JawJaw, you are right weight is weight though I disagree that it's only water retention.

Wow eight pounds that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason people feel so tired after a high fat meal is because fat in the food causes the blood to "sludge" within a few hours. Oxygen isn't circulating as well and thusly you feel tired. Is'nt it great not to feel that way anymore?

Wow, just great JJ, keep going girl!
