Hi! Ok, I didn't have one yesterday, because I got home at 12.30am and went straight to bed!!! I did have a couple of minutes of cool shower at the end of my proper shower this morning, in all honesty I needed it to wake myself up!
We'll have to think of a Dukan recommendation for next week - I might go for the standing up one - i seem to manage that quite easily!

I couldn't do it this morning. It was already freezing and I was so tired needed a hot shower. I'll have my cold shower before I go out tonight. As for next week, I can't really stand up much more than I do already as I work in a shop so I'm on my feet for 8 hours a day already. I was thinking about the ice cube one instead.

I really can't believe I've kept this up. Last night I had hot shower to wash my hair etc, then turned it right down again. The worrying thing is that I'm actually getting used to it and it's not that bad now. I'm not sure if it's actually working for weightless though. When we try our next experiment we should continue with the cold showers. Every 100 calories burned helps.

Neonic, you are a superstar! Well done for keeping it up! I missed a day on Thursday but like you, I am getting used to it. Good habits we get into now will help us on Conso I think, especially when we have to start bringing the risky foods back into our diets.
I am going swimming later, so I will have a fair few cool showers - one after my workout before I get into the pool to rinse down, one after the pool to rinse off the chlorine before I go into the steam room, and one after the steam room. I will have my normal shower when I get home.
Cold Shower Club is on a roll!!!

Three cold shower means 300 calories burned on top of what you burn off in the gym, pool and steam room. You'll prob burn off everything you eat today at that rate. Hmm, maybe I'll head to the gym today too. Haven't been in months. I'm 2 weeks in now so it's probably time I went back.
Hope everyone else is enjoying their cold showers

Is anyone still having cold showers?
Yesterday I turned it to cold before I got in and almost couldn't go through with it, but I managed it in the end. Today's shower started off hot as I wanted to wash my hair, then I turned it to cold for a couple of minutes to finish. I can't believe I've had a cold shower each day for 5 days. Never thought I'd stick at it.

Reaching the goal
Just came across this post. I think, I like the theory. Will be trying it today. Results will be posted soon. Oh, by the way, you said, 2 minutes a day is fine. How long before I see a result?

2 mins a day won't necessarily give you a visible "result" as such, it's just about boosting your calorie output to help stimulate weight loss and maintain a balance between what you burn and what you put in.
I have done it every day except Thursday and I have quite enjoyed it! Gym on Saturday was good, sweated off a few calories in the steam room too! Followed by a cool shower, must have burned a gazillion calories just by changing my body temp so much!

I tried this this morning. I know it's only my first day but thought I would start out as I mean to go on. Showered hot initially because I have to wash my hair and then gradually turned it down to cold. Not sure about 25 degrees though as I don't know what this feels like and I only have a jam making thermometer, not sure taking that in the shower is a good idea lol

I don't think it's 100 cals per shower is it? (My book's at home so can't check!)
But I've heard that cold water at the end of washing your hair makes it come up really shiny!

Wow I'm so impressed with you guys! Good luck and WELL DONE!
Not sure i could ever manage that. I *have* had quite a few involuntary cold showers in the past, they usually give me a headache when I have to wash my hair :-( so the memory of that really really puts me off even trying it.
