No clothes just woes

I have to say if you're over 11-12 stone here, you're wearing tents. The shops do not cater for anything bigger than a 12, or should I say shops with fashionable clothes. I'm a vanity 12 in uk sizes, here I'm an XL in trousers, L in tops. It's grim, maybe explains while all the women smoke and drink espresso (vast generalisation but you get me?)

Disheartening not
I've my M&S ivy jeans on today they're size 12, but you know that's vanity sizing just about ok

It is a bit happier. Thankfully I invested in a load of nicely cut maxi dresses so I'm ok enough but I've had hols here before when I had to buy trackie bottoms to fly home in. Grim.
On a 3 meals no snack regime, unless you count alcohol as snacks. Then I'm a walking snaccident 😬

Evening everyone 😊
Hope you are ok Life 💐🤗
Not that's awful for you that you can't get nice clothes where you are . I know when I feel fat and frumpy 🙄 that buying a new top or dress really picks me up , especially if it slims me down 😃👏
Happier M&S jeans are so comfy 🤗 & stretchy 😃👏🤗
Just the job , so forgiving 🤗
Been ok today , busy as hell just sat down now! 😃

Enjoy the holiday not
I wore my slightly too tight trousers for interview but ok as on teams anyway.
Back to it 23 august.

Enjoy your hol not
2 pounds more off so 12 in total in 3 weeks. Weighed today instead of tomorrow as was out for lunch today, and eating out tonight (exam celebration), tomorrow and Saturday!

Have a great Holiday Not
North that is amazing very well done lovely
Life the very best of luck lovely
Been good today very hectic , sorted Mum & Bob then took Mum to the dentist, sorted her afternoon tea for her friends to call , went to Newport with Dd2 to shop for her birthday tomorrow. She bought some lovely things that we paid for her
Didn't eat till tonight so did ok
Hope everyone is fine & has a good sleep

That's a brilliant loss north, excellent work! My FSOD (foreign scale of doom) is going up steadily, haven't weighed yet today but the pattern from Tuesday (Monday afternoon +3.2 on Sunday's home weight) has been .8, 1, 1.8 - it's nearly funny.
Heat and lots of salty food washed down by drinks is the main culprit. Not real gains obviously, not physiologically possible. It does help me keep on a track of sorts, stopping me reaching for snacks.
All expenses paid shopping trip there mrs - story of my life these days! So it doesn't end when they get older, I have had my suspicions😂

🤣🤣🤣
No Not not ended here at least 🤣🤣
When you come home and have weeeed the excess water off you will be back to your usual weight. For now just enjoy yourself 😉👏❤️
Dd2 26th birthday today and l am feeling OLD 🙄 😁

Happy birthday to her, find those days very poignant, thinking back to the births - luckily very easy (drugged up to the eyeballs tbh)
FSOD is my friend today, down 2 - so now only 3.8 above last home weight. Of course it was after a jog but I'll take it. Roasting already, it's going to be a 2-3 shower day for sure

Thank you Not that is lovely of you. Glad the FSOD have been kind to you Weather sounds amazing!
Been bust today, so therefore good food wise , about time too

Scales dropped a lb, was wondering if my week of tracking was going to have any effect 194.9

Scales not coming with me I'm clearly not as dedicated as not

Vitamins packed, mixed case of cans of diet drinks, nothing else

Nice one happier. Your pound found it's way to me, picked up another on the way! Oh well it was nice while it lasted. Got a brisk walk in first thing despite having a dire nights sleep, starting the day exhausted - at least it's not like I have to work

Happier that is excellent !
Not you will lose that pound and more when you get back to normal
Been ok , busy see no time to scoff lol , it does what it says on the can

Mrsmadevans needed it ahead of week away.

There's a scales here, I can't unsee it so I stepped on 196. Different scales so I'm not bothered. I'm on holidays

Relax and enjoy Happier
I had lunch out with dd on Thursday then tea out as a family. Then out with dh on Friday when I ate lots of cheese! Overall I have tried to keep the carbs fairly low and kept up the exercise (classes on Friday & Saturday) so hoping for a stay the same weigh I think on Tuesday, but will be happy with a 1 or 2 pound gain which I can work on for Friday's weigh.

Sadder tale than any, I have a scales at my holiday home and I fear they are probably the correct numbers. I haven't bothered today, it's not going to thrill me - and it's DH first hol in nearly 2 years, he doesn't need my lunacy for the next 5 days...

There's a beautiful lady eating where I'm eating, wearing a gorgeous swishy skirt #goals

Keep off the holiday scales everyone
Been ok ish today l need a kick up the back side l really do!
Happier & Not have a great time

Mrsmadevans it gave me a sts this morn

Sorry back down to 195, after ahem a trip to the loo if you know you know

Nutracheck trial finished. I found it good. But was that just because I was back tracking & it was shiny & new?

Next week I'll use mfp and compare & decide then I think
