@Josefinejem...Don't be hard on yourself. Its extremely hard to eat healthy sometimes when you travel. I went to Galva Illinois a few weeks ago and it was really tough. Its a very small town where almost all the food is fried, high in calories, and loaded with salt! I did my best to try and choose smart and also made sure I took walks. When eating out at restaurants most of the food is loaded with salt. I feel so bloated after eating out and I have gluten issues also and they didn't offer gluten free options either. I give you tons of credit knowing you would be out of town to even join the group while doing that. I also give you credit for stating you messed up and gained weight. I give you a huge applause for getting right back to the grind now that you are home. Alot of people would say....I messed up, blew the challenge, and I will just wait until a new challenge next month! So give yourself a big hug and have a great week back on track!5 -

Even though I worked out this evening, the next KB session is tomorrow morning so that I can do a Gyrotonic (weighted stretching) session with my trainer in the afternoon. I want to ensure I'm moving through the hinge movements correctly when it comes to my swing dynamics and not messing anything up.
May as well figure it out now and avoid lower back problems later.6 -

I’m having big problems signing into the community.
I can’t get access via my PC and it’s sketchy with my phone.
I had a 3 yes day.
Now I’m going to try to post this. It may get rejected8 -

Yes x3
Afternoon walk and another day of no alcohol so even though I ate a lot, I was under calories by a good amount when logging.
Enjoying my yogurt-based recipes. Lunch was an apple with a yogurt-PB-honey-salt dip and with dinner I had a side of carrots, celery, and a homemade spicy herb full-fat Greek yogurt dip. Between the fiber from the veggies and the fat in the sauce, it's a filling yet low-calorie option.7 -

Just an example of why you shouldn’t put too much pressure on your weekly weigh in.
This past week was the first time in the last 18 months that I have consistently weighed under 75kgs with three weigh in in a row coming in below that. Yesterday I was 74.5kg. This morning I’m 75.8kg. I know I didn’t put on over a kg in a day and its due to a variety of factors including hormones.
I understand daily weighing doesn’t work for everyone, but remember the limitations of your chosen weigh in schedule and don’t let one number get you down. Use it for motivation and see what next week’s number does.
I personally use daily weigh ins so I can get a good picture of when my weight fluctuates from hormones so I can ensure that I won’t be hit by a random increase on a fight day and be bumped up a weigh division. But I don’t get too concerned about the numbers most of the time. I celebrate when they drop below my next mini goal (even if they jump back up occasionally). If we are consistent with the healthy habits this group promotes, the numbers will drop! Not always as fast as we want, but trust the process and it will come.10 -

This is so true. I'm considering daily weighing for this reason - ideally I'd love to not weigh at all, but I know that doesn't really work for me.
@MadisonMolly2017 @amandaross887 @davert123 @heidipatterson100 @ginadomaszewicz - thank you all so much for kind words and encouragement! This gain is likely not a fluke as I went off the rails with the eating even before I went away, but much thanks to this group I'm back on track and more motivated than ever.8 -
Yeay, I have calories left that I did not eat back. Very stressfull day, yet I took the opportunity to get out on my 🚴♀️, even if for a much shorter ride than I would have liked to. I also lifted 🏋️♀️ and that turned my mood around (from almost dispair to confidence).
So a good day w.r.t. accountability.
You ppl are like a wonderful family! So supportive of each other❣🌻👍 Being part of this group is a blessing.8 -

☝🏿Mmmk, about this fruit dip @cjane917, do you have a recipe, please?!
In the main forums, so many people mention mixing non-traditional things into yogurts (Jello, PB, etc) but this is the first time I've been interested. I think your addition of salt put me over the top (especially since I have some smoked salt I'd like to try in this concoction)!3
