Here is the new thread for us to achieve success in Xmas Smile

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.

GettinFestive · 31/12/2010 09:12

I have been very brave and weighed in.

7lb on. This is worse than I thought Blush

Giving myself a realistic time frame, I am planning to lose a stone by easter.

Will update later.

In the house there are:

Brandy liquers
Dairy Milk chocolates (big box)
Roses Chocolates
a tin of terry's chocolate orange pieces
A box of quality street
Nigella chocolate christmas cake
Chocolate cheesecake

Dh will be hiding the chocolates as from tomorrow, we can save some of it till easter depending on the use by date!

I need a leg off, tummy tuck and boob reduction to sts Xmas Grin

bebeinamanger · 31/12/2010 09:58

4lb on here! Having an all round crap morning, so will update list later!

prettybirdinapeartree · 31/12/2010 10:19

Hi all! Xmas Smile

Had a great Christmas and tried and failed to exercise some restraint.

As I reult I have only put on 4 pounds Xmas Blush

So, back up to 12stone 3lb.

ill post more of an update later.

(BTW - dh and I never got out of our jammies on Tuesday - it was our first day "off" since the 23rd)

RatherBeOnTheMulledWine · 31/12/2010 10:27

Here's the list, I had to trawl back for it, so everyone can update yourselves!

3lbs on here - this was never going to be a losing week for any of us was it?! Least we know what we are facing now. Gulp.

Bebe - hope you're OK?

I'm relaunching myself (??!!) on Tuesday when I start work again as I can concentrate better, also DH is going away for a week or so to the States and I don't have to worry about making evening meals!

I win the award for the biggest weight gain so far Xmas Grin

Sadly, we were going out for lunch today but my friend has cancelled so won't see her. Something to do with teenagers Xmas Sad

I thought I'd take the opportunity to do a semi relaunch today, have some restraint and walk to sainsbury's (3 mile round trip) to get some bread.

Hope you're Ok Bebe. Gains not too bad slinks.

RatherBeOnTheMulledWine · 31/12/2010 11:29

Well done GT!

I love teenagers, they are so random. Had a pile here this morning as they were going rowing, its the squealing I don't really get, although I'm getting used to it! DH though isn't used to it and he was like this

Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm
ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused
Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm
ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused
Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm
ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused
Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm Xmas Hmm

and that in itself made me GrinGrinGrinGrin

We have been on this thread for virtually a year, and as Blondes says - everyone has lost and been successful. Let's take this success forward into 2011

If I don't get on again today, let me say Happy New Year now. I hope everyone gets what they wish for out of 2011!

xxoo

GettinFestive · 31/12/2010 11:37

Thanks Piste, I really will beonthemulledwine this evening. Not doing much, but mum/dad/brother are coming over to play games with the dc for a couple of hours Xmas Smile.

I lurk on the teenagers thread, they are fascinating aren't they?

Happy new year to all if I don't see you again!

dont forget to measure as well, i lost 27cms this year (till midnight) thats just over 10 inches Grin

RatherBeOnTheMulledWine · 31/12/2010 12:28

I crack myself up, I really do.

Be Headgirl and trim away.

bebejones · 31/12/2010 13:44

Right, I am back in the room!

Sorry to all who have gained! (But we did all think we would! Wink)

Having a miserable day. DH had a work crisis yesterday & today has been called away with his dad to sort it out. He wasn't supposed to be back at work til next Tuesday & we had things planned today :( So, have dismantled DDs cot & put her bed together all by myself! :o No doubt I shall be in trouble, but I don't care!

Just had a hearty bowl of chicken & veg soup for lunch. Going to walk to Tesco in a bit! Back to it now! :)

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/12/2010 14:23

Bebe and pretty - 4lbs isn't bad - better than trimmer and I

Mulled - well done - the lowest gain so far

Bebe - sorry Dh has to work :( hope he is back soon

Has to say it's been lovely meet you girls and we shall continue to lose weight next year

As you know this year has not been a good one for me with personal stuff in march/april but things have improved and since the situation in aug - things are a lot better tho will always be hard / but thanks for your support via emails xx

GettinFestive · 31/12/2010 15:08

Oh, this is sooo difficult. Just had a piece of Nigella's xmas chocolate cake, it didn't rise very much but it tasted.....divine. Especially with cream Blush

blondes This time next week we will weigh less.

I don't mind trimming the list later, I am anticipating we will have some new members to add themselves.

All the best for 2011 Xmas Smile

bebe hope your dh is home soon, what a pain.

piste Grin I daren't measure atm myself

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/12/2010 15:28

gawd i hope i weigh less next week, even a lb

RatherBeOnThePiste · 01/01/2011 09:57

Happy New Year my fellow Slinky Malinkies!
Let's hope this is a good un.

GettinFestive · 01/01/2011 10:48

I'm more muffin maclay than slinky malinky atm, I am just about to work out the number of weeks until easter to mark out how many weeks it will take to lose my stone.

Happy New Year to all. Who's got a hangover?

Salad planned for lunch with a jacket spud that's hanging around in the fridge.

bebejones · 01/01/2011 11:01

Just breaking in a new pair of jeans I got for Christmas....they are SO tight!

Back on the soups for me! I will not buy bigger clothes!

I am wearing the super tight jeans so that the pain reminds me that I must not eat all the cake/biscuits/crisps in the house! Wink

Happy New Year everyone! :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 01/01/2011 11:03

Got a bit of a thick head, but not too bad considering!

GT - You can be Muffin Maclay
and I'll be Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low big tum

that leaves a vacancy for
Hercules Morse for someone who's feeling as big as a horse.

any takers Slinks??!!

GettinFestive · 01/01/2011 11:20

Grin I feel like scarface claw atm with cheeky dd, time to get hr out for a walk

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/01/2011 12:54

morning - well tech afternoon :)

had a fab night last night, and walked, yes walked the 1.5 miles home with dh and in bed about 4am

awake and raring to go by 10

diet starts today :)

bebejones · 01/01/2011 13:58

Just made some broccoli & stilton soup with what was left of the cheese. I figured although it isn't terribly healthy the amount of cheese per portion will be quite small, much less than if I cut my self a piece to have with crackers! Blush Just had my last piece of Christmas cake, am making plum chicken & brown rice for dinner. Trying to use up as much of the food as possible. Just can't throw it out.

Have had a busy morning, taken all the inside decorations down & our living room looks bare! :( Got to pack DDs cot away & clean the washing machine! Oh the glamourous life I lead! Hmm

I'm feeling a bit Muffin-top MaClay in my new jeans today! But so far haven't snacked on anything naughty.

B - OJ & lf Strawberry yoghurt
L - Small bowl of brocolli soup & hm bread roll, Small slice of Christmas cake
D - Plum Chicken with brown rice

Need to focus now, must not slip back to old habits!
