OK ... the weights.

Finally

(Make the most of that festive emoticon; it's the first and last time!)

Agalch: stayed the same (total 37lb)
JackieNo: -2lb (total 2lb)
Littlefish: -1lb (total 10.5lb)
TigerFeet: stayed the same (total 3lb)
WWB: stayed the same (total 16lb)

This week's mantra (courtesy of KewCumber): "Every ounce should be celebrated".

So, Celebrations all round this week!

I'm serious about the mantra, though ... it's all too easy to get disheartened by small losses, but it all adds up.

[JackieNoel]

Glad things are (hopefully) settling down, MrsJC.

And glad the party went well - we've got DS 3 days before Christmas, and then DD in the second week of January, so I'm in the throes of plannning 2 parties atm. Was stressing out about it quite a bit (DS's particularly, even though I'd already decided it was going to be in the New Year), so yesterday got on and actually booked rooms, ordered stuff online, and am feeling a bit happier about it all now.

[MrsJohnCuSackFullOfPresents]

Oh poor DD WWB. I hope she feels better soon

Sleep is a little better this week thanks for asking. He is still suffering v.badly with his teeth though - it seems never ending

DD's birthday and party all over now thank goodness, seemed quite succesful and she ahd a good time without too many strops

[JackieNoel]

Poor thing. Hope she feels better soon. There's a lot of stuff going round.

[WigWamBam]

Nah, not cross about the name.

Jackie, dd has got some sort of chesty throaty thing - high temperature, headachey, achey, fluey.

[bahKewcHumbug]

are you cross that I have pinched your name WWB

Think I will start posting weight again in the new year. New start.

[JackieNoel]

Oh no - poor her. What's up?

I'll take the little santa hats as read on any of your smileys then, shall I?

I've just taken DD to a party at a friend's house. It's not that far, so we walked, but I'm now damp and my face is frozen.

[WigWamBam]

I was almost half tempted to put a Christmas one just to show willing, but I really can't bring myself to do it.

Will do the weights in a bit, have been a bit busy this morning and dd is poorly so not much chance yet.

[JackieNoel]

Sorry (see}

[WigWamBam]

No, I meant

Humbug.

[JackieNoel]

I'll stop now, honest. My fingers pretty much do the normal smileys on their own, so remembering to do the 'f' in front doesn't come easily.

[JackieNoel]

Or did you mean ?

[JackieNoel]

...

[WigWamBam]

[JackieNoel]

Hey, WWB - look: . I know how much you enjoy the Christmas smileys .

[deckthehallswithFEETofTIGERs]

How's the sleeping going MrsJC?

[MrsJohnCuSackFullOfPresents]

I'd like to start posting
I just need to get my head in gear for making an effort

[deckthehallswithFEETofTIGERs]

I am definitely going to keep posting weights - although I suspect that I will be posting gains

I am working over Christmas - just the bank holidays off - so if I eat sensibly at work then hopefully it won't be too bad. Trouble is, there tends to be endless tins of sweets in the office at this time of year...

[agalch]

I'd like to keep posting too. If i don't i may go mad and eat everything in sight!!

Hmm like i don't already do that lol

[OhLITTLEFISHofBethlehem]

I'd like to keep posting. I need every incentive I can!

Jackie and Kew you are, of course, right. I should be celebrating every loss. Like WWB, I just felt a bit disappointed having lost such a lot over a couple of weeks. However, it's been a really good reminder to me that I will only lose weight if I'm sensible about my eating. If I cheat, then the only person I'm cheating is myself.

[JackieNoel]

(sorry - I'm not 'everyone else' - that's just me again).

[JackieNoel]

I think I'd like to keep posting my weight, even if other people decide they'd rather take a break. Might keep me vaguely on the straight-ish and narrow-ish.

[WigWamBam]

Hmmm ... what does everyone else want to do? I'm easy (cooer, missus) either way.

[JackieNoel]

We did take a break, but maybe we should just make it optional to post weights (maybe if we want to we could post our own weights, so you don't have to collate them for a couple of weeks, WWB).
