Morning all.
Normally I'd post a link to the spreadsheet, but I don't appear to be able to get into Google docs for some reason. I'll keep trying and will add the link when I can.
So there's just this last week before we give in we get to Christmas! I know a lot of you are worrying about what's going to happen and how you're going to navigate things, especially if someone else is doing all the cooking.
Best advice? Don't panic too much about one day. Enjoy it - especially if someone else is providing the food. But try to keep it to the one day as far as you can. Make sure you keep the water up, and try not to use going off plan as an excuse to fall face first into the Quality Street tin!
Have a good week

Good news is that I was down to 11st 8lb this morning 
I might just break through the half stone by Christmas 
....but the not so good alternative news is that I had my Pilates Ladies lunch today at a lovely posh restaurant. I was very good: didn't have the roll with the starter, chose a low carb starter (ham hough terrine with celeriac remoulade), asked them to swap the mashed potatoes for green veg (came with french beans instead) and only ate half of the parsnips that came with the (melt in the mouth) beef confit, only had 2 glasses of wine..... 
But I succumbed to the dessert: sticky toffee pudding with marmalade ice cream and butterscotch sauce 
In my defence, being a posh restaurant, it was a very small portion
I'm now back home and trying to catch up on my water allocation 
I'd had an omelette before going out - so I've probably eaten for today. If I do feel hungry again this evening, I'll boil some eggs.

Sorry to hear about your shitty day ShagMeRiggins - personally I can't stand The Apprentice, but if it makes you feel better.....
Enjoy your steak.
StuntNun - I have no more Christmas temptations until Christmas Eve (our main dinner). And I've managed to make 3 batches of tablet (need to make one more) without even eating the soft ball test (throwing it out 
) and not eaten a single piece myself

I could have had a what looked a very nice cheese platter as my 3rd course - I have no excuse
But given that I have now made 3 batches of tablet (and still have two more to make 
) without. having. a. single. piece. - I don't feel too guilty

I'm only 1lb3/4 away from the goal I set myself in may bootcamp. The goal was to lose it before the end of the year so if I don't go wild at Christmas I might actually make it

You sound focussed piggy
As promised? Here are the pictures of the progress with the fit of my black trousers. Still a wee bit tight on the thighs but definitely getting there. Middle one was about 2 weeks ago and the 3rd one (the closer up one) was about a month ago.

16lb off for me which I am very happy with 🏆
I am now buying the next dress size down (and spending far too much money whenever I go in a shop!! 
), and people have now started to notice which is nice also
See you in January for the next one, however, I won't be stopping in between as I don't want to undo my hard work 😇

You can do this Kondo
Most of all - keep drinking the water. If your tummy is sloshing with water, then there's not so much room for carb creep.

@prettybird Excellent typo considering what you were referring to! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have some kind of chest infection coldy thing which is horrible a I’m now driving 200 miles up to Cumbria to spend three days with family.
B: cream coffee and 1 litre water
L: buffet at work but kept away from all carbs and just had cheeses, meat, salads and coleslaw.
Another litre of water.
I’m probably going to forgo tea because after a day of talking to my primary school class through this dagger throat I can’t really swallow without it being agony.
