Van...I thought we had gremlins when I tried to review my last post

Well you could have knocked me for 6.
I lost 2lbs!!!! It just shows that you can follow the same eating regime and one week lose 0.5lb and the next 2lbs. That's a message to anyone keeping to the plan and not seeing your money's worth. Just keep plugging on and you will see a loss.

Me too!!! - 2lbs this week, only 1/2 lb last week, didn't do anything different!!! Only 2.5 lbs til target, wonder if i'll do it for next week?

Good luck everyone and keep up the good work.

Regards Denny

well done you two!! i put on 1 and a half but i knew my naughtiness would catch up with me!! back to basics i suppose, lindsay

Merry christmas all
Well done denny and hbrac. All good things and all that.

Didnt weigh this week. Have had a sore throat and stinking cold and just couldnt face seeing the scales. Have been trying hard so hopefully when I go next week, it will be positive. My consultant starts her maternity leave next week so its her last class until the new year and its "party night". Should be fun :). Not going to the christmas eve and new year's eve classes but I am going to be really good apart from christmas day and of course, new year's eve! Best laid plans but im determined to reach my 4 stone target before the end of February when I have been following the slimming world plan for a year. Only 4½lbs to go but it seems a million miles away at the moment what with christmas just around the corner :roll:.

Good luck everyone and happy holidays.

Hi all
Its very quiet here at the moment. Everyone must be off christmas shopping.

Weighed last night and ive gone up another ½lb :yikes. Definately going in the wrong direction at the moment. Its the mince pies that have done it for me and it would be rude not to eat one when they're offered, dont you think?

Going to try and have a positive week. If I can get a couple of lbs off this week then I wont feel so guilty over christmas eating, drinking and trying to be merry :).
to everyone and merry christmas.

Sarah

Hi Everyone

I fell off the wagon this month have'nt gone to a class at all I am deffinately going back in the New Year.

Sarah keep away from the mince pies

Good Luck to everyone with your weight loss over the festive period

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New year

Lynn

Hi all, Maintained again this week - don't think I'll ever get to target ( 2.5lbs away). Oh well. I'm going to be good until xmas day and then worry about it in the New Year !!!!

Good luck and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

Denny

Well, I'll be rejoining this thread 7th Janouary. Just had our 6th Chrimbo bash last night! Put some jeans on I ain't had on for a few weeks and had to lie on the bed to get the zip up .................and there's still Christmas and New Year celebrations yet. Oh well, thank god leggings are fashionable again.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Lycra the best thing invented! My diet is suspended til 2 Jan. Merry Christmas Everyone Love CBG x

Well just two more days to pig out till the diet starts.

Happy New Year everyone, talk to you all Wednesday.

I've weighed myself already! 3lb on... not too bad

gonna try to get it to 4

I will also be back on 1st January with my diet book out, my backside half in and half out of my too small jeans and trying to pretend that my dry cracker bread is actually a really large bar of chocolate!

Can't wait!

Happy new year everyone!

Hi Everyone,
Well 1 more day of over indulging and that's it
Was quite good during the week after Christmas day, weighed myself on Friday and had stayed the same, come Sunday 3lbs on it had eventually caught up. - we weighed in on 23rd and was due to weigh in last night but booked it as a holiday.
Still got quite a lot of chocs, cheese, nuts left it is either eat everything today or use them as syns. Not back at work until next Tuesday so disipline is my top priority this week.
Have a brilliant New Years eve everyone however you spend it. We are off to friends for a buffet, drinks and a game two of poker.
This site will be red hot over the next few days, weeks and months.
Happy New Year
Irene

Hi all :wave.

Well done to those of you who have braved the scales . I cant bring myself to do it but judging by the state of my jeans at the moment, it wont be pretty. Its been so worth it though :oops:. How easy is it to go back to eating, drinking and enjoying all the rubbish though?

My diet starts again on Wednesday and im so looking forward to a cooked lunch with all the trimmings including cauli cheese (my absolute favourite dish :D) on New Year's Day. After that its back to being VERY strict with myself and hopefully I can lose a couple of lbs for the big weigh in next Tuesday 7th. Fingers (and toes) crossed.

Happy New Year everyone. for the official christmas weigh ins.

Sarah

Hi Sarah,
I had forgotten about our New Years Day lunch - another Christmas Pud with cream so I am going to make it officially 2nd Jan as a new start and like you Sarah hope I can be a loser for next Tuesday 8th.
Enjoy the last couple of days.
Will get back on to the soups for lunches.
Irene.

I am going to have to face the music on Thursday. I zilched out of the past 2 weeks SW meetings and just had to eat all those lovely chocs in the house over Christmas. And then came the inevitable..in for a penny....so I reckon I have put on...well loadsaweight.

Once the kids are back at school and I can get back into my routine I will tread the path of eternal svelteness once again.

So who is going to fess up that they had a few too many syns over the festive season because it' s been mighty quiet on this thread and that only means one thing

Hi hbrac. Too many syns? What us? I think I had a weeks quota of syns on New Year's Eve alone Ive not done too well for the rest of the festive period either. I think everyone felt sorry for me for dieting and being good for so long and decided I needed a treat - I got three large tins of sweets and two tins of chocolate biscuits to name but a few .

From the waist of my jeans, I anticipate at least 5lbs on . Im not getting stressed about it. I had already decided that the diet was on holiday for the christmas/new year period and that I would eat, drink and enjoy. Ive only myself to blame when the scales dont show all good things next week but hey, Ive lost weight before, I can and will do it again

Take care all.

Sarah

Hi all
I'm back !
Weighed this morning and I am 4st 1lb lighter than a year ago
I need to lose another 2 stone this year so there will be plenty of posts from me from now on
Good luck and happy new year everyone
Lally

Hi Everyone
A Happy and Prosperous 2008 to you all. You have all been so helpful since I joined so glad I found this site.
2/1/08 is day 1 of my SW plan.
Put on 3lbs over the Christmas and New Year period - not bad considering. Still got loads of cheeses (going to freeze them later into 1 oz cubes), sweets, chocs and other goodies - will make sure my family enjoy them over a period of time!!!!!
I don't weigh in until next Tuesday so a whole week to get back into it good style.
Off to make Carrot soup for lunch.
Browsed through the back copies of the SW magazines last nigh for ideas so raring to go. I seem to struggle with ideas for breakfast Monday - Friday. I like cereals but don't like to use up so much of my milk allowance? Any ideas - I like different things, has to be quite quick as I leave the house at 7.30am.
Speak soon.
Irene
