hey sweetie,
i really really really wouldnt worry - i lost half a stone - so 7lbs in about a week and half just by feeling really anxious - your body goes through a bit of a rough time i think with anxiety and fear etc makes your heart pump faster and increases your metabolism...therefore burning more calories.
i havent put that half a stone back on either - thank goodness hahaha! it made me get down to my pre preg weight!! yipppeee!
pm me if you want sweetie, but honestly...your metabalism witll just be going bonkers due to fear and anxiety!
love katie xx

Hi Worriedem i completely agree with Katiewoo, anxiety can be the cause of a lot of things!!
At the beginning of december i weighted 9.5 stone, now im down to 8 stone .. xx
