An odd thing I discovered when I was a kid. When you are sitting or lying down for a period your rest heart rate can slow quite a bit. Sudden standing (or vertical movement of head relative to heart) can cause fainting/blackout as your heart rate, if too low can't catch up to the increased pressure needed to supply your brain in it's new position fast enough. Hit the floor a couple of times myself for that issue.
Down about seven pounds myself over 2 months. Just improving the quality of what I eat and trimming a small bit. Still splurge every once in a while though. KInowing that I can go off the rails occasionally allows me to say no to that slice of cake/ plate of fries more easily.
Congrats on the losses!
Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
