I love Christmas and like to eat drink and be merry
I am down from 14 stone to 13.9

The more I loose the more I can eat.
I am getting giddy just thinking about all the Christmas grub that I will be eating and drinking

bring it on

Love it, YANBU

Sounds sensible to me! Saves dieting after Xmas!

orienteerer · 15/10/2010 20:33

Try the Dukan diet, I'm on day 5 and 4lb down alreadyGrin.

MakemineaGandT · 15/10/2010 20:33

Be warned....it took me until June to lose the mere 5lbs I put on over Christmas last year! I am planning on being more careful this year......dieting in Jan/Feb is trully miserable

I admire your dedication.

I was once sick in pub loos to make room for another pint (I know that's actually disgusting, but I was only 18). Your idea is less minging but will take more work.

I do this every year Blush

YANBU to want to be a healthier but be a bit careful with your attitude to weight loss will you please?

It isn't all about numbers. You might be 6 foot tall for all we know here and the perfect weight for your height.

Good luck!

P.S what do you think of house prices at the moment?

Be careful. Yo yo dieting has so many serious health implications as well as slowing down your metabolism.

Sorry to be all bah humbug.

MrsYamada · 15/10/2010 20:58

YANBU as long as most of the weight you pile back on comes from booze.

GraveyardMistsAreYellow · 15/10/2010 20:59

What is the Dukan diet please?

MrsYamada · 15/10/2010 21:03

Dukan eat whatever you like?

GraveyardMistsAreYellow · 15/10/2010 21:04

Does one really gain weight just by drinking? I always find that being a bit merry balances out nicely with not being arsed to eat much so that's good isn't it?

I do tend to gannet Ibuprofen at Christmas but I doubt there are many calories in them...

MrsYamada · 15/10/2010 21:05

I think it's more bloating than weight as such?

backwardpossom · 15/10/2010 21:21

YANBU - I'm doing the very same Grin

orienteerer · 15/10/2010 21:52

Dukan = high protein, low carb & fat. Here's a MN link.

Lynli · 15/10/2010 22:00

You would need to eat about 49000 calories.

I think that might be a bit much.
