A friend who came away eat everything in sight ,they were like a seagull .eating others food as well

So I don't feel too bad after seeing how much rubbish they managed to swallow.

Thanks ceals

No way you would do that Gary. Eating healthily pervades everything I find. I am feeding everyone in a much more healthy way without denying anybody anything.

Thanks

Hi Gary, I hope you had a fantastic break. Although you have shown far more restraint than I ever could, you have been out of your normal routine. When I do this my weight goes up for a bit, but it is a temporary change, so give it a few days. As a reforming carb addict I can relate to the carbs king! Take care. James

Hi James,

I had some carbs whilst away ,but someone who hasn't seen me for 12 months noticed I've lost weight and commented ,so that was nice .

Gary

I may have had a 'little bit' of alcohol yesterday too Hidden . Not as much as my epic fail a few weeks ago, but more than I should have drunk. Confession is good for the soul apparently :D I really hope you are enjoying your hols. James

in reply to James40Cheshire

Thanks James I am

Once home the alcohol will go again 😁

Thanks cracker10,

I had a few alcoholic drinks gin and tonic as low in calories.

I had no bread ,had a cheese tomato and spinach pizza topped with an egg ,which was amazing .

Lots of walking,did a bit or running but far too hot.

Hope you have a nice break .

Big quick gains could well be followed by a big quick loss. Fingers crossed Gary and good luck for Wednesday.

You'll find that a lot of that "gain" isn't "real weight"... as long as you get straight back to it, the majority of it will be gone by Wednesday (promise!)

Long flights can affect the scales gman1961 so I would weigh again after 48 hours 😊

I doubt you will have gained much actual fat (if any)

Hi Gary

Glad you are back on track. Bet you had a good time on hols and you’ll soon be back to where you were so don’t stress. You can do it.

I think I probably have also gained and I have another 8 days hols . I am going to skip breakfast and just have salad at lunch and fish tonight in an endeavour to keep on track. No wine tonight either .

Returning to the Caribbean and at sea till tomorrow when we visit Devils Island which is a museum now and takes approx 2 hours to walk the island It’s chucking down tropical rain this morning so it’s the treadmill or the ships corridors for the 10000 steps!

Hoping for sun later
