How much have we all put on then??

[StrawberrySnowflakes]

i go back to SW tomorrow night(normally mon morn, but obv not this wk as NYD)..it appears, since last time i went 5 weeks ago(dd/mindees been ill, couldnt make it), ive put on 2 1/2lb', but also , so gla i stuck to it slightly when off when children ill otherwise i could be crying now!

Have just weighed myself and I've only put on two pounds! That is my smallest gain ever at christmas. This is the first year ever that I didnt buy a massive tin of quality street .

I have got loads of big spots round my chin from too much cheese and crisps though so i havent got off scott free.

well done!..im actually only eating weetabix or porridge now!..im sooooooo sick of sweet/rich food over christmas, so this shouod help

well just been to loo and had a bath and have now only put on 1 1/2..must have been all the accumulated dirt since i stopped work xmas eve

You lucky ladies! I'm fully expecting to have put on at least half a stone. I just can't keep my pigging to christmas day and boxing day and instead eat rubbish for the two weeks around christmas
My new year's resolution (don't even say it...) is to get down to my goal weight. I started dieting 3 months after ds was born, he is two in a few weeks and I'm still not there! Wish me luck.

Ah and there I was sobbing into my weetabix (no more croissant in this house....)

Hee hee! I need to lose about a stone and a half I think (depending on weigh in on Thurs) but that is only to get to the top of my recommended weight range...grrr...

phew!!! to get to top of my rec weight i need to lsoe about 5stone!...am going for 1 1/2 - 2lb a week until 18 aug07 (our fab hol)that should mean ive lost about 4st all in all!

I try to work to 1/2 stones as mini goals (at my best I had lost 2 1/2 stone after ds but I've put almost a stone back on over the last 5 months )
My friend used to have marbles in a jar (one for each lb) of what she wanted to lose and an empty jar to start then each lb she lost she would take out a marble. I think I might do that or make a chart to colour in, I need a constant pat on the back when I do lose weight to keep me going! I'm one of those people who is more encouraged to try hard when I do lose rather than weeks when I don't lose or even worse put on...makes me want to give up

Oh and where are you going on holiday SS - I'm looking for inspiration at the moment!

im going to Nissi Bay in Cyprus and im told its very posh with mainly footballers, d.j's and models staying there..so better take drastic action until thencos dont wanna be a beached whale!

here, but cant get the nicer pics in larger size theyre all tiny!

OOoooooooooooh, looks lovely! How old are your dcs?

i have one dd shes 3 will be 4 when we go.
and there are lots of other children going(wedding) ranging from 2-8.
we're about a 40 min walk from aiya napa, so hopefully although peak season, it shouldnt be too mad>>

Lovely, lovely. We have dd the same age but also ds (2yrs in a few weeks) I think that makes a big difference in our holiday planning....I'm longing for the day we can go on a break to the sun (dh not brave enough yet )

well we went to palma nova in feb last year and i always said i would love to go back in season.
beaches were beautiful!!!, lots to do even that time of year.
Our hotel was called vista nova and was FAB..very posh and we all had SC apartments within...huge pools!indoor and out!
was about 5-10mins(5 adults 10 with kids) walk down to cross over point between magaluf and palma nova, but not the nightclubby bit, just the family pubs and the other direction took you into palma nova centre, lot quieter..you should look into that!..mum at dd's school went in Aug last year and said there were lots more for kiddies to do!
