I think I should just give up now.... By Sunday night last week I'd gained another 6.5 lbs - that's 10.75 lbs in just 4 days. I always do gain it really easily, but that's a record upwards blip even for me. Managed to lose one of them again by Thursday, but that's still up 5.5lbs on the week, and meant I was heavier now than at the start of Mamas 2005. I really haven't been eating so much that there's any logical explanation for gaining that much - honest! (Unless of course all you choclate eaters who've managed to lose have somehow been sending the calories my way when I wasn't looking)
More positive though - went shopping yesterday and seriously considered buying a pair of trousers to shock DH, simply because I they said "10" on the label, and I could get them on and do them up. OK they were stretchy, and they were too tight to be honest, and they were an American make (a US 10 is actually about a UK 14), but it still definately said 10 on the label. Discretion won in the end and I bought the ones marked "12" instead (and owned up to DH that they weren't really that size).
