I've just got back from a wonderful holiday in India!
I rather over-indulged I'm afraid. Brandy was £1-50 a bottle. And I over-ate 'cos the food was lovely. I found a place that did banana puris and another that did a wicked onion pakora. I love indian food so ate local wherever possible.
I did go to the gym once and used some of the machines rather than the free weights. I then could hardly move for 2 days. I got lots of exercise walking and sunbathing on the beach. (yes it IS exercise - I was sweating🙂).
I've definately gained though not sure by how much. I know I've gained cos you could just about make out some ribs before I went and you can't now.
just done a WI and it says 215 which means I've gained 15 pounds! It's not quite as bad as it sounds because it's evening so it could be 5 pounds over and I'm probably dehydrated etc with travelling. I'll try to stay OP and WI at the weekend to see what the damage really is.
glad you had a good time, and if you gained you can lose it, good luck, Lee ray miller <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

Sounds like you had a wonderful holiday, Ray. I know a lot of that 15 will be water as well as weigh in time but don't worry about the rest as that's life and as long as you get back OP & stay there, you'll be OK. Elaine K 331.4/213./179

Welcome back Ray! I was wondering where you had wandered off to. Glad to hear you were off having a great time. Don't sweat the weight gain, vacations are for enjoyment - home is for reality. <grin>

Glad you're back. Your vacation sounds heavenly. For me, flying can affect the scale, never the food. I'd trust nothing the scale says until the weekend.

Over-indulging while on holidays is easy to do. Can't say I blame you with all that great food around.

I'm sure that damage can't be 15 lbs. That seems like an awful lot for two weeks. Most of it's probably retained water. Good luck this week!
Wecome back. Of course, you have scared me about going on vacation, possibly to Europe next year - too much tempting food and I can here the line - it's vacation, you can enjoy and relax the food "restrictions."
Hope you get back in shape quickly

I am so glad to hear someone say that. I went to a family wedding half way across the country recently which of course meant a half a day of flying going there and another getting back. My body was so bloated! and I had even been drinking lots of water and avoiding salt. I *thought* there might be a connection to the time in flight and now I feel that is perhaps truly the case. --

Well, I exaggerated a little when I wrote that food NEVER affects the scale. Ahem! But I have experienced weight gain after flying. Something about the change in air pressure and being cramped for hours in a small space for a long period of time, I think.
