The tears have gone I am pleased to say Today Tuesday I have stepped on the scales for the first time since Saturday and I have had a significant drop. I now weigh 14 stone 13.6lbs - if I ignore the weight gain probably brought on by water retention then from Friday's weigh in I have lost 2.5lbs. If I add in the weight gain it is a loss of nearly 6.5lbs. Either way I have passed a milestone and feel just great. I shall never in the future get so upset if the same thing occurs because I have discovered why it happened. Thank you all for your support.
