Hi there, welcome aboard.

Is my first week weigh in and I lost 3lb, but I am very overweight (bit gutted it wasn't more actually) They way I cope with hunger pangs is by drinking buckets of water and using my snacks at these times. I found day 4 and 5 the worst for being hungery.

All the best, am sure you can do it

Hi there

SF say 1-2lbs a week with more in the first week. You can increase your losses with having less snacks and burn calories with exercise.

When I get pangs I drink water. If the pangs haven't gone within half an hour then I'll have a snack instead. I try only to have my meals and snacks when I am getting pangs, not just because it is a 'meal time'.

Hi and:welcome:

Yeah lots of water definitely helps, plus I always try to remind myself that the pangs will go wether I eat or not. I usually get them late at night and I'm determined not to eat then lol! A coffee or tea with skimmed milk and sweetners can do the trick aswell x
