It’s that time of year again when mince pies attack and the baileys is calling.

Trying to stay on the wagon is easier when you ihave the Slenderistas on your side

Congratulations on the job offer Hairspray!

And well done Donald!

I was still the same yesterday, but am definitely not sticking to my calories at the moment. I did make it to bodypump this morning though!

Happy Saturday everyone. Some great losses. I'm not long home from town after Xmas shopping. It's freezing out! No gym today but I did buy myself a skipping rope with a calorie counter today so I shall be doing a home workout Later.

Breakfast was a gingerbread and cream latte from Costa. Was so good but I dread to think how many calories were in it .
Lunch was a homemade slice of my mum's bread toasted with some salted butter. Dinner is a weight watchers chicken lasagne.

I'm not going to weigh myself again until Monday as then I know I've 2 weeks left to be at my ideal weight...well hopefully.

Enjoy it hair!

Keep having ok but not great days?
Off on a date tomorrow as well and shitting myself

Well done hair!

I'm struggling to stay motivated at the moment...

Good luck lasty. More details needed!

I have been single for 4 years but the thought of dating terrifies me. I think I'm too lazy and set in my ways!

I'd love to hear some positive stories!

Relieved after a weeklong booze fest to have sts at 59.5kg (9.5lb). I've been trying to limit my food intake to make up for the booze calories😳

If I could just stay below 60kg I'd be very happy this month... Let's see...

Weekly check in, a tiny loss to report but a loss never the less so happy. Now down over 10lbs since the beginning of Nov.
I’m amazed at how well some of you are doing with all the parties starting already, you must be so strict for the rest of the time to balance it out & still manage a loss.
Judge Judy I really fancy a highly calorific festive coffee for bfast now😂

Better post before I fall off the thread...

I have avoided scales all week as I know it won't be ok and wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Next week is a fresh start, hoping for better behaviour from me!

Readyforsunshine it was totally worth the calories .

I walked to the gym in the snow this morning. Was awesome running on the treadmill facing the huge windows watching the snow falling!

Went on my date, nice enough guy had a laugh no spark.

Looking for cats on the side

Speaking of cats, my littlest one says meow.

I’ve stayed the same at weigh in which I’m happy about!

I’m trying to be good in between all the partying - been out 4 days in a row though this week!

I've stayed the same. Had a nice date on Friday night though
Drank way too much.

Haha this is like the weight loss and dating thread.
There's a Bridget Jones joke in here somewhere

He was an old flame. Potential to meet again soon.

9.12 so I am the same as the start of the month, but considering there was soooo much food this weekend I am pretty happy with that.

Also, I have a snow day today

I seem to be still 9.7.

If I can lose a little more in the run up to Christmas, I won't worry about bounce back .

9.4 (59.2kg) for me this morning. I did lots of (work-related) stress eating this weekend which I'm sure will come back to bite me in the ass later this week. I'm going to try and be healthy this week!

Also staying the same. This is good really considering the festivities. If I can get through to 2018 with no gain I won't be complaining.

Great news on the jobs, losses and dates - congrats Hairspray and Donald and lasty and Niki!

I had an OK-ish weigh in on Friday, am about a Linda up on goal which isn't ideal, as that was my last chance at a golden week, so it's bound to snowball with my social calendar. I can have 3 golden days this week, and I might manage to be sensible on Thursday when MIL is taking us out for dinner, and then I can have 3 golden days next week with a blowout in the middle, but then all bets are off until January! I'm hoping to contain the damage to 1.5kg, but I'm not sure even that's plausible.

We had a blast this weekend at our annual Cheesefest, but I now have the world's stinkiest cold - didn't move from the sofa at all yesterday, had a takeaway for dinner, and hardly slept a wink last night between a blocked nose and a heavy chest.

There was beautiful snow yesterday, but just have grey sludge and sleety rain now, and apparently it's going to be -5 for most of tomorrow, it's going to be a sodding ice rink - no idea whether or not I'll manage to get any steps in, the temptation to hunker down will be strong...

Today has been a food disaster, snow day from work and just ended up picking and nibbling all day...

I've had a rare really good day thank goddd
