Glad you're feeling better Bexsy and well done on the weightloss whyme :)

Well done Those stone boundaries are great!

Swimming pool not open at a sensible time on a Thursday. Pity. I'm going to have to eat a lot less and maybe do the wii fit.

Hi ladies

Not forgotten you. Diet pretty much non-existent at the moment so feel a bit of a hypocrite. Am bookmarking anyway so that i dont lose you and so that you might spurn me on to actually DO something about my weight (even if it does turn out to be after christmas!!).

:o

Hiya rg. Christmas is going to be a challenge for all of us. No swimming combined with peanuts in the pub meant I put a lb back on this morning. I know I shouldn't weigh myself every day, but I try to...

Official WI today, only a ickle loss of 0.3ibs today, but am happy with this .

Not a lot of serious exercise this week due to quite bad weather so didn't make it out running , have missed it , so defo happy with small loss.

Well done on the losses i've read on here and good luck to everyone else who will be weighing in

RGPARGY - >Waves< Missing you please come back soon missing reading your updates and progress.

I really need to change my weigh in day to Thursday. I was a pound down since about Monday and I've put it back on today - I'm sure it will be gone again tomorrow.

Well, I stand no chance of weight loss for Friday 23rd but have had a great weekend.

Works Christmas Party was Friday, food was lovely, music lovely and the double vodkas lovely .

Then straight to Reading on the Saturday (by train) to visit MIL and FIL and again possibly too many vodkas oh my and a chicken kebab .

But I havent given up, it's just one of those things and do you know what I had a great time, but know that today is another day and I pick up my healthy living/lifestyle where I left it before Friday evening .

Uh oh Monday was Christmas meal with work and now I'm staying with relatives who always over cater and have too many mince pies lying around! Trying to be good...

Hi Bexsy and everyone else!! :o

Still no diet going on here () but i have to admit i am looking forward to getting back on the wagon after Xmas for both my exercise and my food. I am a little fed up with eating crap but i know that i cannot deny myself at this time of year. Tomorrow I am at the office, which will no doubt end up in a pub lunch, Friday i have a half day so it has been planned that we will all go to the pub at lunch time and just not bother coming back to the office! Saturday (Xmas Eve) i have a whole bunch of family coming round in the afternoon (haven't seen them in about a year!! :o), so i will be baking sausage rolls, pizza, nibbles etc, Sunday is Xmas day, Monday i will be having another roast and thankfully tuesday I have a pump class to attend!

I am currently baking christmas cupcakes for the girls in the office. I have decided tho to bake them tonight and ice them tomorrow. I think i have gone a bit over the top with what they expect from me lol. I keep forgetting that girls in the office dont give a crap what cake looks like, as long as it's cake!! I have decided however to put immense pressure on myself and make them xmas themed with either snowmen on the top or little xmas trees. Erk!! If they are a success i will post pics up on here!!

Anyway, just going to finish my wine (!!) and then go to bed. Been drinking wine pretty much every night this week. Not good. But oh well, I'm feeling christmassy so i'm afraid it cannot be helped!! I will not confess to the fact that we got a free box of 12 mixed wines from Virgin at the end of November and now there is only 1 bottle left. That would be awful confessing that. So i am not going to. :o

RGPARGY Whoop it's christmas well very nearly and reckon it's the one time of year I can't be completely rigid on as I love christmas and everything that goes with it usually alcohol and chocolates

I am currently looking eyeing up at my box of maltesers that are on the christmas shelf (yes we have a shelf full of goodies for the family that start to get opened christmas eve) waiting to be opened.

I am going for 1 final run tomorrow evening but then that will be it til Tuesday/Wednesday x

Hello everyone

I am taking a week off from tomorrow until after christmas. We are going to the inlaws for three days and there will be large meals with approx one hour recovery time between each meal. There will also be alcohol on tap and a seasonal variety of chocolates, cakes and biscuits. This is no time to swim against the tide.

However since I have been using mfp I have definitely lost the ability to overeat like I used to. I seem to get full much quicker which can only be a good thing so I am going to try to stick with not stuffing myself but still enjoying some lovely things.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

5 pounds down since last Friday which more than makes up for the lack of weight loss last week. I'm now overweight rather than obese (just) so if I can maintain this weight until the new year I'll be a very happy bunny :)

I hope everyone has a great Christmas

Well done Queenstromba that is great news and encouraging to hear about

Didn't make it out for my last run before christmas but did do all my house work

Next time I run will be in my new running shoes whoop can't wait to try them out

Wow, even with works do and staying with inlaws and eating kfc on the motorway(!) I still managed to lose weight :) Getting up early and driving to a pool twice must have done the trick.

Christmas tomorrow though, aargh!

Merry Christmas everyone

Hope it's a good/nice one for all

Happy Christmas. I'm going to enjoy my dinner today and not feel guilty!

Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy your day and all the food that goes with it!

Have had a gr8 2 days am so loving christmas this year

Well I now have my new first pair of proper running shoes and am so excited

Hope everyone is enjoying this time

running shoes That c25k sounds great.
I'm not doing so bad considering the amount of scrummy things lying around. Walked about 5 miles this afternoon and felt much fitter than last time I did this walk (2.5 years ago and about 1.5 stone heavier). Several people have noticed that I have lost weight and I have told people I'm doing mfp! Going on holiday Friday - hope I can stick to the 1500 while I'm away but maintaining would be ok! Beer and sloe gin later

Am feeling decidedly fat and bloated. Two Xmas dinners in two days (one veggie and one turkey) and a few chocolates later I'm really feeling sluggish lol. Cannot wait to hit the gym tonight. Will be doing a much needed body pump session! As usual we have bought far too much stuff for Xmas. We're both looking at all the Xmas food and going "eeuuugh!" coz we've just had enough of it already! We ended up with 3 tins of heroes too. Two of them will be given away I think! There's no way I want to eat them! Thankfully if I leave stuff in the kitchen at work it soon goes so that's where one is the tins will be going!

Hope you've all had a lovely Xmas. Looking forward to a slim and healthy new year!

Ok I've started c25k. Just done my first session and survived. Even quite enjoyed it....

Jchocchip Great work on starting couch 25k. I love it as it clears my head of everything for the time that I am out . Somedays I struggle to get changed and go out for my run but that is solely my lazy side coming out once more but I Push myself and go and when I do I enjoy it. Good luck with it and look forward to hearing your reports on it

RGPARGY Like you have the bloated feeling whilst surveying tubes of chocolates and pringles still on our christmas shelf am ensuring the dc's are eating them to dispose of them rather than me, according to my ds I am a good mummy lol ummmm may just have the box of maltesers though tonight, well it would be rude not to participate with the children

To try and counteract the last 2 days I have done a small 1 mile run today and just completed my xmas present (Wii Zumba) so feeling a little with myself but not confident I would have lost this week reckon I may have added a few but it's christmas so will soon come off again . Am still going to weigh so I can see the damage and know what I have to do to lose again, I am not giving up I will keep going.

I will be a nice weight and shape for my holiday in July 2012
