    Two weeks in (this time, anyway) and I've lost the size of an average newborn. Considering one of the main things kicking my butt in gear this time is losing weight to start fertility treatments, I'll take it! :smile:

    I don't have a frickin clue lol! I initially thought it would be the weight of an average person's skin without muscle and bone etc, but then I realised it would weigh a lot more than 6lb surely? Hahaha :lol:
