Shiny new thread 🌟🌟

Hi all, I'm finding it hard to stay on track at the mo too. Me and DH seem to be tag teaming having stuff on in evenings, and I've had two nights of drinking this week. Only 'bad' meal was a curry though.

Just finding it hard to resist stuff. I was in a cafe today and they had a pigs in blankets Panini. I was soooo tempted. I did resist but feeling a bit hard done by!

I'm going to try very hard to stick to plan this week, wed is work Xmas lunch, Thurs carol singing so will involve chips and drinks! I'm feeling a bit like 'oh what the hell' but I know if I start doing that now I'll be awful by Xmas, picking at everything!!

Anyone else feeling the same? I'm going to try to stick to plan till Xmas Eve, anyone else planning to do this? Shall we post our menus every day to keep on track till then?

Hi Owlinatree, I'm finding it hard at the min too. Ordered some kebab meat and salad last night then ended up having a sneaky slice of garlic bread and then some birthday cake. I'm having a break Christmas eve for 3 or 4 days. I'm nervous I've only been doing it 6 weeks and lost 1stone 4lb I hope I don't put it all back on!

[Groovee]

Oh man. I am expecting a huge gain tonight. I have been dreadful. But DH's Birthday, my dad's birthday and mine all in 6 days has been hard!

[noodlenosefraggle]

I'm finding it hard too. Im thinking I might calorie count until Christmas and try to keep under 1800 calories in an attempt to stay the same. I'm not organised which is the main problem. I went to McDonald's yesterday because I didn't make my lunch and have a buffet lunch at work today, so it's hard

[FiveNightsAtMummys]

It was my 6th weigh in this morning. I lost 3.5lb today got club 10, my stone and a half award and slimmer of the week!

[Bowbridge]

Wow! Well done fivenights.

[Groovee]

Well done @FiveNightsAtMummys

I gained 3.5lb 🙈 need to kick my butt into gear.

[FiveNightsAtMummys]

Thank you both, I'm still in shock every week that I managed to stick to it! Joined many times before and usually last 3 days and I end up crying and eating kettle chips and several crunchies.

Never mind Groove it's hard this time of year anyway never mind added birthdays / events on top.

[OwlinaTree]

Well done fivenights! Groovee, don't be hard on yourself! Are you able to stick to plan from now till Xmas Eve?

Ok day for me, v busy. Had a cup cake that I brought home from work, but only 3.5 syns as well so I reckon I'm ok with that. Xmas dinner tomorrow though!

[Tobermory]

Hey all, I have an admission to make... I didn’t go to weigh in this evening! 🙈
Mostly it was to do with children, both of them had to be at different places at the same time as I weigh in. But I could have gone at a later time... I didn’t want to find out that I’ve gained!!
This week has been very hard. We’ve moved house which was long drawn out, knacekring and never mind all the usual run up to Christmas. I had too many slip ups...

I could go to one tomorrow eve to weigh . I should shouldn’t I? I can’t even weigh in at home... just to see!!!

[Bowbridge]

It's a taster and Christmas party at our this week. Usually great fun and a bit of light relief.

[Groovee]

Tobermory, I actually thought about not getting weighed but I faced it. Sometimes you just have to.

[Tobermory]

I wish I had now... but I don’t!
Never mind, back on it (soon) 🙈

[Bowbridge]

2lb off and back into target range for me. Enjoyed the taster especially the hot Winter spice drink. I think it is made by Ribena and is free.

There is no way I will stay within target next week. I shall try and be good around the 25/26th for damage limitation.

[Tobermory]

Unpacking today . We’ve moved house, lots of our stuff has been in storage for three months... we have too much stuff!!

But. I have one pair of size 12 jeans. I tried them on tonight and can do them up comfortably. Still a little extra on top but they look pretty good!! In August I was in a generous size 16, bloody thrilled that the size 12 fit. (Need to stop eating Christmas peanuts then!!)

[Groovee]

Annual night away and this is the difference in 2 years. Still have to give my head a wobble that the right hand photo is me.

Well done @Tobermory a fab NSV

[Bowbridge]

You look stunning Groovee! What a difference in 2 years. You must feel so much better for it.

I hope you got lots of compliments and had a great night.

[Cherrypi]

Wow Groovee you look like a different person. I’m looking forward to receiving the new book next week.

[emwithme]

Groovee you look fab.

Lost another 1.5 lbs this week, Matilda growing (and feeding) furiously which is mostly lovely, except for at 3 am.

My maternity jeans are too big for me now. I can get into my pre-pregnancy jeans but can't move in them so it's leggings or nothing for the next couple of weeks!

[LouHill]

Wow groovee you have done fantastic

[noodlenosefraggle]

Wow groove you look fab!

[Tailrunner]

Wow groovee, that's an amazing transformation.

Congratulations em- fab weight loss and great that M is feeding and growing well.

Tobermory - I dream of fitting into a size 12! Well done you and get back on the wagon.

I lost another 1.5 lb last week taking me to 1st 2lb altogether. This week has been very mixed though, some goid days but a staff meal out and an evening when I went out for 1 drink but somehow arrived home at 1am after too much wine (plus the hangover induced crisp and choc fest). I'm just hoping to stay the same when I weigh in tomorrow.

[Tailrunner]

0.5lb down which isn't much but better than I was hoping for. I'm having Christmas day and boxing day completely off plan then back on it on 27th.

Have a fabulous Christmas!

[sunshineNdaisies]

1lb lost. 2 stone 5lbs so far.

[Tailrunner]

Congratulations, sunshineNdaisies that’s fantastic.
