The damage - 10lbs which, although expected, was still a bit hard to swallow.
The good news, I'm feeling positive and I'm determined to lose as much of it as possible before our first appointment. That gives me two weeks and 5 days. Crikey, where did that time go? I have been so stressed about the weight situation as I had got it into my head that I needed to be ready by 1 February. I'm concerned that the doctors and nurses will be judging me because I am slightly overweight and, on top of that, I am so annoyed with myself for doing so well and then, when it comes to the crunch, losing sight of the importance of it and putting a good percentage of it back on. Anyway, I've stopped stressing about it and realised that I am not running out of time because, not only do I have two and a half weeks, I also have the time between the appointment and the start of treatment. A weight loss of 10lbs is not impossible.
Today seemed to mark the start of something completely different to what I have been experiencing for the past few weeks. I actually felt excited. It dawned on me just how excited I was when I read this post by One who understands. It made 1 February so much more real.
The mum situation hasn't been resolved yet as she has been ill so, definitely not the right time to hit her with a heart to heart. Thank you for the comments about sharing or not sharing information with family and friends, it really helped. Whatever happens, I am not going to stress about it.

Even when I set yourself up for the increased number on the scale, a tiny part of me hopes I am wrong and it's gone in hte other direction. :)
You can most certainly do 10lb, its better to start now than not do anything and have 15 to contend with instead!!
Hope your mum is back to her old self soon. And that you're not stressing over what to do and not to do.
Good luck with the weight loss. But don't stress (or get demoralised) if you don't hit your target - every little helps.
Good luck. And good luck with the 'mum situation' (I still haven't told my Dad about my current situation, precisily because he gets upset and stresses out and I can't handle it right now).
It sounds like you have your mind focused in the right direction. Anything you can do to better prepare your body is a good thing (in my opinion) when approaching a treatment cycle. It's certainly exciting to see how close you are getting!! :)
