Feel free to lurk or post, absolutely no judgement here, just support and encouragement as we hurtle towards Christmas proudly wearing Crimbo jumpers without fear of looking enormous, look for slinky party dresses on vinted and for the first time, willingly take part in ALL of the festive photos🥰

Join us here to celebrate NSV’s, weight loss milestones, maintenance and new stone brackets!

I AM OVERWEIGHT!!!!! 🥳
The scales nudged to 13st 8.8lbs this morning and that last 0.1 took me to a BMI of 29.9. Best Christmas present ever.

Woohoo! 🎉 Well done 👏

Happy new week skinny bitches!

How was everyone's weekend? I cannot believe it's christmas in a few days! I've just been pondering whether to jab or not this week and i think I've decided to delay. I was so ill last week that I forgot to jab on the Sunday, so it was Tuesday before I remembered! So if I jab tomorrow, I'll be peak suppression Christmas day which doesn't sound very appealing. I'd like to enjoy my roast dinner with all the trimmings without fear of throwing up/getting stuck half way through. So no jab for me this week - I'll wait until the weekend and jab then.

I’ve jabbed last night as usual but I’m on 2.5mg and weaning myself off. What I have worked out is that if I’m busy, I don’t eat. It’s when I stop that the issue is apparent…this is something to work on next year I think!

Another family celebration and a festive event over the weekend means I am now hanging onto 10 stone 1lb but I am okay with that. Unlikely to break the 10 stone barrier before Christmas but I don’t want to pile weight on over this dangerous time of year. I am aimining to STS over the next week and planning to hit goal weight by end of January. Jabbing tonight! I can’t not jab but will do tonight and not tomorrow

Edited

Keep going! 💪

@SerenePeer @Goldleafcat Same strategy, I want to have an appetite at Christmas.

Looking at the fridges and meal descriptions on here, our Christmas fridge will look probably on the other end of the spectrum, far too empty.

I’ll be having a bit of turkey, carrots, parsnips and cabbage. Not even roast potatoes, decided I didn’t fancy them when shopping! Dessert will be panettone and some clotted cream. There’s one pack of very nice biscuits around and a couple of chocolate boxes, but they’ll probably go only lightly touched. No alcohol as no interest in it on MJ. The bf will have a bit of wine I think, and has requested a seafood snacks platter (M&S one so not opulent).

There’s some other snacks but they’re mostly fruit based (big fruit platter) and some cheese, healthy crackers etc.

Am I the grinch with this Christmas menu? That’s for 3 days as well! And mostly fruit & veg!

Does anyone know anyone who doesn’t go crazy with food at Xmas? My ex MIL actually did a very normal, small portioned meal at Xmas - roast beef with salad and potatoes, all individually plated out - and not much else. She was very slim and lacked interest in food - but generally ive not met many people who don’t go crazy with food shopping at Xmas.

well I think eat what you fancy, no?

I’m making Nigella’s trifle tomorrow and her forgotten cookies to use up leftover egg whites. Plus her ham in cola. It’s turkey for the big day. My big Xmas catering gig is next Sunday when I have 12 for lunch. I’m making some mulled wine pears and Nigella’s home made salted caramel brandy ice cream. Plus some sunken amaretto cakes. The only shop bought stuff I have is the ubiquitous Bailey’s cream which is a Xmas staple. My happy place is cooking and wrapping presents so I’m all good at this time of the year 🥰

Er, I’m very much on the Going Crazy with Food Shopping end of the spectrum, I love to plan and create festive menus! But I will be nibbling and tasting for the most part - overeating looks pretty different on the jabs.

I have a houseful of people for Christmas Day and Boxing Day, then I expect to coast along for a good week on leftovers!

Sounds fabulous! What are you making?

Watching the Alan and Amanda Spanish Christmas special. Alan has a lot more hair than he did last time I watched him. <narrows eyes> Minoxidil?

I jabbed last night (2.5mg), which should see me through. I only have 2 doses left in what was supposed to be my last pen. Twitching slightly - hoping DH is serious about going on MJ after Christmas so I can have his bonus dose if required. Turns out a (male) friend of his is on it, which might help with the decision.

I thought that about AC! Love that show 🥰

I've got about 6/7 lbs left to lose to get to my new goal weight. 3/4 lbs off will see a nice round (or less round!) 7 st weight loss. I am bouncing up and down the same lb at the moment, but I tend to go through these phases pre-miniwhoosh. I feel weirdly bereft though; I dropped my engagement/wedding ring (I only have the one) into the jeweller earlier to be resized and for the first time in 27 years I am without it. Even when it was loose I've worn it on my middle finger. It's a bittersweet NSV.

Bloody amazing result! So many congratulations! 🙌

Thank you all. For being pleased for me today but also for being such a tremendous support group all year. This is such a lovely bunch of people and I've loved hearing about everyone's milestones and progress all year. You're so great I don't even hate you all for being size 8s now 😂

Woohooooo @PinkArtwhat a terrific Xmas gift.

Happy Christmas to all you lovely November 24 starters. I hope we all hae a well deserved lovely Christmas. i am in a totally different place from this time last year and the support and encouragement of this lovely group has a large part to play in it. Even though we're only virtually acquainted I fell that Nov 24 is a proper friend support group. Special thanks and Christmas wishes to @Mounjaropen who has led us all the way from our start last year.

I'm off to the kitchen to do advance food prep for tomorrow. `i'd upped my maintenance jab earlier in the week and I feel I've got a good balance of supression, somewhere between nibbling all the goodies in sight and not wanting to eat at all.
have a great day tomorrow & sending a festive unmumsnet hug to all.

Amazing news @PinkArt what a great Xmas present!

I’ve just ordered the Corsx product off just my look for £13 including postage. I’ve paid on my credit card incase it’s dodgy but I’m sure I’ve ordered from there before.

wishing everyone a very merry Xmas. Ours is more subdued this year as our family dog has been given a few months following a cancer diagnosis. Me and the kids are going to hunker down and have a chilled day.

random223 · 24/12/2025 10:34

Congratulations @PinkArt . What a fabulous Christmas present!

Show quote history

Feels like EVERYTHING at this point - I always roll into Christmas with a few treat meals, so last night was a proper lasagne, tonight a French Canadian meat pie. Tomorrow will kick off with brioche cinnamon rolls (delegated to DS) for breakfast, then into lunch with gougères and a spatchcocked turkey with every trimming we can muster. Puds will be a Yule log (delegated to my DD) and a cranberry cheesecake (made this weekend and sitting in my overflow fridge now).

Boxing Day will be a buffet - carrying over the turkey, a newly baked ham, lots of salads and the Ottolenghi potato chaat (amazing, and addictive), plus a massive cheeseboard. There will be an apple tart added to the pudding cart for my niece, who is wild for all things apple.

Amd then from the 27th onward we’re out or I’ll be grazing on leftovers with my feet up!

Merry Christmas lovely friends in my phone! Posting now as I’ve made breakfast martinis so will not make sense beyond about 10am when DD wakes up 😂

Hope everyone has a wonderful time taking photos this year without fear now we are all smaller, happier and healthier. Thank you to everyone who has been along for the most marvellous journey this past year. Without question, it’s been the most liberating year I’ve had since I was about 19. 🎄😘🙌🥂

Breakfast martinis! Impressed.

Merry Christmas, one and all!

Am swanning around in my size 10 Morris print pjs, which I suggested firmly that DH should buy me after @Mounjaropen posted them a couple of threads back. They are amazing and I love them! Also, did I mention size 10? <twirls>
