Congratulations, Melanie. You know, I bet the happy
dance burns calories :-). 

I don't want to punch a hole in your morale, but do be
aware that it is normal to fluctuate a few pounds, and
that household scales are not precision instruments.
So while this certainly isn't bad news, keep your best
hopes invested longer term and larger scale: months
and tens of pounds. Otherwise I'm afraid we might hear
about a sad dance soon, and that might really throw
you.

But as long as you keep that in mind, feel free to
brag about every little triumph. Encouragement always
helps, and any kind of loss is a great pretext to ask
for some.

Cautiously optimistic,

Reinhard
