Patty, sorry to make it sound so little, but in the UK 28lbs is only 2 stones (14lbs to the stone, 16 oz to the lb).

I've been so damned tired this last few days... don't know whether it's a by-product of the change in diet, the change in excercise or a sypmtom of what I've got (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease or NAFLD) but it's a complete pain in the ass when I get home from work and miss my favourite programme because I've fallen asleep in the chair. Thank heaven for digital box recording is all I can say!

Bit more walking today, lots more walking next weekend.
