You have to be able to live and holiday as well! Can imagine you felt a little nervous though cause you want to remain in double digits! 

Too right Malgaynor... It's been so long since I've been down to the coast... I forgot how much I miss the ocean, I could have easily stayed another week once I actually got there 🌊🌊🌊 I guess the beach walks and ocean swims burn more calories than sitting at a computer working, so a few extra calories consumed will balance out in the end...  

Way to go 

I hope you got some sunshine and not all of the rain that we have been having at the bay. I’m new to FS only this week. Still finding my way around the app..but so far loving it. Well done on your success so far :) 

Hi Kazza1, welcome to FS 👋 I discovered the app in late April this year and am still exploring all the features 😀 It's a fantastic tool and the FS community is a wonderful bonus... Three full beach days out of four is more than I was expecting... and perfect to ease me back into swimming after a 15 - 20yr hiatus...  

What’s the next target Liz? 

Hahaha Malgaynor 😀 Still mulling that question over !! Was originally planning to see if I could halve my weight - that would be 72.5kg... a kind of weird number right ?!! I feel a bit braver now I've made it to here when I sincerely didn't know if I could... So maybe I'll join you with a target of 65kg 😁. Do you remember how long ago since you were that weight? I'm going to be dealing with a lot of loose skin, so that might alter where I end up but I won't know until I give it a shot... let's go right 💪 

Good on you on enjoying your holiday. I returned from a holiday recently & even managed a swim when the sun was present (unusual lately). When I holiday, I usually expect my weight to increase just a little. 

Liz last time I was 65kgs was 2005 😳😆. My GP will be happy if we get under 70 kgs. Seems so far away and wondering if it’s possible but then when I see how well you have done in a year then I believe it is possible! Lose skin, you surely would be a good candidate for surgery under Medicare if the skin is too much to handle 

Thanks for the welcome Liz. I’m kinda getting back into swimming again too! It’s been a long time for me also. 

Kazza1 The upside of the beach this time of year is it is not too crowded... a big plus if you haven't been scantily clad in public for a while 😀 which part of the coast do you go to? Maybe we can meet up for a walk some time? 

I’m at Catalina. Recently moved from CBR. Yes if you’re down this way msg me :) 

Malgaynor... 1980's for me 🤣 Thanks for the idea about Medicare... hadn't even crossed my mind, but if I need to have surgery then that would be a huge bonus... Also I would have a scar to rival your knee op (and I'd be looking around for those creams to reduce the pain 😬) Hope you are continuing to improve day by day... 

kazza1 not sure how to contact people privately via this app, but sure we can work something out 👍 hopefully I'll get back down before the Christmas crowds bump in down there... enjoy your lovely space at Catalina and take a couple of good deep breaths of sea air for me when you get to the beach ❤️ 

Fish and Chips 🐠🍟sounds so good👍I love🐠🍟it's my favourite take out - I think my British roots are shining through! You are doing brilliant. ♥️♥️♥️
