Gill H losing 4lbs in your 1st week is good.i have read on some of the "post" that some people only lost 1 or 2 lbs.the first week.i know its a bit of a disapointment when you read someone has lost 9+ the 1st week, do you have much to losse because if you have only got a couple of stones that could be the reason.if you do decide to do sw i wish you all the best.do not forget cd is not everyones cup of tea.
