Ooh im tempted now. Id be happy to just enjoy one nice meal with the family n do shakes rest of time. Im so not sure if i should bother with refeed or not now!!! Arghh
Wednesday weigh in complete and another week's supply in the bag. Buzzing today as I've trimmed off 6lbs this week so am under 90kg for the first time in a long time. Down to 88.9kg or 13st 13lbs. Am no longer "obese" (hate that word as it is so unfair on everyone and stigmatises people no matter what) but am "over-weight" according to BMI scale.
Here's to (hopefully) another good week and another step nearer the goal. Keep up the good work everyone; we can do it!

Thanks all for the very kind words 
It's great to hear how well you lot are doing too - proper good motivation for me - and everyone else I hope ( i.e. we're not alone, we all know each others' pain and that we can do it etc cos as we know this diet is bloody hard!)
You lot are brill.

Wish I knew what to advise you's all, can only say the obvious stuff - all down to being strong - which given the days you've nailed so far shows you CAN do it, just got to keep focused (easier to say than do I know though by the way).
I go back to a little nugget from a thread/post by the guru goose - remember that one bad day... don't chuck it all in the bin for one bad day. If you had a bunch of 7 roses and one wilted and died, you wouldn't throw away the whole bunch would you?
Keep strong everyone; I've got a rocky August coming up A stag weekend from Thurs to Sound in a couple of week's time followed by a wedding which is in the middle of 10 days holiday. I know I'm going to eat and drink, just going to have to take it easy, stay on shakes in between then redouble efforts in September.
Don't give up - you all know the results are well worth the strife)

)Hi Guys
I've really struggled too the last few weeks, basically just maintaining the 2 stone I lost in the first 5 weeks. The worst thing I did was give myself a day off for my dad's doo! It's been rocky since. However! - I made a promise to myself to get this thing over with as quickly as possible so I geared myself up on Sunday. Listened to my Paul McKenna thing, went on here to re motivate myself and got started again 100% on Monday. I've already lost a few lb's and am down into my next stone bracket which felt like a battle in itself. I'm on Day 4 and I know I can do it for at least another 5/6 weeks again as I did it before. I am going out with work girls tonight and they are eating and I am all prepared with my shakes in my bag and a bar if needed! I have ordered stuff online called new you which can give me exactly the same cals from three shakes as lipotrim but is much cheaper for me. Exante was 600 a day and I wanted to go back to the strictness of the 425 I had at the beginning as that worked.
Keep going everybody. It is so hard but we all know it gets easier after a few days when we are 100% and in ketosis. I'm holding on to that every time I see cake/chocolate/ biscuits etc in work!!!! (it was homemade truffles yest!!!!!!) Good luck and just get through today and then do the same tomorrow

Well done was78! Keep it up.
I've had a set back today - been told my contract is finishing at work as of next week so got to find something quick. It's part and parcel of the work I do so should be used to it but still a bit of a kick in the guts given it was supposed to run to end of September. Unfortunately they are cost cutting and I'm one of the costs!
Anyway, at a doo tonight and the temptation to eat and drink is going to be immense. Mind's playing all kinds of tricks on me - "you're down to 13-8 now, you can afford a night off..." Rocky, rocky road.
Wish me luck

Went to the doo last night and...
Epic fail.
Drank like a fish
9 pints of Strongbow last night and head pounding.
Forgotten what a hangover is like.
Very upset this morning. So incredibly annoyed with myself. Not going anywhere near a set of scales until Wednesday weigh in. So f****** annoyed with myself you wouldn't believe...
BUT back in the saddle today, re focus and redouble the efforts.
Onwards and upwards dear friends

Cheers jester! Felt very sorry for myself through the day but am back in the saddle and supping lots of water and my shakes. So far so good. I just keep thinking of guru Goose's words about not slinging away all the roses
You'll get back into it too - it is bloody hard though innit?!
Thanks for the support

Sounds like a silly question but if you are really big do you have bigger losses than someone with just 2 or 3 stone to lose?
