Hi everyone,
Sorry to put a downer on things but I've had a few concerns this week and am looking for some reassurance!
Over the past 3 or 4 days I've been feeling quite dizzy, and my period still hasn't come and it was due last week (no chance of being pregnant so don't worry about that!). I also still haven't had a 'natural' poo on LL and I'm coming into week 8 (sorry about the details but I'm worried!) - I take a laxative once a week, and I dread doing so because every time I do I have terrible stomach cramps and nothing really 'comes out' anyway. I'm also really worried about having taken laxatives for so long now because I've read that they can really muck up your digestive system. I also did a blood pressure reading with a home monitoring thingamejig earlier today and I had a reading of 107/61. I'm not entirely sure if that's good or bad but I know it's certainly lower than my last reading.
Just to let you all know, I am sticking ridgedly to the programme - I have my 4 packs and always drink at least 4 litres of water each day, so I'm not doing anything wrong as far as that goes.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm really not feeling myself and, as I said before, I am a little concerned. Plus, I only dropped 1.68lbs this week. Can anyone enlighten me on what's going on?!
