The important thing is to weigh yourself at the same time of day.... don't weigh yourself just after a big feed the first time, then wait until you've done an hour of weights and taken a massive sh*te a week later, otherwise you'll be really disappointed the following week when your weight has gone "up". First thing in the morning, each time.

2.2 kilos is brilliant, it's probably too much in that time !!! Losing more than 1.5 pounds a week isn't recommended as it is very hard to keep off such weight. Losing a small bit per week with subtle changes gives you a better chance of staying that way.

My missus did this diet last year and it worked so i said i would give it a go. http://www.secretdietdrops.co.uk/ Might be aload of sh*te, or dangerous, but i feel fine and its working

dunno about that stuff,is that not just a scam.Seems to be be based on diet  consuming very little calories.
Others here will know better but I presume you would get the same results if you just followed the diet and didnt take the drops.

Can anyone give me info about protein and how it can effect your training.

I have always associated weights and protein with body building but everywhere i am reading they talkabout protein after training.

Anyone know if this is good for women. I am eating protein. Egg and tuna scrambled eggs for breakfast, lean meat and handful of pasta or rice for lunch veggies. Big salad in the evening after training with lean meat. Bananas nuts and fruit as snacks.

I feel i just don't know enough to start drinking protein shakes.

It sounds like you're probably getting enough. The shakes and all that are great for recovery if youre actively trying to build muscle, heavy weights and all.

Had a lovely half price snack box last night in the local Chipper :)  Nice to break out every so often.
