2010 Weight Loss Club: Festively Fighting Flab into 2011

[prettybird]

Here is the new thread for us to achieve success in

Old thread is here

I'll change my name to my "Christmas" one after Saturday: I'm helping to organise the Scottish Mumsnet Christmas meet-up and it might confuse things if I change my name.

Oooh shiney!

Wreath pic on my 'new' profile 'specially for Piste!

Bebe - I can't get into your profile.

Would love to see your wreath

Pretty - No idea flange is rude Like the thread title.

There is 10cm of snow here, similar conditions to Kent now Blondes, forecast says we're likely to get the icy conditions back. More snow also overnight for everyone?

School is closed and dh can't get into work. We are going to the park for some sleighing.

dd was supposed to be in the Christmas play today and again tomorrow, I was looking forward to seeing it. Also the fete will be cancelled, I was supposed to be helpting the PTA with setting up Santa's grotto today.

STILL no snow! It's bloody freezing though! :( They are now saying on our local weather that it could get down to about -10 or -12 overnight tonight!

Flange can be a slang term for...ahem...lady bits!

Sorry, have made profile public & put picture on front page!

love your wreath Bebe oranges looking good

Piste said that word is a collective noun for a group of baboons!

Either meaning is not very attractive

ANyway, can I post my weight a day early, please, pretty please

I was 12 stone 5lb this morning after doing the Shred

That's a stone lost since I started (over a stone in fact, as I had been 13stone 6lb before I began on this thread - and probably even higher when I didn't dare weigh myslef )

It's 9lb since I started seriously back on FoodFocus in mid-October - so a steady 1-2lb a week.

Yaayyyyyy

I might just manage to break the 12 stone barrier by Christmas

So, after all my excited s, here is the updated list, showing my two pound loss this week

trimmer, you have 10cm, i have 12 inches in kent

i shall weigh tomorrow, but dont think its gonna be good news,im eating whatever crap we have in the house, as hard to get out and buy healthy food, so eating mr blondes unhealthy stuff

my car is now almost snowed in and snow is still falling

really pissed off as had 2 nanny nights planned tomorrow (local) and saturday (london) and no way i will get to either

blondes sobs her little heart out

I want to be snowed in!!!

Well done Pretty!! Fab!

I am feeling v sorry for myself, hip is agony & it's still a week til I get to see the doctor again! :(

You can have some of our snow - we have well over a foot

If I manage to lose another pound by tomorrow, I'll update again (but if today was an aberration, I won't admit to it )

Saturday is the Scottish Mumsnetters' Night Out so I will be going overboard with the Prosecco having a nice meal, so I'll have to be extra good for the rest of the week to make up. I'll have used up a lot of energy in the monring though as it is ds' school's Winter Fair, which is always very hectic (especially as I like to do the Toy Stall)

Not having a good day here, took the dc out to have some fun, they both cried as the snow went over their boots and they were freezing so came back home again. Ds had a strop and is in his room.

Pretty - very well done

Blondes - I hate this snow too, sorry to hear about how it's disrupted everything.

Bebe - I wish you could have our snow! Sorry your hip is painful.

bebe, sorry to hear about your hip,cant you get an earlier appointment - its not as if you are snowed in lol

trimmer - poor dc - snow is cold and wet and yukky

gh and i just trekked up our local (ish) shop to try and get bread and milk for us and neighbours - no milk and no deliveries since tue am but got part baked rolls, so will have that with either soup or cheese for tea

pretty - enjoy your night out , im gutted im missing both of my do's :(

Unfortunately I can't get an earlier appt, I have to have a double appt with a specific doctor incase I have to have this injection! :( Typical! The only thing they have said to do is put ice packs on it! But it's too bloody cold to sit with a bag of peas on it!

Wouldn't it be good if we could all meet up for mulled wine/hot chocolate/vodka glog/mince pies

Is it a vague possibility at some point?? Not atm but later on and for lunch somewhere although we are all scattered the length of and breadth of the country.

Blondes sorry you are missing your xmas dos

I am not having a good day food wise, had a bag of crisps and jaffa cakes this afternoon, and weigh in tomorrow.

Thank goodness we have other children for the dc to play with tomorrow, I think the school will still be closed - they were just in one of those moods where they got fed up with everything. Need some rainy/snowy days ideas asap

Be fab to meet up - we are all scattered about buy can we all get to London easily apart from pretty who is in Scotland

I'm so gutted I'm missing 2 piss ups partys :(

If we do it far enough in advance, I can get cheap Easyjet flights down to Luton (weather permitting of course! ).

Ds has a friend who has moved to Luton that he is desparate to see. Dh and I have talked about escorting him down and then having a dirty weekend in London . I could always come along to a Mumsnet Slinkies Meet-ups while he arranges to see some of his Master of Wine fellow students.

Would need to be well in advance though (and preferably when Luton are playing at home for ds who has decided to follow them now that his friend lives there) as the Friday afternoon and Sunday night flights tend to go up in price very quickly.

Sometime in the spring Pretty?

Sounds a plan pretty - so when are Luton next playing?

Having a chunky soup from a tin and part baked rolls for tea

Soon will be stale bread and water

GO AWAY SNOW - NO MORE PLEASE

March maybe?

April is my 50th birthday and ds has the two week spring break frist 2 full weeks of April so we might be going away (we had been planning on going to South Africa but with my mum's and FIL's problems, we're not geared up for that sort of extravagance) and then there's Easter and then there's The Wedding

Luton would be good for me, could stay with my mum then would have instant babysitter! :o

Have made popcorn this morning, so easy, how have I never done it before? I will try not to eat too much whilst threading it!

Gained 1lb this week. I watched Nigella last night then Rick Stein immediately afterwards combination of the evening munchies and those two not good....

I sts, which is probably just as well given the amount of popcorn I have just eaten , morning munchies! Didn't have breakfast though (apart from OJ) so I guess popcorn was my breakfast Hasten to add I didn't have as much as DD, who was not interested at all in threading it onto the cotton! No salt or sugar on it so can't be that bad I guess, no worse than cereal

Trimmer - 1lb isn't so bad, it'll be gone by 2moro! :)

Can I put in today's weight pretty please ? I can now claim a three pound loss from last week [smile, as I was 12stone 4 pounds - and that was without having done the Shred as I was going into town with dh to have breakfast and a Christmas wander around the shops.
