My scales are showing a loss of 7 lbs in 11 days....do any of you knowledgeable people know how much of that is likely to be water? I know realistically that is probably not 'real' weight loss, but I'd like to think some of it is!0

Evening All
I am sitting here at DS's babysitting and feeling exhausted as I've been having disturbed sleep due to toothache (Snap savesummore). I had a check up at the dentist last week and he decided two very old fillings need replacing - which isn't being done till the end of October. In the meantime, all the poking about he did has meant I can't eat or drink anything hot or cold without it twinging!
However, I have just rooted in my handbag to answer a text from DH and found some chocolate he'd put in for me to find as a treat!
B: Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.
L: 2 poached eggs on 2 slices of toast.Sole with green beans and cheese sauce. HM chocolate mousse.
Snack: Half a Twirl
Exercise: 1 hours Pilates. Walks to and from work etc adding up to about 2 miles. It would have been more but I'm so tired I've been accepting lifts.

Yesterday's food...
B-tea, porridge with raspberries and soya yogurt
S- small banana
L - 3 plain ryvita, tuna, lettuce, carrot, tomatoes. Then a slice of bread and jam with a cup of tea!
D- salmon cooked in ginger, honey and soy. Vegetable stir fry with just a tiny amount of noodles.
The scales say I've lost another lb (I know I shouldn't weigh every day!) which brings it to 8lbs in 2 weeks. Not sure of that is correct or not,..,need to make sure it doesn't just all go back on at the weekend!
Hope everyone has a good Friday!0
