    I am soooo windy as well and my tummy feels so bloated.

    join the club :o I had terrible griping pains around day 3 of this challenge and now I have lots of verrrrrrrrrry bad wind in the evenings in particular! :o:o I'm trying to do as much water as possible to flush it all through!

    Any advice??????

    when I used to go to class, the consultant said that with some people, being on lots of green days took a bit for the digestive system to kick in. On the first weigh in, some people maintain, maybe lose a pound - she put on 2!! Anyway, she says the system then really quickly kicks in and on week 2, there are really good losses.

    I've not been that good today, surprisingly it wasnt chocolate though! it was 2 croissants - low fat ones though. The hubby bought them for me at the weekend and I dont like to waste food. Does anyone know how many syns are in them, I think they were Asda Good for you. I dread to think, and Im going to the pub later as well :eek:

    Keren, that's really interesing about not losing much in the early stages if you're doing a lot of green days. That gives me a bit of hope!

    I haven't even dared do a sneaky mid-week weigh-in this week, because I know I will be so demoralised if I haven't lost anything. Not looking forward to tomorrow morning. :eek:

    It also concerned me snaggles, I would die to not lose weight the first week.But then again aside from red/green days I would usually have had at least 1 maybe 2 takeaways, at least another loaf of bread, about 6 bags of chrisp and various bisciuts.I have not done that this week so surely that should make a difference.

    Hi. I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I have been following green days since the end of January. I only do green being a veggi. I have to date lost 1 stone and 5 pounds. I'm so pleased to be getting my body back. I had a second baby last October and I am now already smaller then before I got pregnant with this baby. It does work and I can eat!!

    Good luck to you all.
