Hi Sherry,
Of course your mind turns to the worst...but just maybe you have been more active than you realize and burning more calories. While 4 pds. is not a big weight loss, it could even be mostly water loss. Have you eaten more fruit or blueberries? Certain fruits and veggies are natural diuretics...you do not have any other symptoms
and feel good otherwise I would not stress...(I know easier said then done) maybe you could move up your scans a month sooner and this would give you some comfort.
I would think if the weight loss is steady each week and you are eating the same amount of calories /and not adding additional exercise...then maybe you want to go further with a check up/or even have some blood work done. For the most part though I don't think 4 pds.
should cause you to stress.
Love your photo of you and your beautiful family!
All Good Wishes,
jean
