Thanks guys. Ear still painful, but no longer tired at all. Taking paracetamol and ibuprofen, so that's helped.
Went for a long walk with a friend earlier to help with fitness, then had small meal when I got back. Just chilling out now - the fresh air and the walk have relaxed me nicely
Hope everyone is well x

Went to get weighed, but don't really know what I've lost this last week because I last saw my CDC 2 weeks ago just before having a week off! So I probably put on 5 in my week off. Am down 3lbs from my last visit, so all going in the right direction.
Will be very pleased when I get to 12st 7lb. Today has been okay, although have gone over by having an extra shake on top of the small meal of fish.
CDC suggested that the diarrheoa is overflow from constipation because of the lack of fibre, so suggested I take a gentle laxative tonight and then fibre daily, so am going to do that. Makes sense.
Big Brother tonight! Can't wait. Hope everyone is okay today - quiet again a bit xxx

Morning hun,
Yay for 3lbs down, fantastic news! The fibre is excellent and really works, i have always suffered dreadfully with constipation but never wanted to take laxatives regularly and i started taking the fibre a few months ago every morning a tsp in my coffee and not a had a moments trouble since (duh!) can't believe i didn't take it all the time i was on SS. I continue to take it whether on shakes or not, as it def sorts it, i can't recommend it enough to all my customers.
Saw a bit of BB..., thought i might watch it as its the last one, depends on how annoying they get...pretty annoying so far!
Wishing you a fab day!

Hey Lelly BB people look awful so far! They always do though on the first night I think. Sometimes the loudest ones turn out to actually be really boring!!!
I think I have discovered the secret to doing SS because tonight I honestly am not bothered about eating at all. I normally have my shake as soon as I wake and then by 10:30 I want another. Today I didn't have my first shake until around 11am. I filled up on coffee and wasn't hungry. Then the next was at about 2:30 and not had anything since and not hungry at all.
Nice to know I have another one to look forward to tonight, as I do love my tetras. Having said that, BF might come in and cook some chicken and I'll want it if I smell it. It's nice not being hungry though
So, big news for me is that I get married a year today!!! So in a year I will be a married woman and I can't wait. Went into a florist today and they were lovely and helpful. It's so exciting.
Not sure what I'm up to tonight, as I desperately want to read my new book, but there are good things recorded on telly too. I love nothing more (especially on this diet) than sitting in bed upstairs, with the window open, reading a good book. So relaxing. It's by Audrey Neffenegger (sp?) who wrote the Time Traveller's Wife. It's her new book and is a ghost story. I've wanted it for about a year.
Anyway, hope everyone is well. xxx

Today has been good so far. Interview someone to work for me who I really liked. First one I've seen with good experience, so feeling positive about that.
Then left early to go and meet friend at lunchtime. Had shake and water, but was nice to catch up. Then went into Laura Ashley because my clothing addiction is coming back
Bought a boyfriend jacket - been looking for one for ages, but haven't found one that I've liked. This will look lovely with jeans and white top! Also got a top for work and a skirt, that's too tight, but will probably fit in a week.
Got into my Banana Republic size 12 jeans today, but they're a generous fit and have some stretch. Tried on several of my size 12 dresses and they are skin tight on the hips and thighs, so a way to go yet... nice that I could get them on though finally!!!
Things are definitely going in the right direction. At home now, doing a few bits and pieces of work, nothing taxing. No plans for the weekend other than chill and read my book

Thanks Lelly. It feels very lonely on here again - you're the only one who seems to visit and it's gone quiet again! Oh well - I have enough to say for plenty
Was thinking of going to a safari park or something today, but we figured we'd got up too late and by the time we were ready and had taken the dog to my parents it would be midday before we got there, so scrapped that idea.
Might go and buy some magazines after showering and walking the dog. Been up ages, but not done anything other than have a shake and sort out my finances.
Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Well, have deliberated for a while, but am going to have the evening off! I feel reasonably confident that I can get back on the SS wagon on Monday (have a planned BBQ tomorrow).
It's World Cup tonight and I'm not remotely into football, but quite like watching England and BF is a massive footie fan. So we're planning on pulling the sofa up close to the TV, ordering a pizza and having a few drinks.
Am sure to regret it in the morning, but then have BBQ tomorrow which I'll try to keep protein based. Then figure I'll either SS+ or 810 to get back into it from Monday, with exercise to burn off the excess cals from the weekend.
Am going great guns, so hope this doesn't throw me out too much. Have done it before, so fingers crossed I'm strong enough again!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. For anyone struggling it doesn't mean you have to stay away xxx

struggling...oh yep that would be me!
Trying to find a way back on, but feeling a failure. So much keeps throwing itself my way, in the sense of events etc. I can't believe my dress fitting is in 6 weeks, and I am so miserably failing on CD. I really and truly thought I could do it now. Maybe CD SS just isn't for me now. Considering 1000 plus cardio exercise, see if that will bump me back into it.
Sorry for writing this on your thread - it was just the first place I felt maybe I could.
Have a wonderful evening, you are sooo inspirational xx

Aww, you're not failing at all! You're doing no different to me tonight, just that you're seeing in a different light and panicking because you only have 6 weeks.
It's not easy hun. Sometimes you start off and feel so motivated and get all excited and then things do get in the way. You could maybe try what I do and if you have a day where you eat, just exercise, like you mention
You've come so far anyway, so you're not going to look big on the big day regardless of whether you lose anymore. Can't begin to imagine how stressed you are, as it's stressed me out and I have a year to go. You don't need to be worrying about weight/diet as well. Perhaps it is time to chill out a bit and not upset yourself I think you've done fantastically. Please don't feel sad xxx

Had half a very large pizza and some chicken dippers, 2 glasses of wine. Still feel stuffed this morning!
Not done exercise yet, but slept in late. Going to Next in a bit to get some gift vouchers, then BBQ. Hope everyone else is okay this weekend. Am determined to stay active despite this mini break, as hoping that I'll get back on track after today.

Hi Liz,
Long time since here so lots to catch up on. Lovely to hear you are doing so well. I'm impressed at how you have managed to do ss again, i just could not get into it again. You are doing fab! Congratulations on your engagement, thats wonderful news. We're getting married too, eventually, and i share the whole stress thing, although i'm a bit too laid back considering i've only got 10 weeks and not a pair of shoes in sight yet! I have wide feet too, and it seems bridal shoes are only made for feet of tinkerbell proportions.....not fair.
I have discovered exercise ecently and i am finding it is making a difference to weight loss. Also trying Firminator Cream for arms, will let you know if it works!
Take care xx

Morning Liz, yes it does seem to go a bit quiet here on the weekends doesn't it, as we all wander off the path a bit poss?
Hope you enjoyed your pizza, footie n then bbq, Monday is here and sending you positive vibes for getting back to it hun!!
Have a fab week!!

p.s Totally second your comments to Alexm, ...You are not failing at all hun! my weekends events are def tripping me up nearly every week, but i see it as two steps forward one back...it's still 1 step forward eh! positive thinking will help hun, try to avoid the negative it'll make you crazy!! Maybe the 1000 plan plus excercise will make you feel better, i seem to remember you getting on fantastically well with the 1000 cals plan before?
Have a fab week too hun!

Hey Butterfly - lovely to see you here! 10 weeks to go, wow, not long then. You sound a lot more chilled than I would be. Definitely think there is a market for people with wider feet. Glad to hear that you're exercise is going well - it's nice when you get into the habit.
Hey Lelly - weekends I think are harder like you say, but completely agree on the two steps forward thing and was thinking the same coming home. I might have had a mini break, but by SS-ing for only a couple of days I'll be back where I was, and then the only way is downhill
Hope you're okay Alexmummy xxx

Hey Liz
You definitely are heading in the right direction. I think by 'choosing' to take a mini break, and having a plan to get back on; that in itself is admirable.
Hope you've had a good Monday x

Hope all is going well Liz. Agree with all thats been said about active choices. Did a load of reading about this. I too am not so big into the lets 'emotionally analyse' it all. Just want strategy to change, and being mindful that i can choose to eat that (..........fill in blanks with desired food) but then to return to healthier options seems a good approach. I figure i've got to learn how to eat at some point. I was putting that off before by continuing CD, because i wasn't very good at it! Sorry........ waffle in progress. Build up to maintenance i guess is about us all finding what suits us longer term. We'll get there eventually. xx

Hey Liz,
Totally agree with Butterfly on the choices thing...I make some not so great food choices knowing the consequences rather than stressing n feeling guilty...being mindful of your actions that's just the thing.
You are doing brilliantly hun, hope you are having a fab day!
