Morning all

Here's the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness, for its final outing

Hopefully everyone will have seen a loss this final week. Let me know how much you've lost overall!

Yum yum. In the May bootcamp Jiminy turned me on to the delectability that is Beanies Coffees. Ordered myself a selection box yesterday afternoon for a holiday treat and they unexpectedly arrived today - wasn't expecting them till the 28th. Currently drinking a Xmas pudding one with a splash of cream. As we are coming into our last few days of an alcohol free 2017 (didn't see myself managing THAT either!) it will be a nice compensation for bucks fizz.

We’ve got some Buck’s Fizz, love it at Christmas but I’m just going to have on Christmas Day.

SecretSix · 21/12/2017 13:32

Some amazing losses here! Well done everyone!

Prettybird spoke to DM last night and she’s made 5 dozen mince pies 😩 As I would have previously eaten two with every cup of tea over Christmas week, it’s going to be tricky!

I bought a new jug with a lid especially yesterday to measure my water consumption, finding it ok doing the 2l.

I need to find some willpower, I've been having the odd carby slip over the last few days but come Sunday I will be at the in laws, they will have a treat table up for the whole week that I am there!

I must go to the shop to get my own tasty snack alternatives to take with me.

Rshard · 22/12/2017 07:48

Are you going to have some carbs blacktea? I’m going to take Christmas Day off and have what I want. Although I did have half a Yorkshire last night.

SecretSix · 22/12/2017 07:52

Lol at Fitty A chap I worked with in the eighties had a Scotch bottle but I don’t think he was keeping up his water consumption!

TimeIhadaNameChange · 22/12/2017 07:59

Sorry not to update until now, a combination of illness and lack of mobile data. Tried on my phone the other day but it doesn't seem to have worked...

Monday's weight was 8st 9.3, meaning a last week's loss of 6 lbs! However, this was largely due to the norovirus-type thing that trapped me in the bathroom all last Saturday rather than the WOE. And I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually very pleased I've regained some of that since, even though my appetite has been shocking all week. I've been going for the "eat whatever I feel like" policy to try and get something into me. Thankfully I'm free off all other symptoms, as I've spent the last 11 hours on the sleeper.

Think that gives me a loss of a stone overall, but I'll check later when I can check the spreadsheet easier than on here.

prettybird · 22/12/2017 08:21

I made it Xmas SmileXmas SmileXmas Smile

3 stone off since the end of May and into the 11s Xmas Grin^^ and by more than 1/4lb Xmas Shock

Yay prettybird congrats! Flowers

Rshard · 22/12/2017 08:53

Well done prettybird

blackteaplease · 22/12/2017 09:32

I will have some rshard , probably stuffing and parsnips on Xmas day. Maybe a potato too.

It's the table of delights in the living room that will be a challenge. That and avoiding bread for a quick and easy lunch. I am aiming to maintain until next bootcamp rater than try to lose anything.

Gammeldragz · 22/12/2017 09:39

prettybird well done!

I made mince pies yesterday and lost count of how many I ate... Blush.
Guess that's me off plan until after Christmas now!

Rshard · 22/12/2017 09:46

I’m planning similar blacktea, I don’t feel a huge urge for any if it though to be honest! I’ll be happy to maintain over Christmas and I am thinking about when I’ll be able to get to boots to weigh myself!

ilovecherries · 22/12/2017 11:27

Well done, pretty bird, you did it!

ilovecherries · 22/12/2017 11:29

I'm so excited, my kids will be here in a few hours :). Very glad virgin cancelled their strike, I was devastated at the thought of one more day when I was on countdown :)

BIWI · 22/12/2017 11:42

Very well done Pretty!

Grah0SoontobeaFitty · 22/12/2017 15:35

@blackteaplease
find I have no will power unless there is alternative. So get some small bags or pork scratching's to put on the treat table then, when you browse by there is something to take. Then show the bag as if you've just taken another if anyone mentions lack off snacking or even just "help yourself" comments.

Grah0SoontobeaFitty · 22/12/2017 15:38

Merry Christmas everyone

prettybird · 22/12/2017 17:05
