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.

Blondes - since you are close & know the roads round there, would you say we would be wise not to go?

200 cocktail sausages not 50

it was 50 cheese and onion rolls

so 250 in all

BAD WOOFA!!

BEBE,i would have thought you would be ok, its mainly a21 there and thats clear

party went well, 35 kids in all, im shattered and i ate tons of bad stuff, so sure would havce gained friday

Will speak to DH about it, he is not keen! The roads here are not good (they never get gritted ) so he is a bit wary about going! Plus he has to work the next day & it'd be just our luck that it'd take us to the early hours of the morning to get home! Don't know the roads & driving that late on (10/11pm) in ice might be a bit risky! Just don't know what to do for the best Really want to go, DD would love it!

Naughty naughty piggy Woofa!! :o (It is a teeny bit funny! )

Glad your party went well! :)

Read this if you dont want to go Bebe:-
She would enjoy being there I'm sure, but it is a lot for such a little girl - travelling and a very long day. She would probably enjoy it more if she was a couple of years older. Maybe bag it this year, you and your DH are clearly v unsure about it. Then in the future if you really wanted to, you could look into it.

If you had paid for the tickets it would be different! However, just because you won them doesn't mean you have to go. You aren't being ungrateful, it's just too much this year.

Read this if you want to go:-
You are over thinking this. Just go for it, don't worry, just do it!!

HTH

I agree with your first statement Mulled, it's so far for her and quite late in the day! If it wasn't so snowy/icy I'd feel better about going. (I know she would sleep on the way) I could then go to my mums after, but just don't fancy the M25 at the moment at all! DH just doesn't want to go full stop, the snow is his get out of jail free card!

We will stay home & have a lovely snowy & safe Christmas. Might take her sledging at PILs farm on Xmas day (if the snow is still around!)

Have been SO bad this evening! T/A pizza & shortbread & quality street! Just so knackered after the particularly taxing drive home! Almost certain I have gained this weekend. Clothes are feeling tighter :(

maybe ring them and say you are snowed in and could you take a rain check/delay for a few weeks - not sure when shuts, or does it shut after xmas

is that a silly question?

off to a panto with dc - my last day and then 2 weeks off :)

It shuts at Christmas! Going to email the PR lady today.

Our waste pipes in the bathroom are frozen! Awesome! I have spent the morning pouring kettles of boling water into the sink & bath & then mopping out the water!

Tis the season to be jolly..........

I was thinking along the same lines as Blondes, is it at all an option that you could postpone?

what else did you win? You've inspired me to enter the next one!

I think I would have gained on Friday too, I've been snacking on hula hoops

Also mince pies.

If you look at the 'winners corner' it lists all the stuff! :) It's alot & my brain is mush!

Took DH & FIL over an hour to do what is normally a 15min drive into work today! Have emailed the PR lady. I just don't think it's wise with a 2 year old. Our rubbish collection has been cancelled. The roads are very slushy/icy & it's quite hilly round here. Don't know how I'd get up the hill by PILs farm! Hoping it'll be a bit better by Saturday, don't think I could stand the grief I'd get if FIL didn't see DD at Christmas!

Off out again this evening to put my face in another trough. I cannot imagine how ugly it will he on Fridays weigh in

On a very positive note DDs mate with anorexia actually had lunch here today!! Woop!! Only pasta and tomato sauce and I left them to make and eat it, making my excuses that I had jobs to do and took DS too. I didn't want her to feel she had an audience. DD just said she actually did eat it too!! Yay. A massive step for her!

Yaaaayyyyyyy [fsmile

Posting today in case I don't have time tomorrow (it's been very hectic this week) but I was 11 stone 13lb this morning.

It's just been very cold up here: had two inches of nice dry snow on Saturday (?) but that's been about it. Lost of freezinf fog (mostly overnight) so the trees are all exquisite: every twig traced in white contrasted against thier dark trunks. Fairytale countryside: dh and I drove up to Stirling yesterday to deliver some wine/see another MNer in the sunshine yesterday and were ooh-ing and aah-ing all the way.

Hope everyones' parties went OK - Blondes you are very brave and bebe, hope your hating is working well enough.

If I don't have time to come back on, have a Merry Christmas everyone and here is the latest list

well done pretty - you did it :)

Well done Pretty you so deserve it.

Weighed myself this morning and.... I am still the same.

Glad you got home safely Bebe.

Well done Pretty! You are amazing!

Ahem. Think you meant heating?!!! But maybe not!

Blondes ... How's your foot these days?

Lawks. Off out again today. Expecting a stone gain tomorrow.

Well done Pretty!! :o You are so good, what an achievement just before Christmas!

I on the other hand have been very very bad! I am not looking forward to weighing in 2moro. :( I think I am officially 'giving up' until the New Year. Then will be back on soups. Noticed Covent Garden have got a soup out aimed at people doing a soup diet in the New Year. Clever marketing there!

Oops Of course I meant heating

I am very pleased with myself. Only 2 stone to go!

I also made 54 mince pies yesterday (most of them going to ds' school for the teachers) and didn't eat one. Had only one of the 150 "curry puffs" (mini sausage rolls made with sausagemeat to which I add curry powder and then wrap in puff pastry) that are now in the freezer waiting to be cooked as and when necessary (did a test batch of 10 for dh).

I am allowing myself one mince pie and one spice biscuit a day. Bubbly of course has NO calories

54!!! I just tired myself out making 15!

Heating is ok (ish), it is at least warm!

Curry puffs sound really yummy, might have to give those a whirl!

Ankle still swollen but doesn't hurt. Tbh not sure if will ever go down now. Been months. Havnt been to the gym since but still paying the fees but plan to go in jan and see what like

Now tooth is a different matter. Was meant to go this am after last weeks 3hrs traffic jam where I missed my appointment due to the poxy snow

Got phone call this am saying dentist was snowed in but they would fit me If I went at 4pm

3hrs ago got another phone call saying dentist made it in but has gone home early as felt ill. I asked if hungover and receptionist was oh no , tinkly laugh

Hmmmmmmm. Yeah right

So now shut till wed so have appointment for root canal then

Oh Blondes. How annoying and frustrating for you. What a pain up the a**e.

And your foot too. Please take it carefully when you go back to it. Maybe take advice first from your GP if they're any good?

Did final final shopping today and I really hope that we are done now. Except I need a bigger cake board but can get that locally tomorrow.

We are weighing in tomorrow right?! I need to know how bad it is really.

yes weighing tomorrow

'hangs head in shame'

Blondes...if it is bad tomorrow on the weighing in front, we can always slope off and have a gin.

indeed we can and better to weigh tomorrow before we pig out for a week of yummy food

Scoffing sounds coming from SW London.

But everyone, let this NOT be us come a week tomorrow

hehe,hopefully not lol

I weighed in today, was up till early hours last night with stomach upset.

BUT I have lost weight. 1lb, may be 1.5lb. Woo Hoo!!
