Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weight loss 2019 - May

[Not2bObvious]

New thread for a new month!

Somewhere hot & sunny with too much drink & cocktails wreck😉
It’s hard not to weigh but as it stands at the moment I’ll only see the number & say sod it. It was going up a pound or more a day while away and that didn’t stop me. I did good yesterday, steps were just under 11,000/ate just under 1500 and felt ok. Day 2

Hot and sunny sounds lovely! We're going away in six weeks and I cannot wait

Very nice wreck, I’m away again in 5 weeks unexpectedly and it’s probably going to be baking! I just hope I’ve enough time to shift this gain and another couple of pounds by then. Feeling very gutty. Anyway can’t expect too much after only 2 days to be fair. I’ll have scars after wearing my jeans today😂

Good to see you back on board not2

I was out for dinner last night & succumbed to apple tart for dessert, regretted immediately afterwards but today's been a good day

I was having a good day until I ate a whole chocolate orange. Ffs. I don't even know why dh got it for me.

Yum wreck

Oh no, was it worth the calories wreck?
Doing good here. Gold stars all the way. Going to attempt pump today. Will be out for dinner tonight so will be a guestimates and over calories

Nope. And now my weight is up loads and I'm all bloated. I'm out for lunch and all weekend too so I'm not weighing until next week.

Ah rubbish. Plenty of water.

Forgot to say welcome back not. Pleased you had a good holiday. Agree weighing would be counterintuitive in this situation

So I changed the batteries in my scales & I'm still at almost 160lbs.

I can't see it in my clothes, so I'm just shelving it for my week's holidays and going to track all in mfp and hit 10000+ steps a day and worry about it when I come back.

I'd a reeses bar as part of my calories yesterday - went over by 55cal, hit my fibre but not my protein so not too bad for a one off.

How much you up on your lowest happier? Any chance you could have built a bit of muscle?
Horrible nights sleep, foot/calf cramps had me up and down like a yo yo. Starting to feel a bit less bloated so that’s a start. Nothing to eat so far as I started work early & too busy but I’m managing fine. Could live off my fat stores for quite some time I reckon😂
Crikey wreck, a full choc orange - good work! You got yourself a feeder there😉

4lbs heavier than my lowest which isn't even that much, it's just baffling. I thought it was down to water retention with ibuprofen/paracetamol when I was sick but surely that would have dissipated by now.

My sister has always said I put too much meas in the scales anyhow and at the moment I'm just happy that I can't see it on my body so I'm pretending it's not there

I went to pizza express for lunch but had one of the

Model them for us wreck
I'm all chickened our scrambled egg for breakfast southern fried chicken wrap for lunch & roast chicken veg & sweet potato fries for dinner

I’m starting to wonder are we going about this the wrong way? Should we just measure ourselves by tape measure twice a month and do our best to stick to a calorie deficit? If the scales is so flux’ey is it an actual measure? Too many questions but jeez I think we’re driven mad

Morning! Happy Saturday to you all. Ended up with unexpected company and was eating/drinking quite a bit - so no actual idea how many calories but I don’t think it was too bad. I’ll have to try work it out. After my anti scales blather last night I measured my waist to see and I’m down an inch since Wednesday. No surprise though as I was shockingly bloated.
Going to be very well behaved today, no visitors or anything specific to do so no reason to go mad. Anyone doing anything nice?

My average for the week is up 0.2 which I'm pleased with as it's nothing really.

Haha happier you really don't want to see that! I have the worst stretch marked lumpy stomach

We're off to London today to see Florence and the machine. I bought some cans of pornstar martini for the drive and got asked for ID

Guestimates about 500 over yesterday and 1lb up this morning.

Got a birthday BBQ today so will aim for least resistance. Also birthday carvery on Sunday.
Not sure about steps, possible not either day.
Never mind.

My average is down this week though so happy with that.
Enjoy Florence
