I've lost a stone (that's 14 pounds!) in two weeks..

Good lord!

My thoughts a few months ago would have been - oh hell. This is cancer. Sure to be.

My thoughts now - YAY!!!! Looks like there was a silver lining to having an appetite reducing cold and being too busy to eat over Christmas!

I'm not sure if I'm trying to make a point here, or if I'm just boasting that I'm 1 stone less of a blip.

Hi Katesa,

That's great news! I've been wondering if there are any cancers that have increased weight as a symptom (due to the 7 pounds that I've put on!) in 2 weeks.

Don't think there are any, so just me pigging out over Christmas then...

[hangingbasket]

Bloody hell Kate!! Well done!
And also well done on your reaction to it!
I really need to lose weight but I'm not at the stage where I'm ready to do that yet. Too scared! Good for you

Boast away my sweet, give the rest of us a nudge in the right direction

I think Pomchi, that you had a temporary bout of the lesser known "Gluttonous mince pie-trough" disease. It has many symptoms including weight gain and even heartburn, but you will be pleased to hear it's not terminal

[Pomchi]

Ah, that'll be it! Couldn't find that particular illness on google - maybe I'll start a trend

I put a stone on,I'm not a blip I'm a blob

[missacorah]

I heard it can be terminal if Morrisons keep selling their iced mince pies?

[katesa]

Aw thanks HB and Missacorah!

One down and - umm, well I won't say how many, but I will say I blame it ALL on my baby (yes, even 10 months later) - to go!

That's fantastic, and there I was feeling a bit smug that I had avoided weight gain.
