I have internet access for my last week away but still no scales I was delighted to fit into all of those old 38" waist trousers upon my arrival 4 weeks ago but I think an over indulgence in wine and beer has added more than a few pounds and those same trousers are pinching a bit!
So, one week to go and I am going to try really hard by cutting out the alcohol, the food has not been a problem, to make sure that on my next Monday weigh in on the 30th will not be too much of a shock!
I shall enjoy reading your posts and catching up with your stories this week
Have a lovely Sunday everyone - John

What a lovely photo! You look like you are having a fabulous time. Enjoy the sunshine and the treats, and I am sure any holiday pounds will not hang around long once you get back home and into healthy eating. I must say you look very trim in the photo 😀
You're looking relaxed and happy in your photo, and it's great to 'see' you again!!! We've missed you!!!
Hope it's all going well, and I'm glad you've been enjoying yourself, and hopefully enjoying lots of lovely sunshine and delicious food. As I look out the window just now, it is actually pouring with rain! Grey sky...! I'm hoping it will brighten up later so I can have a walk. I need to 'walk my pineapple' (refer to Hidden 's 20,000 Leagues Challenge if you're wondering why there are photos of people with pineapples happening currently in the forum)
Thank you Lowcal, It has been a nice break, I had some gardening to do over here as well, can't seem to get away from it, but the sunshine has been as expected and just relaxing.
Yes I saw the pineapples, I will have to see the original posts as I am not sure walking around with a pineapple will go down well in Bolton!
Hi John, lovely to see you, lucky you, all that lovely sunshine! You look great and look like you're having a lovely time! Life is for living John and having fun! So don't worry about a few pounds they'll be history when you're back with us!
Hi ,your on holiday ,,,,relax the scales can wait , you can indulge yourself on holiday ,, that's one of the enjoyments of holidays, looks like your in a lovely place ,stop beating yourself up ,,,,,you can always do a bit of exersise like a nice walk along the beach ,
Yay the trousers fitted! Sounds like you've been balancing being good and having a good time. Fit of clothes can be as good a measure as scales anyway. Have a great last week away, and hope the waistbands loosen up a bit or at least don't get any tighter?
Thank you Ruth, I am bringing back all of the smaller trousers anyway, found more than I thought I had, as well as shirts too so A right result! Fortunately I travelled here with no hold baggage at all so plenty of room for them all! John
Don't spoil your final week's holiday, just have what you please and deal with it on return. It won't take you long, and for such a long holiday it sounds as if you've done really well in any event!
I am currently on an 8 day trip to Rhodes and already feeling a bit bloated ( can I blame the heat?) 😄
Maybe a bit more walking and dancing? You don't look any fatter. And I don't think you're holding your breath! Enjoy your last week. You can deal with the scales when you get back.
Hi. Good luck with those scales. I have just returned home after 1 week all inclusive holiday in Spain with my husband and despite lots of exercise and trying really hard to make the healthy choices I gained 3 lb :(. It is definitely the extra alcohol that makes the calorie intake too high. I intend to rid myself of that 3 lb very quickly as I am going on holiday again in 7 weeks. Hope you don't get too much of a shock when you brave the scales.
Wow only a 3lb gain on an all inclusive holiday? I don't think you really got your money's worth there harobed ! Yes 7 weeks should be enough time to lose enough to gain again
Looks like you are having a great time - enjoy the sunshine - here in Edinburgh we have had freak hailstones this morning, then rain and then the sun came out. See you at the weigh-in!
Hailstones in May? Oh well not so surprising, we are hoping it rained in Lancashire whilst we were away as we have started a new garden and would not have wanted 4 weeks of sunshine to suddenly hit Bolton. (I know, silly statement)
Hi John I don't live too far from Bolton and it was quite dry the first maybe three weeks you were away but we've had lots of rain over the last week! And a lot of it quite heavy! So the ground definitely needed it! 😊
