    Hi leoni 

                   Its quite normal I was exactly the same some weeks only lost  half a 1lb but it was still a loss been on  3months and never had a week with no loss  keep going slow but sure will keep it coming off and will be more likely to stay off   good luck  xx Donna

      Thanks Donna. ...I passed a mile stone today as dropped into the 14 st bracket started in 16 st bracket so that spired me on a bit...my Dr said he doesn't want me to loose it to quick and if I do he will take me off them as it's less likely to stay off...but I'm just so impatient and want to see results. .... want to wear that black dress at Christmas!
