Back from my holiday and we had so much fun. The weather wasn't the best but it was warm and we didn't get rained on. Spent the whole time just relaxing, we did a fair bit of walking and did a Quad Bike sunset tour which was brilliant! Got to see some turtles, hand fed a sweet Minor bird who visited our villa each morning while I was eating breakfast on the patio and our villa was next to a tree where a pair of kestrels were nesting so we got to watch them feeding their babies all day. It was just awesome.
No surprises gained nearly four kilos but I know some of that at least is fluid retention.
So back to normal for me from today (we got back yesterday). Hopefully see a drop next week with loss of water weight but either way I'm back! Good luck for August everyone.1 -

Yesterday I was down 4lbs to 279 but up 7 lbs from that today at 286?! Pretty disappointed after being quite a bit under my calorie goal most days this week and logging everything properly. I can only hope it's a weird blip (I was quite salty yesterday? lol) and that next week will will be good :S1 -

I really hate how weight fluctuates ugh
We shouldn’t weigh ourselves more than once a week for that reason
I know, I’m guilty of it myself lol
Next week will be better for you!! You got this!

The greatest thing about getting back on track is how quickly the pounds come off at first. I hope this keeps up till the end of the month at least. 🤞🏼

Numbers are so out of whack. I put on a heap of weight after my holiday but as expected it's come off very quickly because it was majority retained water. Thank goodness. So 0.7kg away from my last weigh in before I went away. Hopefully I hit that next week then onwards and downwards!
@Gnawcraft Bodies are weird. It's annoying that they don't follow our weigh in schedule lol. It's one of the reasons I weight daily so I can see the trend and am not relying on a single day to judge how I'm going. I always used to hang on that day and be so emotional about the result. Weighing daily I feel I get a more accurate idea of what's going on more long term. If that makes sense
@StacieBugPrude Yeah those early weight loss gains are lovely. Well done! Good that you've reassessed your goal. Keep up the good work.
@bbwkitten Well done on the weight loss so far this month! You're doing so well. Keep it up.2 -

I'd be mad but seeing as the scales went as high as 295 this week I guess it's fine? Weight has been flying all over the place within about 12 lbs difference at times :S No idea why. I had expected a really good week though lol. For 2 weeks now I've managed 3-4 days without booze (all of those days coming in way under the 1600 I'm allowed according to MFP). As someone that for 20 years has drank a minimum of about 1000 calories a day it's pretty crazy. Never thought I would go a day without so just happy with that for now.1 -

Small gain this week, can't say I'm surprised, I thought it might be more. I've not been tracking, and food hasn't been great. We had a reward lunch at work, I had a bad binge one day and just have been eating more in general at night. We went out for our monthly date night last night which was amazing, there was a live swing quartet playing, but it involved alcohol and yummy food of course. So plan for this week is to track 100% even if I'm dealing with a binge. I'd really like to get back to where I was on my last official weigh before I went on holiday for the end of this month.2 -

Well, I managed to hold my goal weight, which is surprising. I had 2 serious cheat days. I'm going to try to get in a 15 minute walk everyday, for as long as I can fit them in. I might put my fitbit back on, it's been at least 7 months of not wearing it. I really hope to get back on track0 -

Well I managed to get back to my pre-holiday weight. I did better at tracking but definitely wasn't 100% I still had a couple of binges this week but I was good on the other days which helped to offset it I guess. Looking forward to the new month and hopefully seeing some more downward movement as this month has basically been clawing my way back to where I was last month haha.
@Americanbabydoll Vacations are a pain but so worth it in the end. You're right. We got this
@Gnawcraft Well done on recovering from the gain earlier in the month! Onwards and downwards
@bbwkitten Agree, September is going to be a good one. I can feel it in my bones!
@StacieBugPrude Yay well done on hitting your goal for the month, amazing result. Small changes lead to big results. My fit watch thing has also not been on my wrist much this month. Good luck for September!1
It was back to 279 today so not sure why it was all over the place this month! I'm excited for September though ^_^
