well i can deffo say that on week 4 it does get a hell of a lot easier 
i find now that i an nearly leading a "normal" life now and not constantly thinking about food (although i still get the cravings when i see adds or cookery programmes on telly). I'm out and about more and even managed to go out with my friends at lunch times and sit there watching them tuck into their lovely lunches. before this there is no way i could have sat there doing that. even at work during tea breaks, seeing everyone tucking into their toast etc, doesn't bother me anymore. I think i've just got into the routine of it all now which is great! 3 weeks ago when i first started i didn't think i'd ever be able to say that.
i am having a bit of a problem with my blood pressure tho, it is very low and i go to the chemist to get it checked twice a week - she told me to up my intake of water (even tho i was drinking 5 pints a day as it was) so now i take 6 pints but it still hasn't made a difference. i just feel dizzy and light headed every now and again during the day but she said it wasn't at a level that i should be alarmed about, so hopefully it works itself out before long.
anyways... went in for my weigh in on saturday and lost 5lbs!!!
my boyfriend lost 4lbs so we're both delighted! he's lossing 4lbs every week now it seams and if he keeps going that way he'll be at his target weight in about 3 weeks... me on the other hand has another i'd say 6/8 weeks to go. will be hard when he goes back to eating and me not able to but at same time i know i'll get there!
keep the chin up people, we'll get therearty0011:
