Any tips for traveling while keeping your calories where they need to be? I’m usually fine at home but if I go anywhere for even 2 days I gain a pound 🙁

Depends on if you travel for fun, with someone or alone. When I travel alone in the car for shorter trips, I pack healthy snacks (fruit, nuts, veggies) and sometimes whole meals in a cooler. For longer, there are some aseptically packaged stew-like foods that I like (indian, usually and brown rice) that, when eaten in actually listed portion size, are not bad nutritionally. Or sandwich stuff. Or I stop at a grocery for better options ehen I get where I'm going.

When traveling with hubs, we pack breakfast and lunch stuff (oatmeal, english muffins or bagels or boiled eggs, cream cheese and/or PBJ, and sandwich fixins (or prepped sandwiches with veg on the side), fruit, sliced fresh veg) and then only eat out for dinners. And snacks, trail mix, single serve chips, etc.

That can help. BUT (and it is a big one) it is pretty common for your weight to increase when traveling --it isn't always indicative of actual gains... sometimes it is just your body dealing with stress. Cortisol is a killer.

Nooo, I completely forgot to weigh in and contribute to the October stats! And I lost 3lb this week as well!

I still like having Monday morning as my weigh-in day - what's best for me to do please someone? Should I just record Monday's stats now or skip a week and start recording in Nov for November's stats?

I'm also not sure if I need to do anything to join the group for the November one or if I'm automatically rolled over as an October member?

I'd like to be excused this week for the weigh-in, I will participate in the step challenge though. (Who knows? Maybe we'll break the 3M record this month?)

I hope to resume weighing in next week.

You got it, one excusal coming right up!

I need to move my weigh-in day to Sunday

@healthygirlintransit - You got it! I will need your weight from this past Sunday for your weigh-in this week, unless you'd prefer we just copy over your weight from this past Saturday.

@gem_t_86 -

Whoa whoa whoa, deep breath.

You haven't missed a weigh-in, according to the spreadsheet. October's stats only went through the 29th, with the November stats starting on October 30th (a little confusing sometimes, but as long as you weigh in once a week, the team captains can keep everything on track).

Just record your Monday weigh-in now, and I'll enter it as your first weight for the month of November. The three pound loss will go into record for the results posted on Sunday.

As for your membership, it rolls over automatically - you are all set!

Thank you so much! In that case my Monday weigh in on *cough*Thursday*cough* is:

Current weight: 12stone 3lb
Previous weight: 12stone 6.25lb

Weigh in day: Friday
PW: 153
CW: 153

😐 Not surprising given that I was on a long flight from Rwanda to New York. I know that lack of sleep causes higher levels of ghrelin and hunger. If not for the calorie tracking I probably would have gained. Still getting over jet lag but I should be over it soon.
