Weekly weigh in - Fridays

Well done everyone again and commiserations if you are struggling. I am still away and I am dreading the scales when I get back, it has been hard to keep on track while everyone else is indulging! See you all next week, have a good one.
 
Weight loss/gain is weird! 2 days ago I went out for lunch - first time in 3 years. I had whitebait followed by crab salad (no dressings or carbs). It was lovely! Dinner was a pork chop with sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli. So effectively I ate around twice what I normally do in a day.

Following morning I was 1lb lighter. This morning as well.

Maybe I should eat out more!!!
 
Hi everyone - I am baaaaack from my holiday away. Now, I have had a rough few weeks with some minor surgery 4 days before I left for my holiday, which was painful and slow to heal. It bothered me a bit while I was away, but I still had a great time. My only concern was that it was hard to eat low carb as I was eating with family members who eat a lot. I did my best though. Then as soon as I got back home, I was hit with a nasty flu virus and have been laid low with it ever since, so no exercise since I got back and a bit of comfort eating, although I did a lot of hiking on holiday prior. So I was dreading the scales this morning, but I am glad to say I have lost 1lb despite everything. Phew! Mind you, that means I only lost 1lb for all of September, LOL. Oh well, now I am feeling a bit better, I can get back on track to lose those final 3.5lbs.

On the NSV (non-scale victory) front, I was delighted to not need an extension belt for the flights and also to meet up with people I haven't seen for over a year and they were so amazed at my weight loss. Also, just being able to get around and about and enjoy my time away was the best thing ever, it makes it all so worthwhile.

That must have been a boost for you, and for your future weight loss. I'm so pleased for you.

I joined a gym, and have been twice, but despite that I only lost 1lb this week. I'm still chasing that next milestone of 15st.
 
Hi everyone - how have you all done this week? I managed to lose 1lb despite still being under the weather with this virus, which I am probably using as an excuse to comfort eat a bit. On top of that, I am extra busy at work, so less time for my fitness activities.

Still, a loss is great at this stage in the game for me, so I will take it!
