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)

lovely haircut. you suit long and short hair, that's lucky. I just haven't got a short hair face, also my hair is not the type that suits being short.

I don't get a huge amount of wooshing, I bloat up and down but it doesn't show much on the scales.

BitOutOfPractice · 23/12/2016 11:02

Oh I like that cut. I have long hair but I am considering a change...

Great hair mummy. Also v nice top you have on. I love a stripe. V Jean Seberg chic.

Mummyreindeerlegz · 23/12/2016 11:45

I like this top far too much for something I bought at primark 🙈

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 23/12/2016 13:23

Love the hair mummy, and congratulations on the Linda!

Boop your pub crawl/M&S shop sounds amazing, I might have to steal that idea Grin

I had a nice coffee with an old friend this morning, I hadn't seen her for ages. And I'm off to do the Christmas shop this afternoon! Looking forward to it, but hopefully the shops aren't too manic.

I feel like I haven't lost the plot too much food-wise yet, but I have managed to drink quite a lot of baileys these last few evenings. Worth it though Smile

BOOP are you and BF shitfaced? Grin

Christmas Eve here - kids have had cocopops and chocolates for breakfast. I've had 3 cups of tea and 2 painkillers (back still rubbish and painful).

I have also been to the supermarket - was there at 7am so all Xmas food shopping done! Halo

Off swimming later to attempt to tire out the dd's. dd1 has stated that she will NOT be sleeping at all tonight so hurrah for that.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Christmas tunes and coffee here, pancake brunch feast coming up!

MERRY CHRISTMAS LOVELY LOVELIES!

Archie I think "shit faced" is a pretty accurate description of our state, yes

QuimReaper · 24/12/2016 13:43

Oooh, lovely hair Mummy!

BOOP are you still shitfaced from yesterday or did you just start again with breakfast? Xmas Grin

Archie you were in the supermarket at 7am?! You're incredible! I have to wash the slow cooker in the shower because we have two rooms and a building site at home, so our only source of running water is the tiny bathroom sink! It's OK for cutlery but anything bigger gets washed up in a huge tupperware, and anything too big for the tub goes in the shower. I can't wait to have a kitchen again.

I've just finished my shopping and having a lovely solitary boozey lunch! I've eaten (drunk) about sixty thousand calories in the last couple of days and showing no sign of stopping! MEERRRRYYY CHRIIIIISRTMAAAAAS! Xmas Grin Xmas Grin Xmas Grin

ON CHRISTMAS EVE?!?!?!!

Xmas Shock

I am blinded by your halo of insanity!

BitOutOfPractice · 24/12/2016 16:09

I know. But it was worth it because I got a new low weight on the scales (fractionally). 0.3 of a Linda off which makes 3.4 for the month. A miracle!

I'm taking that now before I go home and eat a Chinese takeaway Xmas Grin

Lorelei76 · 24/12/2016 22:23

I would have gone to the gym if not at my folks.

Will be working out on Boxing Day. Ate some Xmas cake out of sheer boredom, I don't even like it.

BitOutOfPractice · 25/12/2016 11:43

HAPPY CHRISTMAS SLENDERISTAS!

Forget Linda and tuck into the Christmas bugger!

Have a lovely day!

Happy Boxing Day lovelies!

I woke up with a festive cold yesterday and am tremendously snotty. I'm going to have one last go at eating everything in the house before getting back on the wagon tomorrow! What's everyone else up to?

HairsprayBabe · 26/12/2016 11:11

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a lovley christmas Smile I have had a total feast the last few days. 12.5 this morning so still 1lb down on the start of the month, I would be happy if I end up just maintaining now! Bring on January when I can really get back on it!

BitOutOfPractice · 26/12/2016 12:25

Hello! Hope you had a lovely day. We ate our heads off and just prepping dinner for my family today.

Look at this ginger and cranberry trifle we've made.

Oh my goodness BOOP that looks absolutely superb!

Hairspray I hope I am maintaining too, I lost so little this month I wouldn't be surprised if I'm heavier than when I started right now!

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 26/12/2016 20:24

Happy Boxing Day everyone! Hope you all had merry christmases.

I am also hoping to clamber back onto the wagon tomorrow. Not yet though

Archduke · 26/12/2016 21:37

Hi all

Happy Christmas to one and all, BOOP that looks delicious.

I seem to have put on a couple of Linda's FGS I've only had 2 days of eating like a pig and 6 days off exercising (back still stuffed). I need to get back on the diet horse but today (27th) we're off to some friends for a giant feed this afternoon. To be honest, I'd rather not, am feeling wildly anti-social but I expect I'll buck up.

I think I'll need a massive kick up the pants tomorrow though to properly get back to it - so if one of you could oblige I'd be very grateful.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of Boxing day Xmas Smile

KikisDeliveryService · 27/12/2016 11:40

I am in not in the position to kick anyone up the pants as I am firmly fingers in ears re. eating until the new year. But my DS and I have a no sugar pact for January.

However, I am newly slave to a fitbit (flex 2) so am getting my exercise in where possible. Nothing major but walking and some physio. I had been thinking about a run today but it's turned into plans of a long walk with a podcast. But maybe a run as well later. Maybe. very unlikely Grin
