I'm Dreaming of a Light Christmas. The Lose 7lbs in December Thread (Or at least not gain 7lbs!)

[BitOutOfPractice]

Happy Advent!

Here's the link to the November thread where we cheered each other on to be MoSlender

Now we slide frostily into Christmas with the hope of losing more (or at least not losing our grip completely)

I thought it didn't sound like a very Prezzo-y menu Hairspray. Sounds divine though, hope you enjoy it!

I'm sure someone said they were going to Prezzo though.. I can't keep up with this thread

Oh me! I'm going to prezzo on Sunday. Maybe. If we are all well. I'm watching for hand foot and mouth.

I made cake. I ate too much icing. I'm not havjng dinner.

Argh! First picture was supposed to be another cake. Sorry.

And I apologise for posting cake. I realise in hindsight it's inappropriate. I'll only be having a slither. It is gluten and dairy free.

Hi all

After mega Thai blow out last night (no rice or noodles, just meat and steamed kale) I am going to be a model dieter today - at least until 6pm when we're going out for dinner.

DDs and I did parkrun this morning on a glorious sunny but cool morning - not my best time but it was ACE fun.

I'm actually starting to enjoy eating less and being more mindful and healthy about what I eat.

Oh man, I had to stop writing to chat with my friend in who has delivered 2kg of home grown cherries. Drooooooool

Oh god, just seem my photo from Parkrun - picture a sweaty portly purple faced middle-aged women staggering along next to a lake. Kaboom! That's clearly me.

Am devvo. And have renewed resolve to shift this(these) spare tyre(s).

Whereabouts in the world are you archduke? Not the uk obvs

FELL OFF THE THREAD! Much like I've fallen off the wagon... there's not much hope for me until January I fear! My brain and belly have decided it's definitely the festive season .

Just went back and recorded a run I did this week on runkeeper. Can't believe I didn't log it! I discovered my new phone logs my walking around activities without me asking it to. I seem to do around 5000 steps as standard (and 12 flights of stairs a day!). I find myself pouting at it: but I cycle everywhere, why don't you log that automatically? My friend has promised to force me back into the gym next week so maybe I'll get my fitness mojo back - it's the key to healthy/less eating for me: all or nothing it seems.

Amazing wordsmithery lorelei! Busty issues are a mystery to me

Thanks Kiki
I miss my old b cups.

I am jumping in here a bit late. I had a very social November and got it all out of the way but ended up fat and flabby.

Started low carb 2 days ago at 11s11. Weighed in at 11s9 this morning. I was 11s2 this time last year

Off to the panto this afternoon. Diet Coke for me while everyone else has ice cream.

Good luck with the weekend dieting everyone.

Not having much success here. Hard to stay on track when I'm feeling crap. But at least my bloods have been done now, so hopefully I'll have an answer for my possible anaemia this week and can get sorted :)

Hello primal! enjoy the panto! (Phone autocorrected that yo panties! It was nearly bugger-gate all over again.

Beyond be kind to yourself. You need to recouperate

Hello all by the way. I've lost 1.5lbs which makes 3lbs for December so far. I'm teetering on the edge of a new stone bracket. I'd love to crack that by Christmas

Well done Bit.
And yo panties is a brilliant addition to the thread, instead of saying " go whoever" when there's a loss we can just shout "yo panties! Yo panties" etc

Happy Saturday everyone!

Beyond, you are hardcore but please don't be worrying about what you are eating right now!

Good going Boop!

Yo panties! Just out of a Rod Steward gig. Oh my goodness that man still has it in spades. I have sung my heart out. Off to the pub now. Buffet the calories!

Omd those words make such a good swap!
Anyone throw panties at Rod?

Lorelei there were some quite obsessive women in the first couple of rows. They were split between the leopard print clad and those wearing Celtic tops.

We loved it though. He played all the hits and we sang along with every word. Great show

I don't know any of his stuff except Young Hearts and Baby Jane
Now I have an ear worm with the latter...

I think that means that a. You are considerably younger than me and b. You need a musical education

Yo Panties!

Well done on the loss BOOP. I'm in Australia where we went Christmas tree shopping this morning - to a field full of Christmas trees, in scorching heat, cicadas singing. So not anything like a 'proper' Christmas. Still the tree is pretty and HUGE! I'm sure our puppy will attack it and we'll find him buried under a 10ft tree chewing the tinsel.

Beyond I would give up any thought of weight loss for now until you are well. Can you concentrate on nourishment and taking care of yourself.

Went out for dinner last night and I rather fell off the wagon - food wasn't too bad but man, the booze. I was rather in the mood for a drink so got smashed. Was fun though. Today feeling a bit tired but eating ok.

Put on 4 fucking cunt pounds. Argh!!!!!! In two Bastard days.

I want to be in Oz!

I'm 40 but friends in their 20s think Rod is great.

I am unsure how to manage next few days, off work but need to help look after mum so less working out and less food? If I hadn't gained this blooming five pounds I'd just keep on as I was but feel something needs adjusting?

Mummy is that water rentention?
