Scrambled eggs for breakfast, start the day off nice and healthy!

I’ll attempt to join you guys (again!) if you’ll allow it. I’ve jumped in a couple of times in the past but never managed to make any inroads into the first/second/third batches of 7 pounds I need to shift. Or I should say I lost/regained the first batch in 2017, oh well you have to keep going. If I’ve learned anything I’ve learned giving up ain’t the answer. I don’t have an official weigh in start point but I was 11.6 the Friday before Christmas & I’m around 11.11 now I reckon. Today won’t be perfect but I have no hangover for the first New Year’s Day in my adult drinking life & that has been the most brilliant start to the year (I get the most horrific hangovers) Going for a walk with the family soon as it’s a lovely bright day here. Looking forward to great successes for us all - Happy New Year!

Morning all. Happy New year and happy New thread to you all.

I weighed in this morning at 10 11. That means I lost 1lb in December. I'm taking that as a massive victory!

January's targets are to lose 4lb and to hit 10,000 steps every day.

Anyone got any other health-related resolutions?

I'm joining please, if that's ok.

I weighed in this morning at 62.9kg. I was 61.9kg before Christmas (but 80.1kg this time last year!) so feel ok with that. I'm aiming for 60kg - around 7lb to go.

I've started well with a hiit session and then scrambled eggs and spinach. I'm doing dry January too.

Bring it on Grin

Morning all!

I'm in for this month. Weighing in tomorrow so not starting until then as it's my birthday today!

Think I'll have gained 4lb over Xmas so not bad really. Would like to lose another stone by beginning of March which shouldn't be too much of a problem

Good morning fellow Slenderistas (and fella Slenderistas). Welcome to all wagoneers new and old, Happy New Year to one and all.

I braved a cheeky Jan 1 weigh this morning and am amazed to discover that I am the same as I was before Christmas! Can only think that I have decreased food consumption as the alcohol intake has increased. I am 2.5lbs away from my first goal point and I would love to reach it by the end of the month.

Thanks for the shiny new thread BOOP. My head is a bit hurty too. Xmas Envy

Good morning! Joining please Smile weighed myself this morning. 12st 1lb. Heaviest I have ever been Sad

Aiming to get back to my post baby weight of 10st 2lb. Although I would be happy with 10 and a half stone at least Smile

Started my day off with one slice of whole meal toast and a scraping of light cream cheese, some grapes, a few slices of wafer thin ham and a Muller light. I find mornings the hardest!

Choo choo, all aboard!

Weighing in at exactly what I started December at (changed my mind about weighing today). Some of that must be water, so I'm saying that's a win.

Unfortunately DH has been to the shop this morning and got stuff for roast, and pain au chocolate. So I'm having one and counting it!

Aims for the month:

  • Address my love affair with 🍷
  • Keep on running!

I'm joining this month. Weighed myself this morning. Only put on a few extra pounds over christmas but gosh do I feel it. I have about 2.5stone to shift.

Don't have a set plan other than drink more water, eat more veg and stop drinking fizzy juice again

Brand new thread for the new year. Happy new year I hope 2018 brings you all health and happiness.

I will weigh myself later on. Dreading it Sad. Stretches and Pilates later on after I've cleaned the house. Then I'm treating myself to a spa day with some face masks and lovely new moisturiser.
