NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

[BudaisintheZONE]

And a very good morning to you all!

New thread!!!!!!! As promised.

Weighed in and have lost the holiday kilo. So back to 15 st 3. Am still amazed that I only gained a kilo. There was NO restraint!

Goal now to get to 15 st.

Hi all! Still here. DS AND DH home so stopping me from mning keeping me busy! A few small yule log biffing incidents and drinks dos with loads of greasy fattening canapes. Got back in the zone properly last night and shredded too. Keeping fingers X for friday.

Slobbadan, did you manage to find any rye bread?

justamin, a big hamper-wow-lucky you! Hopefully you're getting down to the quince jelly and anchovy fillets etc. now and won't feel like biffing!

My boss has made a Christmas cake to have with our morning coffee! I think it would be rude and career damaging to refuse.

That's my treat for the day.

Slobbadan - I get the total 0% greek yoghurt - mix it up with some berries, almond flakes and a tiny bit of honey and its lvoely and v filling.

Christmas cake sounda like a good treat Justaminute - am impressed at that plus the hamper! Well done on all the walking in the snow - is abit like iceskating isnt it

Its nice to see everyone is in the christmas spirit!

Justaminute - im also finding it hard to fit in exercise and be motivated, the cold puts me off. But i have been busy with work and having to walk there and back bacause of the snow and trying to spring/christmas clean before friday. Really would like to have the 1lb off and be the same as i was before i gained last week.

Managed to get some rye bread from morrisons in the fresh bakery section and it was yummy!I have to watch tho because bread is my nemisis and if its a tasty loaf i will keep going back for more (i actually have stoped buying the seeded batch loaf becauseits too tasty when toasted).

This dropped off the threads I'm on
I'm kind of relaxed about food at the moment as I've been ill and ds1 has been ill. We've been stuck in the house so eaten whatever.
I've not binged or even opened the chocs yet but have been having lots of hot toast and butter and the likes.
I'll definitely be back to try to fulfill my new years resolution of losing a stone by end of feb!

Hi ladies- can I join the thread please?
I'm more comfortable with kilos as opposed to stone.
My starting weight was 72.9 kg (size 14) in October and I am now to 66 kg. My target is size 10, which is likely to be at some point between 60 and 61 kilos.

have been mostly cutting out junk (apart from the odd off day- or weekend!) exercise- not so much, but need to step it up.

need a healthy dose of pressure to stay on track over christmas!!

Welcome SeaGreen - I think most of the regular posters are taking a well deserved xmas break so you'll probably get more response after xmas. Well done on your weight loss so far - if you're not exercising much, try doing so, you'll find a mixture of cardio and weights will give you great resutls and help you get into that size 10 that little bit quicker. And enjoy christmas - but dont go too crazy. My top tip - drink lots of water and try and get some exercise in where you can.

Welcome seagreen!

Cant stop long but i just wanted to say i may have a GREAT incentive for weight loss 2011............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. i may be booking my wedding for september!!!!!!!!!!

(been engaged for 7.5yrs!)

Wow Slobbadan - that's fab news!

thanks dinkystinky - yes i will remember to keep drinking water. and not drooling too much while looking at the turkey

congratulations slobbadan!

Slobbadan, congratulations!!. What brilliant news AND a fantastic incentive!

Welcome SeaGreen! All a bit quiet here at the mo-everyone frantically trying to get reading for the big day!

Good luck for final weigh in tomorrow everyone. I don't think there will be much change for me-after all my talk. The temptation of choc coins/logs/mince pies etc has proved a bit too much for me but I'm still positive and feeling focused on the New Year. We'll all get there!

Thank you all i cant wait, im in full planning mode.

Well its the Christmas eve weigh in and i did lose but only 1/4lb, but its still a loss (all be it a miraculase one as i have done some serious baffage this week.

Wish you all good luck in the weigh in and Merry Christmas! x

Welcome Seagreen and huge congratulations to Slobbadan, that is wonderful news. I've only been married a year and a half, but I would gladly do it all again, I loved my wedding day, Hope you have a perfect day too. Keep us all updated with the planning, gosh really excited for you.

Well Sorry I've been quiet this week, but had my Mum here since Sunday and she's staying until the New Year. So I've been a busy bee. Have not yet got into the party spirit and with breastfeeding I can't really see me overdoing it on the booze either.

Anyway got on the scales this morning and lost 1 lb, so I'm well happy with that, as I haven't really stuck too closely to my diet this week.

Wish everyone good luck with the weigh in and MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone

Morning everyone. Happy Christmas Eve!

I have stayed the same this week-not surprising really. Was at a drinks party last night and had about six VERY chocolately truffles. They were delicious but I did feel a bit sick afterwards! My capacity for chocolate biffing has def. diminished!

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a great time and look forward to catching up in a few days.

Fab news Slobbadan! I received a Christmas card with the promise of an invite to a wedding in July. Nothing beats a wedding in the motivation to slim category.
I sts this week ? surprised and relieved to have not gained after the Christmas cake and hamperfest .
Welcome Seagreen I?m aiming to get from a size 14 (admittedly more of a 16 bottom half and 12 top half ? I like to think size 14 is the average of my pear shaped bod!) into a 12 all over so I?ll pressure you if you could pressure me .
Right I?m off to bake copious numbers of mini mincepies and get the bubbly on ice. Enjoy Christmas and new year everyone and I?ll be back in the new year to undo the damage and channel my energy into BEING SLIM!

Well done on the sts justaminute and iluv, and well done on the lb loss thedogwalker!

Here's to a thinner 2011!

Hello all and Merry Christmas!

As you may have guessed I have fallen off the wagon. Haven't even looked for thread as knew it would make be feel guilty.

Haven't read anything - just spotted thread in active convos. So. Hope you are all well. I will be back in January. Very definitely!

Me too! Happy Christmas everyone!!

Merry christmas one and all - have a good one x

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERY ONE! XX

How are we all? Have we all biffed with in an inch of our lives? bacause i know i have!

Im going to be on serious detox after the new year, especialy as i have been looking at wedding dresses.

Congrats Slobbadan! Fantastic news!
Woohoo wedding dress shopping will be so exciting. You know you're gonna have to link all your favourites so we can have a look too

Hope everyone had a good Xmas and are still enjoying the festive season.
I daren't weigh myself until I've dieted for a whole week at least - starting Jan 2nd of course (though I have to start this week really otherwise my work clothes will be too tight for next week!)

Hi all. Hope everyone has had a great Christmas! How are you all doing?

I have eaten my own body weight in Quality Street over the last week and have done zero exercise. Have enjoyed eating the chocs but can't say I've enjoyed how they've made me feel. I def. feel more tired as well with all the sugar consumption.

Am slowly easing myself back into the zone and am hoping to shred tonight.

I had a sneaky mid week weigh in this morning and have STS. How the hell is that possible? Very pleased tho. Must have been burning calories with the constant munching I've been doing

Well I've just a booked a holiday with my (very slim) sister for Feb half term.
Can't wait to go but don't want to go looking like this.

I need to get at least pool side swimming costume fit by then.

My plan is
Proper healthy eating with one small treat a day. No more than 1250cals a day.
Shred every day.
Body brushing every day to try to smooth out lumpiness!

I haven't weighed myself in a while and I'm not going to until Fri. I'm sure I've put on a couple of lbs.

Well done iluv on sts! Thats brilliant for over Xmas.

Well done i love for STS, i have put on at least 3lbs that i know of .

Shaxx bet you cant wait for your holiday, nothing like the fear of getting semi-naked in public to kick start your plan!

I have been an absolute pig and its only because its there not because i want it, just pure greed!

Well i will start on saturday afresh as i have got a nye party on fri that im having so last chance before diet starts.

I will not be going to WW as i need the 25 per month to go towards the wedding, speaking of which i have my favourite dress to show you here
