ok it's my 1st weigh in tomorrow and I know I shouldn't but this week I'm weighing myself every morning. Totally gutted as this is the 3rd morning in a row that I've stayed the same, The only difference that I have done is have their porridge for breakfast??? I'm going back to just shakes today.
3rd day in a row at the same weight??

Don't lose heart! I've been perfect one week and gutted when I've lost a meer 2.5lbs. But then the following week (without changing anything) I've lost 5lbs! I'm not sure that going back to a shake in the morning will help; you might be carrying a bit more fluid this week. You don't know, you might have a lovely surprise next week?!! Keep sticking to it. You're doing amazing. And keep off the scales til your weigh-day, it would certainly lower my motivation if I watched every tiny change that happens during the week xx

I weigh myself every day, because I like the randomness, sometimes up a little, sometimes the same. Sometimes down a little or a lot. It reminds me that "weight" is made up of true weight + retained water + retained digested food. It actually makes me less bothered about a week of STS.
I think of it like climbing a mountain. If you are finding your own path, there will be steep climbs, gentle climbs, flat bits, and lots of bits of the path where you are actually walking downhill into a dip. However, at the end of the path, you really are on the top of the mountain, and you can look down and see how far you have come, and the dips and bumps along the way don't matter. It's up to you how often you check your GPS coordinates along the way, but the answers won't affect the end result.
A train track would smooth out the ups and downs into a straight line. But bodies aren't machines, and so they don't progress in a straight line.
Good luck with your journey; remember, one foot in front of the other and you will get to the summit, even if you have to wade through some swamps on the way.

WOW! 8LBS? 2lbs a day? So it's not suprising your body is taking a little pause. It's not a mechnical machine - and does take pauses without explanation. 8lbs is great for your first week - so if you get anymore by tomorrow am, that'll be a bonus.
I hope you have a great WI tomorrow and cherish your loss whether it's 1/2 a stone, 8lbs or even more. Great job. Well done!
