A mixed week here. Good on the exercise front, with lots of walking, daily running and swim/biking having occurred. Dreadful number of calories consumed so I’m expecting an increase at next weigh in.

Ah but the exercise may off set the calories and you needed extra because of the exercise.Yoiu are on holiday so it is to be enjoyed.

I am eating way more calories just to get protein levels and I have to plan my week better and work on calories and protein.I just need time and a DND on my door which never happens with my OH.So plan day will be Sunday whilst watching London Marathon.

bit up and down for me but water and steps consistent
pt started last week - 9 to go
plus for the first time in months I am feeling physically better and wanting to exercise rather than making myself do it so that's progress!
work stress (still don't know if I have a job) and lack of exercise has seen me slowly gain weight the mind! It seems that the exercise was what was causing the stability of my weight
so now need to get back to training more
keep up with the fluids
and now pay attention to calories in more

You are doing well, Wp, and sounding strong.
Good to hear you are feeling ready for exercise, EP.

My food-fest resulted in a 1.3kg increase but I'm relieved to have been back on track since Sunday (Saturday I ate for England and seemingly had little control over it). I listed all the positive new habits and behaviours I've been following and vowed to tick off at least 5 that day. I managed all of them and have done each day since. I've lost 1.2kg since we got home :)

Thanks WP, i was in near the start but didn't have the staying power at the time.

Just this morning my weight has dropped below a significant mark, and i am both delighted and ashamed it is comment worthy, i'm heading the right direction

Also trying to be more active throughout the day as well, rather than just for specifically exercise sessions, so fingers crossed that helps too

You really have got the good habits sorted now, Wp 👏 Keep it up :)
Well done on the weight drop, lammo. It sounds very positive, especially generally being more active. Hopefully that will be easier with us getting towards summer and the longer days and (maybe soon?) warmer weather.

LLamo as GM have said with the nicer weather easier to add in being active James Smith has a name for it but it have forgotten it. he more we are active between activities the better it is for the calorie burn or something along those lines.Well done on weight loss.

Thanks GM The way i look at it is I can achieve my targets 6 days a week all is well.We are going out for three course Sunday Lunch and protein will be lower but it is just once or twice a month.

Yesterday
2.5 mile walk
2 litres water
18769 steps
1 hour run
106g protein
calories on point again.
