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!

I know what you mean whoknows, but I’m also looking forward to using my beautiful leuchturm book!

SayrraT · 29/12/2017 13:14

I'm loving it so far, I'm waiting for washi tape to cover up my mistake Grin

Will someone please explain what a bullet journal is?

SayrraT · 29/12/2017 13:33

There is a thread in housekeeping which will explain it better than I will but basically it's using a normal notebook as a diary/planner/life changer.

You set it up to suit yourself so no restrictions on layout. You can also put additional pages in to keep track of other things. I have weight loss, grown up stuff, gift ideas.

You have an index at the front so you just put stuff in as it happens and don't need to leave any blank pages.

Grin me neither usually but someone mentioned the bullet journal thread so I put my marigolds on and went a wee visit!

Rshard · 29/12/2017 15:13

Same here! I only found the bullet journal thread via someone in boot camp.

Wh0KnowsWhereTheTimeG0es · 29/12/2017 16:53

That was me Grin. Bullet journals are yet another thing I have discovered thanks to MN.

Wh0KnowsWhereTheTimeG0es · 29/12/2017 16:56

bullet journal thread

SayrraT · 29/12/2017 19:31

I've kind of fixed it....

Thanks whoknows

Looks great sayyra

Gammeldragz · 29/12/2017 23:48

I started my Bullet Journal the other day, after getting the one I wanted from DH for Christmas.
Need to design a nice weight tracker for it...

YoLoElfSocks · 30/12/2017 10:28

thanks for the link sayrra. I'm definitely going to do a BuJo!

Rshard · 30/12/2017 11:12

Lots of weight trackers on Pinterest ragz. I did a counting down one last time but might do the opposite this time and add up the pounds list

Rshard · 30/12/2017 11:12

Lost even - ffs!

Gammeldragz · 30/12/2017 13:40

Problem with that Rshard is I go up as well as down! Also i weigh daily. Suppose I could do a special bootcamp tracker and only count the official weigh day weight - but still not sure what to do if I gain...

BrassicaBabe · 30/12/2017 15:00

Haha so many of us LC'ers are on the bujo thread Grin

6 Xmas lbs on for me after 3 "days off". 2 days back on and I've got rid of 3 of them.

BlackMozart · 30/12/2017 15:09

Oh lordy, I just read some of the stuff on bullet journal and it made my eyes bleed. Couldn’t get my poor brain to work it out at all!

Needless to say I won’t be getting one 😀

BlackMozart · 30/12/2017 15:11

May also be because I went down with a horrible cold yesterday and am feeling fuzzy headed and very sorry for myself. Trying not to think about toast but will be medicating with red wine later!

Rshard · 30/12/2017 16:12

Good point ragz! I’ve been looking on Pinterest and I think I’ll do count down to goal and then a tracker in a graph style. I like this one pin.it/jnq3vewq4kxfhj

ilovecherries · 30/12/2017 17:34

Mozart, its funny how being ill makes us want comfort carbs. I'm not very well either, and have been craving toast, lentil soup, milky coffee and custard. Scrambled eggs and bullion just aren't providing the same sense of coddling. And I'm even still off the bloody wine - day 364! I've tried to be kind to myself in other ways - bought a couple of new books for the holiday weekend, wearing my comfiest and warmest clothes, cranking the heating up a bit etc - but I still want toast! Preferably sourdough. Grin

BlackMozart · 30/12/2017 19:32

LOL ilove 😀 I have sourdough in the bread bin because it is what DH likes but I have stayed away from it (although not the glass of red wine for medicinal purposes 😗). Have cuddled up on the sofa watching Poirot and eating turkey, gammon and cheese.
Hoping to feel better by the prelims on 2nd for the new year boot camp starting on 8th.
2018 is going to be the year of finally losing it all. I can feel it in my bones (well those bones I can feel!!)

SoMuchToBits · 30/12/2017 23:25

I don't have a bullet journal, but do have all sorts of planners, including a Christmas one.

I had friends round today for drinks/snacks. Managed to do reasonably low carb snacks, not too much left. Not too much damage done!

blackteaplease · 31/12/2017 06:44

Checked my weight this morning and I've put on 5lbs. I'm hoping to shift that pretty quickly now that I'm in charge of my food again. I'm planning to have a drink or two tonight and then attempt dry January which will help.

Rshard · 31/12/2017 11:15

I’ll join you in dry January blacktea. I did it last year too and actually carried on into February until we went on holiday
