With thanks to bronchitis and a fluey virus - I have.......lost half a stone Grin

HKat · 29/12/2012 12:27

I'm too scared to get on the scales yet!

MikeLitorisHasChristmasLights · 29/12/2012 12:27

I dont own a pair of scales so not sure but I have definitely put on a fair bit. my clothes are much tighter.

Nothing, in fact I have lost weight. I don´t like sweets or snacks so never have them in the house. I hate turkey (but do have a penchant for home-made bread sauce) and as it is only me I can more or less do as I please, so healthy, normal eating with an extra couple of glasses of something here Xmas Grin

SantasHoHoHo · 29/12/2012 12:29

Haven't weighed myself. Tbh, it's not really an issue with me. If I'm going to pig out at Xmas I'm going to have gained something I suppose but I just ensure I resume a healthier eating pattern in the new year.

MrsMelons · 29/12/2012 12:30

Nothing - I am really fed up about it as on day 5 of the flu now and all those lovely chocolates are just sat there begging me to eat them but I can't!

I was hoping not to put on too much as have just lost a stone but I would have been happy with 5 or 6 lbs and been able to enjoy all the lovely christmas food!

LaVitaBellissima · 29/12/2012 12:30

I am the same 10 bloody lbs Sad and it really shows, all on my stomach, like a pregnancy belly.

So new rules
8 glasses of water a day
4 portions of vegetables
2 portions of fruit
Wine only at weekends (New Years prosecco allowed Xmas Smile
No chocolate or processed crap

It will be gone!

sparkle12mar08 · 29/12/2012 12:31

About ten pounds since the start of December, and about seven of those since the 19th Blush

ArtVandelay · 29/12/2012 12:31

I'm down 2 kilos via flu :( very jealous of your Christmas munching.

cozietoesie · 29/12/2012 12:31

About 12 lbs since early December.

GreatCongas · 29/12/2012 12:32

I'm about the same. Can't say exactly be because I fluctuate about 5lbs throughout a month but I haven't exceeded that and am not at the top of that range either

Cortana · 29/12/2012 12:32

6lb in two weeks. I am currently in DP's jogging bottoms, playing pool with DS while we eat crackers and cheese.

Nothing!
I find when you host the family for Christmas you don't eat that much yourself... to busy servicing everyone else...hohoho!

Mockingcurl · 29/12/2012 12:34

I'm really hoping I haven't put anything on as I lost a stone before Xmas.
I ate what I wanted on Xmas day (felt a bit sick tbh) and have been madly making up for it ever since.

It's back to ww on Wednesday and I will find out how I've done. If I've put on weight I will be well cross as I might as well have pigged out all Xmas.

ViviPru · 29/12/2012 12:35

Was expecting a massive gain over Christmas after losing 33lbs this year, but I lost a lb! Can't believe it!

My scales are broken

MoomieAndFreddie · 29/12/2012 12:36

about 5lbs

ClementineKelandra · 29/12/2012 12:38

All of you who has lost weight I'm going to come round and force feed you mince pies and chocolate

lubeybooby · 29/12/2012 12:39

I've lost 2lb but I'm a 'larger' lady anyway at a size 18, my eating hasn't been massively different and I've been ill which has suppressed the usual xmas stuffing-face-athon. Starting to feel better now though so I expect new year booze alone will gain me that 2lb back.

specialsubject · 29/12/2012 12:40

none. I enjoyed my Christmas dinner and then went for a good walk. I also enjoyed a few chocs, mince pies etc and then will walk those off.

ClementineKelandra · 29/12/2012 12:40

I'm going shopping tomorrow to buy tons of veggies to make a big pan of WW no point soup.

curiousuze · 29/12/2012 12:40

Lost about 2.5 stone because I had a giant baby 3 weeks ago who I am breastfeeding! I'm eating about 3000 calories a day though (mostly in trifle) so I'm sure it'll catch up with me

cozietoesie · 29/12/2012 12:41

I'm not worried about the weight - that can be easily taken off - it's just the shock to my system of all that eg chocolate, sugar and thick cream given what I normally eat. I feel sort of sluggish.
