Yeah I think I need to stock up on some protein. Although Im just fed up feeling deprived of things. Going to do my best to stick to 100% until next Saturday coz were having a night out to celebrate losing our jobs, lol. Then Ill take it from there.
Going to have a peppermint tea just now to hopefully tide me over until lunchtime.

Jo you are such an inspiration to us newbies on here.
You've done tremendously well with your weightloss so far and god knows it's not easy to stick with long term.
I don't know your story well but it's sounds as if you've had a tough time with the job loss etc.......
While to sore to move ( lol) is it worth taking a couple of hours to think back to where you were at the start? What were your goals? How did you feel then compared to now? Can you do another measuring session/ photo shot of yourself to remind you how fantastically well you done? When I did this I lost 13st...... In my ex partner!!!!!! Lol but sometimes it's not always you/ your body that's making you feel low.
While I understand the loose skin bit it's got to be better than the solid fat version!! And it will continue to shrink long after you finished your journey.
Have you considered bellydance??? Seriously, I am a bellydance teacher and the difference I see in womens self esteem as they learn is phenomenal, it's fab exercise but fun too!!! The dancers come in all shapes and sizes and you don't have to show your belly!!!!!
Failing all the above, if you're struggling so much, maybe it's time to look at what other food plan would suit you.
Whatever you choose to do your still on the path to where you want to be!!!
Lots of love Rach

Bellydancing does sound fun Rach. As Ive said my current plan is to stick with it 100% or as close to 100% as I can lol until next Saturday and then Ill reevaluate.
I actually just did new pics about 10 minutes ago as this is week 36 and I do them every 4 weeks. The difference really is unbelievable. Ill have to upload them tomorrow coz Im hoping Im going to hit the 100lb mark at tomorrows WI.
Ive just realised though that I have been wearing size 18 for over 2 stones now without dropping a size. I must be due to get into those size 16s any time now so really want to keep going until I get there. The only problem is that size 16s seem to be so much shorter which isnt great given my stomach but never mind - its an excuse to buy more clothes, lol.
