 A. My waiting only began August 4th. and
 B: I had just lost 11 and still had 10 to go! I am back on the bandwagon so to speak tomorrow......goodbye whoopie pies and beer.  :\\\'(

Which visa?  I definitely didn't gain any weight waiting for my first (fiance) visa as I was working extra shifts to save money and my job was active and I walked to and from work every day.  In fact, that's the thinnest I've been in the past few years.  The next two visas got easier stress-wise (and preparation-wise) so there was less worrying.  Don't think I overate as  direct result of either of them, but I'm not as thin as I was during the first one!

I'm actually finding the opposite. The stress has made my appetite practically non-existant so I've been losing weight. I go to bed earlier and sleep in longer (if I can) as well because the more time I'm asleep, the less time I'm awake and worrying about it all... ::)

Can't wait for this to be over!

This is word for word what is happening for me.  I have decided to start napping in the day as well for the same reason ... except it's really hard to fall asleep when you are worrying! ::)

I am just trying to not gain any weight before I even start this visa process.
Got a big day to prepare for, and only a few months to lose all this extra stuff I got...... :P
