I remember people talking about water retention, especially after holidays and flying.
I got home about 9pm yesterday after our flight and weighed myself at 9am this morning. I am heavier than before I went away, even though I was walking a lot and didn't overindulge in treats.
I've never really paid attention to weight fluctuations at holiday times. I read that the air on planes can dehydrate you and cause water retention but that it goes away in a couple of days.
What are your experiences with your weight after flying?
Tomorrow's my allotted weigh-in day, so I'll see if there's any difference. Before my hols, I was 79.9kg, today I'm 81.3kg.2 -

Thankful for any loss at all after binging on so much chocolate last Sunday. I haven't done that in almost a year. Good news is, made myself sick to my stomach so I won't be doing that again for awhile. At least not for another year, I hope.
Have a great week!4 -
Weigh in day Thursday
PW149.?
CW 145.5
Phew, back to my goal after bouncing up and down for a few weeks. My appetite changes day to day so its hard to stay StableWeigh in day: Thursday
Current weight: 146.2
Previous weight: 148.6 (weight last week)
Starting weight (as of Jan 1, 2023): 151.6
Down 5 lbs in 12 days , which is a lot for me! Hope to continue this trend.
Question- does “previous weight” refer to the weight we were when we started the challenge, or the weight at our weigh in the previous week?
SW= starting weight, which could be team start or overall start, your choice.
PW=last weigh in, typically last week, but if you miss a week, it could be two weeks previous.
CW=your weighin this week.BodyTalking wrote: »I remember people talking about water retention, especially after holidays and flying.

I've seen a lot of losses this week. Yay!
NSV: I hosted a webinar yesterday but was not the presenter. I've heard the presentation in one way or another about two dozen times and it was a bit mind numbing the first time. Instead of staying in my chair, I walked around my cube. Probably not a lot of steps but more than if I'd stayed in the chair.
Hubs and I have decided to drive to the city tonight for Ethiopian food when I get back from work (he has the day off). Yay! Yum!5 -

Oh boy, I'm always SO bloated after flying. The dry air dehydrates, the salty snacks require more water to be processed, poor sleep quality puts additional stress on your body (which also retains water!), if all the walking and activity created microtears in your muscles, that's also water retention... there's so many factors.
For me personally, Multiple Sclerosis makes my body extremely sensitive to changes in routine, pressure, temperature, etc. Water retention comes easy, especially if I am not doing anything to keep my environment in check.3 -
I was feeling guilty this morning for not going to my aquafit class (snowy roads) but I think I probably got a better workout shoveling my driveway. Uhgg … winter!6

January Week Two - Friday Weigh Day
Previous Weight: 171.6 lbs
Current Weight: 171 lbs
Loss to Date: 63 lbs
Given the stress and craziness of this past week, I am more than happy with this little loss. My eating has been all over the place, ranging from a dairy-filled Mexican restaurant lunch on Monday for my first day of the new job, to a spinach and mushroom egg scramble last night because I haven't been grocery shopping recently, and that was something I could throw together easily.
Despite saying I was going to do it, I did not go to the gym on Tuesday night. Instead, I woke up ridiculously early on Wednesday and got my workout in. And then did the same thing on Thursday. Given the long commute and the time I'd be getting to my gym if I were to commit to an after-work workout, the likelihood of me just skipping it due to hunger or tiredness is way too high.
Here's my tentative workout schedule:
M - High Intensity Strength Class at the gym after working from home OR Rest Day
Tu - Gym workout before work (Lower Body)
W - Gym workout before work (Upper Body)
Th - Gym workout before work (Cardio/Core)
F - Resistance training with personal trainer friend during lunch break while working from home
Sa - Rest Day
Su - Full Body/Whatever Isn't Sore
Tuesday through Friday is essentially set in stone. The rest of the week can vary depending on how I am feeling, or make up for deficiencies through the week due to illness/travel/holidays/etc. Being able to work from home on Mondays and Fridays is going to help me a lot with staying on track, and provide a bit of flexibility when I need it.8 -
@minstrelofsarcasm & @melaniedscott thank you for your replies about water retention after travelling.
I get the bloated tummy feeling and just want to get off the plant and to the nearest loo to burst that bubble 💩💨 but, yip, it takes time to budge. There, I said it! 😄 (sorry to all the others).
It's true, I probably didn't drink enough water but had beer, which was, no doubt, the worst thing I should have done while being so thirsty.
Micro-tears! Didn't think about that, thanks, and I didn't sleep well the previous couple of nights. You're both very knowledgeable and I appreciate your insights.
My one-day-work-week is over! I've been teaching online, therefore sitting all day, and have only done 4½k steps so far - went for a 30+ minute walk. I'm tired and need to rest before finding the oomph to get another 4k recorded.
I'll check in tomorrow ⚖️🤞

Minstrelofsarcasm, Well done on doing all those exercises before work 👏
Melaniedscott, Well done on hosting the webinar and for keeping moving 👏 I'd love to hear what you ate at the Ethiopian restaurant.
@lamafrespirit I'm glad I don't have to shovel snow but, yes, it's a great workout 👍
@GinLee61 That's great to have kept the chocolate binge weight off 👍

Good Morning Group, I was 300 calories over my goal yesterday. Went out with hubby and had 2 drinks. Boy.... alcoholic drinks have a lot of calories. But I still ate less than my body burns so I guess thats good. Today I am getting my eyes checked. I need new glasses. My eyes got worse fast this year. Seems like the older I get the worse they get! We are also going out to dinner with friends tonight. I am going to look at the menu before hand to take the guess work out of the food. Lets have a great on plan weekend!!5

@cyndiesstuff As long as you burn off more than you consume, you're in the zone! Eyesight does decline and it can be a bit scary and odd when you notice the differences. I need to get mine checked too as I've only been using cheap reading glasses since it started. Have a fun night out.3

BodyTalking Weigh-in-Saturday
🔸Starting weight: 81.7 kg/180.12 lb
🔸Previous weight: 79.9 kg/176.15 lb
🔸Current weight: 80.9 kg/178.35 lb
Well, that's lower than yesterday, fingers crossed 🤞 the flight-fluctuation-gain will settle this weekend 😊
Now, I must decide whether to buy a full-length mirror or go on holiday again next year, you know, just to get the progress pics 🤔
I took these in the hotel as I didn't have a full length photo of my lumps and bumps that I clearly have to work on 🫣 arms, belly, bust = ABBs! The other bits will fall into place if I concentrate on the ABBs ☺️ Here goes....
Edit:
Hmm, would BABs be better? Bust Arms Belly? Probably 😂
2nd Edit:
BLABs! Bust, Legs, Arms, Belly! That's what I'm calling it 😄 I think I need to put my phone down and get working on them 🤭

Weigh In Day: Saturday
PW (Previous Weight): 239.6
CW (Current Weight): 238
A loss! Woohoo! My big NSVs this week are:- I finally went to bed early last night and, therefore, got to check off all my habits on the habit tracker for the day.
- I said "no" to hot chocolate my husband offered me in an emotionally raw moment. I really wanted it for comfort, but I didn't have many calories left and knew I could use them more efficiently on a different snack.

I really can't wait to be back in the 190's. For the past 6 months or so I seem to get down to about 202 then gain back 5 to 7 pounds. Then lose it and regain it. I'm trying really hard. I was hoping by my birthday (January 31st) I'd be 199.9 but I don't think it will happen by then. But as long as I keep losing and keep trying, that's all that matters.
I also started measuring myself again, which I haven't done in at least 5 years. Between now and December 18th, I've lost 5.5 inches between my stomach, thighs, calves and arms. 2.5 in just my waist!8 -

@Zumba_Luvah You've got the right attitude and your measurements are showing that you're going in the right direction. Keep moving forward and you'll be in the 190s before you know it. I hope you get there or closer for your birthday 🎈3

Things are moving in the right direction! I took a picture today, and I could see a difference from just two weeks ago. I was really excited!5
