Thanks guys. My pain meds have yet to kick in, when they do I'll probably have major munchies! Had to eat to take them, so I've at least had lunch.

Much better today, pain has reduced to a dull ache. I swear, the things women have to endure...
Aim to be back on track today, had a sneaky jump on my scales this morning and I was glad to see I was 1lb lighter (although it was first thing and pre brekkie...and my scales are possessed from time to time...but good nonetheless). If I could get between half and 1.5lbs off this week, I'll be happy with that. Worst case, I'd like to STS :fingerscrossed:

hey christiana just been reading through your diary. i've just as much to lose so it's good (if that's the right term) to see how others in a similar situation are coping. you're doing great!
they say it's easier to lose if you're a man which explains my first week, but doubt i'll have lost much more come my weigh in tomorrow..
best of luck going forward!

Your diary is so interesting!!! Very well done with your losses and resisting custard creams. I could happily munch my way through a whole pack of those things
