That's not too bad though after a night out, so well done on the few chips!

Down 0.5 for me to 12 2.5 so still need another 1 off to be evens. Fasting today, let's see how that goes...

Also work Christmas 'party' has been brought forward to Tuesday which reduces my timeframe for pre-Christmas loss !

Well done Fjorn, keep going!

I have a works Xmas meal Monday but will try and keep up with a few good days between bad....

Felt rubbish when I got home but have (mostly) got through it with only a few choccie coins from the tree. Hopefully will be back to 100% tomorrow.

ServicePlease · 13/12/2013 06:49

Still at 10.9.25 which I feel is a tad unfair! Still feel a bit crappy so shouldn't overdo it tonight as long as I can swerve comfort food during the day....

ServicePlease · 13/12/2013 06:51

Yes, so it's +2.25 on the week Hmm

FjorGynAndHotWater · 13/12/2013 08:37

Oh bugger Sazz, maybe you've fully caught up from your tummy bug? Or eaten a whole pound of Christmas chocs??? Hope you are feeling better today and manage to swerve all the goodies lying around.

I managed to lose a bit more yesterday so down 0.5 on the week to 12 1. Just 1.25 to go!!! never gonna happen Looking at my chart I have managed to lose the grand total of 2.5lb since 25 October Shock which is bloody ridiculous and no doubt to be repeated again this holiday. Maybe I can get a fast or two in plus some alcohol-free days hahahahahaha

HelgatheHairy · 15/12/2013 15:56

Wrote a post yesterday but managed to delete it before posting and never got the chance to come back.

10.9.8 at last weigh in so getting there very very slowly.

HelgatheHairy · 15/12/2013 16:07

Doing shorter posts then I might get them posted!

DH was off all last week so have been eating more with him around and there have been a few takeaways and the weather has been really bad somedays so DH walking DDog on his own.

I've been hijacked by homemade sausage rolls and red wine tonight but hoping that the 10k at the gym yesterday will have counteracted it (2.5k run, 5k bike, 2.5k row). Jumped on the scales yesterday and was 10.8.5 but will be more tomorrow!

Hey Helga, well done on the loss. Slow but sure is our motto Grin

ServicePlease · 16/12/2013 06:58

-0.75 for the weekend to 10.8.5 Hmm. I can categorically say I wasn't that good!

However Fridays weight was also hmm so I'll just see where I settle. Department Xmas do tonight so lot the best start to the week diet wise but should be fun Smile

FjorGynAndHotWater · 16/12/2013 16:35

Good work showing a loss for the weekend sazz Shock [impressed] have fun at your work's do tonight!

Good to see you are creeping downwards too Helga Smile

I ended up +3 this morning to 12 4 but not too bad as had baileys and cheeseburger for tea last night! Having a fast day today as work Christmas fuddle tomorrow. Bit less exciting than yours I think Sazz!

ServicePlease · 16/12/2013 23:37

I'm home! Drove so few alcohol calories. Probably made up for it in food though Blush. Feel a bit sick now though Hmm

Well done on a less bad weekend Fjorn Grin

FjorGynAndHotWater · 17/12/2013 15:47

Was down 2 to 12 2 this morning but have been eating like a pig all afternoon and feeling a bit sick now Blush think I am full enough to do another fast tomorrow though!

OP posts:
ServicePlease · 17/12/2013 17:05

I'm feeling a bit coldy poorly today and had to do some work, so no exercise. Have been ok on food as long as I don't go mad tonight.

However no gym tomorrow and friends over dinner so this week is becoming a write off......

Luckoftheirish · 17/12/2013 17:45

Echo the poorly bit sazz Hmm hope you are on the mend

Fjorny remember the icky feeling you have tomorrow when u are fasting Smile

Healthily eating gone out the window due to ill and mega busy, this working business is a hard juggling act Grin

ServicePlease · 18/12/2013 06:43

Down 0.25 to 10.8.25 so on a par with last weds.

Am missing out on my good exercise day today and friends staying tonight.

Someone needs to kick my ass to do some exercise tomorrow!

Hope the afternoon wasn't a complete write off Fjorn?

LOTI - can you make up a veg chilli or similar with loads of fresh spice and garlic to battle the bugs?

FjorGynAndHotWater · 18/12/2013 07:13

Was only away from my desk for an hour in the end, was a bit of a rubbish Christmas party to be honest Xmas Sad but didn't have any tea Xmas Shock well apart from a piece of chocolate log... so only +0.75 this morning . Am thinking of fasting today if I can avoid all the leftovers!

Hope you are feeling better today Sazz and enjoy your night with friends.

Hope youa re feeling better tooo Loti and work eases up. When's your last day before Christmas? I'm working today, half a day tomorrow as it's DS' nativity in the morning then Friday is my last day for TWO WHOLE WEEKS Xmas Grin

FjorGynAndHotWater · 19/12/2013 09:18

Soooo close at 12 0.5 this morning! One more day of health health health before all bets are off. Hoping not to go too mad over Christmas but have hoped that many many times before Xmas Blush Haven't bought any luxury chocolate biscuits or sweets though (kids will hate me Xmas Grin) so a bit less temptation I suppose. Lots of booze though Xmas Grin

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 19/12/2013 12:13

Where are you guys???? I've just eaten my cottage cheese salad lunch after no breakfast so as long as i keep away from the biscuits i might just nip in under 12 in the morning [excited]. Am already planning chocolate croissant breakfast treat if i manage it though Xmas BlushXmas BlushXmas Grin

ServicePlease · 19/12/2013 17:17

Sorry, I've been demolishing food and drink here Grin

Friends over for dinner last night so cheese was involved and had lunch at a friend's today. I really need to be good for the 2 days before the work party on Sat night but I can feel my willpower slipping away......

Brilliant on your nearly under 12 Fjorny Smile

Chocolate croissants are yucky so you deffo don't need that!

ServicePlease · 20/12/2013 06:55

-0.75 to 10.8.5, more due to last Fridays odd weigh in!

Am keeping even (ish) this week which is an achievement in itself.

Catered lunch at work today.....

FjorGynAndHotWater · 20/12/2013 07:15

Wow Sazz they are really spoiling you at work with all your parties and food Xmas Envy hope you have a yummy lunch! And well done on being down despite all the fun Xmas Smile

Rather annoyingly down 0.25 on yesterday and a measly -0.75 for the week (hardly worth it!) so I didn't make it under 12 and am 12 0.25. I really wiggled on the scales too Xmas Grin Partying starts tonight, well boozing in front of the fire wrapping presents, am going to try not to put 10 on this Christmas...

Loti are you feeling a bit better matey?

Helga how's it going?

OP posts:
Luckoftheirish · 20/12/2013 09:21

What's a little 0.25 fjorny?? Well done lady and u too sazz Smile

Got myself a horrible chest infection Hmm look like hell too which is marvellous coming up to Xmas!!

Only positive thing is that although appetite not great craving health food only silver lining and all that Wink

ServicePlease · 20/12/2013 11:17

PMSL at wobbling on scales Grin

I am being spoilt by loads of events but I really, really don't want to put it all back on again so am trying to be really good when not having food flung at me. I am going to try and get to the gym between now and Xmas eve. Still hoping to get to 10 1/2 for Xmas......

LOTI, poor you. Good to hear your body is craving good food.
