Might be a good idea for a few days and you'd soon get the extra pounds off. I'm so used to recording everything I eat, I don't think I could give it up when I get to maintenance! 

Heidi, I know I should also be recording everyday but tend to sporadically track anymore. Trying to again daily as have to get rid of the #'s meds added. thanks for the reminder I need to go back and put in some things from yesterday.  

You have done well - hang in there 

Logging weight, food intake and actively makes sense to me. I suggest you get back in the habit quickly. I find it difficult to control eating without logging.. 

Has the weather allowed for some regular hiking or have you and Mike been too busy settling in and performing? I too have had to go back to regular food logging.  

The weather was quite warm when we got back here, which put me off walking at first. Now I'm a little out of the habit, but aiming to get back into it. Also have been eating out more here, the days this week, and we're lunching out on Sunday. I'm reluctant to go back to logging food, as I would like to be able to control weight without doing that. I think I will give it till the end of next week and see how I'm doing. Thanks for your support, all, it's good to know you're there! 

@Heidi My hope for you is that you will be able to get back on track once you start walking again. Weighing portions and logging food is sometime exasperating, but it is the only way for me to stay on track. I just had a pleasant memory of our lunch, on the waterfront in Georgetown, SC, when you and Mike were in the U.S.
