good to see you Smalline and Bebe. it will take time to get settled in Smalline, but pleased for you it's all gone OK.

Bebe you will be able to focus in the new year. You and me both not being able to exercise. I have a scan on my right foot in January so they can find out what is wrong with it.

Smokin you are inspirational, well done!!

Pretty that is amazing 9lb in 2 weeks.

I hope to have sts tomorrow or even a small loss as I have forced myself not to touch the festive cheese, nuts, crisps, mince pies

RatherBeOnTheMulledWine · 23/12/2011 09:21

Smokin - you are going well - are you still low carbing? I shall no doubt be back to that after Christmas Blush

Lovely to see you Smalline too.
Let's relaunch ourselves in January shall we? I think I am going to try damage limitation until I go back on 4th.

But if I don't get a chance to pop in before, Happy Christmas everyone x

prettybird · 23/12/2011 14:19

I'm going to leave weighing in formally until tomorrow, to see how close to last year's Christmas Eve weight I can get ..... 'twas 11stone 13lb last year, but hoping to get within 3lb of that.

GettinTrimmer · 23/12/2011 14:20

Am still wi, this week then the 30th Dec. Gained a 1lb BUT it could have been a lot worse, stopped myself from scoffing piles of crisps, nuts, biscuits and cakes. I couldn't agree more about damage limitation Piste.

1lb gain due to loads of wine last weekend and too many nuts/crisps. I do not want to gain 7lb like I did last year.

Merry Christmas also to all of you x

smokinaces · 24/12/2011 21:18

Merry Christmas ladies!

GettinTrimmer · 26/12/2011 11:16

Well done Pretty!! Remind me what you are doing diet wise? I know you are doing the shred which I know really shifts the weight.

Blondes you will have a great time in Australia Smile

I am wi on Friday. I really can't face much more food at the moment. I hope not to have gained 7lb like last year.

prettybird · 27/12/2011 14:05

Hi Trimmer : it's a combination of the Shred, generally consciously trying to be more active (eg running upstairs, dancing while ironing Xmas Wink) and nearly full Atkins (ie high protein but still veg and some fruit but cutting out the OJ)

bebeinamanger · 27/12/2011 22:10

Well done Pretty!

for Blondes

I hope everyone had a good Christmas?!

I'm trying really hard to rid the house of 'bad stuff' before next week. So eating lots of chocolate & drinking lots of boozes! :o

DH got me Zumba fitness for the Wii for xmas, so am going to be able to ease myself back into exercise at home!

Will be back on the soups from next week, need to seriously kick my own butt!

Murtette · 28/12/2011 21:18

Hello ladies
Just thought I'd pop in & say Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all.
I've skimmed through some of the recent posts & it seems as though you're all sticking to the wagon pretty well. Thats an impressive amount of will power & exercise over the past 2 years.
Piste - well done on reaching goal! Super slinky congrats!
I got an exercise bike in June and started using it 3x a week and the weight started falling off and I got down to 11st4. Its now going back on again though as I'm 20 weeks pregnant and seem to have a huge bump already. I'm due in May so will be coming back to join you sometime in the summer. My aim this time is to go into labour weighing what I weighed post labour last time (13st6) as that should make the weight loss a lot easier. That plan could have been scuppered by the amount of cake, mince pies, chocolates & biscuits I've eaten in the past few days.
Smallline I hope you're settling into the new house.
Have fun celebrating NYE.

RatherBeOnTheMulledWine · 29/12/2011 08:52

Lovely to see you Murtette! Congratulations on the pregnancy, you be sure to let us know your good news Grin

Christmas was good for us although there is no doubt I have eaten too much of the bad stuff sO I shall be rejoining you to lose it next week.

Have a good day all x

GettinTrimmer · 29/12/2011 10:33

Murtette, congratulations! Good to see you too.

Well done Pretty & everyone with success on low carbing, but I'm a veggie (but some fish so not really a veggie!) so would be very difficult for me. Although I am cutting down to 1 slice of bread a day.

I am making enquiries today to see if our local leisure centre has any membership deals atm.

glad you had a good xmas Piste. I bet it involved chocolate...!

Bebe I have to ask dh to hide the crisps and nuts....

I have to go to sw tomorrow to wi, i hope the gain isn't too bad.

smokinaces · 29/12/2011 21:45

Evening all!

Well I had a wonderful Christmas, lots of lovely food and alcohol on the 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th Grin have been back on low carb since (so 27th, 28th and today) and am hoping to have limited the damage to a sts when I weigh in on Saturday AM. I was 11st 1.5 on the 22nd so heres hoping!

and at piste - only 2 weeks until I come see you and gate crash your house

GettinTrimmer · 30/12/2011 20:57

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/12/2011 21:54

We shall be starting our second year together, fabulous!

I am proposing a meet up at mine next summer when hopefully Pretty will be with us anyway because of the Olympic cycling. All children are warmly invited too. We will all have a good incentive to crack on with the diets too!!

I hope you will all be able to come!! We will have to work out the date, but it will mostly have to work round our Scot!!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/12/2011 21:55

third year is it? Starting our third year?!!
