Lost another 5lbs.
Total loss 4 stone 8lbs.
I have added new photos to my slide. The first set was taken at the beginning, 2nd set after 5 weeks and third set after 10 weeks.
Feeling good this week after my second add a meal week. Have enjoyed the food enormously. I have another weigh in tomorrow. That will be my final weigh in for 3 weeks as first my CDC then I go on holiday.
I will try to resist the temptation of weighing on my scales during the next 3 weeks and will stick religously to my diet whilst on my hols. This should mean I'll see a great loss when I jump on the scales in a few weeks.
Will probably post again after my holidays.

More DEcorating
Having been decorating the living room for the past couple of days and am feel constantly high with the fumes from the topcoat.
I'm drinking like a fish (water only of course) cos its been quite warm and I sweat bucket loads. Whenever I'm concentrating hard at something the sweat just pours off me :-)
Its all coming together nicely. I've finished topcoating all the woodwork and have given the ceiling two coats of emulsion. The finish is all down to preparation and I spent a good couple of days sanding walls and woodwork as well as general wall preparation and filling a few holes and blemishes. Hopefully it'll all turn out well in the end. Just got to give the walls a couple of coats tomorrow then think about rplacing a couple of internal doors. Have seen a couple of nice ones in b&q so will probably opt for those.
Diet seems to be going well this week although I did have a cheat by munching on some green lettuce leaves. I can't see this having any effect on the diet and a welcome relief to drinking every meal!
Off now to catch up on some tv. BB8 on in an hour, so I'll have a nice shower and sit and watch that.

WEIGH IN NUMBER 7
Hi all,
I'm not that great at updating this blog and more often than not neglect to do it. You see I've never really been much of an Adrian Mole or Bridget Jones.
Anyway, on a more positive note I've lost another 5Lbs this week, which brings my total loss to 53lbs. This diet is starting to take its toll and as mentioned in previous posts I haven't been feeling great of late but that maybe something totally non diet related. Who knows!
I had an appointment to see the G.P last Tues but have improved considerably since last week so therefore cancelled the appointment. Hopefully its onwards and upwards from here and I'll continue to feel much better.
Have read my latest copy of PCWorld which came through the post today and also the June addition of the Cambridge diet mag which I recently discovered. This mag has some fantastic stories in them and aptly named 'Inspiration'. I did read the slimmer of the year 2006 was sent to Kuala Lumpar for a photo shoot so I'm aiming for slimmer of the year 2007 or 2008 if I haven't shed the weight by the end of this year. :-) Just imagine an all inclusive paid trip to the far east staying in a five star hotel...can't be bad.
Off now to check out whats going on at minimins. See ya.

Feeling better today, a slight headache but no dizzy spell as yet. Hopefully I just have a virus or earache or something (was getting slight pain below left ear last night).
Have had a good day watching sport on the tv. Formula One was great, unfortunately the maclarens were out classed by the ferraris. Was so hoping Lewis Hamilton would triump.
An awesome final at Wimbledon also. Federer showed real class to come through and take that match. Brilliant!
This weekend has just flown by. Weather much better but will change no doubt by next week. I'm hoping to get a day's fishing in next week, weather permitting. (have to admit i'm more of a fare weather angler, can't stand getting wet).
Really starting to notice the weight loss now. Have spent the pass couple of days trying on smaller clothing which I have in my wardrobe. Its a great feeling when that shirt finally buttons up without the buttons straining as you breathe out!!
Going away for a week in August so looking forward to that. Pleased I have a few more options in the clothes department this time.
Off now to have a shower, BB returns this evening. Have to admit I've become a bit of a fan. Sad I know. :-)

Still feeling dizzy with a sense of malaise.
Have made a doctors appointment for Tuesday and will discuss things with her.
It had been suggested by my CDC to move to a higher calorie plan than the one I'm on, but the losses I am having are making me very reluctant to do this. Will see G.P first and then make a decision.

WEEK 6 WEIGH IN
Had my 6th weigh in last night and lost another 7lbs. Thats 45lbs in 6 weeks. :-)
I just hope I do not have to move to a higher calorie plan because of these current dizzy spells. I love this rate of weight loss!!
From now on I will be showing my loss with an extra 3 lbs deducted. So my loss will now show 48lbs in 6 weeks. The reason for this is due to weight differences between my scales and my CDC's. Due to my high starting weight my CDC scales only weighed upto 28.5 stones. My scales however weighed upto 31 stones, so my initial weight was taken from these. By the second week I was able to use my CDC's scales and with the two sets of scales side by side my scales showed me as being 3lbs heavier. I have since stopped using my scales and now weigh on hers. Although there is a 3lb difference I have not included this loss, however its becoming a little tedious to keep remembering that my actual weight I have recorded on my ticker is 3lbs heavier than my weight shown on my CDC's scales.
As mentioned earlier I have been using my CDC's scales and taking the loss from that. So for simplicity sake I wiill show my loss according to my CDC's scales and include the 3lb scale discrepency.

DIZZY SPELLS
Have been experiencing some bouts of dizziness the past week. I discussed this with ny Cambridge Diet Counsellor (CDC) last night and she will be phoning someone today and will get back to me later. The dizzy spells are completely random. I have had ny blood pressure checked and that's fine. I am not diabetic or suffer from low blood sugar levels normally.
The week before last I was on my AAM week and was consuming more calories. The past week however I had stopped AAM and returned to sole sourcing (SSing). I also stopped having a cambridge bar a day and stuck solely to soups and shakes. The bars contain about 30-40 calories more than a soup or shake. Also I exercised for about 20mins a day for 4 of the past 7 days.(do not feel dizzy at all whilst exercising). I had not exercised before on this diet. Due to this VLCD and the fact I stopped AAM, the bars and started exercising all in one week may just have been too much for me, hence the dizzy spells.
I'm just speculating of course and will stop the exercise this week and start having the cambridge bars again. I hope this will lessen if not stop the dizzy spells completely. If this doesn't help I will see my doctor and providing there is nothing obviously wrong, may be forced to increase my calorific intake and go onto the 790 plan.
Am feeling fine so far today!

Tummy tuck.
Have been following a posting on minimins about a guy who has lost a lot of weight and had a tummy tuck to remove the loose skin. His experience however appears very grim and I am now have serious doubts about having one myself once I've lost all my weight.
I maybe getting a little ahead of myself here but I know my skin has stretched a huge amount (visible stretch marks) and will surely need some cosmetic surgery to remove the loose skin.
I will go to the gym and work out to help though and I am curremtly creaming my skin to keep it supple but I fear the inevitable will happen one day and I'll have to make that decision.
I hope to god if I do need a tummy tuck my experience will be much more favourable than his.!!

Trouble loading pictures.
I could not for the life of me post pictures into my post. I have tried for days now without any luck so I created a slide and inserted that up top.
When I tried to insert an image nothing happened. I'm sure it has something to do with my firewall etc so I disabled that and allowed pop ups in IE. I allowed pop-ups in my internet security suite, but to no avail.
If anyone else has had this problem I'd appreciate a solution. Many thanks.
