Monday weigh in success

I was dreading today's weigh in as I spent most of the weekend eating, but I actually lost weight last week.
I didn't mean to stuff my face, it wasn't like I had slumped to a food-bingeing low or anything, I just had two very meal-oriented family gatherings.
The first on Saturday involved a lovely large cooked dinner with seconds to follow, and then a bit of tea in the evening where much cheese was consumed and I learned how to make a pavlova.
Don't think it will be as easy as it looked. Both sittings involved large helpings of puddings too.
The second event was a barbecue for my dad's birthday yesterday where I had a cheeseburger, two barbecued spare ribs, several chicken drumsticks and two large sausages. More meat than was probably healthy for me, and followed again by lots of cheese and things like that.
I was fully expecting to have put on about half a stone, but it appears I have actually lost three and a half pounds and I am now a svelte 16 st and 11 1/2 lbs. It's the lightest I've been for a couple of years I think.
Total weight loss now standing at 16 and 1/2 lbs since May 5.
The meeting leader Lisa announced this to everybody and I went as red as the ketchup in my burger last night.
Anyway I treated myself with some sushi and salad for lunch.
