Trying to get stronger instead 😁. Has anyone else noticed an increase in weight (just a couple of pounds) following a race. It normally lasts a couple of days with me then it just disappears.

I've always assumed that as there would have been some level of dehydration during/post race your body reacts by holding onto a bit of extra fluid until it's confident that the extra fluid is not required. Couple of days and weight will return to normal. It's very clever really 🤣 Geordiegirl- it doesn't look like you have a lot to lose to get back to Pic A.

Thanks both you’re very kind I just have a lot more fluff around my middle. I am determined to lose it. Sometimes it just clicks and I’m hoping this has clicked.

Yesterday wasn’t good I didn’t have lunch, poached egg in small slice of toast for breakfast then pizza for tea as we were out for a family meal. The pizza is very Italian thin crust minimal topping, As we’re away this weekend and in minimal planning I’ll work on eating well and focus on planning for the next few weeks. Hope you’re all doing well.
