Struggles/Successes: Still not back to goal. I would really like to get back there. A repeat from last week: "I know I just need to eat a little less for a few weeks, but it is really hard to cut back. I'll keep logging what I eat and exercise." I didn't log food every day and didn't go on my walks every day. It's a new week!1 -
Away on vacation - all-inclusive hotel in Gran Canaria.
Trying to watch the portion sizes, eating a lot of fish, salad, fruit.
We're doing quite a lot of walking every day and I swim in the pool every day.
I'll see the damage when I get home next week.1 -

Successes of the week:
Tried on all my ski gear for holiday in January… all the salopettes are WAY too big, and flap around like clown trousers! I decided to treat myself to some new (pre-owned) ones… they’re a very small size 12, so I can’t over-indulge over Christmas or they won’t fit!
Struggles of the week:
Not yet back to running, as even attending yoga class whacked me out. Now the wet and wild weather is putting me off!1 -
Flew back to the UK on Sunday, got home midday Monday, first weigh-in this morning.
50.9 kg - but obviously skewed by travel retentions.
Next week I'll see the true damage done by two weeks all-inclusive holiday.1 -

Successes/struggles of the week: Average weight stayed stable for the second week in a row, though the day to day variation was a smaller amount/less fluctuation, which dropped my trending weight. Of course, this past weekend was filled with indulgences celebrating my birthday, so I expect the next report to be on the higher end as my weight went up quite a bit and has not dropped down yet.0 -

Successes of the week:
Tried on all my ski gear for a holiday in January… all my salopettes are too big. Bought some new ones which fit perfectly - but they won’t allow room for over-indulgence over Christmas: decided to cut out alcohol and desserts on the run up to create (literally) a bit of breathing room!
Struggles of the week:
Still not back to running - it’s too cold and miserable first thing in the morning. I will aim to get out there over the Christmas break when I can run mid-morning, and see if I can get back into the swing of it.0 -

Success/struggles:
I was away on holiday for 2 weeks, flew back to the UK on Sunday the 8th, stayed overnight in the airport hotel and came home on Monday the 9th. My first weigh-in at home on Tuesday the 10th was 50.9 kg.
I got straight back into my usual eating patterns, keeping just a small deficit below my maintenance calorie allowance while the travel retentions came off.
I dropped 0.5 kg each day for the next three days, down to 49.4 on Friday. Since then, I have eased down to just over 49 kg. Happy with that. I'm about 1 kg higher than before I went away - not bad for 2 weeks all-inclusive break.

Successes/struggles of the week: Last week's bump up wasn't as high as I thought it would be. Still working to reduce calories eaten and be better about workouts, though it is tough going into the holidays.1 -
Question - any thoughts or objections to having one continuous check-in thread instead of a new one each month? I was thinking that that might be easier to just have one continuous thread. If that works, then in January I'll create a new thread (without the month listed) that we can use as our main thread.4
-
It would save having to look for the new thread each month and make it easy to look back over a period of time that covers more than just the calendar month.
It might get very long, but if so, perhaps a new thread each year? At the moment our monthly threads don't always exceed one page.3 -
One thread for the year will work just fine, I think? Posting here keeps me accountable!2

Sounds good!1

Successes of the week:
I would have caved on the ‘no alcohol’ after a busy day yesterday, but since there wasn’t a cold bottle of wine in the fridge it was easier to grab the cold no-alcohol (low calorie) pale ale. Christmas will be even more special with a little wine and the odd pudding, so I can hold off until then!
Struggles of the week:
The week before Christmas, are you kidding? Present shopping, cleaning spare rooms, food shopping, getting loose ends finished at work… and my daughter is getting divorced and her soon-to-be-ex-husband is being his usual selfish, thoughtless self. Other than that? None!0
