Decadent December

[Octopus37]

Its been a long, difficult year once, so I thought maybe we could all be a bit decadent in December whether or not this involves food.

I'm starting at nearly three pounds up since last month, but I did have Covid so it was an abnormal low., 8st12.5. Aiming to go for damage limitation throughout December.

Happy Birthday @HeyGirlHeyBoy
Wow @TheHoneyBadger you have done brilliantly and must be so proud!
I said to DH yesterday I’d love to go into London as I’m missing it but maybe not if it’s that busy @Octopus37!
Off to a garden centre today to pick up some nice Christmas bits/food!
Happy Sunday everyone

More just still shocked that I managed to pile on so much weight so quickly after surgery. Scary how easy it is. I think peri was playing a part too and since I’ve gotten on the right dose of hrt I’ve found losing weight so much easier. Before I was regularly burning 2500cals between life and the gym and watching what I ate yet losing little or nothing. Now I’m burning around 1600 and 2000 on busier days and not going to the gym yet losing 🤷‍♀️

Have a nice outing

Congrats, @TheHoneyBadger - that’s fantastic! And happy birthday @HeyGirlHeyBoy.

10/7 still here, and will average over 10k steps a day throughout the week.

Thanks.

11:13.6 today.

I actually glimpsed my December goal. 🤞I can hold onto it and ideally build on it by the end of the month.

Wow wow wow Honeybadger Incredible, bet you are thrilled. Thanks for birthday wishes! All OK here obviously went off plan, such as it is but no binging or stopping off solo to buy junk. Will weigh tomorrow.

I ate nothing but chocolate, chocolate log and party food yesterday, but reasonable water and snacks. Off our to do some work shortly so will manage steps today. Off to a meet a friend for drinks tonight. Glad you had a good day @HeyGirlHeyBoy. @TheHoneyBadger that's amazing.

10/8 here today. So it begins...

Excellent new @TheHoneyBadger

I was down to 11st 7 over the weekend, which was my December goal. Back to 11st 8 today. I'm pretty happy though, I'm maintaining pretty well and not actually aiming to lose weight right now.

Just checking in, I’ve completely fallen off the wagon! Trying to rein it in over the next few days as I feel gross!

9st here today. Drinks with a friend last night. Food not healthy, but luckily did lots of running around yesterday so good steps. I'm aiming for damage limitation. If anyone likes mince pies, the Cafe Nero luxury ones are lush.

10/8 this morning but at least did 11,000 steps yesterday.

Still sticking at around 11st 8 at the moment. I would be quite happy to start 2022 at that weight. And then focus on losing the rest.

10/7 today and did 12,000 steps yesterday. I agree @LadyDanburysHat - I think not gaining (too much) over the holidays is my goal. I’m off until 6 January but at least most of my socialising has been cancelled 🙈

I didn't weigh this morning. Quite a bit of food yesterday, but over 17,000 steps. Over 7,000 steps so far today. Very tired today, off to a friend's for a take away tonight. May weigh in on Christmas Eve.

I plan to weigh over the Christmas period just so I can keep an eye on my gluttony haha. But not going to worry too much.

I’ll weigh daily - it’s just part of my morning routine now as soon as I am up/used the loo.

Steps just about ok yesterday. Had a takeaway curry with friends last night. Weighed this morning, was 8st13, expected to be a lot more. Will be keeping a tab on it over Christmas.

Only 7,000 steps yesterday as I didn’t leave the house. Weight 10/7 this morning, but meeting a friend for lunch (provided we both test negative).

Just bobbing around the 12st mark here these days. Aiming not to gain over Christmas 🤞

You are all putting me to shame
I’m dreading stepping on the scales after Christmas!

You are all putting me to shame I’m dreading stepping on the scales after Christmas!

@LBB2020, I've totally lost the plot, have since the start of December. I'm going to pay for it come January 😬

@NutellaEllaElla I’m glad I’m not the only one!

I am not doing horrifically, let's put it as kindly as I can Will step on scales tomorrow just to keep an eye.

Hi all! Can I join? Needing a group to keep me going! I'm currently barely under 10st10 after a holiday...flu..bronchitis...stomach bug thought you were supposed to lose weight while sick but apparently not. Anyway not weighing or counting until after christmas just trying not to overdo it and embrace the extra insulation

Welcome @Nypie, hope you feel better soon. Hope everyone has a good Christmas. I didn't weigh in this morning, like everyone not eating brilliantly at the moment. Hope everyone has a good one, Merry Christmas all, apologies, dont know how to do Christmas emojis
