Small weight loss

Bit gutted, weighed myself yest after 2 weeks dieting. Ive only lost 7 lbs. Everyone else seems to be loosing loads. Im perhaps not drinking as much would this prevent me loosing

It's vital to drink 2-3 litres a day. If your body thinks it doesn't have enough water it will reduce your weight loss.

Well done on your loss, 6 lbs down is good & much better than 6 lbs up! Keep it up, you can do it!

6lbs is definitely better off than on but do increase your water intake. It will help.

Il try harder but so hard at work. Im on the go all the time as Im a nurse who covers lots of wards. Im not a lover of water, esp at work, so tend to drink peppermint t all day. Im prob getting 1.5 l down so not enough i know. I know 6 lb better than nothing but id rather it have been more, esp when im trying so hard

I drink 2 litres of sparkling water every night Shona while watching tv. It used to be vodka so I've replaced that and still feel as though I'm having a treat so to speak.

I do the same and have one bottle of sparkling strawberry and kiwi water (sainsburys) every night. Feels like a proper little treat mad as it sounds x

Your mention of malic acid being okay prompted me to re-check my fave fizz of the moment - Asda Cherry Cola - a Zero-type drink. 'Free From' most nasties, no aspartame, costs around 47p a 2-litre bottle and contains - MALIC ACID!

I am on vegetarian Atkins and to preserve my own ketosis I have to be careful about drinks. I cannot drink endless bottles of water, I get fed up with it, but to keep fluid intake high I often mix the Asda Cherry Cola 50/50 with water. Compromise!

Good luck everyone, you're brave to be doing TFR! xx
