    Hi Yvonne, well done on your weight loss 👍

    I hope I get the same results as I'm just into my 3rd week and I've lonely lost 2lbs 😢

    I feel bigger now then I did before starting the tablets.

    I feel constantly bloated and swollen, just hoping it calms down soon as I'm drinking plenty of water. 

    Good luck on your next weigh in X

      Hi,

      I've heard being swollen etc is quite common and lots of water is needed. Don't give up, I'm sure you will have great weight loss soon. I know it's upsetting as we want to see results now. I'm on week 2 and not had a weigh in yet. X

      Don't give up. I was like that and then one day it just went. Was surprised at weigh in as thought my scales were off when is weighed at home. Keep going. You can do it. Good luck. Xx

      Morning collette,

      It is upsetting when you hear so many success stories on here but I won't give up ! 

      I'm wondering if I'm extra bloated as I'm drinking flavored fizzy  water ? Might just stick  to normal water and see if that makes a difference !

       

      Hopefully bit more  my weight loss in next 2 wks 😜

      Thanks, I'm not going to give up, just going to carry on and see what I weigh in 2 wks time at the doctors ! Would like to think my scales are broke  but I think that's a bit of wishful thinking.....haha

      One thing for sure I'm going to stop jumping on my scales as I think that sets my mood for the day not seeing any results ! Xx

      Morning 

      It is hard and upsetting, but stick with it. We will join the weight loss gang soon 👍👍👏 

       Most flavoured fizzy waters have sugar in them, I'd stick to good old plain water or fizzy water. Maybe that's what's causing you being bloated? Can't beat plain water. 

      Try flavouring it yourself, get a jug and add lemons, lime, grapefruit and orange slices, can add some mint. Or get fruit tea bags and chuck them in - so many options.

      Yes totally agree, I must admit I do weigh once a week just to know I'm heading in the right direction.  xx

      Would a drop of orange or black currant squash be ok ? I can't drink plain water I've tried do many times x
