Anyone else on a diet and struggling?

no offence but that is crazy thinking. No one will lose that kind of weight week after week unless you are on the biggest loser. Even then they dont manage it sometimes.

I'm sure I read somewhere that every single winner of biggest loser had regained the weight :eek:

It's just not sustainable

I think they've all gained at least some, which isn't surprising as they usually starve and dehydrate themselves for the final. That amount of money is a powerful incentive. That's the basic problem with Biggest Loser - weight loss shouldn't be a competition over who can lose the most weight in the shortest time. However, some of them have managed to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, so that is a massive achievement. It just shouldn't be linked to financial gain.

Is it normal to pee every 20-30 mins when drinking water?

Also, I gave up energy drinks as I thought they were the reason I wasn't sleeping the whole night through, well I'm still not even though I've cut them out, I hope it's just my body getting used to a new sleeping time but it's very annoying!

On a plus, did a tesco shop online, no crisps, no every drinks, no chocolate, only one pizza, did get the pastry stuff again to make the tuna tart, salad, tomatoes etc so yeah, a reasonably healthy shop

If you're drinking a lot of water, then yes, that sounds pretty normal.
Well done on not buying any crisps. I used to be a serious crisp/savoury snach addict, I didn't have any for months which broke the habit. I find them rather salty and greasy now, though I do have a few now and again.

It's after say half a pint of water that I have to go

I'm not planning in getting rid of them forever but for the time being they are gone

We started having caffeine free diet coke at home and I try not to have caffeinated tea or coffee after about 3pm. I can't tell you the difference it's made. Try to avoid ALL caffeine after 3 and see how that helps.
