    I had a massive shock when I got on the scales this week -I lost 4.5lbs which got me my 3 stone award and my target!!! I never thought I would lose that much in a week again, it's the most I've ever lost in a week, and had only done it twice before right at the start of my journey!! So happy :D x

    Thanks, both of you. I'm feeling better, but my voice is still AWOL. My flatmate found it funny yesterday, I kept going from sounding like a chipmunk to then sounding like a dirty old man when I laugh. My sister told me today that I sound like I could get a job on a sex phoneline. So, it's...
