2 lbs is a good place to start Beyond. Forget about the last few weeks and focus on what you can do about it, you will have the weight gone in no time. I have loads of weight to lose but I reckon that a bit of a weight loss is better than none at all.
GBL (gastric band lady) is my friends MIL, I'm probably outing myself spectacularly. There's been a little group of 4 of us who had had kids in the last few years doing ww together. We couldn't all afford the classes so we just said we'd set up our own little gang and see how we could do.
So GBL joined later, she has done ww many times and had put back on a huge amount of weight (she was claiming to be a size 16 but was clearly a size 22-24) but seemed to be in absolute denial about it, as we were to discover. We'd all meet up, have coffee and swap tips and recipes and log in our weight. As with here, everyone went through periods of losing/gaining and STS, but GBL recently managed to lose nearly double of everyone else. We weighed ourselves in our own homes so we had no way to check if this was true.
Anyway, my friend (her DIL) reached her goal weight and had bought herself a pair of size 10 jeans. She looked really amazing and we were all delighted for her, except GBL who said she could do with a bit of toning up as she had a muffin top. Friend really didn't, they fitted her perfectly. So GBL would trot out little comments, if someone stayed the same she would do a pretend scolding voice saying they weren't motivated. We all began to get very annoyed and friend felt like crap because she had encouraged her to join us.
So anyway, if you're still with me. GBL went away to Spain at the start of the Spring for 6 weeks. She came back looking the same, but suddenly started dropping a lot of weight. She looks very gaunt now but is still quite big, I'd say a size 16 top and 18 bottoms. She has a very big frame and is very tall, maybe 6ft. The only person I can think of is the actress Miranda Hart would be similar but GBL would be broader. So GBL would never be skinny because her frame is broad.
My friends DH copped something was up when his Dad said they had to go back to Spain for GBL to have a check-up for her stomach. Friends DH asked what was going on and his Dad changed the subject and said she'd had a tummy bug when they were away and it's common procedure in Spain for a doctor to want you to come back for a check up. There was also some letter hanging around GBL's kitchen from a hospital advising on post-surgical care. Friends DH doesn't have a great relationship with his parents so this sort of thing would not be talked about. But friends DH is certain she had the op as she had been talking about it years ago when her friend had had it done.
We haven't said anything to GBL about the fact we have our suspicions, we've decided to keep quiet unless she gets absolutely unbearable. None of us have an issue with her having gotten it done, we're more annoyed that she goes out of her way to be a cow to some of us who are really struggling with our weight and our self-image in general and she acts like she is so much better than us.
