After a real buzz of a day yesterday, I feel pooh today! I ended up on the bathroom floor and only remember finding myself waking up on the bed. My blood pressure has taken a huge dive, head is swimming and I can hardly see the screen in front of me because of blind spots!

I take candestartin for high blood pressure so I'm going to leave off them for a bit to see what happens.

Most upsetting part is it's panicked OH no end! How the hell he got me on the bed I've no idea and we were both wet from the bath so it must have been a struggle for him.

A day of ultra laziness today, so I've been ordered.

Sorry to hear that FT. A few people seem to have low BP after a time on LL, so the tablets can't be helping - would suggest taking medical advice though before stopping any medication; can you see your GP today?

Hope you feel better soon.

sean, love the new pics!!!

foxtrot i think you need to take it easy and maybe a visit to your gp would be a good idea to check its ok to stop your meds?

BP has been taken regularly today and has been 'normal' for me all afternoon. It took ages for my vision to straighten out though. I felt like I had a hangover most of the morning, unfocused and queasey. Feeling quite good now though. I will take the pills tonight but if it falls again tomorrow morning I'll go into the doctor.

Being overweight was giving me the high blood pressure anyhow so losing the weight should hopefully reverse it! The nurse is seeing me at my next weigh in anyhow.

Hi everyone,
Sorry I've been missing in action, had to get my head back on straight after all the self-sabotage. Anyway, I've been more or less on plan all week, and went to my LL meeting tonight for WI - 5.5lbs down! So hopefully back in the zone now.

I'll try to catch up with all your news tomorrow.

Hey All,

Hope you're all still losers lol!

Just popped on to see how you're all getting on, but far too many posts to catch up with at this time of the morning.

3lbs down for me this week.

Hope you all have a good week.

[Sean(JSF)]

Great results ladies, really fantastic to see the weight keeps dropping off at a good rate this far through.

Keep going, the end is in sight for many of us now

[Blonde Logic]

WOW! Emveg and Sean, both amazing achievements!

And everyone else is also doing so well! You're all amazing.

Just to update I have officially stopped doing LL, I'm doing it by feeling my way a bit and finding out which types of food suit me at different times of day, plus exercise. I feel that this is a better long term solution for me anyway. Not to say I'm not jealous of you guys still doing amazingly well and being big losers!!
So I'll still be lurking round even if just for moral support, cos you guys were so darn supportive of me and I'm not leaving you!

Good luck PB - I didn't know this. You know yourself better then anyone, and I hope it works out for you......just be very very veryyyyyy careful.....its risky what you are doing, so do stay in touch here for the support.

Hey, just hada little nosey around here, and you all are doing SO WELL!!!! WELL DONE!!! What a great goupr you are!

Jessica - you look WONDERFUL!

FoxTrot - you be careful - so sorry to hear you had that trouble, and really hope youa re ok now!

LConnor - I believe you signed a contract saying you would buy the packs each week. The basis is abstainance, as you know, and fiddling with lapses etc., does make it harder for you in the long run - so maybe their making you pay twice is a way to encourage you to stay on the plan, and as outlined in your contract. LLCs all operate differently - mind did not charge those who had extra packs twice - but in all rights, she could have.

Anyway - what a group of diamonds you all are!

KEEP ROCKIN IT YOU SKINNY MINIS!!!!!!

[Foxtrot]

Hey Siim!! Glad to have you back!! Hope you're heads with us now, that's a great loss!!!

Everyone is doing so well again.

BP is a little on the low side again this morning but nowhere near like yesterday. It was probably just an adjustment measure by my body and, as usual, it warned me too late!!

I'm feeling pretty good and have a big meeting later on today. I have found a lovely little size 14 number to wear so quite happy with that.

And OH had me in stitches this morning pretending to play the xylophone on my alleged ribs and singing Dem Bones!

Hope you all have good days too!!!

Onwards and Downwards!!

ehehe thats sweet! I love when my OH does stuff like that.

Day before I was stretching and my top lifted up over my tummy - he just shouted out "You are so cute. You are just so tiny!"

Then yesterday he came up from behind, picked me up and swung me around and said, "I am going to miss you!!!! Though theres not much left to miss!!"

Makes me really beam when he does stuff like that. BLess him.

Glad your BP is kind of stabilising - be careful with that!
