Oh Skint don't be disappointed. I had a few weeks of gaining and losing the same pound but loads of people commented on how much weight I had lost. I think of it as your body catching up on the weight you have lost. If clothes are fitting you that didnt before then you are definitely changing shape and losing inches. xxxPay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000
