chocolate)
I thought charcoal tablets would probably help with this but my LLC said she'd never heard of these and couldn't guarantee they wouldn't effect my weight loss.
Can anyone help me with this? I really don't want to give up the water flavouring but the trapped wind etc is getting too much!
Thanks
